How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women?

How can we let them ziptie little children?

This Dolores Huerta video must go viral.

There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars!

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Ken Murphy is Tesco’s UK CEO and the highest paid supermarket boss.

He gets £9,930,000 a year, but is registered to pay tax in the Republic of Ireland.

Not a penny of his outrageous salary is collected in tax, despite almost all Tesco’s earnings coming from the UK.

It’s theft.
