Hard to stomach that the pigs who mishandled the steven lawrence murder (and the assault on his friend) have got off without charge. it only takes a tiny bit of lateral thinking to realise that the lack of evidence, in a context already found to have been structured by racism, IS, ITSELF, ALL THE EVIDENCE YOU NEED

this got me thinking that outside of electoral politics there’s very rarely single issues, or to put it another way, it is sad that in electoral politics - with its apparent need to appeal to people with a menu of popular policies- single issues can emerge like this. outside of electoral politics the US civil rights movement needed the communist party’s support at a time it could have legitimately said it represented the US proletariat; modern disability studies relies heavily on alignment with gay rights activism and queer theory; environmentalism and indigenous rights; BLM and the movement to boycott and divest from companies supporting Israeli apartheid, all these have become deeply connected. Then big parties swoop down and say ‘we like you but your friend is too risky’. However, these forms of solidarity do mean that if one of your friends has an influence a wider culture of acceptance has a greater chance of developing. Or, put it another way, I’d rather be before a liberal judge for my perceived crimes than a conservative one, even if the laws are the same.

i feel i could be up for some left authoritarianism too, like maoist reeducation programs, but without any starvation. although they will say they are starving because meat free. i also think there’s some room for our army/navy/airforce to offer greenpeace some assistance with their next projects: does that count?

This, sexy, beautifully made thing doesn't work for me but I suspect, though something may be wrong, it isn’t actually broken and what is wrong may actually be ‘me’. Would love to swap for something that sees me for who/what I am - a neanderthal in need of an idiot’s track pump. Or £10.
Below is redundant.
Silver, 1 1/8, needs an overhaul and is missing a top cap (though I can provide a non-matching one). Free for karma or one of those grapefruit beers at morrisons/sainos. Can post at cost. -
