Beginning to wonder if Nigel Farage is 'establishment' after all. He has been sacked by the establishment, as is anyone who is inevitably going to take a complete tumble under the law, or lets the side down in other ways. Dropped by his fellows, Farage has now met his Loowater.

Trump targets Cuba: Bay of Pigs, round two?
The 1960s were an embarrassing time for the United States, militarily speaking. The utter failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba set the tone for the rest of the decade as the U.S.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Sarah Sackman: "The British governments position is clear, we want to see a de-escalation of this conflict" .. and that's why we're allowing the US to use British military bases to bomb Iran! Sackman & the govt are treating us like fools.

Some say Mamdani may implement Sharia Law. He might. At the heart of Sharia is social justice, welfare, fairness, charity and community cohesion. Most Muslim countries operate a hybrid of Sharia and civil law, are slowly reforming and abandoning unethical practices despite the west’s portrayal.

The socialist left has won power in New York. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won a majority - the first candidate to win more than 1 million votes since 1969. He did so despite an unrelenting racist smear campaign, vast sums spent by billionaires, and threats from Trump to strangle New York.

The UK has officially removed Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) an Al-Qaeda linked militia from its list of terrorist organisations. Meanwhile, the UK government has criminalised Palestine Action a non-violent movement that targets arms manufacturers supplying Israel labeling it a terrorist organisation.

In a society with a healthy respect for ethics and the rule of law, the scandal would not be that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are barred from their Aston Villa match, but that the UK hasn't cut all sporting ties with a genocidal apartheid state.
