Never again must mean never again for anyone. Humanity, not hierarchy. Peace, not power. And truth—even when it’s uncomfortable.

Tom Jarman @tomajar.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Yes. However it is an excellent piece by Bowen, and so important that the BBC says it clearly. His piece doesn't sit on the fence, hide behind 'balance' but gives the facts, with a very clear conclusion. We cannot sit back and ignore, and the BBC must provide clarity.

Too optimistic? But I like the advice: Trump’s undermining of democracy is a deliberate scheme to build an autocracy... Early opposition is important... A collective defense works best... Appeasement is seen by bullies as weakness, an invitation to demand more. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Obvs! Why can't a Labour Government deliver on these glaringly obvious fundamentals for a fair and healthy UK?

Letter in Times today

Text:

International law
Sir, Lord Hermer’s warning is not an insult but a timely reminder from legal history (news, May 30). His reference to Carl Schmitt was not a personal comparison, but a caution against a dangerous and corrosive doctrine: that state power may override law when convenient. That principle helped dismantle constitutional safeguards in interwar Germany and must be scrutinised wherever it resurfaces. The European Convention on Human Rights was an integral part of Churchill’s postwar vision. To treat it now as a mere obstacle to immigration policy is to forget why it was created: to ensure that governments, including our own, remain ultimately subject to a substantive vision of the law. The real divide is not between Remainers and Leavers, or Strasbourg and Westminster, but between those who believe in government under law and those who do not.

In working class areas like Stonehouse, Green support is growing strongly With people disillusioned with Labour it's going to be Green or Reform that they choose And only one of those is a democratic party

I am standing for the Green Party in the #Stonehouse Division of #Gloucestershire county council - Exciting, feel very winnable. Promoted by Rob Brookes on behalf of Tom Jarman and Stroud District Green Party, both c/o 17 Great George St, Bristol BS1 5QT.

How can we stand by and not feel personal guilt? How can we not demand our Government acts, that the world acts to stop and care. A deeply, tragically moving story. How can we?

Nick Housden - the ex Tory incumbent in Stonehouse, has declared he is standing as an independent. So will we see tories, reform and Nick all standing? Think I'd choose change over all that nonsense

Tom Jarman @tomajar.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

Now standing as an independent - odd when other ex Tories are defecting to Reform. Odd

With you completely Dale. Can you not align to Green Party - it does seem to fit you better than current Labour? Wealth tax, investment in renewables, no more runways etc are central to their policies.

Still this nonsense goes on. Picture below from early days XR forming a 'waste inspectors blockade' at the Glos incinerator. Good luck guys, we need no more of these monstrosities: #communityr4c

So what are Greens getting wrong? We're just not interesting enough to be talked about? We're just too much like good news, and journalists want trouble? Think we need some headline grabbers ... ie controversial, interesting, worth talking about

The Doom Loop (see here) explains the problem - we need a solution. Reform et al seem to some like the solution, but are very much part of the every declining doom loop.

It has always been the case that you could say Germany learnt from WW2, children were brought up to understand. A proud, mature nation that understood you must not oppress for the sake of 'mein volk' as they had said at the time. Genocide cannot be ignored just because it is convenient
