50ish yr old engineer, Socialist, grumpy git and getting grumpier every bloody day, bloody tories. Just hanging about, exactly the same way a brick doesn’t.
So there’s me…
State schooled, working class, yet I’m supposed to be “the establishment”
Or Nigel Farage, Dulwich College, City trader
Or…Richard Tice, Uppingham, grandson of a property tycoon
Both getting £££ bungs from the aristocracy
Which is the establishment again?
2,800 arrests were made for supporting Palestinian Action in 6 months -surpassing number of terror suspects detained in the previous decade & the average terror suspect arrested in England & Wales is now a white woman in her 50s.

The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.
That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.
It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.
Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.
Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.
Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.
Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.
Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.
Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.
Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.
You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.
And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.
All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.
All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.
This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.
I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.
They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.
The UK Govt's use of anti-terrorism legislation against its own people results in 100s of pensioners being arrested as terrorists - in order to suppress any criticism of the ongoing ZIONIST GENOCIDE in Palestine & Lebanon?
Please RT until the UK has a Govt that won't do this.
On 12th June -10am–5pm.
After never having been charged with - & never having been found guilty of terrorism - Pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism.
A first in UK history.
Please RT this until this travesty of justice is ended.
Thank you.
Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.
RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.
Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.
If you do exactly the opposite of what Tony Blair is saying.
Renationalise everything.
Support pensioners, disabled people and low paid workers.
Don't waste all your budget on War.
And tell Donald Trump to fuck off.
That's a pretty good manifesto isn't it?
The most striking thing about the BBC election coverage is that the BBC presenters were all under instruction not to speak to any Green without referencing the Golders Green knife attack and "anti-semitism".
One of my most popular articles ever included a long extract from a powerful closing speech by barrister Rajiv Menon during a Palestine Action trial in January. In the end, the jury refused to convict the six defendants.
Menon is now on trial for that closing speech – for reminding the jury that they had a 350-year-old right in law to follow their conscience in reaching a verdict, even if it meant defying a direction from the judge to convict.
Paradoxically, Menon joked in his speech that, because of that earlier legal principle, the judge, unlike his counterpart in 1670, could not lock them, the jurors, up were they to choose to follow their consciences.
Instead, the judge is seeking to lock up the barrister. Does 2026 qualify as an improvement on 1670?
It is believed that this is the first time a barrister has been tried for comments made to a jury in his closing speech. That should serve as a potent reminder of just us how authoritarian the current political moment is, and of how quickly long-established legal rights are being dismantled to protect British collusion in genocide.
Read my article – and the part of the speech for which Menon is being tried – here: https://t.co/RyDHG3Iz81
Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.
RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.
Absolute bombshell. Respected Jewish Rabbi Herschel Gluck completely shatters the establishment narrative. He confirms more British Jews march for Palestine pro-rata than any other group. He declares banning these protests is an actual antisemitic attack on the Jewish community.
They are doing their best to cover up this story!
Meet 36-year old illegal settler Yonah Schreiber, the Jew/ish extremist who brutally attacked a 48 year old, French Catholic nun in Jerusalem. Jonah even kicked her while she was down in agonizing pain as his people do. A fellow illegal settler observed and did nothing to help the nun.
Israel only recently detained Jonah after the video of his grotesque crime went viral. There are no details of his court date or if he has been released.
They are doing their best to suppress this video and story online. Why aren’t all influencers exposing it?
Two Jews are injured in London, the world stops revolving and Starmer is all over the media expressing horror.
Jews slaughter 80,000 Palestinians and not a cheep from Zionist Starmer.
The hypocrisy is revolting
Well, there you have it.
British nationals are serving in a foreign army which is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide.
Those are illegal acts.
