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.

In the UK, you can be arrested for "terrorism" saying you disagree with a government decision. Absurd and a threat to our democratic rights to protest absurdity

This should apply in every country in the world. Such hoarding of wealth is unhealthy in a compassionate caring world

As Israeli mainstream TV ignores Gazans’ suffering, these outlets expose surveillance, brutality and war crimes

Journalists from Israel’s Haaretz, +972 Magazine and Hamakom Hachi Ham Bagehenom explain how they report on the conflict for a reluctant audience.

I do not deny antisemitism, any more than other racism. But the fact, that protesting the genocide of another set of people. is being viewed as antisemitic, shows how far antisemitism has been weaponised.

Via The Independent: Donald Trump’s false claim that London ‘wants to go to Sharia law’ has been described as ‘appalling and bigoted’ by Mayor Sadiq Khan.

The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We pray for Mr Trump's health and wellbeing as his hallucinations seem to be getting worse by the day”

In the UK, we do not put up with the lies and unfounded claims by pseudo-scientists in USA. Paracetamol, as we call it here, is the safest painkiller we can all use in times of need

The violence in Gaza is not simply episodic slaughter; it is an engineered campaign of erasure — of lives, livelihoods, memory, and geography. Israel has the Ben-Gurion canal project in its sights which would go through northern Gaza.

Gaza’s genocide, the Ben-Gurion canal, and the politics of reconstruction – erasure by design

“Every plan, every scheme, every initiative put forward by Israel has meant in practice, the further dispossession has meant, in practice the further dispossession of the Palestinian people” The vi…

Does Putin have expansionist plans? Ukraine says he does.
Does Trump have expansionist plans? He certainly has
made his dreams obvious 🙄
Why can both not be content
with the country they inherited?

The frightening state of USA today. It is becoming a bullying pariah state with no grasp of morality 😢

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

USA, where a foetal embryo is worth more than a homeless person. Help them! Give them food, shelter, psychiatric support. Seems anything that hits their selfish pockets is abhorrent to these ghouls

I am reading it has been said that Charlie Kirk's "legacy will endure."

FTR, THIS is Charlie Kirk's "legacy", and I would MUCH prefer that NONE of it "endures."

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

In the UK, there are about 22 firearm homicides per year.

In the USA there's an average of 50 every single day.

On Newsnight @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social highlights the hypocrisy of the Labour right leadership banning Labour party candidates for spurious reasons (such as liking a tweet by the Green Party leader), with standing by Peter Mandelson as the UK ambassador to the US.
