This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

🔴Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the Human Cost of 'Free' Speech

As the latest far right terrorist is imprisoned for an attack on asylum seekers it's time for politicians and the media to take responsibility for their dehumanising language about those seeking refuge in the UK

Israelis are hostages.

Palestinians are prisoners.

Israelis are killed

Palestinians die.

We can never forgive the media that have purposefully supported these war crimes.

Let's pray the peace holds.

Let's pray the guilty get held to account.

This was never a war, only one side has an army.
