Tories decided to get ahead of the narrative from UKIP and run a hostile takeover of the racist agenda, mindful of the potential appeal to all the closet racists and assorted other bigotries in their demographic. And here we are…
👉NEW -- How Britain allowed Pinochet to escape justice for atrocities
by @jmcevoy_2
25 years ago, the UK government allowed Chile’s former dictator to evade extradition to Spain. Declassified files reveal how the decision was made.

Fully closing down Gaza AGAIN, while resuming hostilities, is much more than a violation of the ceasefire. It is an escalation of Israel's genocidal campaign against the Palestinians.
NB.Israel has violated the #ceasefire multiple times:
- killing 100+ Palestinians in Gazs including children (on top of those killed in the West Bank)
- slowing down entry of aid truck
- limiting entry of tents & denying entry of mobile homes (while children continued to freeze to death)
- refusing release of prisoners and hostages.
It is never too late to hold Israel accountable. May this Ramadan be the time the Palestinians see the int'l community lift itself up from the floor of history.
Rather brilliant short film by the sewage campaign network and yes why in God's name is the general public having to do govt's and the regulators' jobs for them?
David Cameron lobbied to get Greensill loans from the Taxpayer.
They were paying him £1m a year for 25 days of ‘work’.
Less than a year after securing more than £5bn from the taxpayer they went bankrupt.
But not before Cameron sold his shares and made another £7m.
The BBC refused to air “Gaza 🇵🇸: How To Survive a Warzone”.
Now a 25 minute summary of the Oscars without mention of the Best Documentary winner “No Other Land 🇵🇸”
The BBC is complicit & a blatant propaganda tool of the 🇬🇧 State & 🇮🇱
Notice how BBC News say 'Israel is accused of breaking international law', rather than reporting that Israel is breaking international law. Also the framing that Hamas is responsible for the collapsing ceasefire.
The House of Lords is full of party appointees who see it as a club in which to feather their nests. Never mind tinkering around with a handful of hereditary peers; the whole place should be shut down and replaced with a directly elected second chamber. https://t.co/PyeEf6Krem
Blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza doesn't seem to be bothering the media very much. Is it that starving people to death is not too much of a problem?
And this Coalition of Willing Warmongers care as little about the Working Class soldiers dying in Ukraine as they did for the million civilians killed in Iraq - All in the name of Western Imperialism...
This is Israeli journalist Gideon Levy @gideonle in Israeli paper @haaretzcom spelling out the appalling, sickening brutality of Israeli army & settlers in the West Bank
UK media - including @BBCNews - does not tell the whole truth https://t.co/7QsVepJhRb
"Raw sewage poured into Windermere for 6,000 hours last year." That's the equivalent of 17 hours per day, each and every day.
The fat cat boss of United Utilities appeared before Parliament last week. It was all fine words, fine deeds, promises made, commitments given.
It was all nonsense of course. Leopards and spots.

Bezalel Yoel Smotrich who has served as Israeli 🇮🇱 Finance Minister since 2022:
“We have decided not to allow aid into Gaza 🇵🇸 The next phase includes cutting off electricity and water.”
He is a racist fascist.
The Hague must issue an arrest warrant for him now.
Today, I expressed concern over the prospect of British troops being deployed in Ukraine.
There is no glory to war – there is only death and destruction. Three years on from Russia’s invasion, I renew my call for peace to stop the endless loss of life.
Trump’s team are master illusionists—distracting the world’s public with drama, chaos & international brinkmanship while they quietly dismantle an already limited US democracy & crush free speech
Don’t be fooled by the spectacle. The real trick is happening behind the curtain.
