I wish the Banksy Statue was called "identity" because the more we identify with a particular group the less we are inclined to "know one another in the things which are eternal" Quaker A&Q no 18

“I have had 5 letters from West Yorkshire Police telling me to go to a police station, don't go to a police station, go to Leeds Magistrates Court, don't go to Leeds... go to Westminster... I emailed the court: 'Do I have to come?' They emailed back and said yes. I got here and they said no.”
​Outside Westminster Magistrates Court, an activist who traveled down from West Yorkshire exposes the sheer administrative breakdown facing defendants summoned under anti-terror legislation.
​After receiving contradicting instructions across five separate communications, she confirmed her attendance in writing—only to arrive in London and be turned away at the courtroom door. While court officials acknowledged the failure to notify her and offered to reimburse over £100 in travel expenses, the incident highlights a deeply dysfunctional system burning public funds and dragging ordinary people across the country for last-minute adjournments.

How can a nation traumatised it's youth like that?

This is going to be a running sore which won't heal properly and will determine 🇮🇱 behaviour for at least a century.

We say "never forget" about the losses from the 1st & 2nd WW's.

How is 🇮🇱 going to deal with such 😫

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Tragically, this is no surprise. Goa & the Manali Himalayas are full of damaged kids, ex-IDF conscripts, high as kites, trying to live with the horrors they have been ordered to commit & find ways to justify things they've done which they know deep down to be profoundly wrong

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

I can’t believe these arrests are still happening - the new PM could end this utterly absurd proscription if he chose.
As @jonathonporritt says - trying to save lives is not terrorism. Exposing this government’s complicity in genocide is not terrorism

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Today 1,855 people were arraigned as terrorists at Westminster Crown Court.
For expressing an opinion.
A high proportion of them elderly. Several in wheelchairs.
This now is fascism.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

🚨BREAKING -- The Supreme Court has granted permission for Huda Ammori to appeal the ban on Palestine Action.

This comes after the Court of Appeal reversed the High Court's earlier ruling that the ban was unlawful.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

NEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court.

As police escorted him away he said "I am a supporter of Palestine Action, trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

After a quick trip to the dentist the spiky bits seem to have gone.

What a relief 😮‍💨

🙂Nice to be able to evoke private patient privilege!

Bit miffed these weren't smoothed before they were put in. I'll keep that for my feedback 🤔

No point having a go now 2mth to go....

Argh! 😫 Teeth! In the process of having implants. Suffering temporary bridges from hell digging into, rubbing and harassing my gums like a group of antisocial teens!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

The lack of available NHS dentists in this country should be a national scandal.

It doesn't feel like those drugs are out of my system yet... Last pill of Dexamethasone taken which is given in small amounts before & after dental surgery. Two days of antibiotics to go, sutures out on Thursday🙂

Still not really getting a reasonable night's sleep 😴

[Mary Karin Marshall💙 @MaryKMarshall]

Had a big dental opp yesterday for which I was sedated and the usual pain killers injected into my gums.

TERRIBLE nights sleep! Awoke at 2am! 🙁I think I've caught a glimpse into the troublesome minds of the Musk rat & tRump.

My 🌍is soft foods & how to get more fibre!

Saw this brilliant post on LinkedIn and thought it was worth sharing here. 🤔

Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.

The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.

What an own goal! Tried to buy something from @Superdry and it keeps erroring AI @Superdry_Care cust service is useless when it's a specific IT issue. Tried everything recommended and it's not having it!

@NHSMillion It might save your life!

What's the harm in taking a test and finding out that part of you is still ok?

[Mary Karin Marshall💙 @MaryKMarshall]

Now I understand why @TLRailUK does two singles rather than a return 🤬

Brought e-ticket to go to London this evening for an event. Train cancelled, too late alter plans. No way I could get to the event on time.

I can claim for outward journey easily BUT not the return 🤬

[SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19) @COVID19_disease]

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists have created a sugar-coated nanoparticle that blocks COVID-19 from infecting cells with 99% effectiveness in lab tests.

This isn't a vaccine. It's a decoy.

And it could change how we fight viruses forever.

Here’s how it works.🧵

My elderly and medically vulnerable constituent - Mr K, from Pollards Hill - has now been without water for over a week in 30+ degree heat, yet Thames Water are only offering a 'non-urgent' repair.

@thameswater how can you justify this?

[Mary Karin Marshall💙 @MaryKMarshall]

Hay @facebook how about an option for "I don't want to buy this?"
