McDonnell's enthusiasm for Co-Operative mutual satisfaction may be inspired by this assessment by The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/nov/23/coop-scandal-paul-flowers-mutual-societies
"On 13 November an acquaintance of Flowers phoned the news desk of the Mail on Sunday, offering a trove of information on the Methodist minister-turned-councillor-turned-banker. Four days later the paper published, under the eye-grabbing headline "Crystal Meth Shame of Bank Chief", three pages of allegations, including incriminating text messages and video footage, reporting on purchases of Class A substances ranging from cocaine to ketamine and his hopes for a "drug-fuelled gay orgy".

Apparently imperialism is fine, but only in the pursuit of leftist goals like those of the LGBTQII++ lobby, in a mostly Christian nation

MMB98 has been confirmed repeatedly by other work in the twenty years since it was published.

No, that is rubbish, being confirmed by other rubbish, to be rubbish. If Climate Science had some honest evidence to support Mann's bent stick, there would have been no need for debate, or for Mann to delay the court case he instigated.
Does the "other work" include Gergis 2016? Phil Clarke certainly thought so, based on what he was told to believe. As Gergis 2016 was based on deceit, what does it, and the "other work" repeatedly confirm?
What was the purpose of Peer Reviewing Gergis 2016? It just provides repeated confirmation of the incompetence and unreliability of Climate Science.
As Climate Science cannot self correct, it is not a Science.
Climate Science cannot survive if it refuses to ditch The Stick.
Donald Trump denounced the fraud/fake/hoax of the dodgy dossier and Climate Science. Trump has been proved 100% correct so far, with 97% of Climate Scientists 100% wrong.

Looks like Dianne Abbott might be moonlighting as an accountant for Best For Britain
George gave us £700K not £400K
I'd repeat my observation from earlier - nobody seems particularly keen to volunteer the timeline for donations....

Cooperative model can work - John Lewis - if it is run as a business whose aim is to make a profit employees share.
As soon as it is non-profit, or state-owned/backed employee interests come first, incentives to provide what customers want vanish.
McTerrorist wants the latter

So McDonnell says Cooperative model is the way to run big orgs
Bet he's got the execs from Coop-bank limbering up
... since they're unemployed now, since they ran the bank into the ground.
...............Will Paul Flowers be McDonell's top choice ?

Hate Crime Awareness Week. - Madness knows no bounds.
Real fatal crime up again, police priority:
Heralding the start of the weeklong campaign, Detective Superintendent Richie Salter of Merseyside Police said forces are worried that not enough people are coming forward to report hate crime, explaining that officers “see a reduction in reports of hate crime at this time of year”.“This may in part be down to a decrease in the number of incidents, but we suspect part of the reason may be that – for whatever reason – victims feel less inclined to report incidents at this time of year,” he said, urging potential victims to “come forward and tell us rather than suffer in silence”
Time of year? Too cold/dark to report online an alleged hate crime? Police Farce auditioning for BBC "Comedy"?
Hmm, perhaps the fake hate crime meme accusers have moved on to #metoo etc. It's becoming like the "not enough rape victims", we are now seeing the repugnant consequences of that policy.
Mr Plod, time to leave comfy warm office and go outside and uphold law by Preventing Crime.

I drop by occasionally, but the interesting people I debated the science with have all gone.
My reading list is too long already.
MMB98 has been confirmed repeatedly by other work in the twenty years since it was published. A book whose title denies the scientific evidence is a low priority since its content is unlikely to be worth the effort.

Established Science?
Paul Kench said “We tend to think of Pacific atolls as static landforms that will simply be inundated as sea levels rise, but there is growing evidence these islands are geologically dynamic and are constantly changing,”
We think blah? Nope, I didn't - coral atolls are dynamic, plus plate tectonics move Pacific islands down as they move east. Established [Global Warming] Science is snake oil.

If it includes faked-up Climate Science that you have already decided to believe, why not discard it? You might learn something.
