Hello, there 👋

Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials?

Well. I’d like to tell you a story.

🪡 🧵

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Watching Amazon Prime while the Iranians burn.
Stuffing our mouths with cheesysugarbacon
while the sky turns black over Tehran.
Laughing without smiling.
Laughing with full mouths and empty eyes
while their water mixes with oil and blood.

"Hoho this will hurt Trump in the midterms"
the liberal chortles,
masturbating furiously
while ruined parents pull ruined schoolbags
out of ruined schools.
Frolicking on lawns with hamburgers in both fists
doing patchouli tai chi
in clothes made by slaves
as black rain waters gardens
of severed limbs and blown-out eyeballs.

This is our culture.
This is our religion.
Praying to Pornhub while children scream,
telling ourselves it will all be worth it
when Iranian women can do OnlyFans
to pay for boob jobs and butt lifts
and go to Capitalist Heaven when they die.
Jizzing Taco Bells and bail bonds firms
all over the global south,
our bellies full of the flesh of children,
our veins full of plastic
and our mouths full of Lexapro,
dancing at the ballroom covered in blood and brains,
gyrating to AI-generated music
cranked up to maximum volume
to hide the sounds of the explosions
and the gasps of our dying souls.

Oh I'm sorry,
am I bumming you out?
Have a hamburger and a Xanax.
Everything's fine.
This is all normal.
Let's pick the bits of skull and teeth from our hair
and go party.

🚨 Muslims Taking Over the UK?

An important message from Shah Lalon Amin, group director of award-winning Delhi 6 street food group, who in 2023 won the Curry King title at the inaugural Nation's Curry Awards.

“I never thought I’d have to write this. But I keep seeing people say Muslims are trying to take over the UK, bring in Sharia law, or push the country toward civil war. And I know some of that fear feels real. So I’m speaking plainly, not to argue, not to attack, just to bring this back to reality.

This is not a Muslim-majority country. It is a parliamentary democracy and a country with Christian heritage. Laws are made by elected representatives. Muslims make up around 6–7% of the population in a country of roughly 70 million people. There is no legal, political, or demographic pathway for replacing British law with any religious law. That isn’t secretly unfolding. It isn’t slowly building. It isn’t a hidden long-term plan.

The average Muslim in Britain does not spend their time plotting political change. There are no secret strategy meetings. No takeover conversations. No coordinated agenda. And no, we don’t have some secret WhatsApp group discussing who’s arriving by boat next week. The only WhatsApp groups we have are about exam results, family gossip, and who’s bringing dessert for Ramadan.

When Muslims get together, the conversations are painfully ordinary. Football results. Who’s top of the league. Ronaldo vs Messi debates. The cost of living. Mortgage rates. Trump being unpredictable. Children’s school reports. Business worries. Holiday plans. During Ramadan, it’s fasting and food. That’s the reality. That’s because we are British, our daily lives look very similar to the average person in this country.

What people call “Sharia courts” in the UK are religious councils that mostly deal with marriage and divorce paperwork or mediation. They cannot override British courts. They cannot enforce criminal punishments. They cannot replace Parliament. If anything conflicts with UK law, UK law wins every single time. It’s no different in principle from Jewish Beth Din courts that handle religious matters within British law. Religious arbitration exists under the legal system. It does not replace it.

Yes, many asylum arrivals are young men. Dangerous journeys are often made by the strongest family member first so they can seek safety and claim asylum and if approved, reunite with their families legally. This pattern has been seen throughout migration history.

Wanting secure borders is reasonable. Wanting efficient processing is reasonable. Criminal behaviour should be punished. But that’s immigration policy, not proof of a coordinated religious invasion.

Sometimes I hear people say, “We want our country back,” or “We just want to protect our country.” I understand that feeling. Wanting safety, stability, and a sense of identity isn’t wrong. But Britain hasn’t been taken. It hasn’t been stolen. It’s still here. Its laws, institutions, culture, and democracy are intact. Protecting a country doesn’t mean hating your neighbours, it means upholding fairness, rule of law, and shared values.

There is no secret Muslim lobby running Westminster. British Muslims are not politically unified, do not vote as one bloc, and do not answer to a central authority. Most British Muslims are doing what everyone else is doing: working, paying taxes, raising children, worrying about bills, hoping their kids succeed, wanting safe streets and a stable country. We don’t want to change Britain into something else. We are part of Britain.

You can want law and order. You can want borders controlled. You can want your country protected. That’s fair.

But if anti-Muslim panic exists on your screen and nowhere in your real life, that’s not society—that’s an algorithm selling you fear.” 🇬🇧

You can certainly see why Zionist shitbags were so keen to smear Jeremy Corbyn as an "antisemite".

There's no way they were going to let him become PM. Shame on every single person who helped propagate the lie. Palestinian blood is on their hands.

Never forgive. Never forget.

[RiverActionUK @RiverActionUK]

Heartbreaking. 💔 The government has rejected proposals to protect England’s chalk streams.

The UK is home to 85% of the world’s chalk streams, rare, precious ecosystems found almost nowhere else on Earth. These rivers are our nation’s rainforest, crystal-clear lifelines for biodiversity, heritage and communities.

We cannot afford to lose them in the name of short-term economic growth. Some things are too rare to risk, too vital to ignore.

🌿 Chalk streams need protection. Not promises.

The 28% bill increase that Water Companies received in April was supposed to go on infrastructure.

Instead they are adding a zero to their infrastructure 'costs' so it all just goes on more profits.

Only Nationalisation will stop the pollution and the theft.

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

What's happening across the UK is an infrastructural hollowing out of all public services, the carving up of the UK into patchworks of corporate sovereignties, we are witnessing the privatisation of the entire country.
I call it Zone Fever.
There are many facets to the corporate coup, they comprise the digital realm and physical infrastructure.
What @Keir_Starmer does not tell you regarding his 'Gold Rush' AI Opportunities Action Plan is that when AI eventually infiltrates the workforce, half of the workforce will be replaced if it is privately owned.
This will entail increasing universal credit, which will not be paid by the Govt, profits will be astronomical for the big tech companies.
If the company is owned by the workers, they would employ the AI, workers would have more time with their kids, more time for educational and creative endeavours, the solution is socialism.
Wealth must be produced and distributed collectively. This will not happen because the UK is capital hungry and desperate after Brexit.

In Starmer's AI Opportunities Action Plan (I know...🙄) he mentions Synthesia – leading the world in AI-powered video, and Blackstone – building Europe’s largest data centre in Northumberland.
Starmer also mentions "We are going to create AI growth zones…breathing new life into sites like Culham, in Oxfordshire'
https://t.co/vkeJqCEeJa
Digital regulation is still in its infancy, it is ripe for exploitation by the private sector, while deregulation on planning permissions (let's call that what it really is, land grabbing), and environmental protections (building on flood zones, all manner of pollution, destruction/loss of habitats, extraction of minerals like lithium for huge battery warehouses, cooling units using excess amounts of clean water) will harm and deplete the physical world.
https://t.co/rjzcVylAeY
Back to Starmer's AI Opportunities Action Plan
While Synthesia prohibits use of its technology for misinformation or "news-like content", an October 2023 Freedom House report stated that Synthesia tools had been used by governments in Venezuela and China to create videos of fake TV news outlets with AI-generated avatars in order to spread propaganda.
Synthesia gained a total valuation of $1 billion, and achieved unicorn status, when it raised $90 million from Accel and Nvidiapartnership NVentures, in June 2023, during its Series C funding round.

As for Starmer's choice of Blackstone in his AI race to the bottom...
Blackstone is an American alternative investment management company based in New York City.
As of May 2024, Blackstone has more than $1 trillion in total assets under management, making it the world's largest alternative investment firm.

BlackRock was launched inside Blackstone (three years later) as a bond manager before striking out as its own firm. Keir Starmer has declared his Govt as being in partnership with Blackrock, Blackrock have bought 80% stakes in 3 UK Freeports, Felixstowe, Harwich, and Thamesport.
Blackrock is a shadow bank with $11 trillion in assets and is the world's largest asset manager.
BlackRock owned more oil, gas, and thermal coal reserves than any other investment management company with total reserves amounting to 9.5 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions or 30% of total energy-related emissions from 2017.
It has been claimed that BlackRock is the "biggest driver of climate destruction on the planet", in part due to its opposition to fossil fuel divestment. BlackRock has also been criticized regarding climate change inaction and deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
In August 2021, a former BlackRock executive who had served as the company's first global chief investment officer for sustainable investing, said he thought the firm's ESG investing was a "dangerous placebo that harms the public interest."
https://t.co/aV9Nzmusbc

Blackstone has an atrocious track record for numerous crimes including; illegal child labor, deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, warrantless disclosure of Motel 6 occupancies Blackstone, agreed to settle for $19.6 million for giving guest lists to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without a warrant.

Blackstone - Ancestry acquisition and data leaks
In 2020, Blackstone acquired a majority stake in https://t.co/JTVhPrPyVe, which controls access to millions of people's genetic data, heightening concern about Blackstone's data privacy practices. This data was disclosed to Blackstone, and it has aggressively defended itself against class action litigation relating to misuse of the data of people who did not consent to genetic testing but were affected through direct biological relations or other means of identification.
https://t.co/ZCHugzpda6
Daniela Gabor’s assertion in The Guardian that "BlackRock will privatise the UK" reflects a critical perspective on the growing influence of private finance, particularly BlackRock, in shaping Britain’s economic and social landscape. Add to this Labour's recent webinar that included 700 lobbyists where Starmer's spokesperson Lord Evermore stated that governance powers were to be handed over to the lobbyists, while the UK Govt takes a 'secondary position' and things get very dark, very quickly. Starmer's announcement on Twitter that the Govt is now a partner with firms like BlackRock is not about rebuilding the UK’s public infrastructure, far from it, this is about facilitating Blackrock's ambitions to expand its financial portfolio by hoovering up housing, education, health, nature, and green energy, by exploiting public-private partnerships (PPPs) to the max. This should be immediately stopped. The most lucrative line of business in the world right now is between governments and corporations.
Starmer is subsidising the privatisation of the UK with taxpayer money, as BlackRock leverages its $11 trillion in managed assets to expand its grip on public goods under its 'Infrastructure Imperative', this means public services are to be turned into additional assets including greens space, ‘nature’s assets’, in their financial portfolio, you can read about that on Blackrock's website.👇🏻
https://t.co/hSQyQ9LmgI
Starmer's changed Labour Party do not work for the public interest, they clearly despise democracy and egalitarianism, they are only interested in corporate hegemony, the dismantling of public services, the ripping up of the social contract, the outsourcing of governance to corporations, the setting up of 86 free zones across England, Scotland, and Wales, while accommodating corporate demands to shape austerity policies, and ensure deregulation completely eviscerates the commons.
