To my Palestinian friends and followers:
I thank you and please know that I support you.
Sadly I am not able to send money to individuals, though I know you desperately need it.
I do send what money I can to UNRWA, MAP, MSF and to the PSC here in the UK.
I join protests whenever I can.
Solidarity.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Reform are so grim and bad sports to boot.

Tied elections get settled at the toss of a coin. Standard practice. No need for law suits.

ΟΜΗΡΙΑΣ & ΕΓΚΛΗΜΑΤΟΣ ΣΥΝΕΧΕΙΑ! Το Ισραήλ αρνείται να απελευθερώσει τον Δρ. Hussam Abu Safiya, ο οποίος επέμεινε να μείνει στο πλευρό των ασθενών του στο βομβαρδισμένο νοσοκομείο του, ακόμη και μετά τη δολοφονία του ίδιου του γιου του. Από τότε κρατείται σε ένα από τα κέντρα βασανιστηρίων του Ισραήλ.

The Green Party has officially voted to end the badger cull, passing a motion at its October conference to enshrine this stance in party policy.
And this Monday, Parliament will debate Protect the Wild's petition to end the cull once and for all.
The fight continues.

The govt needs to change its tune and make re-joining an absolute priority.

Or get out of the way and let someone else do it.

It's hard, when you are in the middle of crazy things.

But with the luxury of some distance, if that's what it is, the answer is clear.

Resist, resist, resist, like your life depends on it.

Because this time, it actually does.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

'genocide being used a tool for negotiation'.....

....to impose a colonialist 'final solution'.

"Israels announcement didn't refer to a ceasefire... the remarks of Netanyahu talked only about a hostage release framework... as it stands what we're seeing is genocide being used a tool for negotiation..."

The foreign secretary says the UK has been contributing to the peace process.

No. What the UK govt has been contributing to is the extermination of the Palestinian people.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

When power crazed, mentally deranged fascists over-play their hands, and the blindfold slips from so many people's eyes...

What happens then?

I fear it won't be pleasant. To put it mildly.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.
