The Israeli Army has now designated the whole of Gaza a Kill Zone. And the West whistles in the wind, looks the other way, perpetuates its insidious complicity in this crime against humanity, this real-time genocide haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published so far has found that these cuts will plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty including tens of thousands of children.
But it’s not too late. I’m joining @TrussellUK in calling on the government to rethink. This is how you can help

250,000 people – including 50,000 children – will be plunged into poverty as a result of the Gov’ts proposed benefit cuts - on its own analysis I’m joining @TrussellUK in calling on the government to rethink its cruel & completely irresponsible plan. This is how you can help

I remember the horror of seeing a young girl running from a napalm attack in Vietnam and how it shocked the world in 1972. Today a young disabled girl was incinerated in her wheelchair in Gaza and the U.K. government remains silent. Where is the humanity? #r4today #bbcbreakfast.

Hugely important warning: allowing cheaper US food imports that don’t meet the same environmental & animal protection standards as British farmers would sound a death knell for UK farms & rural communities. It must not be part of any future trade deal theguardian.com/environment/20…

there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.

Police raid Quakers as women met to discuss protests over climate change and Gaza bit.ly/3RpE9lA I wonder how many meetings of farmers to discuss blocking London with tractors over paying tax have been raided! Of course neither should be - this is policing thought crime.
