false news, political propaganda, misinformation. Retired University teacher. Founder member LSE based Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism.
Thank goodness! In an interesting recent paper the UK royal naval strategy adviser, Steve Jermy, predicted this. What he referred to as the E3 will be on their own apart from the lunatic fringe of north east Europe, led by Kaja Kallas.
The Netherlands??! Well, well. Soon it will be just #UK, #Germany, w/ #France sitting on fence. everyone else prioritising own national security over military help for #Ukraine (& about time, too)
This is such an important discussion that I find closed down whenever I raise it. In a multipolar world, declining Europe’s strategy appears to be to pick a fight with Russia. Suicidal and insane. Europe and UK are becoming death cults. Even the US stays out of this!
NATO weapons, war planning, intelligence, target selection, and contractors are used to strike deeper and deeper into Russia, until Russia believes it has no other option than to retaliate. Our political leaders took us to war against Russia without even permitting a discussion or debate. When the retaliation comes, it will be obligatory to claim it was "unprovoked".
An important and detailed probe by McIntyre. “Starmer is on his way out, but Labour Together sees Andy Burnham as a rebranding opportunity.” Totally depressing exposure of the Labour Party’s dependence on what some call the Epstein/Mandelson network or genocide practitioners.
This man wants ten years to change Britain.
However, he is quietly bringing Peter Mandelson’s “boys” back into the corridors of power.
Here’s what an Andy Burnham government REALLY means for the country:🧵
We live in an era of bandit capitalism and we all know it. Chief executives commit criminal acts, flout laws, and destroy what we all hold dear and yet are hugely rewarded for their crimes. By us.
Govt says England water companies flouting environmental rules face fines of up to £500,000.
It is propaganda. Why a cap?
Fines are proposed, have been deferred and waived.
Company licence to operate not cancelled
No fines on execs for illegal conduct.

Horrible and dishonest. To quote Alf Dubs, “to use children as a weapon, as the Home Secretary is doing, is I think a shabby thing. I’m lost for words, frankly”.
On Monday 13 July, MPs will debate and vote on a sinister new Immigration and Asylum Bill that the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is trying to rush through Parliament.
The Bill tears apart human rights protections and attacks the rule of law, limiting people’s basic rights to reunite with their families, loved ones, dependants and carers. It saddles people seeking safety with unjust debt and punishes survivors of slavery and trafficking.
Write to your MP using this tool and tell them to oppose this Bill

What a wonderful scam! So politically and psychologically intelligent.Except for its advertising, with its heart in the right place. This is a short radio play; not a “soap opera” but a financial services opera. I give it the scam award of the year.
UK income tax personal allowance frozen at £12570 since 2021.
If increased in line with inflation, it would be £16048 for 2026/27.
Someone earning £17,000 will pay extra £696 in income tax, 278 in national insurance.
All because govts appease the rich.

They support Palestine action, heroic law abiding pillars of the community. What changed for them was UK govs, both Tory and Labour, who openly and without apology, and with no mandate, gave help, weapons and war support in the carrying out of genocide. And continue to do so!
BREAKING

“new National Security State Threats Bill is being fast tracked through parliament to extend the attack on free speech…receiving a benefit including “information” from a state entity designated as “hostile” by the Home Secretary will be a crime bringing up to 14 yrs in prison”.

💔 70% of ALL people killed by the U.S.-Israel have been civilian.
40% in Iran and 97% in Lebanon
In comparison, civilians make up 3% of deaths in Ukraine.
🚨BREAKING: Israel assassinated Mohamed Al-Wahidi, Director of Public Relations at the Egyptian Committee in Gaza.
The assassination comes one day after Hamas dissolved its governing body to clear the way for civilian technocratic rule.
“We must not petition, we must take it over”. It is so good to see that the UK and US states did not crush Assange’s spirit despite solitary confinement and being stripped of his clothes, the justification being to stop suicide attempts.
Julian Assange:
‘There is no society anymore. What there is, is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world, using your tax money.’
“Abu Safiya described an attack there by guards using hammers and batons…He was then moved to the Rakefet facility on 24 June, where Odeh noted a severe and dangerous deterioration in his condition.” He now appears terrified to speak.
"Detained Gaza doctor almost unrecognisable after injuries in Israeli jail. Hussam Abu Safiya faces ‘tangible danger to his life’ following 18 months in prison without charge or trial"

I have to repeat this!! They really are going to put 80 year old people like me in jail for holding placards. The British state has become unhinged because of its support for an apartheid and genocidal state.
The combined force of attacks on dissidents in the UK is astonishing.
They really are going to put 80 plus year old ladies in jail for holding placards.
And the National Security (State Threats) Bill is probably the worst of all. You will be jailed if you publish truth on here.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez says the U.S. is using “pressure, blackmail and threats” to stop the UN General Assembly from debating the blockade against Cuba on July 7.
