+I wonder if under the Labour Party’s new disciplinary regime (backed up by the flawed IHRA definition of anti-Semitism) whether it would be OK for me to mention that in a detailed report the respected organisation Human Rights Watch has described Israel as an ‘apartheid state’ ? I am sure that discussion of this report will be banned in party meetings on the grounds that such meetings should be ‘safe and inclusive.’
+On climate change I’m afraid I probably fall under the category ‘doomster’ and have been for quite a long time. Being a doomster doesn’t necessarily make me a complete fatalist, but the difference between having grounds for optimism and simply hoping for the best deepens every day. I came across this graph in These graphics show how the world is racing to climate failure | Canada's National Observer: News & Analysis and it seems the more conferences on tackling climate change we have, the worse it gets. Carbon emissions from the use of fossil fuels have never been higher. As Faustus could have said to Mephistopheles, ‘things have never looked better.’
