  • Terminating Partnerships: The UK Ends the Rwanda Solution

    The dishonour board is long.  Advisors from Australia, account chasing electoral strategists, former Australian cabinet ministers happy to draw earnings in British pounds.  British Conservative politicians keen to mimic their cruel advice, notably on such acid topics as immigration and the fear of porous borders. Ghastly terminology used in Australian elections rhetorically repurposed for the […]

  • Massacre at the Ballot: The Punishing of the Tories

    Few would have staked their political fortune, let alone any other sort of reward, on a return of the British Conservatives on July 4.  The polls often lie, but none suggested that outcome.  The only question was the extent British voters would lacerate the Tories who have been in office for fourteen years, presiding over […]

    Did The West Provoke The Ukraine War? Sorry, That Question Has Been Cancelled

    Is it possible for an entire ‘mainstream’ media system – every newspaper, website, TV channel – to completely suppress one side of a crucial argument without anyone expressing outrage, or even noticing?

    It was a pitiful sight.  Soaked and literally washed-out, the feeble thin British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, made an announcement that caught many in his party by surprise.  On July 4, the United Kingdom will be going to the polls.  Necks will find themselves in nooses and placed in the guillotine – metaphorically speaking.  The […]

    Armistice Day is one of those disturbing occasions of the year when humanity’s folly is laid bare.  It should be an occasion to remind said humanity about the stupid waste occasioned by war and its war-crazed planners who generally elude the dock; instead, it’s an occasion to extol its virtues and remind the reactionaries that […]

  • Foolish Exclusions: China and the Bletchley Declaration on AI

    At the conclusion of the Second World War, debates raged on how best to regulate the destructive power of the atom.  Splitting it had been used most savagely against the populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, thereby ending, to date, the globe’s costliest war.  Visions also abounded on the promise and glory of […]

  • The Group of Seven Should Finally Be Shut Down

    The Group of Seven Should Finally Be Shut Down

    Leon Golub (USA), Vietnam II, 1973. During the May 2023 Group of Seven (G7) summit, the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, near where the meeting was held. Not doing so would have been an act of immense discourtesy. Despite many […]
