Happy to say I do not purchase anything from these GB advertisers, and have no intention of ever starting.

I would say that was enough bombs, as would every reasonable person. As I cannot stop the Israeli Defence Force / Government doing this how do I find a list of all things Israeli to stop buying and hope that every reasonable person joins me.

How low we have sunk. To still have that fag-breathed race-baiter bossing our politics. To have left the EU on his xenophobic lies. To have failed so completely to hold him to account and to now be flailing around in his fascist cesspit talking about ‘mass deportations’.
A nation-trashing tragedy.

Headline: Farage will pledge five deportation flights a day.

Reform leader says £l0bn plan will save money

Steven Swinford Political Editor

Extract:
Nigel Farage today unveils his blueprint for the "mass deportation" of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who come to the UK on small boats.
In an interview with The Times, the Reform UK leader says Britain is facing a "massive crisis" and that the only way orward is to detain and deport all migrants who arrive illegally.
His plan would take Britain out of the European Convention on Human
Rights and derogate from the UN Convention Against Torture and other international agreements.

Reform UK, Farage's party, would introduce emergency legislation known as the illegal migration (mass deporta-tion) bill, which would bar those who come to the UK on small boats from claiming asylum. While awaiting de-portation, they would be held in detention centres on "surplus" RAF bases.

Reform would seek to sign deals with Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries that are big sources of small-boat migrants,
despite claims of human
rights abuses by their governments.
The party would also look to "third countries such as Rwanda and Albania to houseasylum seekers and seek to use British overseas territories such as
Ascension Island as a "fallback" if people could not be sent elsewhere.
Pressed on what he would do if people were returned to Afghanistan
and tortured or killed, Farage said: "I'm really sorry, but we can't be responsible for everything that happens in the whole of the world. Who is our priority?
Is it the safety and security of this country and its people? Or are we worrying about everybody else and foreign courts? That's what it comes down to.Whose side are you on?"
The home secretary would have a statutory duty to remove people from the UK, Farage said. He claimed the plans would lead to hundreds of thousands of peoplebeing deported and that five charter flights would leave the country every day.

A double strike is not a mishap, this was deliberate and designed to silence journalists. The IDF is evil not incompetent.

Another 5 journalists were murdered in Gaza today,
In addition to the 6 murdered last week. The Israeli Murder Force say they do not target journalists. This is a war crime plain and simple. I hope Netanyahu and his criminal government are held accountable once this abomination is over

The BBC will sack Lineker for his humanity but pay Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg eye watering sums to rim Tories and push a right wing agenda.

We urgently need press reform.

Tory MP Alex Burghart: “I don’t think most people don’t want us to go back on our hard-won freedoms that came out of the Brexit process”

Kuenssberg fails to ask him to name one that positively impacts “most people”

Are there any good arguments why there are not direct parallels with Gaza and the Warsaw ghetto under the Nazi's?

christyd99.bsky.social @christyd99.bsky.social · May 6

One day, to thank those that served and honour those that didn't come back, yes. A whole week of having the dysfunctional Windsor family rammed down our necks trying to make themselves relevant is not necessary and everything I saw yesterday could be done with a democratically elected Head of State.

If the Royal Family didn't exist the problem would go away (given some time). We need to move to being a Republic as soon as possible.

Private shareholders made dividends of £3.6 billion from owning our trains in the last decade. Yet the government is leaving our trains fully privately owned. Sign We Own It's petition to demand they take our trains into public ownership:

Petition: Take our trains into public ownership | We Own It

The government is taking railway operators into public ownership, but the trains themselves will remain in private hands. The government must take our trains into public ownership.
