It takes quite a lot to surprise me when it comes the the US, apartheid state, the powers that be but I have to say the completely merciless crushing of peaceful student protest in this case and the associated bare-facedly dishonest reporting of it has really been an eye-opener.
On a side note, I was walking past a TV earlier today, about middayish, and the BBC was covering the pigs taking down the UCLA encampment and the stuido presenter was asking the on the ground reporter, "Does there seem to be much of a conversation among the students about the horrors of October the seventh and what Hamas did and the nuances of this situation?" (paraphrased somewhat but not bloody much). Utterly incredible although in this case, not surprising.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
