Canada is on the fast track to becoming part of the EU. While the UK is falling apart largely because a Labour government, despite a massive majority and massive public support for rejoining the EU, is too concerned with pandering to a minority of fascist bigots who'll never vote Labour anyway

If Burnham doesn't urgently grasp the need to start the process of rejoining the EU and stop incipient fascism in the guise of Reform/Restore, he's going to end up losing the Celtic nations and thus the UK sooner than he might think. England will then end up an isolated MAGA-style hellhole

Pointers for the UK government: - Terrorists: people who support genocide; people in uniforms and masks who intimidate migrants; people who threaten those who save lives in the RNLI; racist fascists generally - Not terrorists: people who protest genocide and climate change

What's happening in the West Bank, Gaza etc isn't about Jews or antisemitism (a term denuded of force by Israel). It's about genocide and ethnic cleansing. It doesn't matter who does it to whom or why they think they're entitled to do it. It's plain evil, a crime against humanity, and must be ended

Are Bezos, who's trying to buy up Liverpool FC, and Infantino, who's trying to sell off world football, the same person? We should be told

Has anyone else noticed that almost everything described as "un-American" is in fact very American?

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
The answer to all this Americanisation is to create a new sport. Ad breaks in each half, 30m half times, peace prizes, goals twice the size for more scoring, US always wins. It can be called "soccer". The rest of the world can then get on with playing football

Does anyone else find Israel apologists shrill and insufferable when their incoherent arguments are challenged?

I'm very close to blocking any mention of the word 'soccer'. It seems the prefix to 'mom' that I thought meant 'suburban' or 'middle class' is actually what people in countries where they play games with hands and ovals call football

Why does the nepo Nazi Musk, who's non-indigenous to either continent he's lived in, keep going on about immigration in Europe, a continent that's whiter than a Klansman's wet dream?

I'm told "antisemitic" is a misnomer for hating Jews (Semitic people being flawed race theory). So on no a/c can it be extended to hating other people commonly seen as Semitic (no such thing, doncha know), eg Palestinians, Lebanese. But it can be extended to opposing Israel's atrocities against them

It's exhausting arguing with nitpicking/whataboutery apologists for Starmer's complicity in genocide. Gonna just block on sight in future

When you think about it, what's had the worst impact on UK politics and society is not Islam but the malevolent influence of "Judeo-Christian" countries, namely the US, Israel and Russia

Why is it called the Iran war and not the US/Israel war? Presumably because the US/Israel combo attack so many countries, US/Israel war wouldn't be specific enough

I'm going to start muting people who still whinge about people not voting for Kamala Harris. It's done. The lesson to be learnt is don't be shit and rely on the other lot being shitter. Labour in the UK haven't learnt it and risk letting in fascism there too, unless the Greens can save the day

As perpetrators of an illegal war of aggression, in gross violation of international law, I presume Israel will be slung out of Eurovision and the US from the World Cup, with all games in the US urgently relocated

You could categorise the main UK parties as follows: Tories - nasty party Labour - new nasty party Reform - really very nasty party Greens - hope party Lib Dems - wishy-washy hope party Your Party - go home old man

Just as hating Jews for being Jewish is not ok because of Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, Israel's atrocities are not ok because the Palestinians' cause is supported by some shit regimes as well as by most decent people. This should be obvious

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
It seems the term "antisemitic" can be stretched to mean anyone who opposes Israel's atrocities but not anyone who endorses the annihilation of Palestinians, a Semitic people if ever there was one. Because reasons. And if you callenge this, you're, er, antisemitic

In the face of Trump, the UK and EU, in both their interests, should just pretend Brexit never happened. The perfect "reset". Nothing much would need to change other than things easing back to the sensible, working normality of trade, freedoms, movement and interaction that existed previously

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 02/01/2026
Some here claim Jews needn't even follow Judaism or have a link to Palestine for 2,000 years to be fully entitled to it. But the longstanding indigenous Semitic people (if ever there was one) have no such rights and shouldn't even be considered Palestinian. And to suggest otherwise is antisemitic!

On the traditional birthday of a Palestinian raised in Judaism, who gave rise to Christianity, greatly influenced Islam, and whose moral teachings on care for others echo the best in human ethical philosophy across the ages and throughout the world... Merry Christmas one and all! 🧑‍🎄

Apart from Brexit, little threatens UK security, rights and freedoms more than joining Russia and Belarus as the only European states not in the ECHR. Instead of banning opposers of genocide, Labour should pass a law proscribing as terrorists any party or individual that advocates leaving the ECHR

Am I the only one who thinks that this Charlie Kirk guy who was killed by one of the guns he loved so much looks a bit like Butt-Head, while his killer looks like Lee Harvey Oswald?

A large proportion of Americans are so intellectually challenged and ethically depraved that they can vote for a child raping authoritarian moron like Trump, twice! Yet they can all have as many lethal guns as they like. Is anyone surprised why there are so many senseless shootings in the US?

With all the debate in the US about putting the Ten Commandments everywhere, I'm thinking what if they were updated in a way not even decent Christians, or those of other faiths or none, could object to? My suggestions follow. /ctd

The only way Trump - like Putin, Netanyahu, Erdoğan - can escape reckoning for his egregious crimes is to cling to power indefinitely by any means, entailing total subversion of all democratic and constitutional norms. Has this fully dawned on the US public yet?

When it finally emerges that, on top of his other crimes, Trump is an arch-pedo on the scale of Jimmy Savile, will Farage be rushing off to the US to comfort his orange mate in his hour of greatest need? As for Trump's UK state visit, it would be more apt for nonce Andrew to be doing the honours

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 09/07/2025
There seems to be a preponderance of pro-Israeli posters saying things like "There's no Palestine" in attempting to defend, deflect or deny Israel's genocide of Palestinians. If there were no state of Israel, as there wasn't pre-1948, would that equally justify or negate the Nazis' genocide of Jews?
031
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Perhaps the BBC's platforming of Farage and his fascism is because, the Tories having been written off, the establishment fears a post-Starmer centre-left that might well: - undo Brexit (threatening tax havens) - tax wealth properly to help the vulnerable - sanction Israel for its genocide
042
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Designating Palestine Action as terrorists for opposing genocide is Labour's version of the Tories designating Rwanda a safe country for deportation. A law cannot be respected if it is not grounded in truth, justice and decency. As St Augustine said, lex inusta non est lex (an unjust law is no law)

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 30/06/2025
Starmer is dead man walking, having made all the wrong moral choices - from bashing the weak to enabling genocide. If Labour MPs don't get rid of him fast, they risk plunging the UK into Reform fascism, complete with all the horrors now playing out under Farage's hero Trump in the US
252
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 16/06/2025
Starmer has a clear choice to make in the Middle East. Cut Israel loose to face the consequences of its genocidal atrocities. Or allow the UK to be dragged headlong into a horrendous regional conflict where there's no good outcome. Is Starmer capable of making the right decision for once?

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 15/06/2025
@bambosmp.bsky.social are you ever going to have the balls to raise the issue of the endangerment of Cyprus and its people as a result of Starmer's abuse of the bases the UK carved out of the island to support an out of control, warmongering, genocidal Israel?
