RT @tedcruz: The full story of USAID funding Hamas is vast, and much of it was done in secret. Before and after October 7, USAID flowed unc…

@AlexFinnX He's wasting his money. This at my twelfth attempt 😓😓😓

#ChatGPT Plus is a moron. This is now my twelfth attempt to get a small round table with 3 chairs

RT @CherylWroteIt: So many idiots having a meltdown and screaming “ethnic cleansing” at the simple merciful idea of repatriation of Gazans…

@runthinkwrite Of course. But is also about what words ‘mean’. If we follow Wittgenstein as we of course should, the usage of words like man and woman is beyond debate.

@InvertTheWing Then they'll be injured again

@Goosey30111568 Never mind that. What was the result?

@procurementfile @WokeWaste Classic example of #junkscience leaping into bed with #junkdiplomacy

@PhysInHistory AK47

@LeilaniDowding @procurementfile The thing to understand is that the ‘development’ budget was bloated by Gordon Brown and just keeps bloating. They can’t spend it without staggering waste and pay-offs to powerful consulting firms. It needs to be shut down and restarted on sensible principles

@dlacalle_IA The problem is not ‘bureaucracy’. It’s socialism as practised by all the main political parties now. The insane idea that dealing with complexity means more state-imposed rules and ever-more criminal offences.

@Marloh_R Who’s Kardashian?

@RIKKISCHLOTT First class analysis. You can’t have a basis for measuring the success of DEI without a measurement of its failure #Wittgenstein

@bob__spurs We still didn't win anything

@Ed_Miliband "This strange repetitive exhortatory language is reminiscent of the communist apparatchik addressing the workers. He hectors them to even greater efforts to achieve socialist productivity. They stare blankly at him, lost in the disappointed emptiness of their blighted lives"

I'd forgotten all about this awesome @ThePBPodcast episode. Interested in #Bosnia or peacebuilding in general? This is awesome! And it's still as relevant now as it was a few years ago when it was recorded

@FloraBr79074860 @coltnessbob @CraigMurrayOrg Meanwhile Yugo cars with Belgrade numberplates were being pushed into the sea in Croatia 🫠🫠 Please understand that there were complex parallel realities. Most 'ordinary' folks were happy enough. But they were prone to radical manipulation by their local communist leaders

@FloraBr79074860 @coltnessbob @CraigMurrayOrg Anyone wanting to hear my very voice on all this can go here: "Please enjoy this episode. Charles Crawford is an amazingly bright and interesting teller of a complicated and relevant tale for those interested in creating a more peaceful world"

@WokeWaste The point about such contracts is that most of the money does NOT go to the hapless interpreters. It goes to the big firms that organise interpreters and scoop off vast sums of money to do that. Totally odious. See also much of Whitehall's training budget

@FloraBr79074860 @coltnessbob @CraigMurrayOrg It's like anywhere else. If your politics emphasise divisions and differences you create problems. Of you emphasise what you share and have in common, everything is much easier. See the disaster of 'multi-culturalism' that plays on differences and creates mass grievance
