Exactly. Same in the UK. Pro-lifers on the right - eg Danny Kruger - noisily profess their anti-abortion views, but invariably support exactly those policies that result in slow post-natal ones. Except for cancer, all categories of death in childhood have a social gradient. Child poverty is deadly.

And you can’t read a book when you are cleaning out the fridge

I feel a bit the same! But I recommend this podcast. It’s both easy to listen to (the two interviewers are funny and likeable) and academic in its approach And I really appreciate how they get the absolute up-to-the-minute expert on whatever topic is under scrutiny every episode.

I’m not convinced the relationship between the US & Israel is that simple or unequal. But we’re certainly supporting US big business in an embarrassingly slavish manner. Tories & Labour are indistinguishable now on this. I know Putin wanted Brexit but it’s done the US favours too Not us though

The @empirepoduk.bsky.social covers this comprehensively in their series on Palestine with a range of different experts from ancient times to now. (The pod also covers the Bronze Age collapse, I think in a different series. Can’t remember. But very fascinating)

Surely we are subservient to both countries but in different ways? Also the US dances to Israel’s tune (for its ME headquarters), with near unequivocal support for Zionism in both major parties In the GOP there’s a weird combination of rapture philosemitism/Zionism & good-old-fashioned Jew hatred

And he never sued her for libel!

He looks old, that’s all Age is mutilating

Extraordinary how some sort of mental illness or decline is invariably rolled out to excuse horrible men being horrible He may have dementia - I don’t know & nor do you - but imho he has been a right wing shit for years & a misogynist for ever - you really should listen to Miriam Margolyes on him

Fuck off you warmongering knob! Instead use the engineering expertise to invest in sustainable green energy, which will create jobs and make us more secure by fighting climate catastrophe. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He’s a buffoon

Wrong 7,115,063 CONFIRMED Covid -induced deaths reported worldwide (updated 2026) BUT Taking into account COVID-induced deaths via excess deaths (because many cases will not have been confirmed) the 95% confidence interval suggests the pandemic caused between 19.1 & 36 million deaths

Yes. How?

#Germany calling out #Jews for being the wrong kind of Jew, or for not being Jewish enough, seems the ultimate irony to me. Just effing grim.

It’s eugenics These people sincerely believe there are too many people in the world and need culling

No. I’ve come to that conclusion. He always answers your points as if you’re intellectually challenged. Irritating.

He blocked you? Ffs I’ve been in a discussion with him before. He’s never wrong about anything and is extremely superior

Do we? More than other parts of Europe? English scholarship has always worshipped the Romans in a rather weird way - I’ve always assumed that arose out of a need to denigrate the Iron Age Celtic world Rome destroyed We certainly underplay the misogyny & patriarchy of both Celtic women fared better!
