    This, and please excuse my language, is absolute, bugfuck, pants-on-head, insane. One of UK's most critically acclaimed living authors (who isn't a walking hate speech or abuser), has had her books pulled by her publisher because of the laws against #PalestineAction.

    #Irish novelist Sally #Rooney said her books can no longer be sold in the #UK because she financially supports the banned group #Palestine Action.

    Rooney, 35, is the critically praised author of four novels: “Conversations with Friends,” “Normal People,” “Beautiful World, Where are You” and “Intermezzo.”

    I remind you that all of this nonsense is happening under the nominally moderate #Labour party.

    As an American, I say to fellow USians as we close in on midterms, remember that Labour proves centrists are better than rightwing, but they are not our friends. They're still bootlickers.

    @MissConstrue Yeah, nobody's surprised, especially here in Ireland. The UK Labour Party is riddled with Israeli money and hasn't been considered left-wing since Kinnock was in charge. If anything, this is a great example of how deeply Israeli money and influence has penetrated the British establishment.

    @TheComfortableSpotPodcast At this point, Israeli or Israeli sympathizers control the US broadcasting, social media and print media landscape, as well as two of the three branches of government. And many of the intelligence services.

    And today they announced that ALL Arab states are illegitimate and subject to attack…using American weapons and taxpayer dollars. America and Britain have both become vassals to the Zionist state.

    (And to reiterate, this isn’t about Jewish faith, traditions or anything about Judaism as religion or Jews conceptually. I speak purely to the jihad of those who wear the klan robes of Zionism. )

    @MissConstrue absolutely agree and we're still at the point where we have to clarify publicly that we're not exposing Jews but Zionists. That's a really good example of the way that the Israeli military regime has us still having to clarify. I've stopped to be honest.

    @MissConstrue I read some discussion about if libraries would need to pull her books due to the payments they make to authors per checked out book... 🙄

    @swggrkllr3rd also, it looks like he’s about to do that bully thing where someone looks down and the poking person flicks their nose.

    I admit that I would pay good folding money to watch someone thumb Charles on the nose.

    @MissConstrue

    centrists are a greater danger than the right wing. they'll smile to your face about having convictions and then turn right around (pun intended) and with zero self reflection agree with right wing policies

    @coolcalmcollected I have come around to that idea as well. A decade ago, I might have said I was a centrist leftist, now...I'm an 1800's Unionist Socialist. I will burn some shit down if I have to. To the barricades, cousins!
