A real "As the veneer of democracy starts to fade" moment.

Mick P is right about this. The EU is irredeemably racist in its treatment of refugees and asylum seekers: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/16/eu-migration-pact-intended-neutralise-far-right-europe The overriding goal is, and has been for some time, to create and maintain...

He's a Zionist, mate. He sits on the board of an organisation that raises money to fund illegal settlements in the West Bank. Also segregation of potentially antagonistic groups is standard procedure, when maintaining public order. Gideon Falter went looking for aggro and the moment a police...

It's all Hammas' fault. Imagine... a world without Hammas: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/apr/21/middle-east-crisis-14-palestinians-killed-as-violence-flares-in-west-bank

OK, might as well put in a plug for my mate Keith: https://www.keithfrankish.com/open-university-interviews/# Here, interviewing Dan Dennett and David Chalmers, who represent opposite ends of the contemporary philosophical debate about consciousness. A good primer on the topic for anyone...

More smart politics from Sir Keir Starmer: Just doing whatever they need to do to get into power, and then...

Great film. I really want to explore Antonioni's other films. So far, I've only seen The Passenger in which Jack Nicholson's character assumes, on a whim, the identity of a dead arms dealer. Next up, Blow Up, Red Desert, Zabriskie Point...

Yes, a sad loss. A smart guy, and an excellent writer, which can't be said of many philosophers. I especially appreciated his determination to address as wide an audience as possible. His book about evolution, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, is superb. Despite being associated with Dawkins in the "new...

Bog-standard racism, from someone aligned with the Labour right. Black lives simply don't matter to these people.

I love Midsommar but you have to watch it to the very end before what the film's really about snaps into focus. The director has described it as the mother of all break-up movies. Amazing performance from Florence Pugh. The scene you're referring to is a bit gratuitous and is by far the most...

We just don't like murdering children and starving babies, that's all. Appreciate that might be a bit hard to get you head round. The vast majority of what you post on this thread is obfuscatory bullshit. You will not be missed.

Good article from Daniel Trilling about the EU's capitulation to the far-right on border policy: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/16/eu-migration-pact-intended-neutralise-far-right-europe The real danger is not ghouls like Braverman or fools like Truss. It's the moral...

They're not bothered. As long as they get their turn in "government", it's all good. You assume that the Labour right have any principles, other than the lust for power.

You're a ****ing moron. https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/palestinians-west-bank-2023-was-deadliest-year-record

Iran has the right to defend itself.
