Peace without justice is surrender. A plan written by those in power, enforced by foreign hands, and dictated without the consent of the oppressed is not liberation; it is control. True peace comes only when the people of Gaza decide their own destiny #Gaza#JusticeFirst
@andyburnham You forgot to mention that this also happens when Taxes in this country are too high. If you really want to help stop taxing the people to death for Previous governments mismanagement of funds.
"Special relationship" update:
The US is officially keeping all its diesel to itself. Nothing says "best friends forever" quite like leaving the UK stranded at the petrol station with an empty tank and a polite wave. ๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ธโฝ๏ธ

You can turn your head, shut your eyes, and swear on whatever you hold dear that you donโt care, but that doesn't stop the world from turning, nor does it stop the oppressed from crying out for their freedom.
A man who closes his eyes to the injustice done to another man simply because it happens overseas is a man who fails to realize that the same machinery of oppression can just as easily be turned on him tomorrow.
