Having covered Mladic's monstrous crimes in real time, I had dared to hope Serbia would not do this. I had hoped that today's young Serbs' dreams of joining Europe, being in the democracy and human rights club, might add an element of common sense, morality and restraint. But must we now conclude this IS who Serbia wants to be? A nation aligned with, and honouring, a convicted war criminal, a mass murderer, guilty of the most heinous crime under the sun: genocide. How could the system, including the church, allow this?

Israel just killed a little girl today you pieces of shit. Her little body was smashed in pieces. A beautiful little girl who hadn't even started school. But here you are crying because a singer said stop killing kids. Unfuckingbelievable
Russian strike on Kramatorsk today killed at least two people‼️ Yet another war crime against the people of Donbas whom they allegedly came to "liberate".
They are liberating them from their homes and their lives.
Wealthy want UK govt to ditch pension triple lock, cut welfare spending

All respect to President Zelenskyy who has the fortitude to sit across the table from russian operatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and not vomit.
Ofwat, Ofgem and Ofcom set caps on prices. They regulate the quality of service we get. They exert public influence on water, energy and Royal Mail
That is public control. BUT we still see huge dividends for shareholders and poor, expensive services for us
Public ownership is the only solution
The new blackshirts on our streets need to be met with a properly coordinated police response or the problem will grow. The police/home office are behind the curve but the numbers are small & a tough police response will be effective if it happens quickly.
Trump and his "envoys" stand with+advocate for Russian invaders, murderers, rapists and kidnappers.
Have you read what Russian soldiers have done to innocent and unarmed women and children in Ukraine?
Unspeakable crimes.
There is NO "win-win" here you traitorous fucks.
It is interesting that a relatively small gaggle of thugs and meatheads in masks can largely avoid criticism and be labelled as speaking on behalf of the british people. Contrast that with response to hundreds of thousands marching peacefully against genocide.
"There's been a wave of air strikes over the past 48hrs. One of those strikes targeted a residential building.. already they've pulled out 7 bodies & the youngest victim a 2 month old baby"

I suggest that a powerful lesson of modern history is that when nations resort to political extremes, be they right or left, it invariably goes badly, often catastrophically, wrong. It was vividly so in the 1930s, yet 90 years on much of Europe & the US are being lured down the same dark & dangerous blind alleyways of populism & nationalism. Even Germany, who should have learned the harshest lessons from its history, are now turning to dangerous extremes. The appeal of the strong man leader, & blaming national failure on foreigners, or 'outsider' groups, be they Muslim or Jew, has great force, but it never results in better societies. Sadly, we often don't learn the lessons of history & we might well be heading for years of conflict & chaos, like in the 1930s & 1940s; all distractions too as the planet burns due to our stupidity & selfishness.😥
This is hardly any different from 19th century British Lords and generals discussing what to do about Sudan, India, or Africa. Every word is predicated on the assumption that it's a westerner's right to talk like this.
America is grotesque as their mob-bosses fawn over Putin and try to stick the nails in Ukraine's coffin to make a few billion for their own pockets.
We are in as vile a part of history as 1939.
Biólogos y ecólogos tardaron 40 años en rescatar al lobo gris mexicano del exterminio total. Hoy, un decreto político busca autorizar que los vuelvan a cazar. ¿De qué sirve la ciencia si la ignorancia con poder decide quién vive y quién muere?
Fuck u Donald Trump 🖕🏻
🚨 BREAKING:
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:
"My credit card doesn't work, I can't pay or make transfers; my health insurance was canceled, and I can't book hotels. I feel like Pablo Escobar. All because I said, 'Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.'"
Israel has just carried out another terror strike in Gaza City. It is around midnight there.
At least one Palestinian was slaughtered and incinerated.
I genuinely do not understand how this fucking world works. How has the world become so accustomed to watching Palestinians, children, adults, and elderly people, being killed in the most horrific ways, and still do so little to stop Israel’s terrorism?
What the hell are you doing?
And to journalists: those of you who amplify Israel’s propaganda and agenda, or who remain silent when your job is to report and share the truth of what has been happening for days, weeks, months, and decades:
How on earth can you go home at night, hug your kids, look them in the eyes, with the knowledge that you helped whitewash, and in fact played a role in, the terrifying slaughter of children who have done nothing wrong to you.
