In the past 24hrs, Israel has attacked:

- Lebanon
- Syria
- Qatar
- The Freedom Flotilla carrying international citizens in Tunisian waters.
If you're waiting for the UN to finally intervene & save us - it won't come.
Our humanity can only be saved by us.

Be a wet being

Staying well in the well

If you put illegal cladding on a building that led to the deaths of 72 people you would have gone straight to jail for the maximum of 14 years.
8 years and 2 months later the billionaires behind Grenfell who donated millions to the Tories are still uncharged.

After that it is all free wind energy.
