"We are now in a very bad situation, because I think it’s a historic wrong decision, for it’s against the majority of the population in Germany. According to new polls, the majority in Germany is against sending battle tanks to Ukraine. The majority is in favor for more diplomacy, for a negotiated peace in Ukraine," Dagdelen, who is member of the Left party, told a German news outlet on Thursday.
Funny how the tone of reporting on Ukraine has changed completely https://open.substack.com/pub/caitlinjohnstone/p/the-mass-media-used-to-publish-perspectives?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

HS 2 will undermine the revenues of existing railway lines. It creates extra capacity when there are too few passengers. The costs are far too high with no credible plan on how to pay back the money spent. People near the works resent it and taxpayers will come to regret it.

Some of us want it to get better for everyone, because some of us aren't silly and selfish

“This is just little England elites drunk on the memory of a British empire that no longer exists. We have the lowest pensions in Europe, the lowest sick pay, we pretend the minimum wage is a living wage when it’s not. We miss our own economic targets time and time again... https://twitter.com/Tartan1320/status/1611031080710164482
The essence of privilege is that hard work isn't needed, just having the right face in the right place.
Which is absolutely all that Johnson and all the rest of the incompetent, lying, venal crew have going for them.
They're like light bulbs that make it seem dimmer.

Hancock justified his jungle trip by saying his fee would go to charity.
The liar's truth is now out. Just 3% of £320k - £10k went to charity.
Stop putting words into my mouth, child.
@NoahH That is disgusting whataboutism and you should be ashamed.
Also completely historically inaccurate.
Marxists use the word imperialism in a very specific way to talk about the way capitalism uses violence and coercion to control the world and rip off the poorest/weakest countries.
Zelenensky wants whatever his owners want. He's not an honest actor.
I do not want the Russians there either.
Just won't go around pretending that my local warmongers have clean hands while the Ukrainian people are paying the price.
@NoahH How is the mass murder in Yugoslavia, dropping cluster bombs on civilian targets etc. and the destruction of civilian water supplies in Libya not imperialist? Whose interests do those actions server?
@NoahH "We"? "Our" allies?
How long have you been a member of the ruling class in the imperial core?
