new John Pilger piece:

The unsayable in Britain’s general election campaign is this. The causes of the Manchester atrocity, in which 22 mostly young people were murdered by a jihadist, are being suppressed to protect the secrets of British foreign policy.

Critical questions – such as why the security service MI5 maintained terrorist “assets” in Manchester and why the government did not warn the public of the threat in their midst – remain unanswered, deflected by the promise of an internal “review”.

The alleged suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, was part of an extremist group, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, that thrived in Manchester and was cultivated and used by MI5 for more than 20 years.

The LIFG is proscribed by Britain as a terrorist organisation which seeks a “hardline Islamic state” in Libya and “is part of the wider global Islamist extremist movement, as inspired by al-Qaida”.

The “smoking gun” is that when Theresa May was Home Secretary, LIFG jihadists were allowed to travel unhindered across Europe and encouraged to engage in “battle”: first to remove Mu’ammar Gadaffi in Libya, then to join al-Qaida affiliated groups in Syria.

Last year, the FBI reportedly placed Abedi on a “terrorist watch list” and warned MI5 that his group was looking for a “political target” in Britain. Why wasn’t he apprehended and the network around him prevented from planning and executing the atrocity on 22 May?

Pilger is credible for the most part, but Counterpunch lets itself down by frequently giving voice to conspiracy cranks.

He'd need to be published in a tabloid before the media would raise the story properly.

Counterpunch does publish some good stuff, and Patrick Cockburn has some of the best work I've ever read about the west's wars in the middle east (and he gets published in the Independent as well).

But yeah, they have a lot of contributers and just because Counterpunch publish it doesn't mean it's accurate, I always make sure I check the credibility of the writer in question.

But their heart is def in the right place.

I'm having to think about this right now as my gf wants me to move to Barcelona with her in the autumn, and on the one hand it would be amazing, but on the other hand the only Spanish I know is how to tell her I love her. Half considering taking an OU course in IT while working shity jobs for a couple years and just basically starting over, but it's a scary prospect.

This is what I'm doing but not in Spain.

Everyone said it was impossible. It wasn't. And next time, the PLP might remember that.

no gently caress that, if people like pissflaps had actually got behind corbyn from the start instead of being loving idiots for two years then labour could have done even better
