Faith groups want more say in secular Britain. Labour should tell them to go to hell

@br00t4c yep, unless they let all schizophrenics have a say on how the countries run, then that is fair, but until that happens the "imaginary friend" people can do whatever they want but they don't get to tell me what to do...

If your profile boasts this flag 🇵🇸 without this 🇮🇱 next to it - as an anarchist I use neither - you are not advocating for “peace”.

You are advocating for the eradication of a democratic state that - like all democracies - is under constant and recently rather successful attacks by extremist fucks, but still has a lot of good going for going for it, and replacing it by yet another caliphate state run by a barbaric terror cult.

Queen or Queen Consort? Inside the debate over Camilla’s title

http://archive.today/2024.05.03-185806/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/camilla-queen-consort-royal-role-title-xl9gc2zjh
We have a poverty and health crisis, we are going to be stuffed on the environment (having stuffed it), by this is the ‘news' being offered to placate the plebs. And we bloody pay for this charade.

It beggars belief. If people wish to be courtiers, then fine - on your own money and in your own time - that goes for the ‘Royal’ Family.

It must be wild to be a student right now.

School shootings? You’re on your own. Thoughts and prayers.

Peaceful protest? That’s going too far. Send in the riot gear.

That America feels empowered to intervene in one but not the other tells you everything you need to know.

@Haste police won't enter an active shooter situation, they might get their lovely fascist costume all dirty or worse get shot by one of their own far right head banging incel gun nuts, that just won't do, they just wait outside until they either run out of bullets or children to murder, then they can go in, pat them on the back & then gently arrest them. But protesters aren't generally armed or violent, plus their bosses don't like freedom of speech or assembly so they have to stamp it out...

@sjvn good, they might not be so happy to improve their profitability through mass layoffs that serve zero purpose other than to diminish their own service for profit, now that diminished service will also be impacted by those same tech staff moving to competitors allowing their service to improve at the same time therefore taking market share and it now becoming a much much more important business this is to slash staff just to improve their shareholder dividends.

Before you give too much credit to Dan Poulter (MP & doctor) for abandoning the Tories to join Labour, don't forget he's been an MP for 14 years & been working as a doctor all that time.... so one might have expected him to notice the Tory engineered crisis in the NHS quite some time before now.

No, he's defecting because he can see the Tory electoral meltdown coming & wants to preserve his happy position of having two well-paying jobs.

    @DrALJONES so is this land that the IDF has cleared as part of the war on Hamas post October the 7th? Is this land that was occupied by Palestinian families before October 7th and were the people forced out of those homes by the bombing & military forces charged by Bibi to rid Palestine of Hamas?

    @CelloMomOnCars@mastodon.social avatar

    We really need to stop buying into the argument that are "radical" or "destructive". The opposite is true: the nature of the protests have been peaceful and, on the whole, pretty tame.

    The idea that, say, sitting on a road is "radical", "extreme" and "criminal" came from a bunch of aligned think tanks, parroted by the media.
    Reject them.

    The framing needs to be: Fossil fuel companies are radical, extreme, criminal.
