"After Sarah Everard was killed by a police officer, Farage said: 'we musn't allow the tragic murder of a woman to turn into attacks on men and police'.
"Five years on - the right is fighting with itself to be the party that doxxes, incites, whips up."

Cathy Newman, "Trump smashed up the old world order, the UK and EU are wondering what to do about it"
"Keir Starmer offered closer ties with the EU, why not go the whole hog and rejoin the EU, with the majority of the country in favour?"
Sir Michael Morpurgo, "It was the greatest mistake this country has made since the war, I have no doubt about that at all"
"I mean to turn our back on our neighbours in that way, not just in terms of trade but in terms of culture and everything"
"It was a ridiculous decision"
"Somehow we have to understand when we make a mistake, we admit it and make a change"
An interview with an Irishman in 1962. Absolutely brilliant.
"Irish people have gone all over the world, it'd be bad if they were discriminated against in the countries they went to, why should we discriminate anyone coming in here then?"
I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.
I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.
Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?
Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.
Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.
None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.
You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.
Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.
Think. Before they take everything.

Between 1969 and 1974, as the Troubles tore Belfast apart, five young boys vanished from the streets within a five-mile radius never to be seen again.
possible links to witchcraft and the occult… plus shocking allegations that British intelligence agencies protected known pedophile informants at the infamous Kincora Boys' Home, allowing them to continue abusing children in exchange for intelligence during the conflict.
Exposing secret state documents suggesting abuse, murder, and potential cover-ups involving figures tied to Kincora.
Fifty years on, the families are still searching for answers and justice.
These boys and their families deserve the truth.

Here’s a thought for the day that needs no additional words from me. I’ll hand it over to the late President Carter.

Huge moment from @GeorgeMonbiot on #BBCQT.
Britain and the US overthrew Iran’s elected leader Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953 after he nationalised oil.
The Shah followed. Then the 1979 revolution.
Decades later the consequences are still unfolding.
That’s imperial blowback.
Britain defended corporate oil interests abroad and yet at home we let our own resources flow into the global market instead of protecting national wealth.
History has consequences.

“Come you masters of war.
You that build all the guns.
You that build the death planes.
You that build all the big bombs.
You that hide behind walls.
You that hide behind desks.
I just want you to know I can see through your masks.
Let me ask you one question, Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness, do you think that it could?
I think you will find, when your death takes its toll, all the money you made, will never buy back your soul.”
— Bob Dylan
“There was no convictions on that killing. That was 50 years. Why? Because so many people buried their head in the sand, didn’t want to know what was going on. The exact same is happening now with us, we have an opportunity... to do the right thing.” 🇵🇸
I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today
