Starmer finds his backbone as he stands up to Elon Musk “interfering in our politics”

UK PM Keir Starmer appears to have found his backbone as he strengthens his rhetoric towards divisive X owner Elon Musk, saying the billionaire: has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division. That is not who we are in Britain. Adding: When it comes to disgusting images on Grok, we take Grok on and fight, because that’s who we are as a country. Starmer is right, of course, which is a refreshing change of pace. However, condemnation alone achieves precious little. The government must urgently curb the influence that super-rich elites wield over…

Police say critique of non-Jewish Mirren’s politics ‘hate’ but ignore actual hate

The Met Police is investigating a clip of an anti-genocide protester criticising actor Helen Mirren’s Zionism as a hate crime. Mirren is a supporter of Israel and who wants it to last “for eternity”, but is not Jewish. Zionism is a political ideology – one that is intrinsically racist, ethno-supremacist and, as shown everywhere around Israel, murderous. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LPC (@landpalestine) Mirren is not ethnically Jewish and is on record describing herself as an atheist. Contrary to media and pro-Israel narratives, many Jews are not Zionist. In fact, within a few years a majority…

I am not a communist, but I am an anticapitalist As far as Communism goes, if you call a bunch of Capitalists selling off their country's assets for their own avaricious and political gain a "collapse", consider this: What about Great Depression, the worst systemic banking crisis of the 20th century, or the 2008 International Banking Crisis, whereby we are left paying the price, whilst the people who caused it still live it up in Kensington & Chelsea with their Oligarch mates. The fucking irony is that remaining so called Communist countries are now playing the Capitalist game better than the…

A Tale Of Two Cities

For those who do not dwell on the cruel and barbarous actions of the Stasi, what is now often forgotten is that the GDR also represented an effort to build a completely new and egalitarian society. Gender equality and equal pay for men and women were part of the GDR from the very beginning. The 1949 constitution was direct and very clear: “Men and women are equal.” A law introduced in 1950 ensured that women retained their rights after marriage and introduced financial support for mothers who devoted their time to looking after their children. This applied not only to married…

Howards End

62 hours of pure joy; for little more than a large whiskey. 62 hours of not wasting precious funds on booze, to be told; "Vapers Not Welcome". Is it any wonder that a record number of so called "pubs", closed last month? Truth is, there are hardly any real "boozers" left - ever since John Prescott declared "we are all middle class now", and 10 years after that introduced the ban on smoking as the ultimate coup de grace, so that people could take their kids into pubs (is that really wise in any case? We aint French after all). People,…

A Letter To The Editor (2007)

Dear Editor, As was to be expected, there has been much written in recent weeks concerning the recently imposed ban on smoking in public places, and I would like to take the opportunity through your excellent, unbiased and campaigning newspaper, to say how much my life, and the the lives of my friends and family have changed since it's overdue inception. Firstly, I no longer need to worry about dying of cancer, and have naturally cancelled my monthly donation to Cancer Research, as it is quite plainly no longer required. Hooray! I will live to be 100 years old and will…
