Three senior Reform figures were involved in those Channel 4 revelations we saw last night. Two have been kicked out. The third is Nigel Farage. Farage should be suspended while this matter is investigated. He has very serious questions to answer.

'This saga among sagas demonstrates clearly how our access laws allow for chancers like these to have a go at extorting Welsh people for access to what should be a given. People deserve to access beauty where they live... We deserve better than this gangsterism.' 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It appears that yet again someone has vandalised the Reform UK Office in Caerphilly. Someone has replaced the word "Reform" with "Fascism". So it now reads "Wales needs Fascism". Back in October someone also wrote "now you can f*** off home" after the party lost in the Caerphilly by-election.

If I may be so bold… If this thought from Rebecca Solnit speaks to you, you might be on board with my fun little cartoon book. Or at least, that is my humble goal, in the end. (As quoted at kottke.org/26/03/the-hi... )

Rebecca Solnit quoted on kottke.org,
“One of the great weaknesses of our era is that we get lone superhero movies that suggest that our big problems are solved by muscly guys in spandex, when actually the world mostly gets changed through collective effort. Thich Nhat Hanh said before he died a few years ago that the next Buddha will be the Sangha.
The Sangha, in Buddhist terminology, is the community of practitioners. It's this idea that we don't have to look for an individual, for a savior, for an Übermensch. I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war.”

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.
