Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Britain’s Roof Crumbling Down

Collapsing school buildings has exposed how the Tories failed

It's the most obvious example of the reckless & self-defeating approach taken by the Tories

Since 2010 Tories have cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third

Still waiting for #DanWootton to get his expensive lawyers to sue #bylinetimes. Just saying...

In case you missed it, here’s my opening article for Bylines Cymru, The Hays Code, a strict form of censorship, the first in a series about the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Any #jigsaw lovers out there who would like one of these thousand piece ones? I have three to give away - pix of jigsaw completed, so you know there’s no missing pieces. I’ll mail to anywhere in Ireland or England/Scotland/Wales. They are all roughly the same size [50x70].
All I ask is you donate to either your local #foodbank or to #Bylinetimes Description is on each picture.
Put your request under here; and I’ll DM you my email for your address

Here’s a link to #BylineTimes if you wish to support their amazing work, exposing #DanWootton and others.

When an individual with an estimated net worth of £5 million, not including his monies from newspapers and GBNews… sets up a not ring-fenced crowdfunder and people donate almost £25K to it, you really have to wonder how stupid, stupid people really can be. 🤦‍♀️. The people that DO need support are those exposing the grift, the bullying, the hush monies. #BylineTimes Never #DanWootton

I subscribe to the #BylineTimes and though I absolutely love it's journalism, it's news behind the news, it's "what the papers aren't saying" style, I can only read it in short bursts as it's deeply depressing to know the amount of chronic and increasing corruption there is in the UK at all the highest levels.

Delighted to say that Byline Times have accepted my article about the Hays Code and its impact on Golden Age movies. I look forward to sharing the article with you when Byline Times publishes it 🙂

Blatant Lies and Subtle Untruths about russia’s War in Ukraine

What are #tankies, #vatniks, and ‘useful idiots’, and why do they deride traumatised Ukrainians as warmongers and Nazis?

By Paul Niland

Intro

For the majority of the world, the war in #Ukraine is a pretty black-and-white issue. Perhaps few wars in recent history have ever been more clearly a case of good and evil, right against wrong

There rarely is. And of course they are very quiet about Johnson and the Tory party’s links with Russian Oligarchs (covered in Byline Time, Tortoise and Channel4)

Prince Harry Takes a Stand for Us All #news #BylineTimes

“Democracy fails when your press fails to scrutinise and hold the government accountable, and instead choose to get into bed with them so they can ensure the status quo… The country and the British public deserve to know… We will be better off for it.”

Imagine an online space where you could go to not only receive the latest news about actions in your locality, but also share information about campaigns or events – without driving more traffic to the digital capitalists of Facebook and Twitter, who continue to ban anti-fascists.

Those who recall #IndyMedia will not only be familiar with the concept, but also lament its lack of editorial oversight and eventual collapse under the weight of conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism that have no place in antifascist media.

Last year, the #IWW celebrated writers at The Canary overthrowing management and becoming a workers’ co-operative. But even now, much like the #BylineTimes (a private company with directors), #TheCanary still faces a battle for online clicks within the commercial landscape.

It’s useful to remember that the term “freedom of the press” did not originally mean the media marketplace, but literally the freedom to publish using a printing press: #CitizenJournalism, based on the spirit of #MutualAid.

It is mutual aid that inspired the name of France’s #MutuNetwork that today has over a dozen regional websites in not just #France, but also #Switzerland and #Austria, reporting on striking workers, occupying students, and other local struggles, operated in a non-hierarchical but also non-commercial way – true citizen journalism, with a set of agreed standards.

Several of us media activists have started to discuss how we could develop Local Autonomous Media (or #LoAM) in the UK after hearing about the success of #Mutu. We’ve set up chat groups and even held Jitsi meetings online with Mutu contributors in Switzerland. And we’re looking to set in place the building blocks to create something similar in the UK.

If you’re interested, contact me or email loam at riseup dot net.
