@latelesley If the submissions to the Court by South Africa are found *not* to be express contraventions of the Genocide Convention, I honestly don't know how the Court, and the wider world, can live with itself.
What a way to start a Friday morning. Here's Fiona Bruce absolutely dropping the mic all *over* Esther McVey ... FB: "Now that you are Minister for Common Sense, is that suggesting that the ministers already doing their jobs in various departments in cabinet, they don't have enough common sense, so you've got to come in and display more common sense?" Cue much giggling from the audience and a face like a slapped arse on Esther 😂😂 #UKPolitics
"The way this is reported in the Western media is as though one needs a PhD in Middle Eastern Studies to understand the basic morality of holding a people in a situation where they don't have basic rights" Ta-Nehisi Coates, speaking after a visit to the West Bank.

Quality statesmanship from Sunak, as ever 🙄😡 Adam Bienkov, on the dark side: "Asked about the Conservative Party’s Tamworth candidate suggesting that unemployed parents struggling to feed their children should “fuck off”, Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson says the comments show that “unlike Labour we are a party that believes in work”." #UKPolitics#CostOfLivingCrisis
GOOD NEWS ALERT! The people of Poland have voted for democracy. The opposition has won a majority of seats and the authoritarian PiS is defeated. The main factor was *huge* turnout. Voting matters. #Solidarity#Poland#Democracy#ResistFascism ✊🇵🇱 🇪🇺
Tory-hating, Brexit-denying, nature-loving book nerd. Inept gardener, sketcher, knitter and music-maker. Queen of lazy town, prone to aimless wittering. Pro-independence for all who want it. Proud to live in Wales. Very sweary but only at the wrong kind of people, and they know who they are.
