Video shows appalling police treatment of anti-genocide 76yo Audrey White
Footage is shocking even for Starmer’s police state – but not surprising Skwawkbox reported on Sunday that legendary Liverpool activist Audrey White and three others had been arrested f…
Am sure everyone in the UK has seen this, but for others watching the rise in totalitarianism and policing of protest from afar, here is the arrest of Audrey White - a 76 yr old activist here in Liverpool - at an anti-genocide protest in #Liverpool on Sunday (yes, 2025)

Greece's Migration Ministry say they intend to worsen food quality in refugee camps. The plan is part of a policy to further normalise harmful living conditions.

Israeli forces have killed more than 50 people waiting in a food queue in Khan Younis, #Gaza, which is being called a massacre.
How many massacres make a genocide?
What is the point of international law in these cases?

I supported Israel's actions in Gaza in October 2023 — not anymore
Critics were wrong that Israel’s actions in October of 2023 met the definition of genocide — but they are right in 2025.
This is what public hand washing looks like.
Every genocide has had similar articles - once a predictable and obvious genocide has unfolded, pretend you didn't forsee the undeniably obvious

In 1981, MI5 introduced in NI, in secret, a strategy which permitted state agents and informers to commit crimes, including murder, with impunity. Crucially, there was no legal framework. This is what is being covered up and why legal costs are so high. See my book Decades of Deceit.

Green title on a paper background says "state killings in Northern Ireland and legacy of deceit" with subtitle: "40 years later and still waiting for justice". A book cover is pictured, with the text: "Decades of Deceit: The Stalker Affair and its legacy, by Paddy Hillyard".
A timeline with two years: 1984 and 2024. Under 1984, it lists the details of John Stalker's investigation into three shoot-to-kill incidents by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). It describes that the investigation was blocked and Stalker was pushed out. Under 2024, it marks the passing of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act which reinforced the difficulty of accessing justice. It also states that, despite promises to repeal and replace the Legacy Act, the current government has yet to do either.
A new book, Decades of Deceit: The Stalker Affair and its Legacy, traces how a 1984 state killing cover-up in Northern Ireland set a precedent for decades of impunity and secrecy—right up to today’s ‘legacy’ inquests into killings during the 'Troubles'.
