If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
Pacifist grannies hold placards supporting Palestine Action while fascist thugs openly give Hitler salutes on the streets of Southampton. Guess which of them gets arrested on terrorism charges.
I am horrified that a car has been deliberately set alight outside the home of the family of Salma Yaqoob, a wonderful prominent anti-racist and peace campaigner in Birmingham.
I hope the police take this shocking incident seriously. Sending my solidarity to Salma & her family.
Sunak ending the convention of having ministers appear daily to answer questions on TV destroys his already battered promise to introduce more accountability. This is another step in the Brexitisation of British politics, the further avoidance of scrutiny by those we elect.
DeSantis was personally overseeing the worst year of torture at Gitmo. He went on to be the clean up operator for war crimes in Iraq. These atrocities should haunt him for the rest of his life. Excellent investigative work by @MikePrysner for @EyesLeftPod https://t.co/r3mg97QmQC
A tweet from from the Conservative party, shared by many Government ministers, claims the UK has signed new trade deals with more than 70 countries, worth over £800 billion
It is, of course, complete boll****
I first went eight years ago, March 2014, into Qatar’s labour camps to report on the appalling exploitation of migrant workers.
The conditions were terrible, akin to slavery.
Abuses aren’t limited to that regime but FIFA is complicit in World Cup sportswashing.
@twoht@F365 Good piece. It will be interesting to see how far the lure of the spectacle of 11 vs 11 (once it reaches full swing) can supplant the justifiable unease about the setting.
Astonishing scenes from #Iran. Protesters have burned down the house of Ruhollah Khomeini, the Islamic Republic’s founder.
The house has been a museum for the past 30 years. This is an attack in the essence of the republic itself.
Meet Simon Thompson, the CEO of Royal Mail. He earns £62,750 a month.
Because its a struggle getting by on just £1,500 a day after tax, he also got a £140,000 bonus this year.
Simon has cut posties pay in real terms.
Royal Mail makes profits of £758m, wants to ditch Saturday letter delivery.
I can remember when we had two deliveries a day, including Saturday, and local letters posted in the morning were delivered the same afternoon
Wonders of privatisation and silence of the regulators.
