In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

This article misses 2 important points:
1. Soya is the secondary driver of Amazon deforestation, the primary cause is cattle ranching,
2. More than three-quarters of soya produced worldwide is fed to livestock.
Directly or indirectly, it is the meat industry that is eating Brazil's Amazon.

When they talk about 'red tape' they usually mean health and environmental regulations. Business lobbyists call it red tape when they don't want to be seen to publicly hate wildlife and people.

Imagine if BBC spent as much time on the dangers of climate collapse as they do on immigration. Imagine the public response when they realise what the real danger is to our children & who is causing it. Instead of anger at refugees there’d be anger at oil companies, media bosses, politicians & BBC.

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.
Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Israel has murdered more starving Palestinian civilians queuing for food from its "distribution hubs" (798) than the total number of Israeli civilians (695) killed on 7th October.
On top of the 80,000 people (over 25,000 kids) it's already butchered.
