I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“How Secret Pro-Israel Money Flooded the Labour Party and Ended with a Ban of Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur”

“Piker and Uygur were not banned by the Labour Party—they were banned by the Labour Together party. The primary architect of the Labour Together project is Morgan McSweeney, who was, until recently, Starmer’s chief of staff and widely understood as the real force running the government. McSweeney resigned in February after it was revealed he had pushed Peter Mandelsohn as the UK’s ambassador to the U.S., despite knowing of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein”

Protect someone the way the UK protects genocide: “Cenk Uygur, Hasan Piker Banned From UK After Israel Criticisms: ‘This Is Absolutely Kafkaesque’
The Young Turks co-creator says he found out while trying to board a flight to London for a speech at Oxford”
https://www.thewrap.com/media-platforms/politics/cenk-uygur-hasan-piker-banned-from-uk-over-israel-criticisms-this-is-absolutely-kafkaesque/
Cenk Uygur, co-founder of the Young Turks and a resolute critic of Israel, and his nephew Hasan Piker, the left-wing political commentator and influencer, both said Sunday that they had been banned from traveling to the U.K., stating that British authorities cited their public criticisms of Israel.
…
“I’ve been banned from the UK,” he wrote. “I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!”
…
“The British government is saying they’re banning me because I am ‘a serious risk to the public order’ due to my criticism of Israel. They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don’t know if facts will soon be banned in Britain.”

…Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking approval contained false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.

“Breaking: fears of stitch-up as judges say [UK Home Secretary] Mahmood can appeal Palestine Action unbanning”
by Skwawkbox with The Canary
@uk_politics
@thecanaryuk@independent-media.co.uk
@UKLabour@mastodon.cloud
“On 13 February, three High Court judges humiliated the Starmer government by declaring the regime’s terrorist ban on anti-genocide group Palestine Action unlawful.
However, the judges allowed the Home Office time to prepare arguments for an appeal against the finding — and the very narrow grounds on which the judges declared the ban unlawful made legal experts fearful that the judgment was constructed to be overturned on appeal”

Is using the n word without implying they are being inferior racist or being a pottymouth?
I have a 3 day ban over on Reddit for saying (n word, then homophobic f word). I wasn't implying anyone was inferior. Reddit lacks a rule expressly saying I can't use slurs in any context, although they have racism and homophobia banned. Was I being racist and homophobic just by mentioning the word?
Here is the context: I said on /r/monkeyspaw: "Granted. Your username is now "/u/nf." uncensored. In response to
"I wish I was able to change my username on reddit."
