What did I miss? I always assumed Muslims were not the perpetrators of genocide in Palestine. Do actual people really get a buzz out of victim-blaming?

#BBC #R4Today What an inane approach to reporting an attempted 4-minute mile. Did you do the same when that guy ran the 2-hour marathon? Why not ask why her record won’t count if she uses pacemakers, although Roger Bannister’s is still revered globally? Is it sexism, racism, or white privilege?

#BBC #R4Today All those (1 in 3) businesses thinking of cutting jobs due to higher #NationalInsurance costs - would it be possible to ask how many of them took on new staff as a direct result of Jeremy Hunt’s desperate pre-election NI cut?

A reminder: we knew exactly where this #uranium was until #DonaldTrump stuck his paw in and forced #Iran to move it for safety sake The #IAEA were even allowed to visit, unlike #Israel’s stocks: 1) a larger amount; 2) actual weapons; and 3) having to be hidden from Genocidal government ministers.

#Iran: “Our #nuclear capabilities are damaged beyond repair; so badly that we can’t even think about starting again. “Good news for the #IAEA, as they can now forget about us and focus on #Israel’s nuclear capability, along with the threat they pose to world #peace.”

Emperor Hadrian: “These Picts represent an existential threat to Rome. We have evidence of them using woad to frighten us and make them harder to see against pine and heather. If they ever develop clubs with spikes on them, the entire world would be at risk”

Anyone proud of our #Brexit #sovereignty (😂😂🤦‍♂️) should protest against #Labour’s decision to buy #F-35s and bombs we can ONLY use with #US permission … and demand we #TakeBackControl of our military training, so we are not dependent on #Israel Both are unpredictable and currently hostile states.

#BBC #R4Today Climate Change Committee: “Electricity needs to be cheaper so heat pumps and EVs become viable” The public: “No, #electricity needs to be cheaper so we can afford it” Essential utilities should never be in private hands. We are being robbed. #CostOfLiving #NationaliseEnergy

#US: “Buy Tesla cars. We promise we can stop them working at any time, if we don’t like something you do with them” #UK: “Sod off” US: “Buy our jets and #weapons systems. We can stop them working at any time, if we don’t like something you do with them” #KeirStarmer: “Hell, yeah” #BBC #R4Today

If it comes to the choice - support #PalestineAction or support #Genocide - I’m cross with the #UK government for forcing me to self-incriminate. Still, I suspect I will be in excellent company in prison, albeit overcrowded by a multiple of ten or more. Keir Starmer is responsible for this.

When #DonaldTrump said #Israel and #Iran had both contacted him to agree a #Ceasefire, was ANY of it true? Did he think if he announced it they would just stop fighting, as if it was all some miscommunication? Is there nobody supervising him? Are there any grown-ups in the entire #USA?

Individual US service personnel did nothing to contribute to raids on #Qatar - that was government decisions to align with an alleged #WarCriminal and his illegal military aggression in the #MiddleEast No platitudes; members of #Congress / #POTUS should fill in for those soldiers for the duration.

“First, do no harm” Dear Doctors, If I am ever terminally ill, waiting to die in agony, knowing that my condition will progressively worsen until that day of release, I will consider condemning me to suffer to be doing harm. Dear #HouseOfLords, Ditto, plus nitpicking is not ‘an honest living’.

#BBC #R4Today “We favour #AssistedDying in principle, but this bill is dangerous. Doctors will be making decisions, even if they have not yet hung their qualifications on a wall. Some people who die might actually save the country money on care costs - that cannot be tolerated.”

#BBC #R4Today That #Israel government statement: “We achieved all objectives in #Iran - removing the existential threat from ballistic and nuclear missiles “Anyone who heard us mention #RegimeChange is #antisemitic. We will breach the ceasefire soon because Iran is still an existential threat” 🤔

#Trump and #Israel have been shown to lie about #Iran’s nuclear programme. Iran has agreed a ceasefire, which #BBCNews / #R4Today confidently predict Israel will breach within hours (as it has repeatedly after #Gaza ceasefires). Trump is overseeing the death of #Trust in international affairs.

#BBC #R4Today Do you ever listen to yourselves? “#Israel and #Iran have announced an immediate, complete #ceasefire. Israel is expected to launch retaliatory strikes for earlier Iranian strikes” Why is it impossible to say “Israel is expected to break the ceasefire within hours”? #BBCBias #Lies

#UK forces in the #MiddleEast are “on the highest state of alert” - #BBCNews #British and #Irish troops’ lives are at risk because #KeirStarmer has chosen to make them #complicit in #WarCrimes in defence of a wanted criminal and a #genocidal state #NotInMyName #الحرية_لفلسطين #إرهابيين_صهيونيين

Why has #UK government chartered aircraft to evacuate ‘nationals’ from #Israel? If they are dual-nationals, we do not rescue them from their chosen abode. If they are not, what were they doing in a war zone? Any who served with #IDF should be stripped of UK citizenship OR sign up for 3 years here.

#TortoiseMedia is wrecking #TheObserver, finishing what #TheGuardian started. The magazine, long the dullest supplement, today has 4 pages on two deaths in a Paris gym, 5 pages/7 photos of men’s fashion (no prices), and 4 pages on a writer of derivative “romantasy” fluff. #StraightToRecycling

NO, #AndrewRawnsley. NO, #TheObserver #Trump has already jeopardised the special relationship, which is only a vague notion anyway compared to #US-#Israel ties. The PM should do what is right and keep UK out of #Netanyahu’s US-backed #Gaza #genocide, now extended to illegal actions against #Iran.
