If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

Lot of people treated a genocide of a people, sponsored by their own country, as an annoying pet issue that needed to be shelved after the killing as complete or pushed aside for other political problems. And pretended that it was just too complicated to engage with.

Watching this ceasefire farce…

The grotesque intervention that is being played out in Gaza, designed by Netanyahu, Trump and their evil others

I think, “is this what the people, the voters, really want?”

Fact is, I’m both horrified & dismayed by the quality of ALL our supposed western leaders…

“During Trump’s first term his political rivals spent years pushing a bogus conspiracy theory that he was controlled by Vladimir Putin”

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Incredible amount of China-panic over at the other place, apparently they might be trying to influence the UK away from democracy.

Funnily enough not mentioned is the other superpower whose leaders have explicitly stated their intentions in that direction.

After two years of seeing children shredded, buried under rubble, and starved, our establishment newspapers' front pages finally have something to care about: Israeli hostages.

If only they had been this worked up about the dead, mutilated and malnourished children of Gaza.

Israel isn’t moving out of Gaza. They’re paying militias in Gaza to kill Palestinians.

Never trust anything an Israeli says.

Ever.

It’s always a lie.

There’s another angle that Israelis are doing behind everyone’s backs as usual.

Today on mainstream Media you saw the faces and heard the names and stories of Israelis held hostage.

But you didn't see or hear the Palestinians held hostage by Israel, except maybe to mention them as terrorists.

Do you see how biased the Media is?

The bbc focussing on what the ceasefire means for the hostages way more than what it means for Gazans, again seeing that disproportionately we’ve become accustomed to for years, this isn’t new, and it’s certainly not ok
