Don't Mention the Children (Israel bans radio advert listing names of children killed in Gaza. ' Guardian, 24 July 2014) Don't mention the children. Don't name the dead children. The people must not know the names of the dead children. The names of the children must be hidden. The children must be nameless. The children must leave this world having no names. No one must know the names of the dead children. No one must say the names of the dead children. No one must even think that the children have names. People must understand that it would be dangerous to know the names of the children. The people must be protected from knowing the names of the children. The names of the children could spread like wildfire. The people would not be safe if they knew the names of the children. Don't name the dead children. Don't remember the dead children. Don't think of the dead children. Don't say: 'dead children'

Cynddylan on a Tractor Ah, you should see Cynddylan on a tractor. Gone the old look that yoked him to the soil, He's a new man now, part of the machine, His nerves of metal and his blood oil. The clutch curses, but the gears obey His least bidding, and lo, he's away Out of the farmyard, scattering hens. Riding to work now as a great man should, He is the knight at arms breaking the fields' Mirror of silence, emptying the wood Of foxes and squirrels and bright jays. The sun comes over the tall trees Kindling all the hedges, but not for him Who runs his engine on a different fuel. And all the birds are singing, bills wide in vain, As Cynddylan passes proudly up the lane.

Identity politics has been a smear for decades. The right use it to lament the loss of free speech, while many on the left bemoan it as the end of class politics. It has been used to dismiss movements such as Black Lives Matter and brought seemingly progressive people into the path of fascism. It has emboldened the march of the transphobes. In Fractured, the authors move away from the ahistorical temper of the identity politics debate. Instead of crudely categorising race, gender and sexuality as fixed and immutable identities, or forcing them under the banner of diversity, they argue that these categories are inseparable from the history of class struggle under British and US capitalism.

Roald Dahl The witches “If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

"Without traducing the entire Green Party and their activist base when I see some of the people who joined the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, and have since left the Labour Party and joined the Greens, I feel a sense of relief "I feel sorry for the old, cuddly environmentalists who are now overrun with a bunch of people who made the Labour Party unelectable, who'll be delighted that Zack Polanski would happily pull us out of Nato and they'll make every excuse under the sun to defend the indefensible." And here he is on the independents: "We're voting for Redbridge council, not the UN security council. Who you choose to run your local council matters and the Redbridge independents represent a divisive brand of sectarian politics. I don't want to see Redbridge becoming a basket case or a rotten borough like Tower Hamlets."

Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah is a war surgeon who was accused of antisemitism and supporting violence & terrorism after speaking up for his patients in Gaza. After a full public hearing, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal found every allegation unproven. The gmc is now asking the High Court to review the decision. This case raises a question of fundamental importance for doctors and other regulated professions: When an independent specialist tribunal has heard all the evidence and found the allegations not proved, in what circumstances is it lawful for the regulator to overturn that decision?

Three tweets in a thread from Twitter TheDisabilityEnthusiast • 04/02/2021 Painting all people with Tourette's as awful people who use their condition as an excuse bad behavior does not help me as a Black person whose behavior is far more stigmatized. But y'all assume all touretters are white and therefore this is supposed to be allyship, right? TheDisabilityEnthusiast • 04/02/2021 • ... As a Black touretter, white people's offensive tics are the furthest thing from my mind when I think about how to tackle white supremacy. That is absolutely the least of my problems. And yes, I have had people tic the n word at me. I do not care. TheDisabilityEnthusiast • 04/02/2021 • ... And I'm not saying you can't have feelings about it, but you are responsible for how you respond because that affects Black touretters like me too. And honestly, if you're white or just non-black, you really have no excuse.
Josh Simons is the former director of Labour Together and a key advocate for the party's lurch to the right. Like Luke Akehurst, Simons was rewarded by Starmer's leadership by being selected for the safe Labour seat of Markenfield over the heads of the local party. Like many of his colleagues, Simons has attempted to criticise the Conservatives on immigration from the right, accusing them of not being tough enough' on border policy, and proposing they should put the 'smuggler gangs' on barges and 'ship the barge up to the north of Scotland for all I care. He has since apologised for these remarks.

Grateful for helpful thoughts from my chief life adviser.... Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message: From: Peter Mandelson Date: 7 November 2010 14:29:12 GMT To: Ce: Subject: Rio apartment as we discussed, 1 am considering a purchase of an apartment in Rio. It is in a block under construction in Ipanema. It is being re-sold off plan by the original purchaser. Asking price is 5.350.000 rials. I am told that this value will rise on construction and will follow Rio property prices up in coming years. I can forward property details to you in next few days but I would be grateful for advice from you on how HSBCPB in Rio can assist in helping me take the decision on this particular property and in a purchase. I also need some advice on tax implications in Brazil and UK. I am minded to place ownership, once secured, in Reinaldo's name and advice on this would also be welcome. Please let me know whether and how you can help on this.
