offsite link Detectives Call on Grandmother ?For Criticising Labour Councillors? Sun Feb 23, 2025 13:09 | Richard Eldred
In a scene straight out of East Germany's Stasi playbook, a grandmother got a visit from two plainclothes police officers ? not for committing a crime, but for daring to criticise Labour councillors online.

Left-wing activists in Britain are less likely to work with their political opponents and more likely to think that those who think differently have been misled, a study has found. Leftists are intolerant? Who knew.

Toby Blair's Institute for Global Change has published a report that apparently tells Ed Miliband his Net Zero plans are unrealistic. But look closer and you find the same Green Blob pushing the same agenda, says Ben Pile.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Far-Left for providing one of the most entertaining political campaigns of the last few years. How I've laughed as I've watched a group of Socialist/SWP people badly run, badly represent and badly debate a ridiculous "struggle" that nobody wants. Everyone knows they're simply doing it to try and gain seats in next years local elections - but they may have achieved the complete opposite. Their campaign is about to implode (probably with the usual Left-Wing in-fighting and bickering), and the only thing they've gained is the comtempt of the vast majority of Dublin householders. Expect repercussions in the next Local and General elections. No wonder the Labour Party have kept relatively quiet on the issue over the last few weeks. ... read full story / add a comment

Michael Moore is often cited as the accessible face of the left -- someone that's in touch with the people, someone that doesn't retreat into the ghetto of arcane politics. For many he's also a shallow populist that misses the boat on many important issues, oversimplifies complex arguments and fails to provide solutions. In his new book he's gone much further: he condemns a man on death row inspite of the absence of a fair trial. ... read full story / add a comment

Learning no lessons from the disaster in Russia, the US-run administration has unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the economy, giving foreign companies near total access to Iraqi firms which are to be sold off in a privatisation frenzy. ... read full story / add a comment
