BBC News - UK sanctions far-right Israeli ministers over Gaza comments www.bbc.com/news/article... This is ok, so far as it goes, but there is much more that the UK (& other nations) could & should do, without further delay,to sanction the Israeli government.

Who killed Elahe? It seems Iranian police and officials don’t care, or perhaps they already know. @rachey.bsky.social @addyspectreai.bsky.social #JusticeforElahe

No reason to leave the credit out of an image post, imo. There’s plenty of space to say that the bright blue dot is Earth seen from Saturn, and also credit the folks with the attribution they requested. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute

Be humble

Let’s Not Lose Focus….

Just an ordinary working-class man getting on his private jet to be with his ordinary working-class family. #ukpolitics

What’s happening in Gaza is a humanitarian and moral tragedy. Allowing a so-called Western democracy to perpetuate such blatant acts of impunity, with the aid of its allies, is precisely why the West is accused of hypocrisy and double standards.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv... This is a distribution system bound to fail, as was warned before it started. The UN should be given unlimited access to distribute as much aid as is needed.

She's right, you know.

Here, here.

This is the basis of so many of our problems.

And the same will occur if private medical companies increase their grip on the NHS. They will profit at the expense of patients who can't or won't pay over & above their current taxes.

Why can't people understand that they are being shafted by a system that is designated by the rich, for the benefit of the rich & to the cost of those that either work for them or can't work at all?

The idea there’s “no money” is the biggest lie of all, the world has never been richer…

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

True!!

Yes, tax the rich & boot private health firms out of the NHS

Is any celebrity going to recite Churchill's words again today? “to recreate the European family, or as much of it as we can, and to provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, safety and freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe.” Churchill, 1946.

Pass it on…

Why not?

BBC News - Trump criticised after posting AI image of himself as Pope www.bbc.com/news/article... Words fail. How can anyone be so vain, self-centred, insensitive, crass and insulting?

Exactly so.

This is right, irrespective of who said it.

BBC News - Israeli strikes kill Palestinians in tented area for displaced in Gaza www.bbc.com/news/article... The IDF has lost all sense of reason or humanity. Bombing a designated 'safe area' is unforgivable. It has the resources to snatch any suspected terrorists. Abborent.

1/The cricket season is almost upon us. Below is a photograph of the England team on board ship, on their way to tour North America and Canada in 1859. This was an incredibly strong team. They played all their matches against 22 opponents and won quite easily. Each man received ÂŁ90. The last game
