There's loads of old Trots in British media too, they're just 'socially conservative' neocons now though.

Exactly. Plus it's a red meat political issue for the kind of reactionary gammons they're exclusively chasing for votes now in the way that a private company isn't (even though the RAF planes were owned by a hedge fund).
Not yet. It'll be debated in the Lords later today & likely come into effect at Midnight on Friday night.
There's also an online action meeting about next steps at 7pm UK time on Friday and if people are new to direct action there's still a crash course online at 7pm UK time (but for international audiences) you can signup for tonight.
Here in the UK the Co-Op supermarket has dropped Israeli products entirely after it won a vote in their AGM. The banking & insurance side of the business already doesn't do business with Israel.
Dino grabber emoji when?
I don't know why the Dino grabber is wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat but this is really cute.
Somehow there's something even sadder (and just as disgusting) about these centrist melts doing the nostalgia 'Return' thing for an era as recent as the 90s. I have zero tolerance for the fascist longing for an imaginary 1950s that didn't exist but at least it feels far enough away and there's a lack of media of ordinary life that you can make it into kind of fantasy themepark of nostalgia. Somehow this shit is even more pathetic.
He was the Health Spokesman for them up until 2021. I don't know what if anything he does now. He tried to become a Green MP candidate at one point but did pretty badly. He was like the sixth choice or something.
Yeah, they are better than most but there is only 4 of them.
Exactly. Even here in the UK we recently agreed to meet Trump's demand for 5% of GDP on military spending and stalking about building a war economy, but even then we're doing it by fudging the budgets to include not only traditional military spending as per NATO request but things like 'border security' and domestic surveillance. Lots of which won't be used in service of Ukraine or missions abroad, but repression at home.
The timeline of the process over the next few days:
There's also an online action meeting at 7pm (UK time) this Friday about broader resistance next steps and direct action introduction workshops online every evening this week before the process is finalised.
They're based in Georgia and do other stuff too, but I just thought these were neat.
Since according to Bill Ackman the presence of a place you can buy eggs without a 100% markup is going to plunge NYC instantly into a Mad Max / Escape from New York style hellscape, what gangs are we all joining?
Personally I'm thinking the one of slightly sexy cultists who worship bodega cats.
How about you comrades?

There's an enormous media and social media push at the moment to lionize the two Israeli embassy 'diplomats' killed. Everything from tearjerking 
stories about how he'd just proposed to the more prominent and seemingly constructed narrative that he was at this event trying to 'help' the situation in Gaza and 'talk about how to get aid to Palestinians'.
That's a fucking lie. He was exactly the sort of fucking ghoul you'd expect. And we can tell this in part because they haven't scrubbed his Twitter or all of his articles yet (although Google results state that a number of results for him have been removed under the EU 'right to be forgotten' law, so no doubt it's underway).
First of all, he was a German-Israeli citizen who volunteered who seems to have volunteered for the IDF.
Secondly, according to people he'd worked with and studied under, he was a Christian Zionist with a rabid love for the Israeli political project in particular.
His views were as you'd expect. A vile, smug, hasbara operative who spent both his personal and professional time spreading genocide apologia, barefaced Israeli lies, conspiracy theories about the UN, attacked & vilified aid organisations before & after Israel killed their workers, and rejected international law when the ICC & ICJ didn't tow the line.
Right up to the final hours before he was killed, he was retweeting statements denying starvation Gaza and calling it 'blood libel'.
Was he fuck working on aid solutions. He was an ideological Zionist fascist and a genocidal freak who had fun helping to perpetuate it. He should be remembered as such.
Wait, we are?
Looks at my Friday (almost) clocking-off time bottle of 0% alcohol beer, uncooly.
