As Ramadan begins, Israel has blocked humanitarian aid to over two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This is a violation of international humanitarian law. Demand action from the UK Government.

Warnings in Sweden too - and probably elsewhere. Clear and present danger and not just from Russia
Thank you for sharing this. Family has returned from working in Helsinki. They were shocked at the round-the-clock warnings ⚠️ and rehearsals.. Yet no one else around the world knows about this. Not even Australians.

"The main thing TfL has done with its new names is to highlight the contribution to London’s life made by people who are not the Queen of England. Anyone who sees this as virtue signalling may, in fact, be signalling rather more about themselves."
