UK MPs vote to proscribe Palestine Action as terrorist group Minister argues move will not impinge on people’s right to protest but critics call it β€˜grave abuse of state power’

Fuck the government, fuck the Labour Party, and fuck this so-called "democracy". #PalestineAction #FreePalestine #LabourParty #KeirStarmer

Particularly lovely section at the end talking about food and sharing meals together. (Which, interestingly, is in some country's national nutrition guidelines, I forget which though).

Ross, you wanna come on the Bread and Rosaries podcast and talk about politics and Christianity and Green stuff?

Yeah for sure. Her depth of knowledge on the context alone was great.

Ep.39 - Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers (feat. LΓ­via Roberge) Bread and Rosaries Β· Episode

Ive been doing research on the diggers lately and there’s a lot of important themes there that are still with us.

If you’ve always wanted to know more about them, listen to @commiexian.bsky.social’s podcast ep about them!

Thanks! Love the Diggers and this was really fun to make! And in fact we have three other episodes on them, two immediately after this one and one (Ep.49) where I literally just read their pamphlet 'The True Levellers' Standard Advanced'. But this one is the best imho – Liv Roberge is great! 😊

I wouldn't worry – he's such a melt he'll just go with convention. Maggie was evil, but at least she had the ovaries to actually do something.

There have been a few minor reforms to the process over the years, including a process of public consultation and representatives from the worldwide Anglican communion added to the commission, but realistically it's still a really elitist process for a really elitist institution.

...except once, when Maggie Thatcher chose a different candidate for Bishop of Birmingham in 1987 because she didn't like the left-wing politics of the preferred candidate–one of many reasons she is now privatising hell.

BUT this is only by convention, not by law, so theoretically the PM could choose to give a different name to the monarch. This was easier before 2007 because up to that point the CNC gave two names with their preferred one listed first. Realistically this never actually happened though...

@themagnificast.bsky.social To answer your CofE/ABC related question at the end of the last episode, a Crown Nominations Commission is formed of bishops, clergy & laity. Eventually they give the Prime Minister their preferred candidate for ABC, and he sends it on to be rubber stamped by the monarch.

Ep.69 - How Do We Know What We Know? (feat. Professor Oli Mould) Bread and Rosaries Β· Episode

Not sure if anyone out there wants to hear my deep dive on epistemology, red-pilling, and much anti-capitalist ranting with the amazing @commiexian.bsky.social on the Bread & Rosaries podcast, but if you do, the link is here: open.spotify.com/episode/7IPf...

The revolution will be fought with the tools we have to hand, not those we wish we had to hand. In this case, those tools sadly did not include an axe! #Hamleys #NotMyKing #amonarchyisnotademocracy

Fourteen?! 😳 Well she's looking well for it! A beauty! My mum's cat died at the age of 23. By that time she'd been completely toothless for years but still ate biscuits to the day she died! Amazes me how resilient they are!

A cat bowl with lots of rice in it and far too much out of it! A notable lack of chicken.

Poor boy looking sorry for himself after having SEVEN teeth out today! The vet said he could only have boiled chicken & rice when he got home. Given the circumstances, I was impressed with his eagerness to eat & the dexterity with which he carefully removed the chicken & spurned the rice! #cat
