It's the same the whole world over,
It's the poor what gets the blame,
It's the rich what gets the pleasure,
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Nothing much really changes.

The red poppy grew on churned up French battlefields. It was used to honour the memory of those who died. It’s a symbol of peace, of never allowing war on such scale ever again

The message of peace has been lost through jingoistic patriotism…
a white poppy reminds us of this original need for peace

I remember this so well... As the final seconds of a brilliantly funny comedy series, it was shockingly effective.

You'd come to 'know' the characters. Nothing could have emphasised the pointless tragedy of it all more effectively. It was a piece of genius.

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits.

Due to our policies, we've done it in 9.

In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

Netanyahu's Zionists are the reason Anti semitism and Jew hate is rising around the world. But there are huge numbers of anti zionist Jews around the world, give them your support, help them win the argument to coexist in Palestine. End the west bank invasion, support the nation of Palestine.
November 6, 2025 at 8:22 PM
JEWS, your biggest inspirer of antisemitism is Netanhayu's Zionist government. The world is turning on Zionism, not Judaism. WAKE the fuck up and condemn Zionism and the Genocide of innocent Palestinians. UNITE, FIND A HUMANIST SOLUTION TO YOUR ETERNAL SUFFERING. PEOPLE MUST WIN IN THE END.💚☮️

As a Muslim, at a time of division Mamdani has brought much of his city together. He spoke for Mexican abuelas & Ethiopian aunties. “No longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do”. It is shameful that not one of our UK leaders has been able to do the same.
