Does anyone else find it completely hypocritical that the US is threatening to “intervene” in Iran if they shoot protesters, while they’re over here SHOOTING PROTESTERS??

He says that ICE was justified in shooting Good simply because she was (somehow) “impeding” them. So self-defense had nothing to do with it. They can murder you if they feel you’re getting in their way.

Something wonderfully ironic about this announcement coming from the most terminally online person in Westminster.

Kemi Badenoch says Tories would ban under-16s from ‘addictive’ social media
Conservative leader backs Australian-inspired policy to stop platforms ‘profiting from their anxiety’
The Conservatives are backing a ban on social media for under-16s in an attempt to prevent addictive platforms fuelling anxiety and distraction among teenagers.
Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, said she did not like the word ban but she wanted to see an age limit of 16 in the same way that Australia has introduced restrictions on social media for children. Continue reading...

Why would you ever apologise, if there are no lasting consequences for just saying Fuck You
Lord Mandelson refuses to apologise for continuing his association with "best pal" Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein had been convicted in 2008 (Mandelson stayed at Epsteins lavish Manhattan townhouse in 2009 & they remained in contact as late as 2015) #BBCLauraK

Genuinely puzzled as to what Mandelson would have to do to no longer be treated as a prime source of political wisdom by the BBC, esp as he doesn’t seem to be prepared to apologise or accept responsibility

I’m sure they’re just deeply concerned about the lives and wellbeing of the people of Iran, just like we are so worried about the freedom and dignity of the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Egypt, the Gaza Strip and West Bank: people who now lead lives free from tyranny, fear and violence.

This is why the Government's strategy is doomed. The British public's view of immigration is completely disconnected from reality, and copying the last government by pursuing increasingly vicious crackdowns on legal migration is delivering the same outcome.

Labour councillor thinks that the murder of a woman - with plans that political parties in the UK are specifically looking to emulate - shouldn't be political.
Labour have no intention in every challenging the far right - which is why they'll be next to follow unless we stand up to them.

How low can Polanski go? Weaponising the killing of the mother of a 6 year old girl, that’s how low.

It was people like this, who encouraged people to vote Leave, because they didn't think unelected bureaucrats in the EU should interfere in British politics. Meanwhile....

We all get that the entire political and media establishment choosing Johnson and Brexit as their best option despite knowing what that meant, in their personal and collective interest, was severe Trumpery, right? I mean, it was obvious while it was happening and it seems comical to deny it now.

Nicole Good, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, George Floyd, Oscar Grant, Sonya Massey... countless examples of people who were assaulted and/or murdered by LEOs not because they posed a threat to their lives, but because of 'non-compliance', a 'threat' which exists entirely in the mind of the cop.
I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die
