🤯A year of all out strike action by bin workers. A year of failure by @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social

It has wasted £33m trying to break the strike & has failed to attend a single negotiation for nine months!

When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.

Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.

This clip clearly states the facts as to how we got to present day Iran. This should be required viewing for ALL Americans. How many Americans know about the 1953 coup? Always about the oil.
