It seems that some people in Japan have already worked it out:

Just to let you know that Party members and sympathisers plan to distribute the famous leaflet at the demonstration planned for Saturday 11 November. It’s from Hyde Park to the new US embassy the other side of the river in Vauxhall.
Leaflets can be collected from 10.30 onwards from our premises at 52 Clapham High street, SW4 7UN (2 tube stops from Vauxhall).
Further details later under “World Socialist Movement”.

I can’t work it out but does this mean that Lafargue’s The Right to be Lazy has been translated into Japanese ? Or is it simply another translation into English?

After Mad Mullahs now Rabid Rabbis.
“According to Genesis 15:18 and Joshua 1:4, the land God gave to Israel included everything from the Nile River in Egypt to Lebanon (south to north) and everything from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River (west to east). On today’s map, the land God has stated belongs to Israel includes everything modern-day Israel possesses, plus all of the territory occupied by the Palestinians (the West Bank and Gaza), plus some of Egypt and Syria, plus all of Jordan, plus some of Saudi Arabia and Iraq.”
I don’t think the Jewish tribal god has enough battalions to enforce that. But it puts “from the river to the sea” in the shade.
Will the government now ban as racist, insulting and provocative, those who proclaim “from the sea to the river . . . Euphrates” ?
Who are these overly simplistic messages supposed to be for?
This was one of the 120-word short pieces posted on the home page of our website that are changed every few days so that people can see it changes (as has been called for).
Here’s Musk endorsing the view that capitalism is morally right. No mention of a “universal high income” but his views in general tend to be a bit eclectic.
This book is an excellent explanation of why capitalism is not just successful, but morally right, especially chapter 4 https://t.co/SZuiGRu5Va

If you are on spintcom you can see it there in the files section.
Alternatively, email Head Office and we can send you an electronic copy.
Yes, with two wars going on everybody has forgotten about that. I wonder if anybody has calculated what they are contributing to global warming. Those aircraft with their missiles must be burning up quite a bit of fuel.
Don’t forget the pipelines? This video, made by someone in Damascus, while it doesn’t explain the Israeli-Gaza War could be taken into account as a contribution to understanding why the US and the “West” are so supportive of Israel and tolerant of its atrocities. In any event, it’s a much more plausible explanation than that Israel is a “liberal democracy” or guilt about what happened to the Jews in Europe in Ww2.
The justifications for Israel slaughtering civilians in pursuit of a “just” cause brings out some interesting historical facts. Here’s one from a letter in today’s Times.:
“In June 1944 the Allies launched an invasion of Normandy, an area comparable with that of Gaza, aimed at overcoming and driving out the occupying forces of Nazi Germany. In the process up to 20,000 French civilians, many of them children and the elderly, were killed in collateral damage, almost all of which was caused by the British and American bombing and shelling of centres of population such as Caen.”
I didn’t know that, did any of you? Up to twenty thousand slaughtered ! So, it’s ok for the Israeli army to do the same and have a free hand to reach the same figure (as they may well by the time they’ve finished)? What sort of warped logic is that?
Meanwhile a Tory MP has been given the boot from a junior government position for letting his humanity get the better of him by supporting a stop to the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza.
Starmer of course would never do that as he likes to be seen behaving like a responsible prime minister of UK PLC. Like Sunak. Spot the difference if you can.
Put to the comrade who drafted the leaflet they comment:
“Yes, they ‘claim’ they are not ‘anti-semitic’, and the tone and the terms of their 2017 charter may be different from their 1988 one. But their deeds – and other of their words – still show them as manifestly anti-semitic. Apart from the fact that Jews are demonised in the official school curriculum and Hamas leaflets describe them as ‘bloodsuckers’, ‘brothers of apes’, and ‘human pigs’ and that ‘deceit and usury are stamped in their nature’, can we really interpret the scenes of raped, brutalised women being paraded across Gaza by gleeful militants and hooted at by cheering crowds as anything but a manifestation of those characterisations? It manifests as the kind of anti-semitism practised by the nazis. Note too by the way that even now they are claiming that their slaughter of people at the ‘rave’ took place because they mistakenly thought that those attending were involved in military manoeuvres. So it would be straining all credibility and utterly naive of us to accept at face value Hamas’s ‘formal’ statements and in particular the one that they are anti-zionist and not anti-semitic.”
It’s on the front page of our website here:
“Thing is, if they made the ball round, they could kick it properly and they wouldn’t have to pick it up.”
I think that in Ireland they play a sort of rugby with a round ball called Gaelic football. I suppose their anthem might be “The Merry Ploughboy” whose chorus is;
“And were all off to Dublin in the green
Where the helmets glisten in the sun
Where the bay’nets clash and rifles crash
To the echo of the thompson gun.”Certainly not last night of the proms stuff. At least not in London. Don’t know about Dublin except in pubs there.
So Labour’s shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has been exposed as a common plagiarist. That’s for a book she wrote, but that seems to be her stock-in-trade.
She has also plagiarised previous Chancellors’ economic policy of fiscal conservatism. If she ever gets the job expect her to copy passages from their speeches about fiscal restraints, tighten your belts, jam tomorrow, we can’t afford that, don’t ask for higher wages, etc, etc.
And some people still seem to think that a Labour government would be — could be — any different from a Tory one or, for that matter, from all previous Labour ones.
