"John Rees is right – Keir Starmer, the ‘long-time servant of the security state’ – and his regime are engaged in all-out war on the freedom of UK citizens, many of them Jewish, to assemble, to protest, to report and to resist #Starmer’s mushrooming police state, especially but not only on the subject of Israel’s #genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in #Gaza."

Well now, we might think that this would be a good thing, the only way to actually get serious reduction in carbon emissions, and given the likely scenario of continued inaction / pretend action, it is.
However, such a crash would destroy many lives and livelihoods.
Before someone suggests it - this is not #degrowth, but unmanaged contraction.

His tone and emphasis is very clear. Palestinian deaths, trauma and suffering almost an afterthought. Don't mention the wrong #genocide.

[#]UK #Labour government, desperate for the Chimera of GDP growth, now encouraging #AI firms to colonise the UK, telling the plebs not to worry about safety concerns.
Those safety concerns include the massive energy, water consumption, the heat and #carbon pollution.
Moreover it won't bring jobs, it will destroy jobs, inter alia reducing surplus value extraction and hence internal #GDP growth
Ignorant, negligent fools.

Family history and railways:
A great great grandfather was an engine cleaner, then a fireman (stoker).
A great great great grandfather claimed insurance after a railway accident.
A great uncle was an engine driver.
A daughter worked 10 years at Victoria station.
Probably more too.

2025 is being celebrated as the 200th anniversary of the birth of the passenger railway. A bit premature, although there was a one-off excursion on the Stockton and Darlington railway, with passengers traveling on coal wagons, the regular passenger service from 1825-1830 used horse-drawn coaches.
In 1830, the Liverpool Manchester railway opened, the first connecting 2 cities and the first scheduled passenger service.

A shout out to the #wordpress.org support fora.
I run a fairly complex website for our community arts festival. I have some support with styling from a graphic designer and a web developer. However, making things work, especially when there isn't a plugin to do exactly what's needed is made much easier by the advice, code snippets, etc., freely given on these fora.
Another example of the #GiftEconomy, so different from those oligarchic platform vultures.
