Happy World Goth Day! Here’s an old throwback picture for all the freaks out there 🖤
To be honest it's very helpful to me personally that so many of my critics, like yourself, are mad cranks that are not worth listening to in any way, shape or form.
Nothing I said in that four year period is as unhinged as calling the entire Labour Party a "racist, genocidal cesspit". Again, you guys LOVE thunderous denunciations liket this, what you HATED was being on the receiving end of it because of your refusal to accept "Assad=bad" as the standard line.
"a silly tweet" It was years and years worth of constant boiled piss, in which you basically attacked anyone in the British press who dared to say "we should not turn a blind eye to these war crimes"
This image would simply not exist if Putin had succeeded in his military ambitions in Syria and Ukraine. This is a moment that only exists in spite of him and in defiance of him, regardless of how conciliatory Damascus has been towards Moscow since December 8th 2024.
Zelenskyy is only the second head of state to visit Damascus after the Emir of Qatar, and for Ahmed Al-Sharaa to be hosting him in the same palace that Assad hosted Putin in many times is an image in and of itself that carries political significance.
A symbolic diplomatic moment for Syria and Ukraine - Russia repeatedly tried to kill both of these men, and it is well known now that Ukraine established relations with HTS prior to Operation Deterrence of Aggression. Zelenskyy one of the first world leaders to visit Damascus.
15 years ago today, Syrian revolutionaries took to the streets for the first time & changed the course of history. They were abandoned, betrayed & demonised & yet they still emerged from 14 years of civil war victoriously. Glory to the Syrian revolution. Glory to her martyrs.

I am devastated to learn that my dear friend, my brother in arms, Paul Conroy has gone on to the next life. He was one of the bravest men I have ever known. I can barely believe it, we only spoke yesterday. His loss will be felt profoundly by us all. Rest in peace @reflextv.bsky.social
Four years ago, in the early hours of the morning driving back to my apartment.
With the giant that is the Mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko, interview with TVP World coming soon.
10 years ago today for Choose Love delivering our crowdfunded ambulances to the White Helmets, what an incredible journey both charities have been on in that time, and it was the honour of a lifetime to have been involved in both.
Jeremy Corbyn’s “Peace and Justice Project” have just memoryholed Noam Chomsky out of existence and purged mentions of him from their website.
I’ve been called a retard on the other place by a literal biology professor
One year ago today in Bashar al-Assad’s former palace. The day the promise I made to myself in 2011 came true.
Three days later I would return to Damascus for the first time in more than 20 years.
