Lots more like this in the Secret Barrister's book. Perhaps this might be one area where Starmer could do some good
A criminal case with allegations dating back to 2018 finally reaches trial, but can't happen today due to a catalogue of failures: - Prosecutor is on holiday - Even if here, he's so old he can't travel into London - OIC & reviewing lawyer can't be contacted
We, citizens of Israel, working in Israeli academic institutions, share civil responsibility for the horrendous acts done in our name at the Gaza Strip, in particular the contempt for human lives, the policy of starvation and the demolition of Gazan cities. We call upon all those…
so i’ve been attempting to do this for the last two months and was wondering if anyone else who fancies doing this would like to have a group chat/shared doc or something where we share our favourite things we’ve read?
Ray Bradbury; this is how you rebuild an attention span
On virtually every level, the Starmer government is beyond the pale. Starmer himself is a disaster as a politician. His Cabinet largely composed of opportunists and mediocrities. That's why 460,000 have signed up for something different and better. The Labour MPs who should join…
My husband’s cousin was murdered today trying to retrieve aid in Gaza.
A prominent number theorist writes
Honestly the only number that 3 really “owns” is 9. 6 is its own thing, 4 takes 12, 15 is clearly 5 territory, 18 & 24 are in the 6 family, 21 is embedded in 7’s lore, 27 only reminds me of 9 and 30 is obviously a 10 multiple.
The Lionesses are playing in the #Euros2025 Final Now I’ve got your attention Israel is starving children to death in Gaza as a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing #engvspa
We should expel the Israeli ambassador, Amir Maimon. He represents a criminal, genocidal regime and we should show our revulsion by throwing him out. Israel would retaliate by expelling our ambassador in Tel Aviv, but so what ? Maybe re-post if you agree ?
Tomorrow I start a course in spoken - yes, spoken - Proto-Indo-European. This means that when I acquire a time machine (bound to happen) & travel back to year 3,001 BC on the grassy plains north of the Black Sea, I will be able to bargain for fermented mare's milk & mutton stew
The coffee place I go to serves their cortados in a tiny cup that I find humiliating to walk around with, so when I order it I ask for a regular cup, and then when it’s ready, they call out, “Cortado in a big cup!” which is also humiliating.
It’s Day 8 of Gaza surviving on nothing but salt and water. My ribcage is visible now, our bodies are fading like everything else we’ve lost. Our homes are gone. Our families torn apart. Even our flesh is being stripped away. We are starving, grieving, heartbroken, & forgotten.
Please don’t ignore this post. My baby needs milk. My baby needs milk. My baby needs milk. Simply leaving 3 comments might help this message reach more people — and you might be the reason he survives. Don’t scroll past… my baby is hungry, and he deserves to live.…
Malnutrition is hitting my children hard, and the situation is getting worse day by day. My children are in urgent need of medical care, intensive medication, healthy food, clean water, and specially fortified milk with essential vitamins but all of these are extremely expensive…
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. 3 staff working, talking to each other in a series of squeaks and whistles. I have a voice recording, so I can report them all to the Soup Dragon. We must confront them every time.
Remember when @marcatracy of the NYT asked Ms. Rachel, on the record and for publication, whether she was Hamas?
Flawless food supply = food supply where tank shells aren’t fired at starving kids waiting for rice
Israel is the only nation on Earth that is expected to set up a flawless food supply chain to feed a nation they’re at war with
“It’s our policy to ask, do you or your parents have affiliation to Hamas?” That’s the question the @BBCWorld producers asked for a 17-year -old child from Gaza before inviting him for an interview. Imagine asking a starving child living a genocide this. I am wondering,…
Starmer has got Gaza so obviously and hideously wrong he should now consider his position. There has been no more shameful period in Labour’s history.
