Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy
"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.
Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"
🚨BREAKING: Labour have barred anti-Zionist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker from entering the UK after Zionists demanded his visa be revoked for opposing Israel.
Piker was due to speak at the Oxford Union, but today confirmed Britain has revoked his visa for criticising Israel.
Riz Ahmed says someone from the BBC tried to recruit him…for the security services.
You have to be incredibly naive if you don’t think this stuff happens quite regularly. It’s a regime broadcaster. That’s not even a criticism - that’s just what it is!
Nothing epitomises Europe's utter loss of state capacity like the inability to build infrastructure (with eg Nordic/Eastern exceptions). Britain invented railways. And is now reduced to this. In the same period China will have built dozens of airports, nuclear power plants etc
Far-right influencer EDobbin went to Tommy Robinson’s march and filmed himself harassing a 15-year-old girl in front of her mum. Even after they told him her age and walked away, he followed her, asking for her “details” and said she should have a “warning sign” on her.
Fergal is correct.
Despite a guaranteed return of £22BN in profits by 2030 - private water companies continue to use our rivers as sewage pipes and the sea as a cesspit for sewage.
It’s cheaper & therefore more profitable than spending on infrastructure.
Public ownership now.
“Don't swim' at 12 of 14 river bathing sites, as more locations announced.”
Here’s something to wrap your head around.
The only stretch of river graded as ‘Good’ is at Friars Meadow, Sudbury yet from 13th March to the 13th April Anglian Water dumped sewage into Friars Meadow nonstop 24 hours a day for 31 days straight. If you went swimming there during the Easter holidays you were probably swimming in human waste but none of it shows in the data because the EA don’t even bother testing until the middle of May.
PS the EA don’t actually test any bathing site in the country for most of the year 7 and a half months in fact. You go swimming between 1st Oct one year and 15th May the next you’re on your own.

Hi @EnvAgency, I planned to go swimming in my river (River Roding) and checked the water quality and it’s full of sewage (often 5-7 ppm ammonia near outfalls) due to illegal outfalls putting over a billion litres of raw sewage into the river every year. The EA has not prosecuted a single one of these illegal spills or even asked Thames Water to fix them.
What should I do now?
