This is a reminder that we live on a planet where lightning turns sand into glass, dolphins give each other names, the ocean glows in the dark, and rain has a scent before it falls. You stand here with a beating heart, a steady moon above, and a world quietly, absurdly beautiful.
Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone.
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year?
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit?
Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it?
Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite?
It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.
I will never, as long as I live, NEVER understand how they managed to convince so many people that simply wanting everyone to be safe and to thrive and for the planet to be healthy and protected is somehow an extremist, radical point of view.
Covid made us realize that the people who stock grocery stores, drive trucks, farm, and work in hospitals are the ones actually holding civilisation together. If bankers, CEOs, billionaires, and entrepreneurs stopped working, the world would barely notice.
People can’t seem to get it into their heads that without a functioning healthy planet you have no economy, no food, no AI, no wealth, no jobs, no security at all, nothing, that’s it, period, over.
Wake up, for fucks sake.
@JhonnyWsH@Queen_primis What rubbish. I actively encourage my husband to go fishing so that we can both get some solitude and peace. Doesn't mean I don't adore him.
I am English. This is my country too.
And I don’t want racism or thuggery.
I don’t want MAGA Christian’s-fascism.
I want a free, open and caring society where everyone is welcome.
The absolute hell on Earth these sociopaths have created. This planet is breathtakingly beautiful and abundant. We could be living in paradise together. But instead, they created capitalism, war, political parties, centuries of colonization, and destruction to serve the few.
The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it.
May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.
