"We can't tell the world what you are doing here..."
While Prime Minister, Keir Starmer thanked British soldiers at RAF Akrotiri. They were secretly aiding Israel's genocide in Gaza.

In it I called for cities to better embrace greenery, reflective coatings, water and shading to tackle urban heat.
More relevant than ever….
A man has been charged with five counts of attempted murder following attacks in Edinburgh last week.
Muslims in Scotland are living in fear, but the attacks have gained little attention.
This is what happens when Islamophobia is normalised.

This is all he will be remembered for. A human rights advocate who turned into a genocide advocate.
He has outlived his usefulness.
Watch closely where he ends up.
The cushy position will be his little token of thanks from the Establishment. Blair territory. Morally despicable.
TWO-TIER REPORTING
The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) has analysed UK media coverage of two knife attacks - one against Jews and another against Muslims.
In April, two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, London. In four days, that story generated 782 online articles.
Last week in Edinburgh, five Muslim men were stabbed in a suspected anti-Muslim attack. Over the same period, it generated just 35 articles.
On average, that's 196 articles per day for Golders Green versus only 9 per day for Edinburgh.
The audience reach gap was even bigger: 13.2 billion versus 701 million.
I wonder how much Harriet Harman has coming in each year from attending the House of Lords, presumably in addition to her Ministerial pension?
She seems very happy about the prospect of taking money from the sick and disabled in order to pay for war.
What are these people?
Police are appealing for information after a woman was subjected to racist abuse and assaulted in Blackpool.
Incident took place on Friday 29th May 6.10pm at South Pier Promenade
Two men racially abused the woman, made threats of violence, and then pushed her down the stairs.
People don’t seem to understand - the problem isn’t this heatwave and what to do about it in the immediate. The problem is WHY this heatwave is happening and what that means for the future.
Can people not think beyond one day / week at a time?
This is fucking insane.
Former US Ambassador Chas Freeman exposes the israel coverup.
He states the latest figure is an eye watering 680,000 Palestinians have been murdered.
Israel plays the figure down to try invalidate the charge of genocide!
Honestly, I don’t know how to describe what I lived through today. Even though I have been living in Gaza and documenting what is happening since the beginning of the war, what I witnessed today was one of the most shocking and painful scenes of my entire life.
A group of families living in a very remote camp, almost directly beside the Israeli sand berms, contacted us. They told us they had not received water for a long time. At first, we hesitated because reaching the area with a water truck meant entering an extremely dangerous zone. In the end, we decided to try.
Throughout the journey, I saw destruction and rubble everywhere, but the scene that awaited us near the camp was unlike anything else. Directly in front of us were the sand berms and Israeli cranes, surrounded by a landscape of devastation where little remained except tents and ruins.
When the water truck was still about a kilometer away, people began shouting and running toward it. Women, children, and elderly people carried empty water containers and ran with all the strength they had, terrified that the water would run out before their turn came.
The moment the truck stopped, large numbers of people emerged from among the rubble and damaged tents. They were not looking for food, shelter, or anything else. They were looking for water. Just water.
This time we distributed 6,000 liters of clean water, more than we had distributed before, but even that was not enough. Many people remained waiting, and some left without receiving enough water for their families.
As we distributed the water and documented what was happening, fear never left us for a single moment. Yet what I felt in the face of such immense suffering was greater than fear itself.
Today I witnessed a level of thirst I never imagined I would see. I saw mothers running after a water truck, and children clutching empty containers as if they were holding on to their last hope.
I thought I had already seen everything during this war, but what I witnessed today made me realize that the humanitarian catastrophe is far greater than what the world sees on television screens. This is not simply a shortage of services or difficult living conditions. It is a daily struggle for the most basic necessities of survival.
We are facing a real humanitarian disaster that grows worse with each passing day, while thousands of families wake up every morning searching for one thing only: water.
Very important to note that the UN Commission of Inquiry's conclusion is not only that Israel is indiscriminately killing children in Gaza, but *deliberately* targeting them.
In all my years covering conflicts in the Middle East, I've never before seen armed forces *deliberately* targeting children. But the receipts are there for all to see...

Great question from @Milliedrewgeorge and one I want to clear up: In 2000 Ben & Jerry’s was sold to Unilever as a publicly held corporation. Jerry and I did everything that we could to try to keep it independent, but SEC rules forced the board to make a decision to have the company sold because Unilever offered so much money for it. BUT there was a legally binding agreement that we negotiated that maintained the social mission. Now Magnum is violating that legally binding agreement. #freebenandjerrys

Imagine if people in our mainstream media got as mad about Israel bombing a cafe in Gaza full of women and children, and killing over 40 people, as they did today about a cafe in New York refusing to serve Rep. Dan Goldman because of his pro-Israel views.

Mary Wakefield - wife of Dominic Cummings.
Complaining about “rule breaking”?
I have a few words for her. Durham. Barnard Castle. Covid. Lockdown. 265 mile, 5 hour drive?
Jog any memories?
