Israel is openly ignoring the Ceasefire in Gaza and continuing their killing. Of course the Media is ignoring this. But when they inevitably fight back, Israel and the Media will use it as an excuse to exterminate them all. Everyone should stop arming the War Criminals Israel.

Small Government means big billionaires. Or trillionaires in this case. People really should wake up to that, in 'small' Government you will pay just as much. You just won't receive anything at all, no pension, no schools, no disability, no healthcare.

The only people who benefit from NHS privatisation are the private company shareholders. Private companies treat the NHS like a cash cow. They train barely any staff. They mostly don’t provide emergency services. They often cherry pick easy cases+ leave complex cases to the NHS. It needs to stop.🚨🚨🚨
