France, Italy and Greece allowed the plane of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fly over their airspace en route to the United States on 7 July, raising questions about their obligations under international law.
Netayahu was issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.

As Stewart Lansley argues:
'It is Britain’s yawning income and wealth gap – driven by the way the gains from economic activity have been captured by an over-powerful financial & corporate elite – that explains the rise of impoverishment. The achievements of the 1970s have been overturned by an end to the pro-equality philosophy of postwar governments, with the state being turned into an agent of inequality'.
(Again): Thatcher's triumph over political ideals.

Whether on approves or disapproves of swearing, curse words are everywhere, and now more than ever. New research reveals the most common vulgarity, and which countries curse the most. And I ask a linguist: Why are we hearing and seeing more swearing now, online and even among politicians on camera, as happened recently when the US president dropped an F-bomb on TV?

I realize that in this, the Century of the Kakistocracy, it is unlikely to pass legislation that helps actual people,but it should be absolutely illegal for business entities to buy single family residential properties. I’m not talking about like trusts, or even estates buying a singular or even adjoining property, but investment companies should not be allowed to make basic necessities like housing, an investment vehicle by owning enough property that they shift market values. We are in such an absurd bubble because vacant properties are being kept off the market specifically so as to raise prices. This leads to property taxes forcing long term owners to sell, with their houses being snapped up and kept off the market, further exacerbating the problem.
Vulture capital should be outlawed.

Except Canada. We folded like a wet noodle. We expect to have a deal signed soon, and then restructured soon thereafter at the whim of Trump. Also expect decreased social safety nets, subsidies for oil and gas, and reduced taxes on the rich. As if we have a business man in charge of the country who thinks that taking people off government support is like retrenching employees. The fired ones disappear and profits go up.

It’s stunning to think that Mark Carney had a front row seat for the austerity shit show put on by the UK and decided that that sounds like a fabulous idea.
