Not surprising, I bet that Starmer hopes (as Trump does) that the latest Middle East ‘intervention’ will distract people.

"Senate censures Pauline Hanson over Muslim comments"
"The Senate has voted 36 to 17 to censure Pauline Hanson over her comments about Muslim Australians" while GE-Albanese and GE-Wong actively support DT's illegal war to kill Muslims in Iran..
Oh the Two-Faced #Complicity!
(*and no I don't support Hanson or GE-Albanese or GE-Wong, just calling out their corrupt bullsh!t).

"Australia’s timid response to the US and Israel’s attack on Iran risks being seen as complicity"
Hmm, let's see, GE-Labor have thus far:
- Invited an Active Genocidist in for tours and wined & dined them.
- Weaponised 'event' laws to brutalise rightful protestors against genocide to the point of breaking their spines.
- Thrown out all environmental law to gift rare earth minerals to the DT Regime who is providing genocidal-israel with their weaponry.
- Has backed and supported genocidal-israel and the DT Regime at every opportunity.
_YUP_ that is 100% verified #Complicity, and if some Australians STILL stupidly choose to support GE-Labor & ignore all of these atrocities then THEY are complicit, too.
Israel is a Terrorist State.
GE-Labor is a Terrorist Party.
GE-Albanese has made a massive shift to the Far-Right and not a single Australian voted for this.

The BBC running damage control on its own broadcast is wild to witness. The most egregious part of the affair to me is that no one from BAFTA or the BBC even bothered to apologize to Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo when they got off the stage, let alone tell *them* what was going to be done about it. There was no effort to bring the three people involved together for resolution at the time of the incident, nothing.
But the other part of this that just grates on me with every article is the BBC trying to defend itself by saying “that another racial slur had been edited out of the broadcast.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4g2ldegdwo
Are they seriously patting themselves on the back for getting something right.... oh but wait... they don't actually identify what that "racial slur” was.
The only thing I have been able to find mention of that was also removed from the broadcast was someone shouting:
Free Palestine! (uttered by a black man... but i digress)
(https://variety.com/2026/film/awards/bbc-cuts-free-palestine-akinola-davies-jr-baftas-speech-1236670099/)
Now... I've consulted Oxford Dictionary. And from every entry on the page for "slur”(https://www.oed.com/dictionary/slur_n3?tab=meaning_and_use#22326803
It refers to a term that applies to, identifies and denigrates an individual person or persons directly. I cannot think of any racial slur that does not follow this pattern. It is generally an adjective or a noun, or an adjective morphed into a noun. It's not a statement, like "Free Palestine” which is a combination of two common and clear words into a statement or rallying cry.
I do not understand in the least how this can be construed as a “racial slur” against any group at all on anywhere near the same level as the n-word.
A direct or indirect statement that might be controversial to a person can be a 'slur’ in a very broad sense, sure, but there has to also be a common understanding here of a ladder of harm.
“Eat Mushy Peas!” might be offensive to people who prefer raw carrots. They might even consider it a “slur”. But this would be very different from calling said raw carrot eaters the n word.
Definitions of "Slur” in OED:
"1.a. 1609–A deliberate slight; an expression or suggestion of disparagement or reproof.”
"1888 A district would think it a slur to be told that it ought to look beyond its own borders for a representative.”
"1888 I have tried faithfully to furnish you with all the slang, and slurs of any note in use at the present time.”
"2022 [She] swore up and down she wasn’t racist till she got mad at me this one time, then it was every racial slur in the book, come outta her mouth.”
Will the BBC be editing out any 'outbursts" of the word "Genocide" if uttered by a person who may also support a Free Palestine?
It seems that these days common language from UN resolutions (Palestine) and International Law (Genocide) are being treated as if they are a “racial slur” and I deeply question the moral and factual basis for this.
It smells more like a disinformation operation.

Truly, I live in dark times!
The guileless word is folly. A smooth forehead
Suggests insensitivity. The man who laughs
Has simply not yet had
The terrible news.
–
What kind of times are they, when
A talk about trees is almost a crime
Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
That man there calmly crossing the street
Is already perhaps beyond the reach of his friends
Who are in need?
[Wirklich, ich lebe in finsteren Zeiten!
Das arglose Wort ist töricht. Eine glatte Stirn
Deutet auf Unempfindlichkeit hin. Der Lachende
Hat die furchtbare Nachricht
Nur noch nicht empfangen.
–
Was sind das für Zeiten, wo
Ein Gespräch über Bäume fast ein Verbrechen ist
Weil es ein Schweigen über so viele Untaten einschließt!
Der dort ruhig über die Straße geht
Ist wohl nicht mehr erreichbar für seine Freunde
Die in Not sind?]

I can't say that #honesty is going wide again. These are true statements imo. But also in my opinion, I want to say that there were always #degrees #of #complicity. That has to be acknowledged also, otherwise we are on a rinse and repeat cycle instead of those new clothes.

»“Unfortunately, there is a tendency, and it is not only Trump’s, to expect that annexation will happen in a pompous ceremony with a ribbon-cutting and historical declarations,” Sfard said. “The truth is that annexation can happen bureaucratically, in windowless offices, in a supposedly boring manner.”«
Lest we forget:
“The genocide to eliminate Gazans was first argued-for in 2003 by Uri Elitser, a speechwriter for #Netanyahu and close political adviser to him, but it wasn’t aimed to eliminate ONLY Gazans; it was aimed to eliminate ALL Palestinians”
