@chinahand And thank you. I hadn't seen that, & can see why you printed it out.

[Peri Hankey @PeriHankey]

@chinahand I tend to use duckduckgo. But sometime it goes the other way and I can find something only on google (it can be good at finding phrases in obscure books).

@chinahand A duckduckgo search. 'Modified Vehicles Stephen James-Kerr Zmag Feb. 2003' finds this: https://t.co/StwWCVmMkJ

This is astonishing, @elonmusk. @CraigMurrayOrg has given us all the benefit of his extremely wide & deep experience, his sharp observation & his perceptive (if often controversial) analysis. If this is more than a glitch, it's blot, a shocking disgrace:

@Jonathan_K_Cook Have you seen this from 2004? It sets out a long-term plan for NATO to override Russian objections & "anchor Turkey, Ukraine & the Black Sea region as part of our community & as a platform from which to radiate stability & influence further east & south." https://t.co/c84TCFbzA0

One can argue about how serious is the neo-Nazi problem in Ukraine. But how in good faith can the Guardian claim, as it does here, that Ukraine is 'a country without any Nazis'?

It's a rewriting of the media's own historic coverage of Ukraine's neo-Nazi problem worthy of Stalin

"There is no evidence at this point that Russia was behind the sabotage," said one European official...No one doubts that the damage was deliberate...But even those with inside knowledge of the forensic details don’t conclusively tie Russia to the attack. https://t.co/fEvAckJX8L

An explosion asks awkward questions:

[Mick Wallace @wallacemick]

The attack on #NordStream was a terrible attack on European vital infrastructure, it was an act of Environmental Terrorism - A disastrous release of #Methane - Why is the #EU showing so little interest in finding out who did it.? Are they afraid that they won't like the answer..?

‘Absolutely shameless’: Ken Loach says the BBC helped ‘destroy’ Jeremy Corbyn. @guardian selected these words for me to share with this link, words that also describe how they themselves ran with the hounds that tore him & our hopes to small shreds: https://t.co/x9GJhDZRgM

In 2020, Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, a Jewish Socialist, had this to say:

“We are being no platformed, we are being cancelled, we are being denied the freedom to express legitimate points of view.”

She has now been expelled from @UKLabour. Shameful.

[John Rees @JohnWRees]

Amazing to see the capitalists lecturing the Tory party on the role of the capitalist state. The state’s role is to stabilise the destructive force of market competition so that it doesn’t wreck the system. The Tories seem to think it is to speed up the wrecking.

[Martin O'Neill @martin_oneill]

It may well be that these Tories will now be unable to show their faces in public, as the misery piles up around them through the choices they’ve made. This self-inflicted harm is tiny in comparison to the harm they’ve done to others.

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

Diligent work by Al Jazeera has made a serious case that something went wrong with media reporting of Corbyn era. Its investigation deserves a conscientious response. Instead near total omerta. In my new column for Middle East Eye I ask why the silence.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

If we really believe that Putin is so crazy and irrational that he's begun bombing his own stuff and sabotaging his own infrastructure, the strategy should logically be to simply stand back and let him bomb Russia into the Stone Age.

[Peri Hankey @PeriHankey]

@BhadraPunchline @coldwarsteve ... and sums it all up. @coldwarsteve, the only thing missing is a champagne-cork-mushroom-cloud to finish the scene

[Peri Hankey @PeriHankey]

Whodunnit? @guardian would rather not know, doesn't ask, doesn't want us to think, scarcely mentions any useful facts related to the sabotage attack on the Nord Stream pipelines. For that you need to read @MoonofA: https://t.co/SBs8gnVX6Y

[Peri Hankey @PeriHankey]

@BhadraPunchline Meanwhile, in another neck of the woods, the #UK's insane #Tories try to keep us all warm by lighting a bonfire of the currency. @coldwarsteve was there. He captured the scene: https://t.co/dokMFTPUfT
