Nuclear-and-renewable-powered AC for all. No really. It would be one of the most humanitarian undertakings ever mounted. Cooling is as much of a human right as heating. It’s just that the tech is a lot newer than fire.

Not shocked tbh. Israeli racism vs Palestinians is based on the idea that they're anthropologically alien. They're non-bourgeois in way of life. 'They will kill us all if they get the chance. Co-existence is impossible, one has to go. Force will decide, & force is on our side'.

Labour's immigration policy mantra of "smash the gangs!" will be as useless as the Tories previously braying "stop the boats!"
