Why there are no reporters in Europe like him any more?
They all have turned into cowards at best or genocide supporters at worst. The disgusting dirty and disgusting atmosphere created by Israeli supporters and right wing media owners not to forget the sold out politicians and indifferent public (on top of racism and islamophobia) have created a vaccume of strong, knowledgeable and brave reporters who are not afraid of telling the truth.
With Robert Fisk gone, The independent have also turned into a echo chamber of pro Israeli voices. German and Swedish media are not even worth reading any more and I get better news from Israeli media criticizing the fascist regime of Netanyahu than any of the so called progressives and liberals in those countries.
Can #UK#academics explain these spammy emails from publication agencies who want to feature my academic articles? I've been told this this a scam, but I'm not sure how -- do they charge money to do this? Is this related to the dreaded #REF?
As far as I'm concerned, if some publication wants to write a feature based on one of my publications... go for it. You don't need to contact me about it.
"As long as Israel is killing Palestinian civilians in apparent contravention of international law, the UK. government has a responsibility to stop selling it arms."
Pollster Rob Ford, some thoughts:
"Rishi Sunak’s net satisfaction rating of -53 is the worst recorded by MORI one month out from an election in all of the elections they have covered since 1979 - worse than Gordon Brown in 2010 (-36), John Major in 1997 (-46) or James Callaghan in 1979 (-33).
"The net rating of the Sunak government is, at -71, the worst approval of any British government MORI have asked about on the brink of an election...
"More than two thirds of British voters tell MORI the government doesn’t deserve to be re-elected next month, nearly three quarters say it is time for a change, and four fifths say the government has done a bad job. All of these figures are now at the highest level since Sunak took office...
"While a miracle of late persuasion cannot be ruled out, at present the most relevant question for Conservative MPs isn’t “can we win?” but rather “can any of us survive?”"
#UK election 2024: What the manifestos say on energy and #ClimateChange
"With the exception of climate-sceptic Reform, all major political parties continue to back the UK’s net-zero climate goal. Heading into the election, however, they have talked about the target in very different ways, with the Conservatives focusing on costs and Labour on benefits."
Sat working at home, when the squawking of Magpie children disputed my train of thought. I looked out the window to see the mother Magpie flying bank and forth from our mealworm feeder delivering lunch to its Juveniles on the fence outside the front of the house.
#UK / Labour pledges to recognise Palestinian state as part of peace process
[…] "Palestinian statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people," said Labour's election manifesto - the collection of policies it gott by would enact if it forms the next government.
[…] "We are committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to a renewed peace process which results in a two-state solution with a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state."
The data shows that the UK government continued authorizing the export of military and non-military goods to Israel during this period, despite the ongoing conflict and human rights violations against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories.
While the document does not provide specifics on the types of military equipment licensed, it notes examples like components for military aircraft, vehicles, naval vessels, helicopters, ammunition, and body armor.
Campaign groups argue this makes the UK complicit in enabling Israeli actions that may constitute war crimes and violations of international law. However, the UK insists its export decisions are consistent with legal advice.

🇬🇧 A Tory social media campaign suggests the party fears a #Labour landslide in the upcoming general election, as minister #GrantShapps says they are fighting to avoid a #Labour "supermajority"
The Conservatives' latest advertising campaign appears to target potential #Reform voters, warning them that the Tories could be reduced to just 57 seats in the next parliament, even if #Reform picked up no seats ⏩
↪ #UK#politics is - really - designed to swing from left to right like a metronome. Too much in one direction is destabilising for the #British public and can lead to extremists becoming popular - as we have with #Reform, or as I call #putin's party, Deform.
