European Parliament election

lundi 20 mai 2019 à 02:00

Britons are using the European Parliament election as a proxy to express their opinion about whether the UK should leave the EU.

What a foolish way to vote! That is the one major political decision affecting the UK over which the people elected to the European Parliament will have absolutely no say.

If the UK does remain in the EU, those elected as MEPs will participate in many important decisions. Don't Britons care how their representatives will approach the issues they can really affect?

If I were a citizen of the EU, I expect I would vote Green or Pirate for the European Parliament.

Replacing EU treaties

dimanche 19 mai 2019 à 02:00

Mélenchon, the leader of what remains of France's left, calls for replacing the EU treaties that impose neoliberalism.

I support this.

Regulating surveillance platforms

dimanche 19 mai 2019 à 02:00

The point where Senator Warren's plan to "break up" surveillance platforms falls short is when she proposes a "level playing field" for the competition to surveil us.

To say "may the best corporation win" in surveilling us is to get distracted from the real issue. What we need is to stop anyone from playing that game.

Tauqir Sharif

dimanche 19 mai 2019 à 02:00

The UK revoked Tauqir Sharif's citizenship for going to Syria and setting up a noted humanitarian aid organization.

As usual, the government refuses to show him justification, let alone give him a trial so he can confront them in court. That adds up to two separate injustices: exiling a citizen, and punishment without trial.

His daughter, born a UK citizen too, has been effectively denied citizenship too because he is not permitted to apply for a passport for her.
