Starmer appears to be rolling out precisely the same weaponizing of anti-semitism that Trump used in order to crush universities. Labour really is a masterclass in using Jewish people as political human shields.05 May 2026 12:31 +0000at://did:plc:osds3kl6phao2brfco2mb2xe/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml46wfl5nc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nromanek.bsky.social/post/3ml3llqxqzs2pThe Odyssey is one of my favorite books, because it’s about a middle-aged man who thinks he’s smarter than he is getting his ego crushed so he becomes a responsible husband.

Lucas was at heart an experimental filmmaker. You kids have no idea how effin weird the original Star Wars was when it came out - a surrealist box office hit.
