Yes. Playing with people's lives, as they do with vaccine disinformation in USA itself. They're a stain on humnity, an abomination .

It's called collapse. Early days, and unrecognisable in this specific context but it's collapse.

Johnson denied evidence of "successful" Russian interference. That one word gets him off the hook, as I'm sure he was aware when he used it.

It can't. It's not remotely ethical. It's American. And now, that's just saying the same thing.

Spain's social housing problems 👇 Does not matter how left wing the storks are, the right wing vultures will scavenge everything they can from as many as they can ... and the idea that person x or person y will be safe, and that includes most of us, is for the birds ... especially the vultures.

Still trying to juggle options for different forms of survival when all are needed but remain unachievable within the system which itself created the need. We must think outside our current social and cultural constraints and find a new way entirely ... but we're not capable of that. Sad for us.

Tropical cyclone in the Mediterranean. Not a "Medicane" nor a mini-hurricane but the real thing. And it's not finished yet. In the Med.

I dare say it will come. The bros have already started to impose RoboCop and Logan's Run on everyone and are increasingly unafraid to show it, and we've been living in Rollerball for a while now. Running Man isn't far away so bears will soon seem rather passé.

Yes, we hold the most exceptional hostage to the ordinary. I suggest Rubio looks up the meaning of those words to help him understand why humans have tended to hold more in respect than just exceptions. Or we did, until Americans came along. As to lecturing Athens on democracy, I just can't ...

conceivable response is that the PP can't even make the damn gesture. Of course they can't since it's their own policies that have seen a defenceless and sick octogenarian dragged out of her house, now dead, with protesting protectors teargassed. It's a race to the bottom now. And everywhere.

A proposal for a minute's silence for yesterday's death of 87yo Maricarmen, evicted by force in Madrid and generating ongoing national protests, has been rejected by the PP at regional and municipal levels in Madrid. Criticism of the PP has been rejected as gesture politics, to which the only ...

It's not that hard to understand. The poorest are a drain on "our" resources. "We" being "society" and "the poorest" being "outside society", I.e. not the rentier class. Until we accept social collapse has really started and that systemic change is inevitable and imperative, the tougher it will be.

Would have loved the hare to be included but it's great anyway to read the politicians are peeved because their big man heroes have been replaced by creatures which the vast majority will prefer. For money design, that's just priceless!😅

For me, it makes for the usual Tory hypocrisy and gaslighting. I'm afraid it is indeed the country it is, and it was the Tories who made it such.

Araucaria, aka John Galbraith Graham set the clue. It's apparently widely regarded as the best ever. It's: "Poetical scene with surprisingly chaste Lord Archer vegetating" (3, 3, 8, 12). Last four words form an anagram of The Old Vicarage Grantchester.

Yet more evidence for the Americans that the absence of immediate unconsidered kneejerk lethal reaction means weakness. I'm rather interested in the fact that they just ran. Cowards as well as idiots.

Broken record ... few realise how young the nation state is. We're tribal by nature and instinct. It's hard enough to maintain cohesion in a single tribe let alone a jamboree of several. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some current countries fail to survive let alone new ones form.

It's way beyond time for politicians to stop treating voters like kids promised sweets if they're good, which means voting aspirationally and vicariously in others' interests, and instead laid out a stall of reality and honesty. Sadly they're mainly going the other way. The public too, apparently.

A weekend of protests throughout the Canaries ... "your air BnB was my home". They have a vote on 29 November. As Sánchez says, "the time has come to decide what type of future you want".

That second "if" can't carry the weight of that post, sadly.

Scrap the environment agency, scrap affordable homes ... good to see the Tories have their fingers firmly on the pulse of public opinion. Or do they? Spain might find out first if the public really will vote en masse for the tigers who were always going to eat their faces to eat them now please.

An election specifically because the right want to shaft the poorfor inconceivable personal riches. Sánchez had no choice. Over to the people. It's always going to come down now to how much the public will really fight. True everywhere. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I agree. They've executed her. It didn't work but her sentence has been carried out. One might hope it would give them cause for reflection but I think everyone is aware by now that that's not only a forlorn hope in what America has become, it's simply impossible for them.

The Right have a tendency to be responsible for the majority of examples I'm seeing lately of the law of unintended consequences. It's about the only thing I can find to say about them that isn't unprintable.
