@mrjamesob.bsky.social put your phone down and read this. I've read books you've recommended including your own - so get on with it!

Utterly compelling and enlightening read. And put me in mind of Zola's Rougon-Macquart cycle - so many comparisons on many levels, individual and socio-economic.

Who will lead the charge on making our landscapes more resilient to effects of climate change? 🤔

Saw this in Saturday's Guardian. Worth considering perhaps? (I know there's a character limit 😊)

Give it a rest! I'm still reading this hair-raising, toe-curling analysis of private equity aka asset-stripping! Did you?!

My thoughts have also turned back to the Daniel Morgan story.

Did some homework for our pathetic media - the same media that bloated on & on when SKS was given specs and clothing. guidetoprocedure.parliament.uk/articles/xl0...

These policies?

If I recall correctly Israel dragged its feet on implementation and Arafat lost confidence in their sincerity. Then Rabin was assassinated thus allowing for a vote which put Netanyahu in charge.

The intention of the legislation on such licensing.

Julia @toddlenrant.bsky.social · 30/10/2025
Legislation on selective licensing on rented properties was intended for run down areas of poor housing and living conditions. Last time I looked Dulwich cannot be described as such.

An absolutely must-read for us all but especially our politicians! A slim volume at 126pp!

Watching Trump dismantle the US it seems that Alexander Dugin's plan is well under way. Thanks to Nafeez Ahmed's detailed and comprehensive history of 100 years of Nazi ideology.

Just finished chapter on Thiel's network - Cambridge, Charles Vaughan, Toby Young et al. Next, eugenics 😱 Astounding invasion and destruction of our country and British values.

He is the culmination of decades of far right Nazi ideology-motivated billionaire groups.

Julia @toddlenrant.bsky.social · 23/03/2025
And not confined to US but bubbling away in Europe too. Links to Yarvin et al connect with Nazi groups that persisted since early 20th century. Recommend read

The same narratives are played out in medieval love debate poetry, where those women who decline a potential lover are defamed. A dangerous status for women in middle ages. Interesting, accessible read 👇

I imagine a few billionaires (but not all) would be very upset if we all read this and actively pursued it.

Yes, he's one of several who have been working for decades (since WW2) to revive Nazi ideology and eugenics.
