Mornings in Tehran now. Dark clouds raining oil on the city with cancerous polluted air entering every house and every lung. This is a chemical attack in a different form. This is what US/Israeli liberation looks like
@MyGlasgowCC I've already logged it, and have been told it can take up to 7 days to process my request. People are just dumping rubbish in the lane now.
@GlasgowCC@MyGlasgowCC Please can you arrange for our blue bins to be emptied. Yet another collection was missed on Sunday - there's rubbish strewn all over the lane (Lauderdale Ln) and boxes of recycling piling up in our flat. Thanks

However bad you think the horrors are in Gaza the reality of the genocide is so much worse. We're just scratching the surface of grasping the depth and scale of Israel's crimes there.
Amazon paid just £18.7m tax on £27bn UK sales.
Their FIRST EVER TAX BILL.
They rely on: roads, postal infrastructure, educated workers, police, NHS (for staff), consumer protections, contract law, and more—paid for by us. But contribute next to nothing.
