This is quite unbelievable, like something out of a fictional dystopian alternative Britain but no, this tale of being arrested as a #terrorist for opposing #Genocide and #WarCrimes is very much non-fiction.

79-year-old professor, Haim Bresheeth was arrested under #terrorism legislation for speaking at a protest outside the residence of the #Israel Ambassador in Swiss Cottage.

"Britain’s oldest Black newspaper, The Voice – a beloved institution where I and many other Black journalists started our careers – described Kemi (Badenoch) as 'the antithesis of the great Black women that we have always considered to be ‘on our side’'.

'Never mind,' the newspaper continued. 'White people will no doubt celebrate on our behalf.'” - Afua Hirsch

“Keir Starmer’s sycophantic words of congratulation to Donald Trump are among the most dispiriting things I have read this morning. “Shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise”? This is either serious delusion or utter hypocrisy. He should be ashamed”

Hidden behind this budget is a terrible bombshell: billions in cuts for disabled people

One analysis of Labour’s plans (I use the term in the loosest sense) for people with disabilities in the UK (well certainly England and Wales). I will not be affected but I know of many who will be. I wonder whether Labour will challenge the albeit brief summary? Note I refuse to use the term ‘benefits' in my hashtags.

I'm not knocking the Grecians here, but I do find it fascinating that a crowd of football fans can block a road with a #SlowMarch on the way to a match and get indulgent nods and smiles, but if they were calling for clean air, better insulation in a time of #FuelPoverty and #ClimateCrisis or an end to the bombing of Gaza there would be immediate calls to lock them up for the disruption they're causing.

A crowd of mostly young, mostly male, Exeter City FC fans marching down a road, chanting and waving a banner saying something about Gary Caldwell
The tail end of the same march, showing what I'd estimate to be 50-60 people. There is a police car parked on the corner nearby and they are being watched by a single police officer, but his pose is casual and he doesn't look particularly concerned

The rest couldn't be woken up to take the survey...

UK poll: "More than half of Britons say Israel committing war crimes in Gaza"

Right groups have slammed the UK for what they call a "half-measure" & "gesture politics" in ending only 10% of UK arms sales to Israel.

And the capitalist-authoritarian pincer movement traps its prey yet again.

Your choice is "business as usual" Starmer or crazed lunatic Badenoch.

Whoever wins, we all lose. THATS WHAT THIS SYSTEM IS FOR.

Doco: "How Israel won the west"

Once the Jews come to Palestine, they start imagining themselves as being representatives of the west in the orient.

And, to a certain extent, they succeed in persuading the west that they are the western island in the sea of Muslims, Arabs, all these oriental "others".

"The Jews" become westernized in a political, imperialist, colonialist project called Zionism.

Analysis: "Israel is perfecting crimes committed by Britain"

Prior to the Balfour Declaration of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, the indigenous Muslim, Christian & Jewish populations in Palestine had co-existed peacefully.

Balfour did not ask for indigenous views on the matter because, he said, "they would unquestionably give an anti-Jewish verdict".

However, that verdict would have been against colonisation, not against Jews as people.

Is this the same bill that seems designed to make sure young people only buy smuggled cigarettes rather than ones that actually have taxes on them?
