For years, Stephen Lennon has asked supporters to trust him and fund him. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation, made with HOPE not hate, has raised serious questions about his finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/199860/...

You are engaging in an utterly irrelevant argument. I’m not denying the right of Israel to exist and I believe it’s true that most Jewish people exist. Sadly the machinery of the state of Israel is engaged in a Genocide.

I’m happy to qualify this as Israeli Zionism. I expect every decent thinking human to reject an ideology that treats Palestinians as less than human, but it’s regularly expressed by Israeli politicians. It’s enacted by the IDF and settlers on a daily basis.

Peter Clee @peterlclee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
You are attempting to describe an original (contested) ideology. We are now living with the consequences of what Zionism has become. Some Jews reject Zionism altogether as an anathema to Judaism. What is was, or was intended to be is irrelevant to the many tens of thousands of dead Palestinians.

Peter Clee @peterlclee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
They relish the violence BECAUSE the racist belief system called ZIONISM tells them that they are chosen and special and that no one else matters. They commit the violence BECAUSE they know that the ZIONIST IMPERIAL PROJECT called Israel will protect them from the consequences.

Workers may gain modest increases in pay, but as with the Industrial Revolution, the costs to personal freedom will be massive. Moreover, the immediate costs to those humans who are not needed, will be absolutely crushing. Hence the need to build a surveillance and violent policing regime.

Odd that this has happened without the Police being aware of it and even odder that the Police are not doing their job to deal with a major public order offence. Contrast that with the very aggressive Policing of climate activists or pro Palestine demonstrations. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Analysis from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit adds to concerns that national newspapers are failing to link this summer's extreme weather to climate change and the net-zero policies necessary to mitigate its drastic effects.

4% - dank, fetid horrors from the icy depths below (a black slug like creature with a single eyestalk reading a book)
15% - cold, lifeless bones possessed by a corrupt sorcery (a skeleton reading a book)
11% - frigid and malevolent ectoplasmic vapours (a shapeless apparition reading a book)
48% - regular readers happy to away from the heatwave
