There’s loads of old Trots in British media too, they’re just ‘socially conservative’ neocons now though.

Exactly. Plus it’s a red meat political issue for the kind of reactionary gammons they’re exclusively chasing for votes now in the way that a private company isn’t (even though the RAF planes were owned by a hedge fund).

Not yet. It’ll be debated in the Lords later today & likely come into effect at Midnight on Friday night.

There’s also an online action meeting about next steps at 7pm UK time on Friday and if people are new to direct action there’s still a crash course online at 7pm UK time (but for international audiences) you can signup for tonight.

Here in the UK the Co-Op supermarket has dropped Israeli products entirely after it won a vote in their AGM. The banking & insurance side of the business already doesn’t do business with Israel.

Dino grabber emoji when?

I don’t know why the Dino grabber is wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat but this is really cute.

Exactly. Even here in the UK we recently agreed to meet Trump’s demand for 5% of GDP on military spending and stalking about building a war economy, but even then we’re doing it by fudging the budgets to include not only traditional military spending as per NATO request but things like ‘border security’ and domestic surveillance. Lots of which won’t be used in service of Ukraine or missions abroad, but repression at home.

The timeline of the process over the next few days:

There’s also an online action meeting at 7pm (UK time) this Friday about broader resistance next steps and direct action introduction workshops online every evening this week before the process is finalised.

I hope she chains herself to the gates of an alligator farm & live streams herself crying because the gators didn’t obey her commands.

Never. The espresso machine is already liberal + it’s a huge mechanism that actually only trickles down to a tiny few, carefully proportioned.

What would an aeropress be?

No. This is primarily the state desperately playing whac-a-mole against majority public sentiment. There’s basically a club of like 300-500 people in media/politics with a constituency of online racists who also hate their guts who support this stuff and just scream showers of shite about it 24/7.

It’s not gone down well. They’ve locked everything. But old contacts from music mag stuff who are turbo-libs have been in touch going “they should sell it now” before they devalue the brand too much but also because they think they’ve tanked the outsider status even if Glasto will obviously keep being hugely popular and popular.

It’s not though. The first two paragraphs are exactly what Id expect. The deliberate (but deliberately written by lawyers to avoid libel countersuits) conflation of antisemitism & hate speech (terms that from an institution can be used against them in court) is extremely deliberate.

Emily Eavis is sat on a £250m+ brand…

If she has to kill some of that credibility, even saw off some cultural importance, she can bail and make absurd amounts of money.

It’s not empty. It’s a confession for the future.

God, was it only five years ago. I feel like I’ve been here forever

You should. I’ve been saying they’re one of the best and most based bands for years. The tabloid press are gonna shit when they start digging into their catalogue.

Police are already investigating them and Kneecap on the (Israeli) government’s demand.

The state is gonna double down on the crackdowns and hope the lack of a venue for expression on this scale will help – (they’re already writing the Palestine Action proscription to be a backdoor for banning any pro-Palestinian imagery or speech if they want) – but anti-Israel sentiment has broken containment from just lefties and critical news watchers. I had older relatives message me this weekend saying that Israel “needs to stay out of our fucking business” and that if the government has a problem with people “saying stuff like this maybe they should just stop helping kill innocent people”.

Bob Vylan have always been top drawer so this was the least surprising thing ever, but very cool to see them getting the attention they deserve from music fans.

Boooo!
