@matthewdmarsden The fetishisation of degrees instead of boosting the old polytechnics and technical colleges.

My favorite thing about "late stage capitalism" is that the term was invented in the 1920s

Any day now, guys! Any day capitalism will really end because of its internal contradictions! We've been saying this 150 years, but we're serious for reals this time!

@GuzKhanOfficial The Taliban definitely are bad

The Iraqis - agree here

Assad literally gassed his own people

The Houthi’s are pirates that brought back slavery

Iran funds Hamas and hangs people from cranes in public

I’m wide awake thank you

Sir John Moore was fatally wounded #OnThisDay

Born 17 Nov 1761 he was buried in the ramparts of Corunna;

'Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
O’er the grave where our hero we buried.'

@mcribbHistory I’ll never forget the CO at Sir John Moore ATR speaking to us all as new recruits and when explaining the history of who the barracks were named after stated:

‘He died in the finest manner possible. Fighting the French!’

@clownworld Those people don’t deserve happy marriages as they place an object over that which it symbolises

@reduxx FYI I started the music at the exact same time, his timing is just that off.

@BenedictSpence The woman is a head case and frankly it’s disgraceful that she’s an MP…which is incredible given the current bar is so low and yet she still falls below it.

Congratulations, Christina, you have just won the Battle of Cynocephalae.

It does not matter who Palestinians are or who they ever were. What matters is what Palestinians want to be or can ever become.

If #Israel disappears tomorrow and the Jews give the keys to Palestinians, what do you think will happen next? You think Palestine will be a country remotely as organized or advanced as Israel? The answer is a resounding no.

To imagine Free Palestine, look at the Houthis, at Hezbollah, at Iraq. Free Palestine will be a dumpster ruled by a bloody charlatan and his militia. Women will be forced to cover (almost the case now), women who engage in sex out of wedlock will be killed (honor crime). LGBTQ will be killed. Anyone with a different opinion about anything will be beaten, prisoned, or killed. In the summer, Hamas beat and tortured dozens of Gazans who protested poverty and hunger. A guy who criticized Mahmud Abbas died under torture. Hamas Sinwar's claim to fame is his first crime using his kufiyyah to strangle a Gazan he said was a collaborator with Israel (because why court and justice?).

There is not a single indication that Palestinians ever managed, or ever will, a semi-decent, quasi-functioning state. Their demand for the destruction of Israel and their whining for being everlasting victims is the only thing they can do, and they do it to deflect attention away from their own failure.

To be fair, not only Palestinians don't know how to build a state: The Lebanese, the Iraqis, the Syrians, the Iranians too do not know how to build or manage modern states. That's why they envy and hate Israel and blame its success for their failure.

@BladeoftheS You’re a fan of funding criminal gangs and endangering people crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world?

@UKDefJournal I heard that it floats on water.

Keep it under your hat.
