This was going to be a piece on the EHRC report into anti-semitism within the Labour party. If I was attempting to be a super duper up to the minute journalist then it probably should be but instead I’m just some guy who likes to spout his limited opinion on various things on a daily basis. Tomorrow I have a long journey to Athens and as there is so much stuff coming out on this purge I would like to digest it first. Also, and more importantly, far more important than any of this power politics nonsense which I’ll get myself worked up about tomorrow and a day late, is an article in The Independent that says scientists “have found a “rogue” planet floating through our galaxy, untethered to any sun”.
What the fuck?! What the actual fuck?!! And how the actual fuck is something like this not a bigger story. Apparently it is the smallest rogue world ever found and has a mass somewhere between Earth and Mars. There are rogue worlds?! What the…you get the point. The universe is incredible and not just because I’m about to watch the last two episodes of Battlestar Galactica. I always thought planets revolved around a sun but there appears to be loads just floating around freely. It does beg the question though, what if it’s a Death Star? It probably isn’t but saying it definitely isn’t is surely a rational or logical impossibility. We exert so much energy arguing and worrying over the most stupid little things and there’s planets, which haven’t been proven not to be Death Stars, just floating around out there. In all seriousness though, why do we limit the possibilities of existence when we’re constantly proving how little we actually know. Socrates got it, he understood.
It doesn’t take away from the fact Keir Starmer isn’t just another establishment stooge doing other people’s dirty work. He’s a total prick let’s be honest. This whole attack on Jeremy Corbyn is incredible to observe. Just step back from it, detach yourself and observe it objectively. He challenged real power and they’re destroying him. You can see the mechanisms grinding away, the people and institutions involved. This is the type of thing you see on some television series. Yet this is real life and it’s absolutely blatant. It’s fascinating, it’s horrifying. It does show how exposed they are in this modern day world with the internet. Won’t mean a lot though when this new planet settles in our orbit and we discover we’ve got neighbours. I wonder how quickly Starmer will decide to worship his new masters.
