Tony Benn and the Five Essential Questions of Democracy

(14.3.2014) Tony Benn met Mahatma Gandhi when he was 12, knew and defended Nelson Mandela when the embrace of the anti-apartheid struggle was seen as a radical act, began his fifty years of service in the British Parliament when Winston Churchill was the leader of the conservative opposition and left after Tony Blair became prime minister, renounced his inherited title as the 2nd Viscount Stansgate so that he could continue to serve in the people‘s parliament (declaring “I am not a reluctant peer but a persistent commoner”), ushered in a new age of popular communications and connectivity as Britain’s pioneering Minister of Technology in the 1960s and 1970s, championed cooperatives and worker ownership as Britain’s Minister of Industry in the 1970s, battled not just Margaret Thatcher but the compromising leaders of his own Labour Party on behalf of the working class in the 1980s and finished his almost 60 years of public life as an international leader of the opposition to the wars of whim and folly that have stolen so much of the promise of our time.

EU won’t give the PM the deal she wants — we must be dignified & change our course of action NOW

Do they have any inkling how much goodwill between our nations they have destroyed with their parlour games over the past 2½ years? How many once pro-EU Brits they convert into Leavers with every new salvo?

Do they not grasp how mistrustful, obstructive and even hostile we would become as an EU member if, God forbid, Remain won a second referendum?

“Stop Brexit.” Let’s be real about what this means — it means stopping the largest democratic vote in British history; it means stopping democracy itself. Sturgeon and others hold the British demos in open, shameless contempt.

Senior Tories tell Theresa May to work with Jeremy Corbyn as only hope to save her Brexit deal

Nicky Morgan, the former education secretary, told The Independent that “cross-party support and proper discussions” were now essential, while Nick Boles, another former minister, said Ms May “must open cross-party discussions”.

The calls came after EU leaders dealt a devastating blow by scrapping written commitments, designed to help Ms May pass her deal through parliament, after disastrous talks failed to achieve a breakthrough.

Christmas Agatha Christie will reflect parallels between fascism and Brexit Britain, show‘s writer says

Viewers of the BBC’s new Agatha Christie drama will find many familiar elements: a killer on the loose, a mystery to solve and Hercule Poirot piecing together the clues.

But the adaptation of The ABC Murders will also bring Brexit into the mix, inviting audiences to draw parallels between the rise of fascism in 1930s Britain and the state of the nation today.

Comedian refused to sign ‚behavioural agreement‘ before gig

(12.12.2018) He was asked to perform at a gig at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London, organised by university society Unicef on Campus.

The group has since apologised and the Students‘ Union says it „believes fully in freedom of speech“.

Konstantin told Radio 1 Newsbeat the experience reflects a growing trend of free speech becoming stifled on university campuses across the UK.

He shared the „behavioural agreement form“ online, saying the title „nearly made me puke“.

Israel strengthens its ties with the West’s far right

(12.12.2018) They all seem united in their apparent support for Netanyahu’s government, one that is constantly battling against international isolation in the face of its ongoing occupation of the Palestinian territories.

In recent years, as the governing coalition under Netanyahu drifted further and further to the right, the once-unquestioned bipartisan support for Israel in Washington has started to crack.

Natalie Portman: Israel‘s Nation-state Law Is ‚Racist‘ and a ‚Mistake‘

„I am not part of the BDS movement and do not endorse it. Like many Israelis and Jews around the world, I can be critical of of the leadership in Israel without wanting to boycott the entire nation.“ Portman added that she treasures „Israeli friends and family, Israeli food, books, art, cinema and dance.“

She went on to say that Israel „was created exactly 70 years ago as a haven for refugees from the Holocaust. But the mistreatment of those suffering from today‘s atrocities is simply not in line with my Jewish values. Because I care about Israel, I must stand up against violence, corruption, inequality and abuse of power.“

Ex-Studentenführer Cohn-Bendit verurteilt französische „Gelbwesten“

Die Manifestation von politischem Widerstand in der Arbeiterklasse in Form der „Gelbwesten“-Proteste enthüllt die erbitterte Feindschaft, die den Arbeitern vonseiten der Kräfte entgegenschlägt, welche bisher fälschlicherweise als „Linke“ galten. Diese Leute lehnen die Forderungen nach sozialer Gleichheit und nach Internationalismus ab, die bei den „Gelbwesten“ an erster Stelle stehen.

Daniel Cohn-Bendit, der führende Kopf der französischen Studentenproteste vom Mai 1968, attackiert die „Gelbwesten“ ausdrücklich, weil sie Steuersenkungen für Reiche ablehnen, und verunglimpft sie als Faschisten.

Cohn-Bendits grenzenlose politische Korruption verdeutlicht den drastischen Rechtsruck einer ganzen kleinbürgerlichen Schicht, die in den 1960er-Jahren jung war und heute die offizielle „Linken“ übermäßig dominiert.
