Starmer is just awful. Shocking junk speak from him akin to the BBC. Hopefully he is held accountable some day, alongside the BBC.
🚨Starmer’s rhetoric is deeply troubling. Adopting language that strips Palestinians of their humanity, framing Israelis as being “massacred” while Palestinians merely “lose their lives.” 🇵🇸

Never tried #Drupal before. For some reason the impression I always had was that it was outdated.
But after the demo of #DrupalCMS at the #DrupalCMSLaunchParty in #Trivandrum, thinking I should give it a try. Looks promising.

This is their response. Pretty vile. They call out Oct 7th, but nothing specific in terms of Israeli atrocities. 100% glad I cancelled that. BBC is disgusting.
