UK Government to Investigate Rising Antisemitism in Schools
>With 204 school-related antisemitic cases recorded last year, concerns are mounting over the safety and long-term future of Jewish school pupils and teachers in the UK.
>The British government has launched an independent review into antisemitism in England’s schools and colleges following a sharp rise in classroom-related incidents since the October 7th, 2023 Hamas pogrom in Israel.

We get all the downsides of cultural Americanism mixed with all the downsides of British culture, and none of the upsides of living in the richest country on earth.
Who are you voting for in the Unite Executive election> I'm stuck.
It bothers me that not one institution bullied into banning transwomen has called the TERF bluff and just said: "fine, we accept men now. good going."
It's almost entirely risk free because by-and-large men do not join organizations intended for women. Indeed, there's a recognizable phenomenon of men abandoning female-dominated fields. (e.g. in the US basically all vetrenary students are now women, in the 2000s it was 50/50, while in the 1950s they used to nearly all be men. men don't like being in a female dominated field.) These things are (and ought to be) decided by social convention and not by law. The net practical effect would be to avoid banning the inevitably tiny number of trans people, while adding no men, and not buckling to bad faith actors. Any organization that fails to take such an approach must be regarded as some variety of institutionally incompetent.
plus - and i grant this is why nobody will risk it - it could get us a fun court precedent where, finally, the courts say out loud that merely calling something "men's" or "women's" does not make it a single sex space for legal purposes. the EA2010 allows discrimination, and the name is a good way of indicating that you will engage in such discrimination, but there's no rule that says "If the name sounds like it's restricted to one sex, it must be restricted in that way" - you can make a 100% cis-male group and call it "the girls club" if you want! the idea that the law can or should stop you is utter insanity!!
>>2759015But but the board told me all jews were zionist and that is why opposing israel is antisemitic???
Also bro is still hoemad about Stop the War huh.
>>2758631In Norn tho?
>>2759037Nick Troy is a solid comrade vote for him no matter who else you vote for.
>>2759590>It bothers me that not one institution bullied into banning transwomen has called the TERF bluff and just said: "fine, we accept men now. good going."I am 90% sure one did and got away with 100% can't for the life of me remember what tho.

>>2761870the synethsis of pro-trans khomeini thought
>>2761870just appealing to racism, the press have cultivated a muslim = social reactionary perception so muslims voting for a party that wants to legalize drugs and has a hardline stance on LGBT+ issues must mean they are forming an alliance with the evil right wing religious fanatics (but not like us, brown) and not that their racist crack smoke apparition is just that, a cloud of crack smoke.
>>2761872We know the "woke-islamist alliance" is fake vaporwave hallucinated by mentally ill pundits because if it was real we would see woke people reclaiming themselves from Khomeini like how they invocate Rawlsean or Enlightenment morality.
>>2761883>muslim = social reactionary that is a correct estimation
>>2761917islam is racialised as "brown people religion" so it has indeed a reflexive defense from all sorts of politically correct secularists. judaism is also racialised, so criticism is seen as antisemitic, while christianity is the only universal religion, hence why criticism cannot be particularised, no matter how many right-wingers attempt to code it as "white" (was Jesus "white", perchance?). with the recent anglican ceremony i saw comments lamenting the "african" elements of it, so i looked it up, and there are literally more anglicans in africa than in england!
>>2761870greens might win by stealing the muslim vote due to labour being pro israel. if they do this they will drive labour mad and we will see some funny shit
>>2733613Isn't boykisser a retarded liberal pseud meme?
>>2762007no, it's a generic zoomer meme
describing it in those terms is comical.
>>2762189>Extra British troops and more UK air defence systems will be deployed to the Middle East for defensive action against Iranian attacks, bringing the total number of UK personnel involved in the defence of the Gulf and Cyprus to around 1,000.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7vq76g45rvosir kier is sending more troops
>>2762190Kier Starmer is the Michael Jordan of shooting yourself in the foot, he’s so fucking cool
>>2761957in broad terms yes but also turns out they're willing to ignore all the idpol positions by the greens by virtue of being the only non-insane people on Gaza
>>2762253>gazamuslims as a group are a one-issue voting bloc. i dont care if leftists use them as useful idiots, so long as leftists dont become the useful idiots of muslims.
>>2762253When Kveir cucked out on trans rights i naively thought he would use this opportunity not to cuck on other things. But it turns out when you cuck on one thing you cuck on everything.
>>2761957Sam Harris and Dawkins both fully went down the new atheist to anti-woke ultra-zionist pro-israel rightoid culture war warrior pipeline
>>2762427Dawkins in particular dissapoints me a lot to be honest. To be a reactionary zogslave like this
>>2762427they embraced noahide law
which means we must embrace shariah law, for some reason…
>>2762433out of the big atheists I wonder how Hitchens would have turned out. Unlike the others he was opposed to zionism. but would he have been able to sustain this position?
>Hitchens had said of himself, "I am an Anti-Zionist. I'm one of those people of Jewish descent who believes that Zionism would be a mistake even if there were no Palestinians."[70] and "If Jews born in Brooklyn have a right to a state in Palestine, then Palestinians born in Jerusalem have a right to a state in Palestine. Anyone who doesn't agree with that principle I think is suspect."[71] >>2762458I think that sort of position would have been maintained no matter what honestly, he seems consistent and is arguing for the whole 'no borders' thing.
>>2762427this is another win for "politics is a function of disposition" theory
they are low agreeability, low neuroticism types, they get off on arguing. when too many people owned up to not believing in god, there wasn't as many arguments available there though - so they started attacking muslims, which still got people's heckles up. then they realized that you can have even more arguments if you broaden out from religion into the entire sphere of politics.
meanwhile the atheism+ set are high-agreeableness, high neuroticism types, and they realized that once you got rid of the religious freaks of the Bush 2 administration you were still stuck with a million other social and political ills and oppressions to rally against and blog about how you're independently standing up to this oppression - so they started getting into social justice politics.
a rightist might also say they get off on being oppressed, in the interests of fairness.new atheism brought these groups together because anti-religion had something to offer both these people, and then they broke up as they both found a niche better suited to their personality (and as religion, as an external stimulus, stopped being a real problem because a huge chunk of passive cultural christians who'd stopped going to church 20 years ago were eager to drop it as soon as they realized it is all a bit stupid and all the cool people don't pretend to believe anymore.)
>>2763089actually, i will develop slightly on the spoiler: i think the reason the latter group "get off on being oppressed" is because it provides an external explanation for the discomfort that comes with high neuroticism. if you are constantly uneasy for some reason, it's much better and more intuitive to say "it's because of the patriarchy/racism/inequality/homophobia/transphobia/classism/fatphobia in society" (all of which are, in and of themselves, legitimate reasons to be uncomfortable!) than to accept "i am
always going to be uncomfortable as a result of my personality, and even under a fully egalitarian communist society with no social prejudices whatsoever, i will still feel off"
YP news:
- the holyrood election deadline was at 4pm today, they're not standing. welsh election deadline is next week, the 9th i think.
- a member of the scottish committee resigned claiming it was just a mechanism to attack the UK wide party, only for it to turn out they were being paid £500/day by the party for "administrative services"
- the welsh representative on the CEC is subject to a recall petition for zionism (picrel), although the party itself doesn't actually have a functioning recall mechanism. but remember: YP are supposed to be more committed anti-imperialists than the greens!
- a bit dated but https://yourpartyvoices.substack.com/p/where-have-the-many-gone-whats-that is a funny read. it has nothing to address the obviously-impending failure to run candidates, but it reads like it's half AI generated and there's a bit where they attack the scottish greens for factionalism in the tone you'd expect from the current labour government even though the greens are positioned to gain seats in the upcoming holyrood elections and were officially in government as recently as 2024 thanks to a coalition with the SNP, an outcome well beyond the capacity of a party that couldn't even pick candidates and get nomination papers in on time. one of their later lines really solidifies that they've imported Labour's attitude to Scotland
>We joined a U.K. party let’s plan our future together.
tl;dr it's all going REALLY well, except the stuff that's Zarah Sultana's fault.

MANCHESTER MAY DAYSunday 3rd of May
P.S: If you want to get involved/attend your local May Day event, contact your local Trades Council; they are usually the ones organising it.
https://www.tuc.org.uk/trades-councils >Plaid Cymru councillors / candidates say Israel is a terrorist state, that it doesn't have "a right to exist", and calling Kemi Badenoch the most prominent black collaborator for white supremacy in the UK
>All demonstrably factual trvkes of wisdom
>Reform runs crying to the BBC demanding they run an article about it to get the plaid candidates canceled
>BBC, as a hitlerian ziodog propaganda mouthpiece, complies with Reforms demands
>Plaid, as unfortunately lib-pilled as they are, do the correct thing and tell Reform/BBC they don't see anything untrue or offensive on the statements
>Meanwhile Reform candidates are seig heiling publicly and posting on Facebook about who all p-slurs should be shot on sight
>Absolute silence from the BBC about this of course
>>2764259>>2764257Why is it the wrong day?
No "left-wing" political organisation in this country can persist without its first priority being the abolition of the monarchy and house of lords. Everything else is secondary of this first demand.
>YP ignore Scotland ostensibly to focus on English local elections
>At least 3 of their current local candidates were Tories as recently as January
Lol, lmao.
>>2765220Because we don't get the 1st of May off because we are a cucked country.
