The UK Deputy Prime Minister declined to condemn the Israeli occupation's killing of Palestinians and their burial in mass graves, stating that the UK expects the "democratic government of Israel to investigate any allegations of misconduct."

Knowing that Boris Johnson likes to be called "Big dog" makes me regret paying any attention to politics whatsoever.

I have very little sympathy for the PM at the best of times…
But currently, he’s annoyed and tetchy that people keep speculating about the date of the election he refuses to call.
Here’s an idea for free: TELL US WHEN THE ELECTION WILL BE, and that will stop the speculation!

Here's my dismal prediction (keep that red ball away from me)
King Charles dies before the end of the year (this is legal to predict, do not send me to the chopping block)
A few people criticise the idea of another expensive state funeral so soon after Queen Elizabeth's expensive state funeral
Any reasonable arguments they make are ignored because 'he died of cancer you heartless monsters!'

The Mail on Sunday in printing shit shocker (sarcasm).
After the failure of the highly clipped Gideon Falter sh*t-stirring video to successfully weaponise accusations of antisemitism (see previous posts), and the Met Police's refusal to yield to the accompanying manufactured media outcry, I suspect some elements of the media are going after the Met Commissioner for not playing ball. But this headline may represent an interesting development. Even hopeful. It may, I hope, betray a level of desperation on the part of those who back Israel's genocide in Gaza (eg. the Government and its press controllers / attack dogs). They know that, as things stand, they're not winning the fight for public opinion, so they'll start picking fights left right and centre, including with other members of the 'establishment'.
And it's always good to see the various powers-that-be going at one another's throats.
FREE PALESTINE.

Say what you like about celebrity culture (and I really do), but right now as a queer (and disabled) trans person in the UK, there being some cis celebrities being loud in their support for us is really fucking valuable and gives me a lot of hope.
Above all they keep reminding me that the transphobia movement, however politically powerful and well-funded and however much they seem to be winning at the moment and fucking up legislation left it too late to get all or even most of the cis people on their side. That's a mistake that I hope eventually they will pay for. And celebrities being loudly allied has a real and powerful impact.
I'm thinking above all of David and Georgia Tennant, Neil Gaiman, Russell T Davies, Ncuti Gatwa, Rhianna Pratchett, Jameela Jamil, most of the cast of the HP films, etc., but very definitely not only them. <3 Less well-known people like the glorious archaeologist/historian/anatomist/author Dr Alice Roberts and the wonderful art historian/goth/author Dr Janina Ramirez are also beautifully loud about things when they can be, among so many others.
(And when Georgia Tennant sends love to us all on her Instagram account, damn it helps my brain. <3)
