This commentary takes a somewhat contrary view from many, but it is a useful reminder that while the US has been great (honestly) in many ways, the darker side has resulted in crap and chaos.

Tisdall's swan song as the Observer gets dismantled?

How pathetic are the #DUP #TUV and their tame troll 🚮? It seems to have escaped their attention that they live in IRELAND, and this is our national language; it’s legal, it’s used in Courts, in Stormont; has been used by our MPs in House of Commons, and by various members of the royal family on State visits to Ireland - north and south.
No one is holding their heads in a fixed position or forcing them to read anything in Irish. All the signage will also be available in English, for those who cannot tell the difference between Beal Feriste and Belfast.
🚮 aka Jamie Bryson is trying to lodge legal objection against Irish Language signage with the courts.
We have so many problems, not least the reduction in PIPs and other benefits, the negative effects of the new ETA, the problems being caused by the American administration worldwide; and this kind of bigotry is what gets them up in the morning. Sigh

Only 4 days late BBC - Quakers condemn arrests of activists at meeting house

I'm tempted to write to our Merseyside PPC and ask if the Liverpool Quaker meeting house, and other gatherings to plan peaceful protests, will be safe from police invasions

An opinion piece. But IMHO (as goodd as this) we all know that Westminster Ministers typically only think of their own advantages - now and in the future. Others who will not benefit them are only of interest if it might effect their votes (and earning potential)

Labour's enablement of the far right

A decent aerticle (they normally are) from Mombiot. In aping Reform and yhr Tories, Labour are enabling them. Just as well when they promised 'change' they were not prepared to define what is meant. Trading Standards might have been after them, rather than just people who despise their policies.

If they get this right it should be dynamite. The US health 'care' system that (a) bankrupts more people than any other single factor in the country (b) employs more administrators tasked with turning down claims than healthcare professionals (c) results is one of the worst child mortality (and others) in the western world and (d) ties people into jobs. Just just a precis.

Reform voters should be sh*tting themselves.

"One of the biggest corporate donors to the populist Reform U.K. party has sold almost $2 million worth of transmitters, cockpit equipment, antennas and other sensitive technology to a major supplier of Moscow’s blacklisted state weapons agency, documents show"

Nigel Farage at an event for his populist Reform U.K. party in Britain last year. The British aerospace manufacturer H.R. Smith Group donated to the party soon after he was announced as Reform’s leader.

Cllr Gareth Kitchen
Responding to Reform’s local elections campaign event, Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay MP said:

“We know people are struggling after 14 years of Conservative austerity, now followed by the crushing disappointment of a new Labour government making more cuts to front line services. But Reform will never be the answer to the decline of the two old parties.

“Reform is a party designed to benefit the very richest and has no track record of delivering for people. Green councillors up and down the country are delivering real hope and real change in their communities every day.

“We are offering a hard-working and democratic alternative to the dead end, divisive choice of Reform and their impossible promises.”
