Started to grow my hair in March 2020 at the start of the first lockdown to donate to Little Princess Trust - finally set up my donation page, trying to raise money for Sefton Women's and Children's Aid in the process. All shares and donations appreciated

Carns is asked where the extra £ for defence should come from.

".. I think there are places, such as moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups"

Describing welfare as hand outs tells us all about Carns politics & who he wants to target - the sick, disabled, low paid, pensioners

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Trevor Philips is neither sharp nor fearless: he is one of many second-raters who are being given rapid promotion by Bari Weiss because of his long record of making hostile comments about Muslims (for which he was suspended by Labour, until Keir Starmer, who shares his views, cancelled the enquiry) as well for justifying Israel's mass-slaughter of Palestinians. On the contrary, there is now no quicker route to advancement than to espouse such prejudices and to air them in sink holes like the Telegraph

O pai dele era dono de uma mina de esmeralda na África do Sul durante o Apartheid (e usava de trabalho escravo).O avô dele, que foi o fundador do Partido Nazista do Canadá, se tornou colono da África do Sul após fugir do seu país de origem ao fim da 2 Guerra. Família de parasitas

Yes, the man who has hoarded more wealth than anyone in human history is telling us “don’t worry about money. You won’t need it. Everything’s fine”

Get me outta here 😂

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.

Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.

As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.

Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

Company greed is the reason why

Tells you everything 👇

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

That people trying to stop genocide are sentenced as terrorists is a hideous injustice.

But remember these words, too.

This country is headed to naked right-wing authoritarian rule.

This precedent will be used to lock up dissidents.

You've been warned.

Remember it.

Well I’m sure that will go well

Never mind under-16s, fucking politicians need to be banned from using disappearing messages.

There exists a permanent political class in the UK. If they're elected you can vote them out.
If appointed they can be disgraced.
But they never go away.

[Lunwi @lunwi75]

Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?

UK GOVERNMENT SACKED ITS OWN BORDER WATCHDOG

David Neal was the man the government hired to inspect UK borders and make sure they actually worked. He did exactly that. What he found was not good. He wrote it all up in official reports. The Home Office locked those reports in a drawer.

When he finally went to a newspaper to warn the public that private planes were landing in the UK with almost nobody checking who was on them, the Home Secretary James Cleverly @JamesCleverly fired him.

Here is what Neal actually found.

At London City Airport, only 21% of flights flagged as high risk were checked by immigration officers.

Not some of the time. As a yearly average.

He said it was a scandal and dangerous for the country.

The Home Office said he had the numbers wrong. Then they fired him.

At the moment he was sacked, the @HomeOffice was holding back 15 of his finished inspection reports. Some had been sitting there for 18 months without being shown to the public.

The agreed deadline for publishing them was eight weeks. Not one report met that deadline across his entire three years in the job.

When they finally released 13 of the reports, they chose to do it on the same afternoon that a separate major inquiry published its findings... Draw your own conclusions.

What was actually in those reports? Border control posts left with nobody manning them. Officers at e-passport gates described as distracted and without basic radios. The whole airport border operation rated as neither effective nor efficient.

Neal told MPs directly: I have been sacked for doing my job.

He also told @BBC the Home Office is dysfunctional and described senior officials rolling their eyes when he brought them his findings.

He said the government contacted him three separate times warning him not to speak publicly about the unpublished reports.

He had almost no other way to get the information out.

The people who fired him for raising border security concerns were the same people who spent years promising the public they had taken back control of the borders.

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during Holocaust. That's the level of tone-deaf we're witnessing

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.

This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.

Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

Whereas Israeli soldiers who participated in the genocide in Gaza.... are welcome.
