A valiant effort by Owen in downplaying a second leftwing project he joined having been taken over by crankism Of course, he's correct: the original Zionism did create a homeland at the expense of Palestinians. But the other basic point he's missing is that homeland exists and has done for 80 years
Owen Jones
@Owenjonesjourno

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people.
Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians".
It's really not hard to grasp this basic point! 10:32 pm -4Oct 2026 495K Views

Genuinely don’t know who this stuff is for. The antisemite cranks will hate you for it; everyone else will see you as a coward and a liar. Starmeresque triangulation.

As a biology equivalent I’d say: 1) birds are dinosaurs 2) fish aren’t a coherent category 3) organic agriculture is often worse for the environment than the alternative 4) selfish evolution explain cooperation very well 5) however many beetle species you think there are, there’s more

I have tried my hand at what I believe the critics refer to as a list poem
Inventory

A deck of cards, Monopoly,
A fairly recent dictionary,
A Bible, preferably King James',
A few assorted picture frames,
A set of Shakespeare's complete plays,
A minimum of two ashtrays,
A working Olivetti, and
The means to correspond by hand
(It's always good to have the choice -
These things affect one's writing voice).

Atlas, too big to shelve by far,
The other one, out in the car,
Your records and your stereo,
Address of everyone you know,
A compass and binoculars
And ornamental nut-crackars.
All these, plus landline telephone,
Are what all adults need to own

wrote a little poem on the airplane
Pseudo-Ennius
the author of at least three of the fragments formerly misattributed to Ennius
was ridiculed by his friends, fellow patricians at law. 
he took it in stride and with good humor,
as a man of society must. 
I don’t suppose my plays are aught but idle, 
he said at dinner once, in the company 
of his peers. 
I just like to keep my mind nimble, 
you know? Oh, we know! they said 
to their friend, the author 
whose 337 words persist, or remain,
or endure, it prevail, or, at any rate, 
are stlll out there, somewhere, right there
where he put them.

Reading One Hundred Years of Solitude for the first time and enjoying it immensely. I’ve always been put off by the title, imagining it to be dreary and melancholic. I had no idea it’s so… rollicking? It’s always a nice surprise when you read a Good Book and it’s… fun to read.

I never thought I’d feel protective of the England team but this visceral anti-England BSky discourse is pissing me off. Somehow England’s ethnically diverse team represents the arrogance of the Brexit right but France’s ethnically diverse team represents progressive values? Come on

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

Zack Polanski's baffling use of social media continues: he's liked this post, despite the fact he has admitted he should have been paying the council tax and is making arrangements to pay it. It's not a smear if it's true!
I live on a boat and don't pay council tax. The marina pays business tax, services are provided by private contractors and we have no individual postal address.

Don't believe everything you hear from low-tax lobbyists on corporate media, it was just another weak arsed attempt at a smear campaign.

It may be cope on my part, but I’d suggest that the people who are able to do this well will become more valuable rather than less as tech progresses. Not because of the skill itself but the skills it implies.

This statement is absolutely repulsive and Greens for Palestine are defending inexcusable conspiracist antisemitism. While they aren’t formally affiliated to the Greens it’s appalling that our deputy leader Mothin Ali is associated with them.

A question for football fans (from someone who doesn’t follow it at all): I’ve realised I know quite a lot of Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool fans, but I don’t think I know a single Man City or Chelsea fan. Is this random? Or does it say something immediately obvious about my age/demographics?

Zack Polanski has regularly used the Board of Deputies as a punching bag to appeal to his far left base. So if they're telling you that yes, the caricatures of him in certain papers are in fact wading "into centuries old anti-Jewish tropes", it's worth listening.
