No2NATO No2War condemns in the strongest possible terms the arbitrary detention of Bill and Patrick from The Truth and Neutrality Alliance (Ireland) at London Stansted Airport yesterday before they could attend the Stop Zelensky demonstration. This after the same Border Security Act was used to detain George Galloway, leader of the Workers Party; the general secretary of the Workers Party and Jesse Winney, national organiser for No2NATO.
It is clear this Act is being used and abused to harass and intimidate political dissidents of the Atlanticist foreign policy hegemony. More must be done to build a movement to have this Act repealed which does nothing to strengthen national security only to bully political dissidents and impede our right to protest.
Jesse, Bill and Patrick are Irish nationals and have had UK border police inform the Irish consulate about their arbitrary detention. A letter will be drafted to the Irish ambassador to see what the Irish government can do to protest against the UK’s infringement on the human rights of Irish citizens. Watch this space.

Economists have rediscovered the falling rate of profit and overaccumulation.
They also dressed up the paper in AI hysteria because its illegal to talk about anything else.

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
@Leannenist Bratislava region has become quite booj/gentrified in recent decade and is significantly wealthier than Ayreshire, Scotland. I visit both regions annualy.
