The idea that we can change the world through politics is wearing a bit thin for me.
I’m thinking the best thing will be when the people realise that politics is a con. Most politicians are playing us for mugs.
Real change happens separate from politics.

@humeiwei @4noura How was Kabul Biden’s to gift!
Can’t you see what the US is doing in this world!

[Tom Widdicombe @tom909]

When the world accepts that this Genocide is real, and all of the politicians who supported it, turn around and say, “oh we didn’t realise they were going to do this”, is that their get out?
We kind of already know there’ll be a years long Inquiry and it’ll all come to nothing.

It’s just unbelievable that hardly a single Labour MP mentions what is happening to the Palestinians in Gaza right now.
What on earth can ever justify staying quiet on this nightmare.
So many innocent lives being lost - for what!
How is your silence helping anyone?

I went to Belfast last year and did a tour with a former IRA insurgent. He said when he was 14, British soldiers shot up his apartment bloc killing someone he knew. He joined the IRA's youth wing after that, then joined the IRA when he was 18. He was vague but said

If there’s one piece you read today, make it this one:

About what it’s like being a Palestinian-American while the US facilitates one of the worst crimes of our age.

In an ego free world the Left and the Greens would be talking to each other a lot right now.
Maybe they are!

@Groovyghouly @KamalaHarris Groovy, You missed reading the word ‘aims’ in my answer to your question.
How about you tell me, what is your vision for the future? What are your hopes for the human race?

[Tom Widdicombe @tom909]

Hey @KamalaHarris
It might come as a bit of a shock to you, but USA is not the greatest country in the world. That is some bullshit that someone told you.
Most people on earth think the USA is just a pain in the arse.

[Tom Widdicombe @tom909]

@Groovyghouly @KamalaHarris My initial thoughts are, how do you measure that, and why do you have to?
But now I’m thinking a great country would be one that aims to allow its people to live happy and fulfilling lives, while also caring for the planet and all the life on it.
What do you think, Groovy?

[Tom Widdicombe @tom909]

Plug in to this great Left media here - hats off to you guys for getting this up and running.

Harold Wilson refused to follow the USA in to Vietnam.
Sunak and Starmer dutifully fall in to line in Gaza, and end up supporting a genocide.

@TomLondon6 @Virginiaeastwo1 Tom, the short answer to your question ‘Does the West think people are stupid?” is Yes they do, because sadly, loads of them are.

@StillLaughing10 @champone @ToryFibs I understand that some people love capitalism, but it is causing havoc to the planet, and to the human race.

[Tom Widdicombe @tom909]

The truth is, everyone should have a home of their own Living on a temporary basis in someone else’s property should not even be a thing.

[Tom Widdicombe @tom909]

@champone @ToryFibs The point surely is, everyone should have a home, not have to live a temporary existence in someone else’s property.
