Bob Vylan statement on the fallout from their Glastonbury performance On point and should put all the monetised right wing shitpilots to shame… sadly they don’t do shame #FreePalestine

I am struggling to comprehend that I am living in a time when my government (and a Labor government at that), the opposition, the establishment media and other assorted 'social commentators' are telling me to love and support Nazism, now labelled 'Zionism.' I mean ... no. Fuck off. #GazaGenocide

A decent society has a bias to the poor. That's the real test of moral leadership that anybody should be judged against, Labour is not delivering moral leadership. We are seeing them deliver leadership that focuses only on their needs for survival and not on the needs of the people

Dear BBC Breakfast. I really couldn’t give a shite about what’s been going on at Glastonbury. Kind regards.

Today is Britain at its absolute stinking worst: a full on media and political feeding frenzy targeting someone who righteously sought to punch up for doing so in the wrong way, as we all avert our eyes from a real, genuine evil. Properly grim. Solidarity with Bob Vylan - end the genocide.

Prior to this week I had never heard of Bob Vylan. I’m not sure I agree with all of what they said but what I do agree with is that the IDF are murderers. They are deliberately shooting children. Let’s focus on that, not what the BBC should have done or what they’ll do next.

Thank God for Channel 4 reporting what needs to be reported not what Right Wing puppet masters want us to hear👇🏼👇🏼 Why aren’t BBC, ITV, Sky etc highlighting this rather than plastering Farage and Reform, Trump, Isreal as a victim etc over our screens❓ Because they’re Cheerleaders for the Right Wing🤷🏼‍♂️

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

Disgusting! Snares are still legal in England. Animals get trapped and endure hours of suffering. They must be banned immediately! Share if you agree?

Farage never shows up when it matters. All mouth on wedge issues, but skipped the vote to stop prosecuting women for abortion. Elected to do a job, but stirs division and does nothing. The Invisible Man of British politics. #ukpolitics

If Thatcher's neoliberalism is so fuckin great why can 30 year olds could no longer afford a house in UK– renting or buying – and 30 percent of our are children in poverty, and hundreds of thousands homeless, and millions not able to afford food shelter and warmth and millions in work need benefits?

I completely disagree. Being called “woke” is a f**king badge of honour. It’s the biggest compliment going. If people are so morally hollow that they turn basic human kindness into an insult then good luck to them. But woke is one of the few good things we’ve got going. So, woke it is.
