“It’s insane, we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security.”

Palantir. IT'S WORSE Than You Think @carolecadwalla

Sign the complaint about Mr Justice Johnson's pro-genocide bias - this is the judge who (inter alia) has threatened to sentence on the basis of “terrorism”, although the defendants were only convicted of criminal damage against an Israeli arms firm. https://t.co/5z59E6lzVa

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

On 12th June -10am–5pm.

After never having been charged with - & never having been found guilty of terrorism - Pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism.

A first in UK history.

Please RT this until this travesty of justice is ended.
Thank you.

BREAKING: Four Palestine Action activists found guilty of criminal damage are applying to remove the judge in their case on the grounds of bias. Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson is expected to sentence them as terrorists – despite being convicted of an ordinary criminal offence – in a move kept secret from the jury

Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.

How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

Twenty years ago there were two cricket teams in my English village.

Today there are none, and the guys in the pub on the square probably couldn’t name a single England cricketer.

Sky killed English cricket — full stop.

We have over half a million followers.

Was this a mistake or censorship of an independent progressive media outlet?

Please tell @Meta @instagram to reinstate our account ASAP

We’ve filed the court papers. We don’t believe the government acted legally when it ripped up NHS price controls at the behest of Donald Trump and Big Pharma. They must bring this deal to parliament.

On the one hand, FIFA says it will get so hot during some WC games that the players must take a 3min hydration break each half for their own safety. But on the other hand, it says fans can’t bring in their own water or a bottle to fill up with water. 🤔

A Welsh bloke has turned up in our garden. He says the garden is his because he’s a descendant of an Ancient British tribe who lived there. Fair enough.

There is a large operation ongoing to slander Irish people. Led by US/Israel/Ukraine, supported by Europhiles & the British security services, and facilitated by Twitter algorithms & the Irish political & media establishment. The target is not the compliant state, but the people.

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

It's actually so wiłd that people don't see that “raising the minimum wage to a true living wage would cause businesses to close” is an indictment of capitalism.

BBC PAID A WOMAN HALF A MAN SALARY FOR THE SAME JOB AND THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE

Carrie Gracie spoke fluent Mandarin. Ran the @BBC Beijing bureau. Thirty years of service. One of four international editors at Britain's most prestigious broadcaster.

Then the BBC was legally forced to publish salary data in 2017. Gracie looked at the list. Her male counterpart covering North America was on up to £249,000. She was below £150,000. Not even on the published list. Neither was Europe editor Katya Adler. The two women. Funny that.

She had explicitly made equal pay a condition of taking the China role. The BBC said yes. Then paid her nearly half anyway and apparently hoped she'd never check.

She checked.

She asked for equal pay. The BBC, with the confidence of an institution that had been getting away with this for decades, offered her a raise that still left her short.

She turned it down. Resigned from the post. Published an open letter to the licence fee payers explaining exactly what their public broadcaster was doing with their money.

The BBC's response was to put her through nearly a year of their own internal grievance process. Run by the same institution she was complaining about. Investigating itself. Shockingly, it went nowhere.

It took three separate meetings with the Director-General and the concrete threat of an employment tribunal before the BBC caved, issued a public apology, and paid her £361,000 in backdated wages.

She gave every single penny to the Fawcett Society (@fawcettsociety).

A publicly funded broadcaster. Breaking equality law. Caught red-handed. Dragging a 30-year employee through a year of institutional theatre. Paying up only when a judge became a realistic possibility.

BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA

BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism.

For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media.

At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite.

But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions:

How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence?

Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer?

And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this?

Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.

This is Sovereign Media’s first-ever documentary. We are a small, independent team with a brand-new YouTube channel and no corporate backing. We need your support now more than ever.

Watch. Share. Comment. Spread it everywhere.

Stop shaming the POOR for buying things that may not be necessary... and start shaming the RICH for profiteering off of things that are Essential.

[Rangzen @revoltinghippie]

As far as I'm concerned Peter Mandelson betrayed this country and should be charged with treason not "misconduct in public office".
