Jewish actor seth rogen says As a Jew I've been fed lies about Israel my whole life

“They never told me that Palestinians lived there. Israel is ridiculous, illogical, and based on ethnic cleansing and genocide”

SERIOUS QUESTION: Do you ever really get overwhelmed by how our current reality is a genuine dystopian nightmare yet everyone still acts like it is completely normal ??

El político sionista Moshe Feiglin en el programa de noticias más visto de Israel:

"Como dijo Hitler: 'No puedo vivir si queda un solo judío', no podemos vivir aquí si queda un solo palestino en Gaza".

Lo admiten sin pudor alguno, el Sionismo es el nuevo Nazismo.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.

Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.

A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Many MPs are loudly demanding cuts to the benefits budget to fund defence. Have any of these advocates suggested cutting MPs’ own generous expenses, subsidies, pensions, perks & benefits first? Or is austerity only for everyone else?

The big question we should all be asking is why has Keir Starmer given Ukraine £21billion of OUR money whilst leaving our own armed forces depleted?

There should be an investigation into this.

His duty is to the UK

As I said, the propaganda against the triple lock is unrelenting. It’s just like the build up to the Iraq War.

This really worries me

A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood

But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one

I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x

One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency

Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home

He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E

He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor

As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit

If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't

I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system

This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal

My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption

A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus

It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad

Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention

Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do

The police chased Ronnie Briggs for 39 years for his part in the great train robbery. 2.3 million was stolen, the equivalent of 62.3 million today, 39 years for 63.3 million. Why aren’t the government and police arresting people for the billions stolen by fraud during Covid?

You are correct, compared to the minimum wage, the State Pension is a pittance. Pensioners still have outgoings, many still have rent to pay and mortgages. Pensioners do not get cheaper bills, food, fuel, council tax etc. Go and look elsewhere for your cuts.

Mehdi Hasan, "We have the Geneva Convention"

"We have International Humanitarian Law"

"We have the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court"

"We have these metrics that were built up over the years, by the UK and the US; they led the world in writing these documents, these conventions"

"The European Convention of Human Rights, which everyone on the British right wants to pull out of, it was written by British lawyers"

"Much of that architecture is now being burnt down to protect Netanyahu, it's kind of insane"

"When historians come back to write these history books, it will be amazing to see how these laws, these conventions, they survived genocides, they survived some of the worst post war era conflicts"

"But they couldn't survive Gaza"

There is a rule in Florence that has not been broken in over five hundred years: nothing in the city may be built taller than a dome finished in 1436.

The dome belongs to the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and it is the work of Filippo Brunelleschi.

When you look at a photograph of Florence and notice that its skyline seems strangely, impossibly intact, you are not imagining it...

The city has protected that view, by custom and by law, since the Renaissance. To this day, no building in Florence is permitted to rise higher than the cupola.

What it guards is one of the most astonishing structures ever built. When Brunelleschi began in 1420, no one in Europe knew how to raise a dome that wide. The technology had been lost with the Romans. The cathedral had stood for decades with a hole in its roof, because the span was considered impossible to cover, and the city had essentially gambled that someone would one day work out how.

Brunelleschi built it without the wooden scaffolding everyone assumed was necessary, laying over four million bricks in a self-supporting double shell, one dome inside another, in a herringbone pattern that let each ring hold itself up as it rose.

Six centuries later, it remains the largest masonry dome in the world. Nothing built since, in brick and stone, has surpassed it.

The Italian director Franco Zeffirelli, who was born in Florence, once explained what that means to him. "When I feel depression creeping in," he said, "I return to Florence to gaze at Brunelleschi's dome. If human genius was able to achieve something so great, then I too can and must try to create, to act, to live."

That is what a skyline can be when a city decides that beauty is worth protecting...

While Gaudí became the face of Barcelona’, his teacher Lluís Domènech i Montaner built Sant Pau as a hospital where light, gardens, ceramic curves, tunnels, and stained glass were made to help the body heal.

For nearly a century, patients entered a place designed to treat illness with science and beauty at once, as if architecture itself could become an act of mercy.
