I've started to wear the white poppy permanently in my hat. War remains the most persistent threat to humanity. The white poppy reminds me that civilians and conscripted soldiers are being killed every day. Currently it is in Gaza/Lebanon and Ukraine/Russia. Peace with justice is the only way.

Report raises fresh concerns about the link between political donations and public spending
Companies that have recently donated to Labour were awarded contracts worth almost £138m during the party’s first year in government, according to new research that raises fresh concerns about the relationship between political donations and public spending.
A report by the thinktank Autonomy Institute has identified more than 100 companies that have given money to political parties and then won government contracts, under both Conservative and Labour administrations. Continue reading...

The acquittal of soldier F came about according to Justice Lynch because F would not give evidence & refused to answer police questions. Also the statements of other soldiers who had been with soldier f had committed perjury and altered their statements under pressure of the MP.

The Bloody Sunday massacre was the biggest mass murder of British citizens since Peterloo, Manchester in 1819. Let that sink in. Not only was no one convicted of the murders but the colonel in charge of the Paras was given an honour.

There are questions as to the role of Military police. Their investigation of Bloody Sunday in the immediate aftermath of the mass murders was conducted in such away as to obfuscate the truth of what happened & to prevent their statements from being used in criminal proceedings

There are many important questions arising from the prosecution of Soldier F. Why did it take 53 years for any prosecution at all to be mounted. Why was there no police investigation into the Bloody Sunday murders until after 2011, 39 years after the murders took place?

I totally agree. Wrong. Utterly wrong
This is absolutely horrific. To attack a synagogue and kill people, and that too on Yom Kippur. Vile and inexcusable.

There is a myth deeply embedded within the British psyche: that British people are not racist. But the truth is the opposite. Many people in Britain are racist, closet racists perhaps, and that is why they support a racist party like Reform.

Digital ID cards? Not in the Labour manifesto. No consultation with the NI Assembly, the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly. No Green or White paper for discussion and consultation. No debate in Parliament. Just another example of degrading the UK to try and head off Reform. What a country!
