βEven today, when the planet is dark, there still is hope. Donβt lose hope. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothingβ Don't lose hope. Also, send Musk and Trump into space on a one-way ticket. π

Anyone would think they want to overload the NHS. None of it makes any sense.
Restrict vaccines = more hospitalisation

A fact that the Global Sumud Flotilla kidnapping should have unveiled but hasn't, until now, is that Gaza has been under military blockade since 2008.
Those weren't Israel's waters they were 'defending', they are Palestine's, that they have been illegally besieging for 17 years

JOURNALIST AND HUMANITARIAN ACTIVIST SARAH WILKINSON HAS BEEN ARRESTED ON HER RETURN TO THE UK FROM THE GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA

Text reads:
"In June, the British boat β the Madleen β was threatened and its crew detained, but we took no action.
"Can the Prime Minister say what has been learned from this, and what steps are being taken to protect the British citizens on this flotilla?"
Starmer responded: "Mr. Speaker, she raised a really important issue in relation to the horrifying situation in Gaza.
"The Israeli government is preventing urgently needed aid from getting in, and that is why we're now seeing a man-made famine, and that should cause us all to pause and reflect."
The Prime Minister added: "We are working with other countries to get aid in by any practical means, but land routes are the only sustainable means of getting aid into Gaza at the scale that is required.
"Israel must lift the restrictions to allow aid agencies to deliver the life-saving supplies that are so desperately needed."
Weasel words from Keir Starmer.
In answer to the question, "What steps are being taken to protect UK citizens?" the answer from Starmer is none.
These are the words of a genocide enabler.
