This "former synagogue", unused since 2020, was bought earlier this year by the Ashaadibi Education Centre for use as a community centre and mosque. If this attack is racially or religiously motivated terrorism, why are the former owners being framed as the victim rather than the current owners?!

Suspected arson attack at former synagogue in east london

The east london central synagogue is tower Hamlets, formerly owned by the federation of kehillas, was sold on early 2026 to a Muslim organisation, the ashaadibi education and cultural centre.

It has been disused since 2020 and was to become a community centre and mosque

It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.

Israeli media reporting that the US and Israel have divided up the Iran attack thus: the US is targeting infrastructure, Israel is focussed on taking out Iran's leadership

This has been the core of it for decades: Thatcherites simply do not regard the left as a legit political bloc, so they do not view us as real people deserving of even basic respect. They see us as an unacceptable threat that must justly be crushed by force, bullshit and shenanigans.

Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.

Billionaire Peter Thiel says that America is similar to the Weimar Republic
"Liberalism has exhausted itself... Democracy, whatever it may be, has exhausted itself...
Therefore, we need to start talking far beyond the Overton window."

Could we perhaps spell out what “the unpopular decisions” are, because I’d suggest that if a government with a crushing majority can’t do it, then the decisions may simply be too unpopular. At least until the fash/tory lashup finally wins and revokes the entire postwar settlement at last.

James Ball @jamesrball.com • 30m
I think there's a the faintest glimmer of an optimistic take to be found here, which is: if ducking all the unpopular decisions that might actually start to fix things doesn't work, there's no reason not to just actually grasp the nettle and finally take some of those decisions.
Stephen Bush• @stephenkb... • 47m
And whoever comes after Starmer-Reeves is going to inherit two years of complete failure to grasp the nettle and do anything of a scale to fix the mess, because that might be unpopular (while ironically becoming increasingly unpopular).

Starmer didn't 'believe' a notorious political operator, who had already resigned 2x from Cabinet, after it was publicly known he was friends with Epstein, after being given a 100s-page dossier from MI5 detailing his continuing relationship & other malfeasances. In reality, he just didn't care.
