No Oil profits for Occupation and Genocide
The Rosebank oil field is a climate disaster waiting to happen – but the scandal doesn’t stop there. It could also send more than £200 million to one of Israel’s biggest oil companies, which operates ...

Consequences! Pretty easy to be rid of this toxic mess in the UK system, despite the systemic resistance. We need rid of Andrew you-know-who too. Others need to depose their own creeps.

This reads like a clear warning of enforcement action by Trump upon Springsteen. ‘When he gets back we’ll see how it goes for him’?? Doubt Bruce is in the slightest phased, but such implicit threats need noting… for all of us, American or not. This is unhinged, totally, but backed up with power.
How on earth did this uncouth buffoon ever make it to the White House? More baffling, how on earth is he still allowed to continue wrecking the country; economically, socially and politically?

It’s hard to fathom the degeneracy of the MAGA mind and the priming of disgusting AI slop. Alex Pretti was a decent man murdered by State actors posing as Feds.
But stop a while and think. Even IF a victim had a past to ‘judge’ would it ever justify their execution??

Was Alex Pretti fired from nursing job for misconduct? Here's the truth
