Finally put together another grocery delivery for Sunday, and couldn’t resist adding this when I saw it.
It may or may not be very good, but I haven’t had any cheesecake I didn’t make myself since like 2005. Which means maybe 3 times total 😅
The ingredients sounded reasonable, at least, so we’ll see.
I’m still pretty pissed off that I couldn’t put in a Sainsbury’s order this time, because I specifically wanted a few things from there. So, I messed up trying to log in, and they won’t unlock the account without a voice call 😬 Guess I may be setting up a new account.
The supposed different “generations” i.e. millennials/Gen X/boomers etc is just liberalism’s attempt to replace class analysis by framing the different generations as coherent classes with different interests. It conveniently fails to mention that there are working class & ruling class people in all generations.
By making all ppl of a certain age responsible for inflation & higher cost of living or w/e, the responsibility of the ruling class is obscured, to the detriment of the working class & to the benefit of the ruling class.
Most of the boomers I know are mushy liberal ex hippies at the very least.
The whole idea that “the boomers did it” without specifying which ones has always made me ?????
Also like… specifically on the issue of “taking care of this silver morass of cranky old farts is hard when our economy sucks” at least
Part of the problem is their parents gleefully fucking like bunnies after a war
Join the Legal Fight to Stop an Undercover Policing Inquiry Whitewash by Undercover Policing Inquiry non-police, non-state core participants
Undercover Policing Inquiry non-police, non-state core participantsWe are three victims of undercover policing who have had their lives turned upside down and are demanding justice.
Imagine you are in a five-year relationship with a man you believe you will spend the rest of your life with when he suddenly vanishes into thin air and you discover later he was an undercover police officer spying on you…
Imagine your nearest and dearest was arrested and died as a result of excessive force by the police and that you campaigned for justice – then imagine you discover one of the supporters in your group was a police spy…
These things happened and many other extraordinary stories involving vast sums of tax payers’ money being spent by the state to spy on people exercising their democratic rights.
We are three core participants in the undercover police inquiry. We, like the many others spied on, have had our lives thrown into disarray by the long-term policy of institutional spying employed by police forces around the country.
Our fear is that if it continues in its current trajectory that the Undercover Policing Inquiry will be a whitewash. We have been forced to initiate a legal challenge to the Home Secretary’s decision to refuse to appoint a panel with the skill and diversity required. Our aim is to restore public confidence in the Undercover Policing Inquiry and its ability to get to the truth. Join us by contributing now and sharing this page on social media.
The time for action is now. The urgency is that the legal proceedings to challenge this decision need to be launched by 5 July
Who is bringing the case?
Patricia Armani da Silva, a cousin of Jean Charles de Menezes, the young, innocent Brazilian man, who was gunned down at Stockwell tube station on 22 July 2005 by police officers in a botched surveillance operation after he was wrongly deemed to be one of the fugitives involved in failed bombing attempts the previous day. A family justice campaign was founded by the friends and family of Jean Charles to find out the truth about his death, to bring those responsible to justice and to campaign to end the police ‘shoot to kill’ policy and prevent a similar tragedy happening again. Over the next decade, the family endured the stress of two IPCC complaint investigations, an inquest, a civil claim, a further complaint and two legal challenges in their quest for justice for their loved one. In 2014, they were devastated to learn from Operation Herne that their justice campaign had been spied upon by undercover police. They demand to know why and will not be denied justice again.
‘Jessica’ (a pseudonym) was an, inexperienced, vulnerable 19 year old girl with a love of animals. Her first real sexual relationship was, she believed, with a 24 year old, socially awkward, fellow animal rights activist who shared her values. Last year she found out that he was a 32 year old, married, undercover police officer, tasked by his senior officers to spy on her and her friends. Jessica would never have consented to sex or intimacy if she had known his real identity.. She feels violated and humiliated. She wants to know the truth about his deployment and his relationship with her, particularly whether her clear vulnerability made her easy prey.
John Burke-Monerville’s 19 year old son, Trevor, was held at Stoke Newington police station in 1987 during which time his family believe he was beaten and in consequence suffered brain damage. A Justice for Trevor campaign was mounted, supported by the Hackney Community Defence Association. Trevor and members of his family were thereafter harassed by the police. Tragically, Trevor and his brother were murdered in separate incidents years apart. No one was prosecuted for the murders because, the family believe, of failures in the police investigation. Mr Burke- Monerville has learned that the justice campaign meetings were subject to surveillance by the SDS.
How much are we raising and why?
We need to raise £5,000 to cover the initial stages of the application for this crucial step to challenge the refusal to appoint a diverse panel. If the court grants permission for the case, we will then need to raise a further £50,000 to cover the costs of a full Judicial Review. Any money left will go to support other legal activity surrounding the Inquiry.
We want to properly participate in this Inquiry. We want it to succeed. We want it to be transparent and fair. We feel that we have no option but to issue a legal challenge now
