Now it is official.
"In relation to Israels military operations in Gaza, we conclude that Israeli authorities are responsible for war crimes. Including extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war, forcible transfer"
(UN Human Rights Council)
Google Earth has updated its images to show the devastating scale of destruction across Gaza with swathes of the strip reduced to rubble.

Show this to anybody who still denies the genocide.
These were all people's homes. Completely and totally destroyed.
These images should haunt those who enabled Israel's crimes against humanity - and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people.
So.... £2,485 on glasses for a PM was "sleaze rotting our politics to the core" but £72,000,000 in a single day for Nigel Farage is celebrated as hitting "the jackpot" and a "war chest..."
Whatever is happening here is happening in plain sight. You decide!
He knew in advance, then did nothing for 7 hours before deploying the Hannibal Directive killing hundreds of Israelis with tanks and helicopter gunships... then the genocide in Gaza...
...all to save his own political skin.

This is why it's so important for the UK and other European countries to have strong guards against US govt interference in our democracies.
The Trump governement is diving directly into throwing cash at a political takeover of Europe. And they are very serious about it.

Trump supporter: “I’m totally against vaccines. Absolutely, 100%. Every single one of them. They’re poison”
Jason Selvig: “What about Polio vaccine?”

TS: “Yeah”
I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone. Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link. Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.
Jim Acosta asks Abdul El-Sayed to respond to Trump saying he "hates Jews"
"He called me a lovely gentleman, which is kind of weird. It's in keeping with how he feels about Mamdani and others. I don't really know what his fetish is, but we'll have to figure it out."
One of the saddest foreshadowing in the Dance
Vhagar and Caraxes never hated each other yet they were destined to kill each other because of the ambitions and choices of their riders
@stiofanwalsh@U2 At Glen Hansard's funeral at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin on August 4, 2026, Bono used the traditional Irish showband phrase "thanks for the lend/use of the hall". Old showbands used this dark, deadpan line to jokingly thank the local parish priest after finishing a gig
