every time i see a new "create a song from a single prompt" kind of product being rolled out i think about these comments from @David_Rudnick

Gary Lineker reposting a bad meme on Instagram is higher up the BBC News at One agenda today than Netanyahu saying he's going to take total control of Gaza.

KNEECAP STATEMENT:

They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.

Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.

Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.

We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.

This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.

All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.

At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.

Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.

This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.

To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.

Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.

No smear campaign will change that.

Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.

The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.

Shame on them.

The government is asking farmers whose land is worth OVER £1M to pay a reduced rate of inheritance tax of 20% (everyone else pays 40) over the space of 10 years interest FREE and they’re in parliament square dressed to the nines in £900+ coats telling us they’re going broke.

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

I just read about a 50yr old woman on UC asking DWP if she’s allowed to buy a new mattress. Because people on UC’s bank accounts are being monitored, they even have the power to withdraw money from your account. So why’s no one trying to get the £Bs of PPE back, why’s no one monitoring their accounts? Benefit fraud is £1.4b. But PPE fraud was more than £13b. What’s up with that? I’m SICK of #OneRule

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.

As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.

We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.

The UK isn't a fairy tale, and King Charles certainly isn't Cinderella.

It is time this charade was over, we have 200,000 homeless people, we don't need a billionaire King and his golden coach.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

While everybody was wishing King Charles well with his super expensive Private Cancer treatment that isn't available to you.

He was robbing at least £11.4m from the NHS to make sure you don't get Cancer treatment.

mk.gee…. real superstar. no gimmicks no games just pure aura and musicality. people have been wanting someone like this in music for a while

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Israel has intentionally blocked aid in Gaza, targeted humanitarian workers & has now banned Gaza’s primary aid lifeline, UNRWA.

Starvation is being used as a weapon of war.

Words aren’t enough. We need sanctions, a full arms embargo & for the Israeli Ambassador to be expelled.

[Sean Biggerstaff @Seanchuckle]

This whimsy is just nauseating in the context of how the @ukhomeoffice treats actual flesh and blood human beings.

[Nimer Sultany @NimerSultany]

19 year Israeli soldiers are teenage victims.
But a 4 year old Palestinian child is a young lady...

The depravity. The inhumanity.

[OI @OIThirty10]

Israel attacked someone on Iranian soil. Iran did not retaliate. Israel killed the head of Hezbollah, Iran did not retaliate.
Israel then invaded Lebanon AND threatened Iran directly. Just remember this context once the framing starts.

when you finish a classic film that you’ve been sitting with for 2 hours, the credits have just begun to roll, and a pop up tells you that the next movie is queuing up in 12 seconds unless you intervene? stressful and disrespectful, a practice that should end immediately

[James Armstrong @PoliticoTeacher]

These Just Stop Oil actions are part of a noble history of protest.

The Suffragettes are lauded today with statues in Parliament Square, but at the time they were regarded with contempt, and they didn't throw soup on paintings protected by glass, they slashed & damaged them.

i'm sorry but you just cannot pull this petulant "i must be allowed my premium treats" shit when you're simultaneously talking about how everyone's going to have to tighten their belts as a result of the policy choices of your government

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

We must continue to call for an immediate and total arms embargo to Israel.
