11th century wild rebel. Fights Normans, sacks Peterborough, etc. All posts fictional. Low-quality humour and random comments on world affairs. Wülferhamptonian. Still radical after all these years.

It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight. 2/

Everybody knew Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum - the evidence was there - but people were too afraid of Farage’s mob to say it. So it’s good to see Burnham finally speaking the truth.

👏 Angela Rayner: "Nigel Farage's sugar daddies made their money in crypto, but there's nothing cryptic about their motives." ⚠️ "They know full well that a Reform government will act in their interests" 💷 "If Farage will do you a cameo for £70, just ask yourself what he'd do for £ 70 million."

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity?

After the cruel impact of changes to the skilled worker visa scheme, there’s another hostile action from the Home Office, this time directed at EU citizens granted right to remain after Brexit. These life shattering letters disrupt peoples’ lives built in the UK and are are utterly shameful.

Black headline
Vote t: EUcitizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given “in error”.

Black smaller text: after years of building lives in UK, potentially thousands of EU citizens could be told they have no right to remain.

Farage’s stunt to call a by-election to “let the people decide” his fate has completely backfired. All the major parties have refused to stand a candidate, as has Rupert Lowe’s fascist Restore. Lowe is no doubt relishing watching Farage wriggle on a hook.

Happy Father's Day. Here's an excerpt from a 2002 essay by my dad, Vincent Mosco, who passed away two years ago. It's about how tech bros ignore history and repeat it again and again. carleton.ca/ces/wp-conte...
One of the reasons why variations on “the end of” myths are so popular is because we collectively forget the myths that surround the history of technology. Cyberspace gurus encourage us to think that we have reached the end of history, the end of geography and the end of politics. Everything has changed. So we can apply the mute button to whatever has come before. After all, history has nothing to say to us because it knows nothing of cyberspace. But quite to the contrary, history is filled with myth-making about technology and has more to say than ever before about how we invent myths whenever we invent technology. We want to believe that our era is unique in transforming the world as we have known it. The end is preferred to more of the same; the transcendent to the routine; the sublime to the banal. So we not only view our age as revolutionary. We forget that others looked at earlier technologies in the same way.

If I was running the Green Party's comms I'd be pointing out that the heatwaves Britain and Europe are experiencing right now is the result of human-caused climate change, and things are bound to get a lot worse unless dramatic action is taken. Isn't that what the Green Party is all about?
