An Orange Order anti Catholic hate parade in Liverpool complete with anti Catholic music and singing as they parade by Anfield. If it was anti Jewish, Muslim or Protestant they'd be arrested and prosecuted. Why is the Orange Order given a free pass to spread sectarian hate?

HE KNEW THE DOSSIER WAS FAKE. WEEKS LATER HE WAS DEAD IN A FIELD Dr David Kelly was Britain's foremost weapons inspector. He spent years inspecting Iraqi facilities, earned a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and knew more about Saddam's arsenal than almost anyone in government. In 2002, Tony Blair's government published a dossier claiming Iraq could deploy chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes. Britain went to war on the back of it. No weapons were ever found. Kelly knew the dossier was rubbish. He said so, quietly, to a @BBC journalist. That conversation ended his career, his privacy, and ultimately his life. The MOD carefully allowed his name to leak to the press as the BBC's source. He was then hauled before parliamentary committees, stripped apart by his own employer, and thrown to a media frenzy he never asked for. Two days after giving evidence to MPs, the 59-year-old was found dead in woodland near his Oxfordshire home. Instead of a proper inquest, Tony Blair asked Lord Hutton to run a private inquiry. Hutton concluded suicide. The inquest was opened, then suspended, and never resumed. Eight senior legal and medical figures, including a coroner, later wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was unsafe. They argued the wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not have caused sufficient blood loss to kill a healthy person. There were no fingerprints on the knife found beside his body, even though he was not wearing gloves. In 2011, Attorney General Dominic Grieve rejected all calls for a new inquest. He said the Hutton Inquiry was "tantamount to an inquest" and that further investigation would be dismissed by judges with irritation. A man challenged the government's justification for a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly destroyed, died in mysterious circumstances, never got a proper inquest, and the people who sent him into that media storm faced no consequences whatsoever. Tony Blair became a Middle East Peace Envoy the following year. You genuinely could not make it up. Sources: @BBCNews, openDemocracy, Hansard, @thetimes | Hutton Report

Steve Biko died Sept 12, 1977, age 30, from brain injuries inflicted by apartheid police. Arrested August 18, he was tortured and beaten, then transported naked and comatose to a Pretoria prison hospital—an execution by the state. 💔💔

“You don’t see this in Ireland… you see this in America.” Vigils were held across Ireland after Yves Sakila, a 35-year-old Congolese man, died after being detained by Irish security staff. Many protesters drew parallels to the police murder of George Floyd.

Net migration dropped from a peak of 944,000 in March 2023 to 204,000 in the year to June 2025.The latest figures are expected to show a further decrease. Yet 67% of people with sceptical views on immigration believe net migration increased in 2025. Fight racism with facts!

There should be no surprise at behaviour of Ben-Gvir. He , like Netanyahu & his regime, has long ago lost any sense of decency & humanity.What should shock us is our own government continues to sell arms to Israel, refuses to sanction the regime & hasn’t kicked out its ambassador
Channel 4 News@Channel4News

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has released video footage on social media of himself berating detained activists from the Gaza flotilla. The video has prompted international outrage, while the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Ben Gvir’s actions were ‘not consistent with the values of the State of Israel’
