Every day there’s a new sexual abuse scandal among celebrities & #BBC presenters: #Brand #Williams #Saville #HuwEdwards #Schofield …But no one wants to discuss celebrity culture or any other cultural aspect, just bad apples. Imagine if these were black or brown TV personalities!

Matthew Stallard’s article is excellent. Just to add that, as well as paying compensation to British slave owners, in 1872 Britain agreed to pay $15.5m (around $430m today) reparations to the USA for having built warships for the pro-slavery Confederacy.

1/4 With reparations in the news again, the assertion that Britain spent 2% of its GDP & half its naval budget suppressing slavery is being repeated again. IT’S NOT TRUE. I initially corrected the “mistake” here, yet it’s part of anti-reparative folklore:

Israel is an undeclared rogue ethnonationalist nuclear power, with an unknown stockpile of warheads never inspected. It's committing genocide and threatening to drag the world into nuclear catastrophe.
Object and Britain will ban your visa to speak at an academic conference.

‘It’s tantamount to Germany not apologising for the Holocaust.’
@aljhlester lays out the case for why the UK should offer reparations to countries affected by the slave trade.

Hasan Piker banned from entering Britain. Sally Rooney unable to sell her books here. Now Andreas Malm barred from the country.
All for speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.
This is Andy Burnham’s Britain.
An authoritarian Labour government that continues to arm a genocide while criminalising those who dare to oppose it.
Shame on them all.

In researching my new book, Requiem for Gaza, I discovered how Israel systematically targeted and killed the Palestinian professional class (such as doctors and journalists), an obvious genocidal tactic. This goal is symptomatic of Israel's larger vision for Gaza; to ethnically cleanse its population via genocide.

In my lifetime, I really don’t think it was this bad. The end point of neoliberalism. Reduce services, staffing, training till you have hollow company, then remove all your customer help or complaint lines and replace with AI. And then if something goes missing, deny and lie.

If capitalism worked as it's supporters claim then Evri wouldn't exist (in the UK it's the worst by far & that's a low bar). The fact Evri exists says that capitalism is not about good service but doing things as cheapskate & badly as they can get away with whilst charging lots

British Library staff are “furious” about the flagship institution’s plan to repurpose some of its reading rooms as paid-for workspaces, which “goes entirely against the British Library’s key function”, according to a union leader. Frances Jones reports [Link in comments]

Wow. Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s complicity in genocide has now surpassed 50k.
We are half way there to forcing a debate in Parliament.
Make it happen by signing the petition now: petition.parliament.uk/petit…
