It's not just that we had two wasted years under Keir Starmer - years in which, with a vast majority and quite a lot of goodwill - he could have turned this country around. On crucial issues, we had two years of spiralling backwards, towards a very dark place. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The terrorists had infiltrated the annual Labour Party conference in Liverpool. Thankfully, steadfast police officers discovered old ladies with deadly weapons such as signs with unapproved words. They have been dragged off to cells and now face up to 14 years in prison. Isn't this brilliant?

We have all seen what the tech-bros' 'specialised minds' are like, they are minds that show contempt for humanity & a lack of respect & concern for other people. They are 'off-putting' not because they are uniquely correct but because they are selfish, eugenics-obsessed, sociopaths.

I cannot imagine what this does to the doctors, midwives and nurses working with these babies, let alone the parents. Maternal health and neonatal care are vital elements of a society's continued survival. Continuing to act in a way that obliterates them is genocidal.

"In March, the UN's humanitarian agency OCHA said that one in three pregnancies in Gaza were high-risk and 70 percent of newborns were premature or underweight."

""Against this background, rates of miscarriage, stillbirth, low-birthweight infants and congenital defects have increased," the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry said."

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries. We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Because I am a philosopher, & thus can know no peace, I just had to stop writing to wonder whether I meant chance or randomness. Is there a difference? What is it? Lo and behold, there's a whole SEP entry on the topic, because of course there is: plato.stanford.edu/entries/chan...
