In the UK, wishing "death on the IDF" will get you investigated by police, but IDF soldiers can return to the UK after killing kids in Gaza and get on with their lives as if nothing happened. The law protects the criminals.
This is not an accurate description of events at all.
I was part of a delegation of speakers, who wished to peacefully carry and lay flowers in memory of children in Gaza who had been killed.
This was facilitated by the police. We did not force our way through.
When we reached Trafalgar Square, we informed police that we would go no further, lay down flowers and disperse.
At that point, the Chief Steward, Chris Nineham was arrested. We then turned back and dispersed.
I urge the police to release all bodycam footage and retract its misleading account of events.
Ian Hislop, "2 million people.. Kemi Badenoch said this meant we had to have an immediate election and Keir Starmer should resign"
"Yet in 2019 Kemi Badenoch said we govern by elections, not petitions"
Stacey Dooley, "Also wasn't there a petition for Brexit, which had 6 million?"
Ian Hislop, "That would mean she would have to remember that and apply it to today"
Victoria Coren Mitchell, "How many people need to sign before we rerun the election?"
Ian Hislop, "That's not how it's done, signing the thing with a bunch of Russian bots, isn't the same as voting on a register"
Oh yes a peaceful nation where over 85% of people were considered poor, no education, no health care, no welfare, no human rights, extremely poor living conditions, 9 year olds worked a 48 hour week, average life expectancy below 50, only 18% of the population could vote.
As a reminder,
The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:

To brighten up budget day, I am giving a set of these Fabulous Mr Benn badges away.
To be in the bowler hat, all you have to do is retweet this tweet.
I'll choose a winner this time next week.
Good Luck!!
I woke up seeing 60+ people are dead, thinking Valencia will be a turning point, will dominate the news, wake everybody up to climate change. It’s not though is it. The budget is dominating reporting in the UK. Public don’t care. We are determined to send our children over a cliff to their deaths without even engaging with this issue.
Over 60 people have been killed in catastrophic flash floods in Spain supercharged by burning fossil fuels. The death toll is still rising.
Meanwhile, our government continues to freeze fuel duty and allows tax breaks for oil and gas companies.
We must Just Stop Oil by 2030.
