@randallwrites But watching Brian Cox’s reaction to everything BJ said was worth watching!

Johnson on C4, now Sarah Palin on ITV. Is this Bring Out Your Idiots night? #USAElections

The boats have to pay a fee to cross 'Duchy beaches' 😱

This is blatantly illegal and only possible because UK and allies offer complete impunity. The refugee crisis this is creating is catastrophic - and that sadly is part of the genocidal logic. Without UNRWA thousands more will died at Israel’s hands

Israel must be demilitarized & its weapons confiscated. This regime is rogue & has no respect for human life.

This is the Ein Sinia checkpoint north of Ramallah. There are 793 checkpoints and obstacles across the occupied West Bank, according to latest UN figures. Now imagine living your life unable to plan, not only your future, but your day. This is what occupation is about: control.

‘The demolitions are equal to death’: the Palestinian families whose West Bank homes have been bulldozed. The Nawajas saved for 15 years to build their house. Now it is razed, along with over 2,000 more since 7 October, under a huge expansion of illegal Israeli settlements theguardian.com/world/article/…

The BBC are whitewashing racism.

For the love of God, crowds at Rotherham hotel (& some other locations) are NOT protestors. They’re: Rioters The Far Right Vandals Thugs Gangs Arsonists Attackers Tommy Robinson inspired groups Troublemakers Armed mobs Threatening crowds Potential killers
