Britain is in pieces—politically, economically, socially.

The country’s existential mess has deep roots, dating back to Thatcher. Under her catastrophic reign, market fundamentalism and privatisation took hold, society was dismantled, and the foundations of the welfare state were eroded.

That means that there is nothing Labour can do to prevent us from moving on. Unless it, too, changes, it is part of history now and has no role in the future.

The DUP are one party that have a cheek to accuse anyone else of lacking political maturity after they were told not to vote for Brexit and then voted for it, against their own interests.

Also, Sammy says 16 year olds will focus on one issue when they go to vote. A DUP MP said that with a straight face, every election is about the union for them.

Mi duda es ¿entra dentro de "adaptarse a NUESTRAS costumbres, la de los españolitos de bien que vienen de la ciudad de vacaciones al pueblo y deciden llevar a los perros sueltos por la calle (es un pueblo y younonau) sin respetar a lxs que vivimos aquí todo el año y tenemos las zonas de paseo habitual (normalmente donde no pasa nadie) y cuando pides por favor que "cojan al perrito que viene ladrando como un loco hacia el tuyo" te miran mal o te contestan y siguen sin hacerte ni puto caso??? Digo, serán esas costumbres o solo valen para los que Alpiste y NaziOkupa señalen como "los malos"???

Persistent Activity: Despite the U.S. demand, multiple Israeli officials told Newsweek that intelligence gathering continues. They claim it's a long-standing practice and vital for Israel’s national security.

Strategic Importance: Israeli officials argue that monitoring the U.S. is necessary to understand potential threats from Iran and other adversaries. They see the U.S. as a crucial intelligence source.

“Habitual” Practice: The article quotes sources describing the spying as a “habitual” practice, suggesting it's deeply ingrained in Israel's intelligence apparatus.
Biden Administration’s Concerns: The Biden administration is reportedly worried about the scope and nature of the surveillance, particularly regarding potential misuse of information.

No Change Expected: Despite the diplomatic exchange, sources indicate that Israel is unlikely to immediately cease its intelligence activities.

I feel that I am reaching a personal limit of my making any attempt to get my head around the inaction by governments as Gaza is flattened and the Palestinian people murdered in their tens of thousands. Do these politicians not see? Do they not have families of their own? What is being done is intolerable and inhuman and yet our leaders offer tacit (and often practical) support to the murderers. How can they turn a blind eye? How can anyone who has a shred of decency?

@Ryan
This is all DIRECTLY parallel to the wholesale destruction of our planet.

There is no line they won't cross. None. They will burn everything and everyone. Those who hold power and profit sacred above all else, don't have a single shred of decency or love.

Fortunately there aren't very many people like that-- the tricky part, is their lackeys. The people who may still have shreds of decency, but can only muster love for a very few people closest to them, and whose fears outweigh everything to the point they are willing to delude themselves and carry water for depraved planetwreckers just to curry favor in hopes of being spared the hell they're helping unleash on everyone else.

That's what we're up against. True monsters, and the morally bankrupt cowards who serve them.

Most of the so-called leaders who are supposedly normal, decent, upstanding citizens-- the faces on television, the smiling politicians and businesspeople and celebrities, successful and proud and so fond of brunch-- simply do NOT have functioning consciences.

#BBC #Scotland don’t usually report on any figures from Scotland which paint our nation in a good light, but now they’ve found a new tactic. If official figures show Scotland in a better light than England, then the accuracy of those figures must be questioned.
Even if they are right about this, notice how they don’t question figures which show Scotland in a bad light.

In my many decades long career I have met many people who are unable and will remain unable to function in society. These people are extremely dangerous. Barely trainable animals.
They come in all colors, sizes and shapes. Not all nightmares are locked away in cells. Many walk free. Some in my neighborhood and some in your neighborhood. You see them nightly in the local news.

Example: I call him the Mojo Man. He tried to burn up eight people at home and succeeded in destroying their home and all their possessions. WHY? Because a juvenile female would not talk to him at three in the morning. He did a couple years and released. He has been arrested and charged with violent crimes three times just this year. He is at the mental hospital every few months, off his meds and on a coroner's PC for 72 hrs. A good dose of Haldol injectable a bottle of Seroquel and Cogentin and off he goes. Booked in to the local jail until OR'ed out.

On meds he is a quiet zombie, off his meds a crazed murderous maniac.
He has no soul. Just a walking crazed corpse that don't know it is dead yet. This is the best he can expect, forever.

They are always classed as mentally ill and so never do significant time in prison. Released to maime, rape, and slay. Wash, rinse, repeat.
There is nothing humane about allowing them to walk free. There might be a time to consider euthanasia, however, I would not want that decision to make.

Once...
Prison was a break for society from the criminal. Prison was a punishment for the guilty.

Now...
Prison is a bus stop to the next victim. Three meals a day, satellite TV, gyms, free healthcare, breakfast in bed and laundry service.
The neighbors suck though. 🙄

They walk among you.
Stay strapped people.

“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.

It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. [...]

The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”

 Saving time, saving column space.

Saving time, saving column space.

Today I made a major improvement over at Roscoe's Story, my brother blog to this one. An improvement that will save me time and will make it easier for visitors to read.

I fill my days with maybe more prayers and devotions than many other old boys. Being mostly home bound with my arthritis, there's not a whole lot more I can do that is both constructive and edifying.

I have a daughter and a sister back home in Indiana, both of whom are curious about what I'm doing down here in Texas. How I'm taking care of myself. How I spend my time, etc. And I'm NOT a telephone person. Never have been. Ask anybody.

So to keep them informed, years ago I started my Roscoe's Story blog, listing and posting every day how I spend my time, etc.

Anyway, rather than list each individual prayer and the specific time I pray it every day, I now have a summary page that explains my prayer regimen. Linking to that summary every day will save me lots of time, and it will make for a much less cluttered blog page than has previously been the case.
