The bizarre and disturbing thing is that Joshua Bonehill-Paine is one of the few figures on the right to be loudly and clearly called out for anti-semitism. Is that because it doesn't happen much on the right? You have to be kidding. So why the double standards? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No one should get a free pass on antisemitism – so why does the right?

There is legitimate scrutiny of antisemitism on the left, but at the same time, rightwing media outlets offend with impunity. That makes no sense, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.

REFORM DEFEATED IN GREATER MANCHESTER MAYORAL ELECTION

You could say the same about any public service, or anything at all of public interest. The demands of capital owners trounce all other considerations, degrade the service and transform it into something with an entirely different purpose. UEFA's succinct critique of capital should be framed.

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness.
