It’s sad to see that the beautiful serene spiritual country, #Laos has become a go-to party destination for free wheeling Westerners. Have they moved on from spoiling places like Dublin, Prague, Barcelona?

There should be a full embargo on all UK arms sales to Israel.
While Starmer and Lammy might prevaricate on genocide (the ICJ said plausible months ago), there is no doubt that war crimes and ethnic cleansing are happening - in which the UK is complicit.

UK arms exports to Israel much higher than official figures show
Campaigners are calling for a 'workaround' that allows military equipment to be sent to Israel via third countries to be closed

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
