White folk in Britain should watch Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' series and educate ourselves on how racist our State was/is.

A different sort of Racism from what we see in America, but institutionalised racism all the same.

2hago 1236 GMT Starmer says he is "really appalled’ by Israel blocking aid to Gaza Zara Sultana (Ind) asks if Starmer still thinks Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza, even though it has cut off aid supplies to Gaza for the past 11 days, and cut of electricity supplies affecting water production. Starmer says he is “really appalled by Israel blocking aid when it is needed at greater volume and speed than it ever been needed”.

Proud of this country today, this seemingly co-ordinated double strike is exactly the sort of thing we need to see.

I hope the Westminster guy's feet are alright though....😬

Where is the independent reporting exposing *why* most countries won't sanction Israel (eg, US corps suing govts)

Where is the independent reporting telling us what sanctions *have* been implemented by who?

Where is the independent reporting showcasing existing BDS campaigns?

Has anyone seen it?

Via ICS, corps can sue govts for actions that threaten profits.

Will you be getting those troops from the same 'people factory' you'll be getting those builders, yeah?

How are you going to get the Youth to sign up for the Army when we all know you'll be tossed on the scrapheap of life once you're out of the Service? The State exploits us, then ignores us once we are of no use.

Waving flags and being a fan of the Royals doesn't really cut it.

For years in the UK, all we got was a news cycle of ignorant dickheads, convinced of their own genius, breaking anything good and wrecking people’s lives for fun, all whilst turning the big racism dial up.

It turns out that’s just what governments do now. Everywhere. And then we all get to die in the wreckage, because solving our real global problem was too much trouble to bother with.

World news: Europe is in a major geopolitical crisis as tyrants carve up the world between themselves.

UK news: Some royal kiddies done some drawings! Print them out and stick them to your fridge! Tear down the meagre efforts of your filthy lowborn scumspawn to make room! These people are both definitely completely normal and not weird entitled cunts and also, by definition, your natural betters!

We need a citizen-led UK declaration of digital rights and principles!

ORG has signed Demos' open letter for:

⚫ Public consultation on digital rights to shape the declaration.

⚫ A national digital rights network.

⚫ Digital rights to be integrated into future policy decisions.

"By developing this, the UK can build trust in our emerging digital policies and help responsible innovation to drive growth that benefits us all."

“Political power may require compromise and behind-the-scenes trade-offs, but there are some moral red lines that should never be crossed, whatever the political cost. In my view, the genocide in Gaza is the quintessential test of the moral courage of leaders in the 21st century – and so far, ours have failed.”

In an increasingly crowded field, “Labour”’s deepest shame is their wholehearted support for #genocide in #gaza

"Hindu nationalism, misogyny and the ‘manosphere’ have been identified as breeding grounds for extremism in a leaked report commissioned by Yvette Cooper after last summer’s riots.”

"The report, which was leaked to the right-leaning thinktank Policy Exchange, comes amid deepening scrutiny of the government’s approach to extremism. On Sunday, it emerged that counter-terrorism officers did not believe the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was ‘in danger of being radicalised’.”

"Counter-terrorism officers did not believe Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was ‘in danger of being radicalised’, leaks from a Home Office report have revealed.

The Prevent learning review will criticise counter-terrorism officers for failing to properly take into account Rudakubana’s obsession with extreme violence when it is released, the Sunday Times has reported.”

The warnings are always there.
