While the scale of police brutality is obviously a hundred times worse in the US this old film might give you some context on why the issue resonates with people here https://t.co/wRil4SSMWp especially as the police tried to have the film suppressed at the time...
The US ambassador: the world is seeing increasing threats
Yes, from you! You're imposing an illegal blockade on Cuba, murdering people on boats in the Caribbean, threatening the ICC, kidnapped the Venezuelan president, launched an illegal war on Iran, committed genocide in Gaza
The steady daily killing and brutalising of Palestinians in the West Bank has nothing to do with 'fighting terrorism' or 'security' and everything to do with grabbing land by killing and scaring the people living on that land. Where's the international condemnation and ACTION?
i'm so sick and tired of seeing surveillance technology being promoted within fashion. when exactly are these brands and individuals planning on growing a spine and saying no to right-wing agendas?
@CrankSnipe@ZackPolanski The greens want to make society a fair playing ground, not to be continually stuck in a system in which the rich get richer & everyone else gets poorer. The reason their policies are always attacked is because the rich don't want the status quo to change.
@CrankSnipe@ZackPolanski Yes the current tax system is unfair & not fit for purpose, because it targets the worker not the super rich. The top end multimillionaires & billionaires definitely do not pay their fair share, neither do the biggest corporations (owned by said billionaires & multimillionaires)

Burnham is a bought and paid for zionist, an unprincipled fraud and an abject coward.
@andyburnham
Incredible timeline Where Peter Mandelson's Protégé, isn't ran out of office in shame, but instead, makes 100's of 1000's from Private Healthcare Donations as Health Secretary, Then gets to do the very same in his New Job too, & not a single Mainstream Journalist asks him why.
we’ve had no rain for months, three (!) heatwaves, temperature records shattered, wildfires, thousands dead and we’re only halfway through summer. of course we should be hitting net zero within 10 years you maniacs
This is outrageous.
Israeli arms firms allowed to parade their deadly equipment at an arms fair in England whilst their security threaten the @declassifiedUK journalists for asking questions.
And where are the other journalists? Why aren't they asking the same questions?
@CrankSnipe@ZackPolanski So increasing tax for the top 2% is a good thing. That's who the greens are going after with their tax policies, not the average worker. Unlike every other party who keep giving the rich a free pass, and making the rest of the population pay for it.
@CrankSnipe@ZackPolanski Every working person should be taxed at a FAIR share, the key word is FAIR. The top 2% inherently DON'T pay their fair share, they use loopholes & lobby for government policies that benefit them, not society. That tax burden then falls on normal working people which is wrong.
it is unconscionable that “chatGPT-assisted suicide” is becoming a recurring cause of death. a society with a shred of dignity would not allow computers to kill its people

Free Palestine. Free Britain.

Brian Cox put it better than I could ever. You don’t do only science that can be commercialised. You’ve no idea what is or isn’t commercial. That’s not the point of science!
