i know that i rabbit on, but i can't get over the kindness, respect, and equality with which you are treated by workers in the NHS.
maybe quicker if you can afford the private sector - as they've starved the NHS, but equal and warm, no
its the cash thats the bottom line

An excellent essay on how mental health labels obscure the complexity of human beings and 'can become self-fulfilling spells' https://t.co/KcXxeIX8Wr

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

The story has turned into being about 2 bad boys, Mandy and Andy, and not about an elite group of men creating a den, cut-off from the real world where they could behave as they want - which was about corrupt finance and brutalising women.

@BBCRadio4 Good morning Team🤗 Nice programme this morning, but the piece about space and returning to the moon was marred (yet again, editors / producers!) by sexist language! PLEASE avoid 'mankind' & 'manning' and use proper inclusive language, as befits a flagship programme.

The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.

One of neoliberalism's most cunning successes has been its capacity to convince an entire generation that the route to a happier life comes via the individualistic hunt for new personal identity, rather than a collectivist fight for structural economic reform.

I enjoy clearing up the confusion and getting rid of the anxiety about relating theory to practice, so I am delighted to be able to offer this free webinar next Wednesday at 6pm: https://t.co/4zHmM6OnbC. Theory is an important basis for professionalism.

From my "Open letter to Met police chief: Let me tell you what ‘Globalise the intifada’ actually means":

Let me make a final point, Sir Mark Rowley. There will be more terror attacks on Jews in the West. However unjustified, however depraved, that is inevitable when a state claiming to represent Jews – and aided and abetted by western powers – keeps killing, maiming, jailing, torturing and humiliating peoples across the Middle East.

Such attacks won’t even necessarily come from an organised group, such as Islamic State or al-Qaeda. There will always be someone somewhere watching Israel kill and disfigure Muslim, Christian and Druze children – and see western capitals defend its right to do so – who will be so horrified and sickened by the spectacle that they will decide to improvise a form of vengeance.

And with Israel and every western politician telling them that there is no difference between the state of Israel and the Jewish people – that the two are identical – there will always be someone somewhere who decides to take out their fury on an easy Jewish target rather than a much harder Israeli military one.

However indefensible, there is nothing inexplicable about this.

Which means, given Israel’s criminality, the terror attacks will keep coming.

Which, in turn, means that there will keep being reasons for Israel and its apologists like Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis to demand that basic freedoms in the West be curtailed – that speech and protest on Palestine be criminalised – to ensure the safety of Jews.

However much you deny Palestinians and their supporters the right to march and chant against genocide and British collusion in it, the terror attacks will continue. Which means the erosion of basic rights will continue too. We are in a democratic death spiral – and all to protect Israel’s genocide from public opposition.

I suspect you know all this. And I also suspect you don’t care. Because your primary job is not public order or public safety but protecting the interests of the British establishment. And that establishment has decreed that Israel’s genocide has the UK’s full backing, and that no opposition will be tolerated.
