This.

Opposing genocide is treated as suspicious, and indicative of secret hateful motives.

Supporting genocide is treated as respectable and mainstream.

The world is turned on its head.

We are witnessing an abject failure on the part of UK news shows.

The OBR report lays bare the Catastrophic cost of Brexit on UK trade but not a mention!

Why are none of them pointing out the report the Chancellor is relying on says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% & the implications of that for growth? It’s a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts.

If like me you think UK news shows need to step up and start addressing these issues give this film a RT

Places like Center Parcs are wild

You walk around and think:

“hmm,quite nice to have amenities”

…then you realise Britain has made visiting a miniature place with functional civic infrastructure a holiday destination

We pay to live like a Danish person for a week, basically

Israeli 🇮🇱 bulldozers destroying the streets of Jenin 🇵🇸

Jenin is in the West Bank. Hamas are not in the West Bank 🇵🇸

It’s just never been ‘defence’
It’s always been oppression
It’s always been genocide

It’s a land grab

In front of the whole world.

I have tears in my eyes because the NHS has discovered a tear in my retina just 2 days after I first saw symptoms and 3 hours after I came to Moorfields Eye Hospital. I’m just about to get laser surgery. Without the NHS I could have gone blind. Austerity undermines society.

3 right wing white men

dismissing the hostile environment while ridiculing a Muslim who is genuinely fearful of lynch mobs

The racism problem on TV

This clip is not allowed to be broadcast in the UK.

It is considered political.

You are fucking right it is political - because it tears apart EVERY lie we are told here.

Austerity was based on a bad excel sheet.

The morons HAVE to go.

Here are YOUR PUBLIC SERVICES that 5 Prime Ministers have stolen in the past 14 years

How to kidnap a country.
Create division and sow chaos in the economy.
Exit social democracy and start replacing it with corporate governance, the nation-state will quickly atrophy and wither away.
Deregulate laws and worker's rights that protect people from predatory capitalists.
Engineer insolvency across all councils.
Always blame the 'other' for the problems this creates.
Establish dozens of Special Economic Zone subsidized with billions in public money given by the govt to their favoured companies, allowing them to asset strip all councils and public services.
Replace collective sovereignty with corporate sovereignty.
Dismantle big govt and remove the obstacles of 'intervention' and fair redistribution of GDP.
License the SEZs and Freeports for +25 years, future proofing them from any incoming govts that may wish to revoke contracts.
Should a new govt pursue revocation of SEZ licenses and contracts, hit them with Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), sue the govt.
Establish private courts, security forces, education curricula, and a new system of legalized lawlessness within the zones.
Rebuild towns, cities, and villages not with concrete or glass but with private laws.
Ensure by corporate lobbying that the main political parties mirror each other's policies but take care to fool the public that whoever is in power maintains a pseudo-adversarial role, buoyed by a compliant press.
By privatising an entire country, its population will become desperate and fatigued as crises mount, they will become dependent on whatever jobs are available to feed their families, this is how you exit democracy and pave the way for a total corporate coup.

The government now has the right to see claimants' bank accounts while cabinet ministers set up trust funds in offshore jurisdictions to avoid scrutiny of their tax affairs. That's class politics, right there.

Could this lady stand for election please - concise, logical, excoriating defence of the reasons why we need a new Brexit vote.
It's called democracy.
