so they call me terrorist
for opposing genocide.
Solidarity forever!”
The mass defiance won't stop until the ban is lifted. Next weekend, on October 4th, hundreds will defy the ban in London.

While the Met has failed to provide any evidence backing up their claims, video footage clearly shows the Met violently arresting people, wielding their batons and pushing people to the ground.

I remember as a kid wondering what 2025 would look like.
We all speculated flying cars, robots doing work...
Never would I have imagined the world got completely stupid as we are now.
We can see the problems, there are solutions to the problems, but we don't act.
Why? Because greed won't let us.
