Genocidal Israel further advances illegal and discriminatory bill to execute only Palestinian and other Arab prisoners.

Intensify BDS campaigns now, in particular against HP, Microsoft and Cisco, to hold complicit companies accountable for helping Israel’s carceral system.

it's fun to put a country under embargo and then accuse it of wilfully starving its people
Bret Stephens, making the case for the United States invading Venezuela: "Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg set sail to Caracas with symbolic deliveries of food?"

...No one has ever made Bret Stephens look worse than Bret Stephens. The competition is only ever for second place.

The Labour Govt oppose a modest wealth tax on the assets of the Super-Rich yet they are happy to seize the assets of asylum-seekers who have little to nothing.

Keir Starmer has betrayed every value & principle that the Labour Party was set-up to represent.

Birmingham council tried to slash workers wages & when the workers responded by taking industrial action the council decided to bring in scab labour to try & break the strike. Those agency workers are now going on strike too.

Do you notice how Israeli politicians don’t feel there’s any need to conceal how repellent their politics are? Do you see how they are correct, there is no need to conceal it, because for two years they’ve been snorting at TV interviewers and telling them LOL fuck you, often with racist remarks.
One day everyone will accept Netanyahu to be pure evil. It will be a mainstream consensus. At that point he will be used as a convenient sponge for all the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated in his time. As if it all started and ended with him. Always remember - it was never just him

Keir Starmer in June: "I've also spoken to the Emir of Qatar to express our solidarity after Iran's unacceptable attack"

So you'll be confirming you've spoken to the Emir of Qatar to express your solidarity after Israels unacceptable attack, right?

The head of Ofcom: the BBC has had some own goals "with the Gaza documentary & the Glastonbury coverage"

The Centre for Media Monitoring produced a detailed report last month showing the BBC is systematically biased against Palestinians in its coverage of Gaza. But Ofcom doesn't care about that.

All of the institutions that were set up after World War II, to prevent tyrants from creating the conditions which could bring about another world war, have been broken by those, who set the institutions, so they themselves can bring about the conditions for another world war.

Again, they believe this because it’s true: their leaders and the hangers on around government have been visibly fighting a losing battle against reality for seventeen years, and they will never admit it or concede defeat. They will gladly embrace Generalissimo Nigel before they ever do that.

I mean, are the public wrong? All the long term trends indicate they’re going to get fucking rinsed for the rest of their lives, and America and Europe have deliberately reintroduced genocide of whole populations as a tool of military policy.

All this stuff is absolutely consistent with the Thatcherite bonfire sputtering out in 2008 and that ever since, we have been desperately chucking everything we own onto the fire in an effort to keep it burning.
