Film maker Mike Leigh, comedian and writer Alexei Sayle and actress Miriam Margolyes are among dozens of British Jews signing a letter to BBC director general calling on them to resist censorship by rejecting complaints about Gaza documentary and re-instating it on iPlayer Well done those people šŸ‘šŸ‘

The BBC is a propaganda tool of the British Establishment. Authoritarian and Zionist sympathiser = Patriot and a safe pair of hands. Lifelong peace and justice campaigner = Russian puppet with a hatred of Jews, working hand in glove with Terrorists and the radical far-left.

Itā€™s that easy šŸ‘‡

Western politicians and media are complicit in Israelā€™s genocide with a few notable exceptions History is watching.

The BBC is being rightly castigated for withdrawing access on iplayer to its documentary, ā€œGaza: How To Survive A Warzoneā€, that 'humanised Palestinian children'. Itā€™s about time the BBC stopped caving into the Zionist lobby. For now, you can view the film here šŸ‘‡ x.com/GozukaraFurk...

What an evil, uncaring man Sir Keir Starmer is šŸ‘‡ www.disabilitynewsservice.com/prime-minist...

A message to Rachel from accounts - @RachelReevesMP A windfall tax on the record profits of Britainā€™s biggest banks could bring in nearly Ā£15bn for the public finances, according to new analysis from research and campaign group Positive Money. positivemoney.org/press-releas...

Starmer promised to ā€œresetā€ and ā€œclean upā€ politics to ensure the ā€œhighest standards of integrity and honestyā€ Rachel Reeves lied about being an economist. Jonathan Reynolds lied about being a solicitorā€. Hereā€™s Lisa Nandy lying about Reynolds lyingā€¦ and on and on.

Yet another reminder of how things are stacked in favour of the wealthy and against ordinary people. The 2008 Global Financial Crisis was caused by the greed of the wealthy and its consequences were felt most by those with the least. (Source: Private Eye magazine)

Israelā€™s game plan in one image. Make Gaza unlivable so any surviving Palestinians have no choice but to leave their homeland.

Uncanny šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ šŸ‘‡

ā€œTheir MPs vote against workers while bending over backwards for the elites who fund them. Their relentless scapegoating of Muslims and migrants is nothing more than a cynical ploy to deflect from the real culprits - the powerful screwing over our diverse, working-class communities.ā€ Well said šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

Wealth inequality in the UK is much more severe than income inequality, the top 5th take 36% of the countryā€™s income and 63% of its wealth, while the bottom 5th have only 8% of the income & 0.5% of the wealth. (ONS, 2022) The consequences of this inequality are a matter of life and death.

What if Elon Musk is really just an idiot with far too much money?

Spot on Michael šŸ‘‡

Opposing British military involvement in Ukraine does not make you a ā€˜Putin supporterā€™ or a ā€˜Putin apologistā€™ or a ā€˜traitor to Britainā€™. British people donā€™t want our public services cut by another 11% to service US foreign policy.

Kemi Badenoch says ā€˜western civilisation will be lostā€™ if Tory party fails. Conservative leader calls ā€˜pronouns, diversity policies and climate activismā€™ a ā€˜poisonā€™ in speech at rightwing event. Canā€™t better Kathy Burkeā€™s response to that sort of bullshit šŸ‘‡

Starmer is claiming his government has met a key election pledge to deliver two million extra NHS appointments in England in its first year. The man simply cannot be trusted. He either ditches his pledges or lies about having achieved them šŸ‘‡

We, regretfully, agree. How about you? šŸ‘‡

You could not make this up! Trumpā€™s Republicanā€™s have introduced a bill to Congress to authorise Trump to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland"

Starmer says heā€™s ready to put British boots on the ground in Ukraine. Any British soliders deployed will not be covered by NATO protection, and the "Operation" will cost the British taxpayer hundreds of millions. Choices. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Starmer hates Community Notes šŸ˜‚

So Netanyahu once again breaks the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Just waiting for Trump to set a Saturday deadline for these homes and equipment to be allowed into Gaza or otherwise "all hell" will break out and he will call for all Israelis to be sent to Egypt and Jordan.

Thames Water is launching an appeal for permission to raise bills by a reported 59% to pay for infrastructure and maintenance the taxpayers has ALREADY given it money for. Privatisation of utilities and public services has not worked. Starmerā€™s Labour has to listen to Jeremy. šŸ‘‡

Itā€™s a pledge so ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/s...

Whether you agree with them or not, Farmers have a right to protest and, whilst it might annoy, block traffic, and they are being allowed to do so But Just Stop Oil protestors are serving long prison terms for merely PLANNING a protest which would also have blocked traffic. Howā€™s this work then? šŸ‘‡

Our political discourse on immigration has descended into institutional racism with Labour, the Tories and Reform in a race to the bottom over who can echo what they believe to be the voice of the British majority. Zarah Sultana rightly lays the blame at the door of the people in power.

Keir Starmer: I want the highest quality candidates

A message from Jeremy Corbyn šŸ‘‡

Starmerā€™s Labour has banned its MPs from criticising the Labour Government. Thin-skinned Starmer knows his policies are not in line with Labour values and wants to shut down debate. Itā€™s ok you dissident Labour MPs. We will fill the gap šŸ˜œ www.thenational.scot/news/2493018...

Things are pretty bad when North Korea is on the right side of history šŸ‘‡

Jeremy Corbyn bringing some calm and common sense to the chaos surrounding Trumpā€™s proclamation that he and Putin have a plan for ending the war in Ukraine šŸ‘‡

Economists are forecasting that the UK economy may shrink in the fourth quarter as recession fears rise. Rachel from accounts is flummoxed.

Hmmm šŸ¤” Qwhite the contrastā€¦

How many Israelis were killed by their own army on October 7? Andā€¦. If we can ask that question, why canā€™t the BBC?

"Voters might reasonably think you actually don't have a clue?" Victoria Derbyshire destroyed Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Philp, on national tv last night. (Confession: weā€™ve been a bit selective about the edit at the very end of the clip) šŸ˜œ

Keir gets some sound advice from Ben, but will he take it?

MPs to get a Ā£2,500 pay rise while telling us the country canā€™t afford to compensate WASPI women, or winter fuel allowances for pensioners, or changes to the two child benefits cap. Their ā€˜Independent watchdogā€™ is selected byā€¦ *checks notes*ā€¦ MPs! Weā€™re being dudded, but not by people on benefits

They called Corbyn ā€˜dangerousā€™. They manufactured lies about him. They put everything into destroying him. Because they couldnā€™t have the leader of a country like Great Britain having views like this AND the drive to take action on them.

You know it makes sense šŸ‘‡

Itā€™s almost like Iā€™ve seen that plan somewhere beforeā€¦. Coā€¦. Corā€¦. Corbā€¦.. Cor Blimey! šŸ˜Š

The excellent Richard Murphy explains why, ā€œIt's just going to be torture whilst the path to Starmer's painful demise is rolled out.ā€ www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

Starmer issue a statement of dismay for the frail condition of an Israeli hostage. But nothing for the likes of Ibrahim Al-Shawish, a Palestinian teacher detained by Israel without any charge then released from a prison where food was abundant but apparently withheld by his captors.

ā€œTo say no to President Trump would be to say no to God.ā€ Donald Trump just appointed Televangelist Paula White to lead the White House ā€˜Faith Office.ā€™
