Not a betting person, but a welcher man.

@KimSJ It seems that my use of the past tense is an error. Miller is still at it today.

Many of Miller's early academic defenders have apologised, and stated that he is an antisemite. Miller is is even too extreme for the Socialist Workers Party, who have declared his statements to be antisemitic.

England's disgraced former finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng to stand down as an MP at the next general election.

Labour MP Jess Phillips reacted: "Kwasi Kwarteng made everyone’s mortgages rise, his tenure as chancellor a dangerous embarrassment. I was stood next to him when I received news that my cat had been hit by a car and forever this association for which he is (as best I know) blameless is what I associate with him."

@KimSJ The story goes back a long way on the twitters. Miller had a habit of explicitly employing antisemitic tropes, with accusations that Jews were overrepresented in public life and being in control. He also cited and retweeted folk who are openly nazi/white supremacist. Miller built up a loyal following on antisocial media, and used it as a weapon to pile on critics.

"UK professor suffered discrimination due to anti-Zionist beliefs, tribunal rules"

"The tribunal ruled any award would be reduced by half because the claimant’s dismissal was caused or contributed to by his own actions'."

Award him a token Reichsmark, and tell this acid-dribbling "anti-Zionist" and promoter of Nazis to fuck off back to the obscurity where he belongs.

@Lazarou Oh yes.

"British and Irish governments play down Sinn Féin’s calls for united Ireland"

Or, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and the soon-to-be-evicted tenant of Number 10 are shit-scared of Irish voters. Not just Sinn Féin.

Still, onwards to a 32 county Ireland it is. Star Trek predicted it would happen in 2024, so the feckers had better get a move on.

I'm not convinced that Desmond Swayne has thought this one through.

"Huge atom-smasher bid to find missing 95% of Universe"

Given the astronomical sums routinely wasted by governments on failed projects, a cynic might suggest that €20bn on a shiny new particle accelerator is worth a punt. But many disagree, physicists among them.
