Last Notes npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 the issue is we can’t just rejoin no matter how much most of us want to. I am confident a few states would veto until such times as we had political stability. With Farage potentially the next PM they won’t go there as he’d just stop any talks. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 these people never disappeared after WW2, they went underground. Whether European neo-Nazis or US KKK and alt right groups, they’ve flourished in the dark for years. It’s estimated there is 800 active neo Nazi groups in Europe, a good dozen in U.K. alone, and over 1600 active white suprematist groups in the USA, all with healthy membership. Add to that those who support but are not active members. Similar exists across Australia, Asia, in particular India and Japan. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 look at what Scotland has done with their ‘Hospital at home’ program to alleviate this. Health and social care are fully integrated here. An example is my elderly father in law. Once his medical condition was dealt with he was moved to a unit with occupation, physio and social care support to free up a clinical bed and get him and his home ‘discharge fit’. They had a full package in place for him within a week or so. The program is still in its infancy but it’s working npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 I’m not sure arrests happened elsewhere in the country. I attended an anti-genocide protest in Glasgow the other night in response to the flotilla being intercepted and activists captured. Plenty of Pro Palestine placards. Glasgow Police didn’t bother, even when we crowded the Central Station as the rain became torrential. They just asked us nicely to leave a space for passengers. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 I suspect Blair is behind this npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 Quite possibly, although I think she was a useful tool to the right of the party as she can connect with the general public. The Telegraph exposing this know her stepping down weakens Labour further and gives Reform (and the Tories) a boost. That front bench is uninspiring and most of the public would be unable to identify them. Those that are more high profile - Lammy, Reeves, Cooper and Streeting are generally disliked. This is bad news for Labour npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 my red line too - will never vote for a party not registered in Scotland and are a branch of the main party. They simply have no independent thought and don’t have Scotland’s interest at the core of their policies. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 Do this Gov actually think what this authoritarian behaviour is doing to their support? npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 nah, they’ll still tie themselves in knots and lose more support npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 the other aspect of this is almost every political scientist has said if Farage wins the next election the U.K. will break up. As someone who despises the Union I’d be happy as you can be if both Scotland and NI went our separate ways. Farage is an English nationalist - he’d probably be glad to see the back of us. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 I too think stagflation is more likely at this point. The USA has lost it trustworthiness, credibility and influence. Trump’s trying to take you right back, only the rest of us are moving forward and forging new trade partnerships and strengthening ties. I have no doubt BRICS will move towards replacing the US$ as the global reserve currency. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 friends of Israel is an Israeli lobby group and often referred to as the front door to the Israeli Embassy. There are fewer Tories than Labour associated with FoI. That says everything about Labour npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 are you a fkwit? npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 maybe they mean she’ll be doing all the hate speech 🤷🏼♀️ npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 if the Police submit this to COFPS I’d be very surprised if they took forward. What guidance has the Home Office issued as it’s causing confusion everywhere. This heavy handed policing is costing millions across the U.K. and all for nothing. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 The Gov will never ever be able to prevent peaceful protest against proscribed groups that should never have been proscribed. There are lots of brave people willing to make a stand. What’s more, it’s making global headlines and making a mockery of the Gov and that is a powerful optic. Cooper has been left looking weak, pathetic and bought, not the strong Home Secretary she thought she was projecting. Globally she is being mocked and laughed at. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 2/ If Ramsay and Chown win the Green leadership they will be focusing on the countryside brigade. If Polanski wins there will be more of a cross over but he’s said he’d work with Corbyn etc. Together the Greens and this new party could take 10% off the Labour Party and consign them to the bin with the Tories. That would be a good thing. / npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 I totally disagree. This really is basically a coalition of the independent MPs at WM. It brings them together which is more powerful than them being individuals. It was them who voted for Zarah to lead them - she just didn’t arbitrarily jump ship. She was never getting that Labour whip back. The Greens offer different policies. 1/ npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 organisers state fewer than 5 million turned out across the USA. Out of a population of 340 million that is a tiny 1.5%. You need sustained daily disruption by a meaningful chunk of the population over months to try shift the dial. From Europe it looks like you don’t know how to tackle this administration. With all the best will in the world making pretty posters and placards and patting yourselves on the back isn’t going to change a thing npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 no, Central funding for councils is so crap that Reform will slash some local services and use the central funding to improve other services - the question is what services will be slashed and what improved and will the people of Lancashire benefit? Reform are most certainly not my cup of tea, but they’ll either come out of this looking like incompetent idiots with people suffering or have found a formula to run councils better (doubtful) npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 ah, but the cowardness makes them short sighted. Not that many years ago a good number of the top twenty most deprived regions in the UK were in Scotland. The Scottish Gov stepped in to mitigated against the two child cap and now there are no areas in the top 20. The Scottish Government has stated that tackling child poverty is a national mission. npub16c8x2gptkmhtp33tltyyk788lyde5n4nlr0w4gzs3lna0ah03ygqrnkqzv Linda 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹 Biden is very much complicit by providing the funding and arms. He is the enabler. He has broken both Federal and Intl Law. Should key Israeli Gov and IDF officials ever be charged with genocidal acts, Biden and Blinken will be next on the list. The law is clear on that. You cannot point the finger at Trump for today’s actions while Biden is shovelling money and arms into Israel as fast as he can. That is risible.
