@StWuk is dedicated to ending & preventing war. Opposes UK establishment warmongering and the squandering of our money on militarism. Anti-racist #FreePalestine














I have tabled a Bill to require Parliamentary approval for the foreign use of British military bases. We must learn the lessons of the past — and stop our Prime Minister from dragging Britain into another catastrophic, illegal war.



STOP BOMBING IRAN. We need to make this massive, to defend Iran against western imperialism as well as ourselves. @STWuk @GMF_Palestine @CNDuk









Now with @zarahsultana added to the panel. With a fantastic line up of speakers we will discuss Trump's war-mongering and how we can build the anti war movement. @SK_Bolt Sophie Bolt - CND President Andrew Murray - Stop the War Coalition National Officer outsavvy.com/event/33393/st…

Looks like Tony Blair is very determined to confirm his status as one of the worst persons alive. His speech is pure 19th century colonialism: he frames the Gaza issue as one of "ineffective governance" on the part of the Palestinians, without as much as mentioning the 17-year blockade, the occupation, or the small matter of the deadliest assault on a civilian population this century. I'd love to understand how you build "effective institutions" when: - Your airport was destroyed by Israel in 2001 - Your seaport is blockaded - Building materials are banned as "dual use" - Your university gets bombed every few years - Your civil servants can't travel for training - Your economy is strangled by design - Your people and government officials are routinely killed in devastating attacks And he uses this, the eminently predictable outcome of this continuous strangling of a people, as evidence that they can't govern themselves and that they require outside management by the architects of their immiseration. Absolutely repugnant, no other word for it.

Since Margaret Hodge is being reported as the frontrunner to take over Ofcom, heres a story from the archives As Childrens Minister Hodge cut funding for the Woodcraft Folk in a politically motivated act of spite after they campaigned against the Iraq war independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
