Correva l'anno 1982. Hamas non esisteva. Hezbollah nemmeno. E Israele vantava già trent’anni di crimini documentati. Dedicato ai politici dalla memoria corta, ai giornalisti al libro paga della politica di cui sopra, ai connazionali dall’etica intermittente.

What's happening with Pride Events and the rollback of corporate sponsorships? Last week I was interviewed for the @Independent and I discussed why the "golden era" of Pride sponsorships might be over and what implications may there be for Pride Events.

The description of care workers as low skilled is hugely offensive. Not all skills can be taught. The ability to care for vulnerable people with compassion and in a way that protects their dignity is one that should be prized and rewarded to a much greater extent than it is.

Keir Starmer in happier days on the 'island of strangers ' when immigrants were a jolly photo op & not an excuse for every crappy thing that happens to a nation more committed to extreme capitalism than the welfare of it's people .

Is Starmer competing with Enoch Powell’s rivers of blood speech ? ‘ Island of Strangers’ ? Is this what 10 months in powers has reduced him to ? Instead of redistributing wealth & fighting corruption he’s become a shameful mouthpiece for obscene wealth & inequality.
