"Read this book, learn the lessons of it, and get #ing angry, and get revenge . . . "

“Of course we supplied a lot of plain uniforms like that for the army lads to wear during the miners’ strike.”

. . . the Greens in the Lords called a vote to protect journalists – for the sake of all this country’s people. It was defeated, because Keir Starmer whipped Labour peers to abstain.
. . .
Keir Starmer has been called a ‘long-time servant of the British security state’ and his affiliations have been expressed in votes to protect state agents from even such crimes as rape and murder, his attacks on environmental and human rights protesters, his support for immunity for soldiers who murdered civilians in Northern Ireland and more. So his action in the Lords vote last night should surprise no one, but his decision to whip for abstention and engineer the defeat of the motion rather vote against it directly is another manifestation of his fundamental spinelessness.

Last time I went through Hereford, (SAS town), I was escorted by two men with automatic pistols in chest rigs. One in front attracting my attention, one behind. They play for pay.
Orgreave was a bloody disgrace how they beat the miners.
Thatcher was much better than Brown or Blair but she also had her excesses.
