You really are ok with this aren’t you. What happened?

So where in this report does it say that 70% of the total dead are ‘males of combat age’?

Stay on track. Hamas evidently is not perpetrating a genocide.

Anyway, good to know I’m talking with someone who’s better informed on the matter than the ICC. Respect.

Where are your figures from? That’s certainly not what’s generally reported. 20+k children alone, up to Oct 25 (so considerably higher now). You’re good with that?

We TRIPLED our vote share. Second best byelection result in Green Party history. On a date that Labour chose to deliberately clash the same week as our conference. All with a brand new PM in previously a "safe" seat. Best response to all the absolute nonsense today? Join.greenparty.org.uk

Israel has dropped more than 223,000 metric tonnes of bombs on Gaza since Oct 2023. And they don’t have an iron dome.

And even then as a geographical entity it doesn’t have ‘rights’.

The body count ratio strongly suggests otherwise.

And we’re supposed to knowingly shrug at the winking use of quotation marks around the phrase. That Frank Zappa quote is spot on here. We live in a kayfabe democracy.

Isn’t that rather the point. Our government has been actively enabling that opportunity.

Corbynism with better packaging, and a Toynbee-esque underpinning to ensure that next to nothing vaguely likely to rock the corporate boat ever actually gets enacted. That’s a certainty.

Do you make distinction between harbouring genocidal feelings and enacting them? Just look at the body count for an answer.

I was teenager for much of the 70s, and have never recognised the ‘broken Britain’ version pedalled by the Thatcher apologists.

‘A purity test’. What the fuck does that mean? ‘Oh, it’s complex and the body count isn’t a real number’?

The two are made for each other. Both excel at sustaining murderous centrism whilst pretending to offer/want an alternative. And when the alternative actually materialises they quickly kick it to death. Barm cakes won’t save us!

Expect some further gentle noticing, some considerable way down the line, when the next Palentir leak/calamity/death from above hits some other poor people out of the blue.

I’ve a pseudo-psychological theory about successful people who went to private school. Deep down they know that in part they got where they got because of their privileged education. Anyone who ‘succeeds’ without that advantage really pisses them off at it brings to mind that knowledge.

Technically, it’s not been corrupted. It was designed like this from the outset and needs dismantling.

And every Labour MP who is not on the Israeli tit-for-tat sanctions list should hang their head in shame.

Every PLC’s real ‘mission statement’ is absolutely apparent: ‘maximise profit for shareholders’. Every other claim is a lie.

A new spin on Dunning Kruger. Not only do they not know as much as they think they know, they also assume most other people are just as dumb.

Centrism’s impulse to maintain reactionary, status quo, establishment positions makes it highly ideological.

Strangely there’s a good few new Lords saying similar.

Bush’s ‘analysis’ is truly ‘incredible’ - ie neither he nor we believe a word of it. These people have evidently never read/understood the most basic introductory GCSE media studies textbook.

There’s also the thing where they actually want the ‘intimidating muscle on show’ look, preferably in cosplay Sicherheitsdienst uniform, whereas the Labour types like the ‘sombre suit, shades and ear-piece, defending democracy from the shadows’ look.

I read it as a critique of our unequal society, with privilege built in to the establishment, as they happily pay themselves massive perks whilst pensioners go cold in winter.

grivelvis.bsky.social @grivelvis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
No one was starting at a cost basis, other than yourself. The OP made a comparison, which pointed to privilege and inequality. Your response was to criticise it for neglecting to factor in the cost of changing an undemocratic system. Now you’re saying it’s not about cost. Agreed.

grivelvis.bsky.social @grivelvis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Agreed. Tbf you started on the cost issue.

Electoral Reform Society say a smaller elected chamber would be cheaper.

I love the way the commentariat purport to express mild surprise, as if somehow this gets them off the hook of complicity in sustaining the gravy train they so love to ride on.
030
grivelvis.bsky.social @grivelvis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
What evidence do you have that a smaller elected second chamber would cost more? Currently it costs the taxpayer £104,000,000.

grivelvis.bsky.social @grivelvis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
£104,000,000 pa tax payers cost for House of Lords, with £21,000,000 alone on individual expenses and allowances. Very easy to create a new, genuinely representative, smaller elected chamber at much lower cost .

grivelvis.bsky.social @grivelvis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
The establishment’s unelected representatives have an important role to play in maintaining the status quo, so don’t begrudge them their perks.

It’s almost as if they’re serving their owner’s interests rather than those of the people of London. Weird.

Kayfabe managed democracy, with MSM ringmaster-hosts looking shocked and surprised. But you WILL watch the wrestling or expect an early morning knock at your door.

It’s a kayfabe ‘managed’ democracy and we WILL all watch the endless performance wrestling, hosted by the Marr, Davis et al tag team. And if you complain expect to go to terrorist jail.

And to add insult to injury, they’ll soon be writing sympathetic eulogies about the man once they’ve got their ‘incisive analysis’ of what went wrong without them knowing out of the way. Unbearable.

It’s properly fascistic, in the sense that no dissent from the line can ever be permitted, for fear that the whole edifice will vcrumble on contact with (a different) reality. The house that hasbara built.
