I’m British. I want this.
I find out reneging on the very basic building blocks of post-World War 2 internationalism deeply troubling and profoundly shameful.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

Yeah, I'd really like to know why, and also why their funding is going up yet again, when they're mostly all multi-millionaires, I know i'd rather my tax, funded air ambulances than paying tax to take royals on a jolly🤨
Two headlines, two papers
@Independent blames a mother for her toddlers death while the father was looking after him
@DailyMail frames a man raping his daughter as ‘romping’. She tragically went on to kill herself
The British media is in the gutter @IpsoNews@MichelleDewbs
I will be pursuing a press complaint against you @DailyMail for this revolting, dangerous, damaging headline.
His poor daughter went to live with him after a difficult life, hoping for love and stability. He got her blind drunk & raped her. She killed herself.
Shame on you.
#GMB: "Royal accounts also show that the sovereign grant, which is of course the money that we as tax payers give to the royal family to do their job of being Royal essentially.. that sovereign grant is going to soar, jump to £100m/yr, which is almost double what it was 3yrs ago"
Today, Peter Murrell was sentenced to 5 years in prison for embezzlement. In 2022, the man who raped me was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for 2 rapes, a sexual assault, and destroying evidence. Is financial crime really as grave as rape in this country?
i strongly agree, as long as the DNA of all male fathers and children should be kept in a database to be routinely cross checked against DNA obtained from rape kits. full transparency for all.🩷
John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
Starmer calling Corbyn's Labour morally bankrupt in his resignation speech — from a man who defended collective punishment in Gaza, fed intelligence to Israeli génocidaires, and had activists trying to stop it arrested as terrorists. Not a decent man. An indecent sociopath.
The only reason it took so long for this is because everyone kept treating it as the "you-cannot-have-kids-disease", instead of acknowledging that the condition was wrecking havoc in the entire body, and infertility was just a symptom
