This is how fucking pathetic & ridiculous you look when you cede moral and legal control of your country to Tel Aviv.
Metropolitan Police arrest a 94 year-old-woman for words of support for Palestine on a placard.

The UK's worst PM. In recent times: Liz Truss for blowing billions in 49 days backed by Farage & the crazed right; Boris Johnson for a hard Brexit; David Cameron for presiding over Brexit. And worst in the 20th c: Neville Chamberlain for appeasement, delusion & naivety abt Nazis.
Worst Prime Minister ever. Socialists never learn.

This is the key story today
Replying to @MairavZ
The refusal to partner with Palestinian Arab parties is not just about losing chance to replace Netanyahu government- it also has real implications for Israel’s already flawed democracy, for basic civil rights and will encourage further destruction of liberal institutions.

Simple question: Who do you believe has your best interests at heart, the millionaire/billionaire Easdale brothers who have amassed obscene wealth on the back of charging you, the public, to use their buses, or the First Minister who hasn’t?

The Green Party is literally in favour of breaking up the UK.
The Green Party has never called for any other existing state to be abolished, just the world’s only Jewish one. Extremism in action.

Pensioners with paper signs are terrorists, Iran is behind random diesel thieves. How ridiculous, do they believe everyone in the UK has been lobotomised?

It now turns out that one of these "Iranian terror proxies" phoned 999 himself, an hour before the farmer. Say what you like about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp but they are extremely helpful! That's not an endorsement, just an observation. The biggest laugh is that it still took the cops almost 2 hours to respond, such is the underfunding in police resources as the UK Regime continues to send billions of pounds to frauster fascists in Ukraine. Cops are apparently too busy arresting grannies and nuns who are holding up banners protesting at the UKs backing of genocide in occupied Palestine. The UK is an absolute shitshow.
Lord Gove: "The thing that is really perplexing to me is why these people have been released on bail.." Kevin Maguire: "My guess would be, its because the police have found no evidence of terrorism" #GMB

ITV show "Spitting Image" aired on British TV 32 years ago. When the truth about Israel was aired instead of lies. This is LONG before Hamas.

Palantir didn’t hire a former Labour deputy leader for his coding skills. It hired him for access. Tom Watson’s move is more than a private career choice. It’s the revolving door in action and another blow to public trust. The integrity gap won’t close until politicians pick a side. My piece for the Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Israel has just banned all Arab Parties from running in their upcoming elections. Arabs make up 21% of Israeli Citizens they have now been banned from having any representation. Israel isn't like Nazi Germany. It is Nazi Germany.

Don’t allow this news be suppressed- please share
Israel has been found guilty today in Geneva of war crimes including extermination, forcible transfer, starvation, torture and false imprisonment, sexual violence including rape... and many many more. If it was any other country than Israel all of Europe would boycott them. Instead there will be silence.

Aye. Corporations are bastards. But what to do about them?
The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.
