As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.
This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.
No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

‘They slaughtered us like animals’: the inside story of how one of the biggest atrocities of the Sudan war unfolded in Zamzam
As the UK prepared to host a global summit on bringing peace to Sudan, the RSF paramilitary began a ‘genocidal’ massacre in Zamzam refugee camp. But when reports emerged of the killings, London held its silence.

Former Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he has signed up to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), in order to support US president Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda.

Govt's £100bn price for nationalising England water is bogus
£100bn calculated by OFWAT: Value at privatisation X annual rate of inflation + investment; repeated each year. The answer does not represent any value.
On this basis a car bought for £10k in 1989 would have £50k value.
Utter nonsense
