New books from Sidekick on their way! More on this when I get back from my holiday ...

Everything you were warned about Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in Government is coming to pass, but for Liberal commentators to admit that & call it out, would mean the ‘Cranks & Corbynites’ might have been right. So, they’ll double down & bury their head in the sand instead.

They get it. They just don't want you to have access to those things, because it's competition for your attention. The only things you're allowed to consume and enjoy are what they can sell you.

While we're at it, what happened to lunatic asylums, lobotomies and electro-shock therapy? Something fishy going on here!

In case you want to be sure how fucking genocidal Zionists are, here's the two from that horrifying clip last weak explaining they're not genocidal, they just think violently exterminating all Palestinians is perfectly normal & almost all their Zionist Israeli friends agree.
