If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise. The woods are gone. There’s a road called ‘The Woods’ there instead, containing a load of fucking ghastly overpriced executive houses with identical shiny light grey interiors and pointless giant clocks in their living rooms.

“We aren’t racists”, cry the party who not only invited Lucy Connolly, convicted for inciting racially motivated violence, to its conference, but interviewed her on stage, chat show style, as if she was the most heroic freedom fighter the world has ever seen.
Sod off, racists.

After the complete non surprise of confirmation of genocide in Gaza, the only question is this : when will international governments stop with their weasel words and take action to stop Israel?

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Sky news is one of many news outlets that seem obsessed with Farage’s every word, but this is a good way to make our voices heard.
With the click of a button, ask Sky News what they’re doing to ensure balanced reporting. Because they seem to cover every move Farage makes.

Hamas won power in the 2006 election
There have been no elections since
They won with 11% of the votes of the total population
11%
…and yet 100% are paying the price.
