The richest few should not be able to buy influence over our politics, our media, or our future.
Let’s tax extreme wealth fairly, close avoidance loopholes, and put power back where it belongs: with ordinary people.

👉🏿 I was born under a dictatorship and have spent a great deal of my adult life denouncing authoritarian regimes. I am deeply shocked to read the threatening statement issued by the Met Police UK. Threatening to arrest people for providing "logistical support" to peaceful demonstrators is the kind of threatening statement we are used to getting from the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship in Nicaragua. This is not what I expect from PM Andy Burnham’s Government. The UK is supposed to be a democracy, where freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Churchill’s words remind us that a true civilisation relies entirely on these liberties to maintain democratic accountability. Criminalising and proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a shameful authoritarian overreach.

@sharpeleven@novaramedia I watched their take on the suggestion that YouTube channels were unreliable but they thought that the MSM as it exists right now was just a reasonable place! I know now who they @novaramedia really are.
@sharpeleven@Channel4News@alextomo I was just saying this as well. But why shouldn't North Korea have (as it already does) ICBMs? America, that beacon of peace that has not won a war for decades, nobody questions their right to have ICBMs.
I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM."
The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand.
This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel.
If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message.
But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so.
This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel.
People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.
#C4News How can supposed “journalists” like Guru Murthy and @AnushkaAsthana go along with this utter nonsense?
“Britain’s airbases aren’t safe…” says Murthy, because 5 lads from London were trying to steal Diesel from a farm.
And we’re all supposed to go along with this tripe?
@YYvnn@MichaelRosenYes I’m sure you’re right but when dragging luggage and just jet lagged then trying to get to a waiting train the only thing I see is an entry gate requiring a payment.
