The internet will have to cope without me while I try to get on top of my parlous financial situation.
We seem to have passed peak satire at whichever point we passed peak truth.
I haz a serious dilemma.
Blair didn’t push all of us to apathy when he ignored the will of the people and took us to war in 2003. Many of us turned to anarchism, in utter disgust at the one party state the UK has effectively become since he dragged the Labour party to ‘the right’.
The EU referendum has opened up so many spurious debates it has tragically radicalised a few while hypnotising almost everybody else.

Nuit Debout website: nuitdebout.fr/globaldebout/en/ 00.25 Pheonix Rising roundup from Nuit Debout London – confirms TWO arrests earlier – for chalking on the pavement. linkis.com/blogspot.com/dui7l 23.06 Wow.

Imagine my shock when I logged into the Occupied Sun’s twitter account today to a notification declaring #NuitDebout is finished – over, dead and buried…
For me, one of the most exciting things about Nuit Debout is the debate it has restimulated around the problem of ‘identity politics’. Much like Occupy, the Indignados and the 15M before it, this latest global wave of change is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to shed their old, divisive and tribalistic political identities. To unite in common cause and create new paradigms together.
