The correct word is hostages not detainees.
An endorsement on the front cover from John Boyne is not the marketing tool I would employ.
James Landale: A Chinese-led world order, one where territorial integrity and human rights are valued less than raw power and economic development, might prove uncomfortable for many Western countries. James has clearly had his head up his rectum if he thinks the West values those in any way.
If Mark Rowley believes threats to punch people should be ignored, maybe we should call for Mark Rowley to be punched. I'm sure he'll take it on the chin, or even the balls.
I wonder how transphobic Wes would feel about a tweet that says - If Wes Streeting presents himself in public he's risking public disorder. Call the cops, or if all else fails kick him in the balls.
The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in đ§”: theconversation.com/how-should-l...
BBC Reporter: (neonazi rhetoric) Labour Prime Minister: yes
Genocide supporter and self avowed misogynist says what?
Transphobes belong with the rest of the bigots on Twitter- or better again, in the bin.
And to be clear, by Zionist I mean anyone of whatever race or ethnicity that supports the genocidal ethnostate of Israel.
No Zionist should be allowed in a public space without feeling unwelcome. Genocidal scum have no place in society.
Get back to Twitter.
Palestinians warned of a genocide in 2023. Why werenât we believed? | Ahmed Ibsais
"Attributing group differences to genes provides a simple, easy-to-understand explanation that sounds credible to a general public regularly fed a diet of âgene-for-Xâ explanations in the media"
Giving your health information to people who clearly have no regard for data protection is not wise.
To be clear, the rant is laced with disgusting antisemitism, which deserves outright rejection.
For context, one is an angry rant by a largely powerless individual, the other is a political ideology being imposed by a nuclear state, with the support of the world's most powerful nations. So largely the same, I guess
Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? âCan you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Letâs not fight against the Confederacy. Letâs just try to get along, and maybe one day theyâll give us our freedom?â

Take a look at the health inequalities in the US. You've been operating eugenics based on race and poverty forever.
The exceptions prove the rule. All politicians are bad
Molly is an American who doesn't live in America. You need to get off social media and do something about your comprehension of simple facts.
Israel for example
You mean he's like all the other Democratic or Republican politicians.
They weren't prisoners of war. Hostages is the correct term.
Maybe just stfu? Why bring statistics used out of context by white nationalists unless you're a white nationalist stooge.
Not sure a war criminal is best placed to make the case against the far right. Campbell has played a significant part in destroying public trust that has aided the rise of the far right.
superb piece by @interfluidity.com drafts.interfluidity.com/2025/08/20/t...
EU imposed austerity is largely to blame for the rise of the far-right. Its militaristic / imperialist mindset compounds, if not creates, much of the world's geopolitical instability. It is no ally of ordinary people or world peace and justice.
Why do you say that? The piece provides a history and context on what Kilmar Garcia has been through, and is an accurate reflection of the headline. There aren't even any pop up ads.

She suggests that because they didn't ask a) her, or b) the entire population that the data can't be true. She works in academia. God help us
They've posted 3 times saying they dont believe me or the data. I suggest you take up shutting someone down with them.
I'm guessing you're white and middle class, which may colour your view on the levels of racism, not just in the UK, but across Europe, including Ireland. Propaganda works, sadly.
That's because I'm replying to your point. Smh
Not my figures. A YouGov poll. YouGov blame it on misinformation but it's people's racist belief all the same. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...
When the media have convinced 45% of Brits to want mass deportation of immigrants I think it's fair to say they have a racism problem. But of course it's the fault of the left. Smh
Your reply in this thread was clearly in response to a completely different post that you have now introduced. Maybe pedant or contrarian for you is a fairer description than sealion
âYou canât simply proscribe Sally Rooney and be done with it. You canât reach into the London Underground and pull her books out of the hands of commuters who want to live vicariously and cathartically through her throuples and hunks on the verge of tears.â This weekâs Surrealing.
Given the fetish range possible, I'm sure someone would get off on this. The same, of course, can be said for a pair of dirty trainers, so it's hardly a useful bar. Bluesky labels are sadly a joke.
What odds she's dead by Christmas?
I still believe a state backed indemnity scheme could be provided to all schools receiving state funding. It would surely be cheaper than funding commercial insurance policies for each individual school as is the current position.
To my fellow EU people, Chat Control is a proposal made to scan all messages, photos, and private conversations without consent. We can stop this, mass surveillance isn't the answer, let's contact our reps ! fightchatcontrol.eu#contact-tool
The move from word to deed can be hard but it is never more essential. #speirgorm #otb #GazaFamine
There is no reason that the state can't provide insurance / indemnity to schools in the same way that it does for the HSE.

The strategy is not to buy into fake outrage about culture war bs. If you think using Overton Window lost the Dems the last election you're a lost cause.
Was the RCP support for a ballot of NUM strikers the first clear indication of a rightwatd drift? My recollection is they were never taken seriously on the left.
Gaza City is in famine, caused by Israel's blocking of aid. For those of us who have never experienced nor witnessed such horror, mass starvation is difficult to understand. The Journal spoke to doctors about what happens when a person starves. http://jrnl.ie/6793073
Lol. In the context of draconian attacks on welfare for the most vulnerable, criminalisation of protest, and government support for 1970's National Front policies your list looks a bit lame.
That's fair, but we have a similar problem in Ireland with politicians and media feeding far right narratives whilst in total denial about having a serious racism problem. Let's be explicit about it.
The biggest problem the UK faces clearly isn't immigration. It's racism. The government isn't tackling the problem. It's doing all it can to feed it.
Exactly. Politicians and media are afraid to say what is blindingly obvious - the UK has a serious racism problem.
How is this crook still influencing public policy? The French and EU legal systems are a disgrace allowing such convicts continue to fill their pockets. www.occrp.org/en/news/imf-...
Yep. Just in for a chat with his handlers
1970s National Front right there
Pretty? Wtf
NATO war crime fan speaks.
The reality, of course, is that every President of the USA is a war criminal too, and the vast majority of western leaders are at least complicit in enabling war crimes.
Two countries engaged in enabling genocide. A proud moment for all involved

Oh, really?
Why would Radiohead have replies turned off? Maybe it's because they're on the BDS list for their support of Israel. Boycotting Radiohead concerts includes recordings of them bdsmovement.net/boycott-radi...
Genius. Thanks
Is there anyway to change the order that feeds appear at the top of the page? I'd like this to go next to Following
There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
Now the election is over, the government's bringing back blatant austerity. This is while the government has a record âŹ25 Billion surplus. While making families go hungry, they're funneling more & more money into the hands of landlords / private developers. #CostOfGreed #SpĂ©irGhorm
Oh do fuck off with your salty Reform tears.
Labour did indeed enact a watered-down version of its manifesto commitment to workers' rights. It has also made clear its absolute commitment to more austerity, and their opposition to workers seeking pay increases. If you believe they won't be attacking workers rights you can't be taken seriously
Having criminalised protest against government policy, Reeves is ready to repay her financial backers and rip into workers rights.

Hi there folks holidaying with children, here are the latest stats from our YouTube channel of poems and stories. Just crashed through to 154 million views. 835K subscribers 571 videos 154,019,164 views www.youtube.com/c/MichaelRos...
Have you any means by which we can support you financially, Michael? These dreadful people win if you are out of pocket, and many of us would rather they didn't.
Rudy appreciates your kindness
No. It makes an ass out of u and me
I didn't know asking someone to read a little is uncivil. Sorry.
82% of Israelis support the eradication of Palestinians in Gaza. Read a little before exposing your ignorance www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
The Ukraine flag and brain death found in the same place on social media again. This one has the flag of Saint George as a cherry on the cake.
I suspect that you won't find any others that have such a large proportion of their citizens wildly cheering on genocide as there is in Israel. Zionism is a racist genocidal ideology
The biggest protests in Israel were against the arrest of prison guards accused of raping Palestinian prisoners. The current protests are not against the genocide, they are about the risk of Israeli prisoners being killed in the total destruction of Gaza. Israel is a diseased society.
The law is terrorism
They're not protesting against the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians - this is of no concern to them. They are only concerned about the risk to their compatriots held captive in Gaza. Israel is a deeply diseased society.
Bigots standing together. No surprise
The latest spate of attacks on Indian people is simply the outworking of a renormalisation of racism within our public discourse.
Anyone in the UK government or military that has provided assistance of any kind to Israel since 8 October 2023 is a war criminal who should face the full force of the law. They must be traced and brought before the International Court of Justice, just like the Nazis.
Kate is an inspirational fighter for justice and human rights. Sending her my very best wishes
The scum we want off our streets are the fascists and their enablers in Westminster. Eagle should find out that she's not welcome anywhere she is seen.

Stephen this is the 'wife beater' defence - "Look what you made me do". Delete.
Are these acts being assisted and paid for by your government?
Rhys, I suggest there would be very small numbers cheering on the death of civilians in any circumstance. I'd challenge you to find even a handful. The genocide in Gaza is of a different magnitude and more importantly is being assisted with funding from US, UK and EU taxes. This focuses attention
Good luck with the election Zack, but flooding people's timelines with such large numbers of reposts is going to get you muted by many, and could get your account suspended as spam.
You support deportation of people whose politics you disagree with?
Alternatively, Starmer promised something might or might not happen at a later date depending on circumstances that are subject to change. He also acted like a chimp to organ grinder Trump, and is a completely useless pos.
