In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Sparks!!

I started reading @2000ad.bsky.social in October 1978 when it merged with Starlord and have been an annual subscriber for many years. My reading has, however, fallen a little behind until a foot injury encouraged me to hit the backlog today. I started at Prog 2000 from 2016! Only 437 progs to go!

What we’re witnessing is the result of Israel acting with impunity. It is committing genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank & has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen & Iran without any accountability. The UK must end ALL arms sales, sanction Israel & expel its ambassador.

I had walked every road in City of London then they extended St Bride Street so I’m going back tomorrow to reclaim my 100% badge. #LoveLondonWalkLondon

Little Women at Richmond tea was not my usual cup of theatrical tea but it entertained without fuss. hamlife.blogspot.com/2025/06/litt...

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

So looking forward to this!

No #bbcwato, a car did not “drive” into a crowd, it was driven by a person. Language matters.

The local pub music scene has all but died following Covid and rampant gentrification of pubs so it was brilliant to be able to venture out again to see Mememento at The Cavern in Raynes Park. hamlife.blogspot.com/2025/05/meme...

I have now walked all 1,135 streets in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. #LoveLondonWalkLondon hamlife.blogspot.com/2025/05/i-ha...

Over 6 million eligible voters in England and Wales remain missing from the electoral register. That's 6+ million reasons to bring in automatic voter registration. Not enough? Here's 3 more: it's tried & tested, it's more secure, and it's a money saver. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

🇵🇸 Stay on the streets 🇵🇸 🚨 Next National March for Palestine 🗓️ Sat 21 June ⏰ 12 noon, 📍 Central London, route TBA #StopArmingIsrael #stopthegenocide

@bigissue.com are pushing for a Poverty Zero law and I heartily agree with them so have signed their petition. win.newmode.net/bigissue/ask...

🚨 PSC statement: The steps taken today by the government are grotesquely inadequate and will serve to maintain Britain’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. It must introduce a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel now. Read the full statement here: palestinecampaign.org/david-lammys...

I’ve seen Gold Rush play Neil Young songs at Half Moon Putney soooo many times and they keep getting better. Another brilliant evening. #keeponrockin

I’ll be there, obviously, because it’s genocide and the UK is complicit.

It's quite simple. You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out. The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.
