Pro civilisation, EU, honesty, standards. AntiTory, Anti-Brexit, anti-dishonesty, and corruption in public office. We need to tackle pollution urgently.

FUCKING OVERKILL
$143,000,000 sending 4,700 National Guard & Marines to LA to cover a 3-block area!
Los Angeles County is 2,614,400 acres or 4,084 square miles
We need 5,000 armed combatants to cover 3 square blocks?
This is nothing short of a flex by a wannabe dictator & his goons

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence.
It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?

When will the Govt recognise that privatisation has failed and public ownership is the only effective way forward?

I’m more and more convinced whatever Labour does or doesn’t do, it no longer matters.
The media in all forms, wants Reform in power, no matter what they do or say.
Just like they wanted Johnson to win the 2019 election.
They want drama and chaos & Farage. Even though they know he’s totally unfit.

Indeed Margarete! And Trump has done this *after a call with Putin*.
It's obvious that these 2 dictators made a deal to divide Ukraine into two spheres of interest: Trump gets the minerals and the western part of it, Putin the eastern regions.
It's shameful that America is still a member of NATO.

This is the type of behavior that impunity creates. It has always existed within law enforcement, but is strengthened when political leaders encourage and protect it and the state doesn't hold the perpetrators (order-givers and -executioners) accountable.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
