World’s largest banks pledged $869bn to fossil fuel firms in 2024. Planet sizzles whilst banks, their shareholders and execs count profits, dividends and fat paychecks. Yet their websites talk about corporate social responsibility. There is no planet B.

The UK is supposed to be a democracy, Parliament should vote on any potential action that could lead to war with Iran. The PM does not have that power.

This display of fuckwittery yesterday cost The UK Ministry of Defence a whopping £59,662.70. That is outwith what it cost the City of London to provide the services for it. Why the fuck do we allow the elite to indulge themselves in this outdated ceremony when there is a cost of living crisis?

To my eternal shame I was on the side of the Israelis when the raid on Entebbe took place in 1976. I had believed all the propaganda and I thought they were in the right. I was wrong. I now know the truth and I am firmly on the side of the Palestinians. They have a right to resist the zionists.

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

The 2026 Holyrood election is crucial for its own survival. 🔵 It’s a massive crossroad for Scotland. 🔵 Vote with passion for our nation’s future. 🔵 Being nice and subservient isn’t working. 🔵 Crisis managing Westminster’s policies is not enough. 🔵 It’s time to stand up and take our own path.

Genocidal mass murderers suddenly think killing civilians in wrong! "Woah woah suddenly Israel believes it’s bad to drop bombs on population centers? You mean like the schools, hospitals & residential blocks in Gaza Israel has been bombing daily for nearly 2 years now? Those population centers?"

So let me get this right: the British Government wants to raise taxes and spend more on "defence" so it can send fighter jets to defend genocidal Middle Eastern governments when they preemptively attack their neighbours, and those neighbours retaliate?

I fail to understand why Starmer's government still won't recognise the paralysis that Brexit is still causing the country today. His mealy mouthed words of 'Getting closer to the EU' are as hollow as Nigel Farage's head. Pandering to the centre right, With far right policies won't fix it either.

The thing that gets me about Brexit is how it’s somehow become socially unacceptable to complain about the outrageous removal of rights we’ve all suffered. I make no comment on who has been more affected or less affected. But so many of us have just accepted the situation without complaint.

Khuza’a, a town in the Khan Younis governorate, used to be home to 11,000 Palestinians. In less than two weeks, it was reduced to rubble by Israeli forces. Amnesty’s latest analysis of satellite imagery & video footage shows how Israeli forces are destroying civilian areas across Gaza.
