I wonder which holocaust the kids are going to be taught about? I'm guessing probably not the one in Gaza. Seems our risible excuse for a government is wholeheartedly embracing the US model of total zionist domination.

Today's pro-genocide counter-protestors ('Stop the hate') flying the RAF ensign (top of pic). No doubt they're acknowledging the RAF's significant role in the genocide..

I'm guessing 450-500k marching in London now and NOTHING on BBC news. Tells us all we need to know. Surrender your licence and stop paying to be fed propaganda!

Big march today. A risibly small group of genocide supporters looked very silly. This is the tail end of the march on the Strand.

Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

If he gets it, it will add a new dimension to the noun 'perversity'.

Could Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow?

When Trump talks about the Noble Peace Prize, remember that this is who he helped to kill!

Israel murdered the little girl Sabah Saib Abu Jaser and her mother yesterday in Gaza.

Sabah had dreams and a future.

Israel murdered her under the pretext of self‑defense!

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Short of insurrection, there's always a general strike, I suppose. But I'm sure Starmer would make withdrawal of labour an offence under the Terrorism Act.

All becomes clear. I see that, in his youth, Schapps was the national president of the 'BBYO', a zionist youth movement. One has to wonder whether his interests side with Judaism or zionism. Hmm, let me guess...
