We dumbly agree, out of convenience or some notion that if we wanted to read the paper edition we'd have to pay for it, but one can shell out cash for the paper, pick it up in a waiting room, read a friend's copy, etc.
As soon as we attach a subscription to an online edition, all that happens is they get more data on us (as we are les inclined to delete their tracking cookies) whilst handing over solid confirmation that we are who they suspected we probably are.
If you must subscribe, use a dedicated browser & multiple measures to confound tracking.
Right now, they can't.
Money has gone, opportunity for very cheap borrowing (which is what a sane government would have grasped enthusiastically grasped in the wake of the last crash instead of breaking out to exploit everyone harder) is gone.
Maybe, if Reeves is given scope to do her shit, this country can not merely stall the accelerating decline, but turn stuff around.
Nothing is more vital right now & for some time than keeping faith against the odds that that can happen.
There is nothing to lose by trying to hold our nerve.
The portrait of Herzog which we all want to see, is the one he produces himself.
Reading the alt-text one might imagine a well-filled used condom of an especially fine latex.
Which isn't inaccurate, but now imagine the above gazing at a girl the second Terminator right before it spears Conor's foster mother right through her eyesocket.
Keeping a few of those little lens cleaning cloths in convenient places is about all I can think of. They launder fine too, if you notice any become less effective at removing smears.
If you ever need a new prescription, they should be able to put the new lenses in your current frame. Similarly, if your frame ever gets broken but your lenses are undamaged, they can pop them in a new frame. That said, keeping old glasses as spares is useful, and it can be fun to have new frames.
Nah, they're nutters with very weird ideas about Britishness, Irishness & everything else, but they no more look to the English for ideas about their own identity & how to manifest it than the English look to NI loyalists as a guide.
If anything they tend to rather despise Englishness, seeing their own culture as the one true, loyal holdout to the Union.
The aprons do seek to emulate Masonic regalia, but the ideals of the Orange Order are entirely contrary to those of Freemasonry, which in any case is not specifically English or even British.
In the absence of irrelevant descriptors, many people struggle to remember that fascists can seem quite normal in other respects. Giving a few details helps them to imagine the woman. In turn this can quell fallacies that attach to ideas about "respectable" or "nice".
That doesn't matter with regard to this woman as her behaviour is now a matter for the courts, but reminds Times readers that the terror threat doesn't come solely from disaffected louts hopped up on larger & sun exposure (& who may be quite partial to kicking off violently anyhow).
I'd think that in the absence of much to go on about her, they lifted stuff from her Twitter bio.
UK Labour's position on Gaza is no different to that of the Tories (or to the DNC in the US). In Scotland, the SNP is strongly pro-Gaza, but were wiped out. That's likely to have been in matters besides Palestine, but voters had the option to prioritise it and roundly rejected it. In NI & Wales, pro-Gazan candidates did less considerably less well than predicted 18 months ago. A few pro-Gazan candidates ran for the Workers' Party - a handful of them won seats, but others, including their party head lost theirs. Meantime far-right Reform loathe Israel & loathe Palestine more, but made massive gains.
In France, pro-Gazan FI is a major component of NFP, the alliance which got the biggest vote share, but they only scraped that by working strategically with the rest of the left & with the neolibs to see off the far-right, and even this alliance did not win a majority. Within this there's little to no agreement on Palestine, and FI's position drew in some voters and alienated others.
Nope, because those recent gains were in spite of positions on Gaza & in any case there are few positions which the US could take which would be more grimly anti-Palestinian than that of the GOP.
It is a very long time since I've read as ahistorical writing as this article. We all wish that support for Palestine were there, but it very demonstrably is not.
Am so glad you spoke with the vet and that you've escaped that part of things.
Much love to you!
