@AbuHafsah1@louie_marg The attacker was white and so nobody seems to feel the need to make a fuss about it, or to set fire to white people's homes or businesses as a result. Surprise.
"A Swiss court has acquitted five Palestine solidarity activists, annulled their fines, recognised the reality of genocide in Palestine, and affirmed that peaceful civil disobedience is protected by freedom of expression."
Please RT this until the UK courts do the same.
Thanks.
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
This might sound cynical, but I’ve always wondered why no billionaire has single-handedly used their wealth to fund the eradication of poverty, or reverse climate change just for the narcissistic satisfaction of being able to say they saved humanity.
Call you old fashioned? Alright, old-fashioned, @PatrickChristys, let us go through the decades you prefer.
The 1960s: Ian Brady and Myra Hindley tortured and murdered five children, buried them on Saddleworth Moor, and recorded their screams on tape.
The 1970s: Peter Sutcliffe murdered 13 women with hammers and screwdrivers across Yorkshire.
Dennis Nilsen began strangling young men in his London flat, dismembering them, boiling their skulls on his stove, and flushing the remains down the drains.
The 1980s: Michael Ryan shot 16 people dead in Hungerford. Fred and Rose West were raping, torturing, and dismembering women and girls and burying them under their house in Gloucester. Their own daughter among them.
The 1990s: Two 10-year-old boys abducted a toddler from a shopping centre in Liverpool, tortured him, and bludgeoned him to death with bricks and an iron bar.
Thomas Hamilton walked into a primary school in Dunblane and shot 16 five-year-olds and their teacher. Harold Shipman was murdering his patients by the hundred.
The 2000s: James Watt and his family enslaved a man for a decade, tortured him with baseball bats, air pistols, boiling water, and pit bull attacks, then decapitated him and dumped his body in a lake.
Mathew Hardman, 17, murdered a 90-year-old woman, cut out her heart, placed it on a silver platter, and drank her blood.
The 2010s: Derrick Bird shot 12 people dead across Cumbria.
Thomas Mair shot and stabbed an MP in the street while shouting "Britain first".
The 2020s: Jemma Mitchell decapitated her friend, stored the body for two weeks, and drove 200 miles to dump it.
Those are the decades you prefer. And for each decade there are 20 other equally horrific incidents.
And here is the thing, old fashioned Patrick. According to the Crime Survey for England and Wales, violence, burglary, and car crime have fallen by close to 90% since the mid-1990s. The ONS confirms that violent crime is two-thirds lower now than in the 1990s.
The country you live in today is measurably, statistically, dramatically safer than the one you are nostalgic for. That's not an opinion, it's a fact.
And I am not even touching Glasgow and its past knife crime epidemic.
So, which decade was better, Patrick? Tell us.
Ian Wright isn't allowed to say it because he is a Football Presenter but he is thinking it.
So I will say it for him, this World Cup is racist and it is disgusting.
Why the fuck are there so many Americans slagging the English police off.?
Since I was born 89 people in England have been killed by English Police.
Also since I was born 37,000 Americans have been killed by the police in the USA.
Just Saying. 🤷♂️
Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.
We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
Robert Jenrick demanding answers about an attacker who entered Britain during the Conservative government’s watch is like an arsonist demanding an inquiry into the fire.
You and Suella Braverman were Home Secretaries. You were the people responsible.
Spare us the performative outrage and explain how someone you’re now condemning was able to get here under the system you helped run.
Fucking NHS. I woke up this morning with some trouble in my eye. Called the optician. Had tests. Sent straight to hospital with a torn retina.
They insisted on giving me laser surgery there and then to fix it. Didn't want any money for the job. Now I'm home again.
How inconsiderate. Joking aside. Remember there are people out there who want to dismantle the NHS.
"Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love." - Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Canada have invited Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver.
It needs to happen we have had far too much racism from the USA in this World Cup.
Lets see some anti-racism.
😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
I've looked at the accounts of right-wing politicians and journalists.
The people who whipped up the riots in Belfast, where little kids were rescued from burning buildings.
They've said nothing. Zilch. Zero.
They pour their petrol, strike the match, then walk away whistling.
Strange to think that the far right probably did more criminal damage in a single night than Palestine Solidarity movements have done in the past three years.
Two tier policing, indeed.
@IsabelOakeshott A White Brit was literally jailed last month for a public attempted beheading.
But Reform, Farage, Lowe, Musk etc didn’t make outraged posts about that case.
Because REFORM rhetoric was her gateway to far right groups (whose members openly support Restore).
