Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the head of the security service Shin Bet to prosecute the IDF for harming the security of Israel by bombing Gaza without any care for civilian casualties. Oh. Wrong. He wants to prosecute the makers of a film that revealed it. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

7 yrs ago, a neo Nazi attacked a synagogue in Halle, Sachsen-Anhalt, where the AfD recently won state elections. Today, the AfD state chair, an extremist even in his own party, arrived to attend the memorial event. The Union of Jewish Students in Germany formed a human chain and blocked him.

‘Keminaissance’ is pure wishful thinking on the part of a rightwing media that furiously peddled pro-Farage propaganda until it became embarrassingly obvious that he was a raging liability and they needed to go back to the Tories as their weapon of choice.

The UK-EU relationship is like a bad rom-com. The UK broke up with the EU. The EU was shocked and sad about it. But soon realized there was a lot about the UK that was annoying (opt outs, hostility to federalism, America’s poodle) and they moved on. 1/2

There was too much emphasis, in the early #BBCNews reporting of the Fairford story today, on an anonymous farmer who was not in a position to have an accurate overview of what might have been going on beyond the scenes that she saw. However compelling, the anecdotal is seldom the full picture.

These culture wars about authors. In my teenage years my favourite authors were George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, and PG Wodehouse. I just couldn’t get enough of their books. But their political views could hardly have been more disparate.

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’. Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.
