Interesting that so many fascists and nationalist populists across the world seem to think Novax Djokovic is a 'hero' for enduring exactly the same detention conditions that they applaud when refugees and asylum seekers are subjected to them - in some cases for years. #AusOpen
I wonder if this partly explains it: euronews.com/2022/01/07/nov…
Or this...
Not to mention this...
Which brings us to this observation from Djokovic Snr: 'Morrison and his like have dared attack Novak to bring Serbia to its knees. Serbia has always shown that he comes from a proud nation.'

We know that certain people love 'proud nations' these days. Boy do we know it...
This is the rancid stench that will have attracted Mosley-Farage - that and the free publicity - because you can bet your last dinar that he isn't in Serbia to protest about an 'Australia-style immigration policy.'

Exactly right from Rhian Graham of the #Colston4. This quotation can’t be shared enough. theguardian.com/world/2022/jan… Image
This is how Merriam-Webster-Webster defines ‘woke.’ So when the right uses it as an insult, they are revelling in and actively promoting a contrary definition, as in Image
‘Unaware of and actively disinterested in important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).

Who would be proud of that? Who would think that is a moral code worth living by?

I don’t think there is much doubt that Johnson is the most personally repulsive PM in British history. But by focussing exclusively on ‘character’ it’s easy to forget the ‘characters’ who brought him to power, and the political forces that used him for their own purposes.
For example…the donors
And the party members…

‘THE 'RED DEATH' had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal: the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution.’ Image
‘But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated…’ Image
‘…he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.’ Image

Today I went walking in the hills and got so wet and cold I could hardly move my fingers and my hands were like raw meat. On returning to my house I put the heating on, changed into warm clothes and thought of the 27 men,women, and children who drowned in the Channel. That was
just over a week ago, but already the crocodile tears have dried on the faces of politicians. Already the ‘tragedy’ is slipping down the memory hole. So far there has been no investigation into allegations that the French and British ignored their calls for help and left them
floating in freezing waters, buffeted by waters that Channel swimmers smear themselves in grease to swim in even in the summer, clinging onto their deflated dinghy for hours till, one by one, they let go and abandoned themselves to death. Now

Is there going to be an investigation into the horrific claims made on the Kurdish Rudaw News website? Or have we become a country that is ok with this now? rudaw.net/english/world/…
Last night Fiona Bruce asked on Question Time, ‘how do we stop them coming?’ This is how some of ‘them’ spent their last hours on earth
Here are some of ‘them’. Do we not feel any anger, horror, or pity that they died so horrifically? That they felt obliged to make these journeys in the first place?

Lots of Tory MPs and Republicans handwringing about #AfghanistanBurning right now. Some Labour MPs joining in. Some of these lamentations are aimed at Biden. Others bewail a more general ‘betrayal of Afghan women’/wasted British and U.K. sacrifice/NATO failure etc
No acknowledgement of the strategic failures that were obvious - to those who wanted to look - long before the collapse of the Afghan state. Or the horrific damage inflicted on Afghanistan by so many countries in the savage geopolitical competition for Mackinder’s ‘heartland’
Let’s go back to March 17 1979. The Soviet Politburo meets to discuss the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan, where the USSR’s communist allies are savagely suppressing and Islamist insurrection in Herat. Foreign minister Andrei Gromyko explains the situation
