    You know what? As someone who grew up poor, on reflection, I didn’t mind having to wear a school uniform to school. The peer – that pun is dedicated to the late, great SPGBer Eddie Grant – pressure of having to have the right gear or the latest trainers would have been insufferable.

    I’m sure I’m in a minority on the forum with that point of view.

    Sadly a young boy has lost his life because he owned a much desired designer “labelled” coat.
    His death has been hijacketed by the usual suspects (racist bigots). As if his death wasn’t tragic enough.

    I didn’t say it was the only reason for war, in this instance it’s about Oil.

    Venezuela has not been invaded! Why has the US imposed economic sanctions on Venezuela? Ostensibly, Venezuela nationalised its oil industry (calling itself socialist and it “socialism”) and believed that it could trade its oil for goods and services, getting around Bretton Woods, to avoid being paid in US$. The $ which isn’t worth the paper it is printed on.
    Worthless, since the US ended the link with the gold standard and exchange of the US dollar, for gold.

    The US has imposed sanctions on countries that have tried to get around the Bretton Woods Agreement. Using a number of reasons, sighting Venezuela for ousting its rightful Leader in a ‘socialist’ coup.
    If any Country is of the belief that they can get around trading Oil in anything other than the US$, it will face the full wrath of (US) economic sanctions. It won’t be the US that tanks

    The law enforcement official seems more sympathetic towards the killer, than the victims.
    Most people have bad days.
    Most people don’t kill 8 victims when they have a bad day.

    The link is a very long read 🥵

    These Metropolitan Police covet (cypher) cops. Jumping on Facebook (more recently Tik Tok) videos that feature police officers “going about their business”.

    Who would say? “why are these people who were saying don’t blame all (Afro Caribbeans) because of a few but say it about police?”. Question who is blaming all because of a minority?
    Think we have the answer right here!
    Maybe cops should just stick to helping old ladies across the road, even if they don’t want to cross the road?

    On a more serious note. Pictures of a Metropolitan Police officer went viral on social media, because he was seen with his neck on a mans neck, known as the ‘choke hold’. I didn’t know he later died. There’s a ‘campaign’ #justice4mohamud. Seems his family have received no support whatsoever from authorities.

    Iraq was not invaded because they want to trade with Euros
    ———
    This may be deemed off topic.
    It was, but not openly. The Bretton Woods conference agreement established the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

    Venezuela tried to trade oil for food, with Mexico, this wasn’t part of US trade sanctions. The deal was for 200 million tons of food, which didn’t happen. As the US blacklisted the Mexican companies involved in the deal, which then collapsed, as it was a deal to trade in Venezuelan oil.
    Iran also wants to trade oil in Euros. US sanctions placed on Iran, are based on its Nuclear enrichment program, which Western governments fear is intended for developing the capability to produce nuclear weapons. Clearly the latter is a sop for the former.

    If Oil is traded in anything other than the petrodollar, the US economy would tank. The US, will use the threat of economic sanctions or impose economic sanctions, sighting the Bretton Woods Agreement (which ALL OPEC abide by) which gives the US total legitimacy.

    Allegations and stories of atrocities and human rights abuses have surfaced despite a government-imposed communications blackout.

    “The breadth and depth of human suffering in the Ethiopian region of Tigray is perfectly clear to humanitarian workers, human rights groups and the international diplomatic community,” writes Sky’s John Sparks
