YouTube video by Zoe Gardner ENOUGH of the BBC legitimising anti-asylum protests!

I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities.

I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...

Perhaps the real ‘two tier justice’ is that the foot soldiers who do the racist tweets get jail time, whilst the lieutenants in journalism who write the racist articles and the colonels as editors who spew out the incendiary headlines, and generals who own the papers, just get lots of money.

I recall Castle Street and High St/St Mary's Street being shut for something like this for a Sunday and I'm sure it was more than one year. From the fact that High Street was still open to traffic you can tell this was a while ago

How do you define temporary? Minister says it is up to Rachel Reeves, so could it be 15 years or more?

I've written 4 times to my labour mp about the issue and had nothing at all back. I'm disgusted and all these proposed changes are just making it worse

Phew it’s hot today! Beaver thought Moley might need cooling off too

Summer collection is coming

A body is seen lying in a make shift stretcher pallet. His bones are protruding from his chest a testimony to starvation. Blood is all over the pallet and his arms and clothes. Photo credit to the Palestinian Telegraph.

NEW: While mainstream news goes wall-to-wall on a performative Iranian attack that harmed no-one, Israeli forces have shot dead another 33 starving Palestinians queuing for food.

Aid as bait, death by firing squad.

Posting this here because I’m fucking sure you won’t see it elsewhere.

France urges UK to open legal migration route amid Channel crisis French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin urged Britain on Monday to open a legal route for asylum seekers in order to prevent people risking their lives by taking small boats across the Channel to Eng...

Dear Keir Starmer & co,

You could stop the small boats, smash the gangs, and take back government control over entry to the UK, very quickly if you took up the French offer of a centre to process claims in northern France.

If it was the boats and the deaths you wanted to stop.

"It has been my experience – even travelling across four continents at different times since my transition – that an overwhelming majority of people will take you as you are, not as any government imagines you to be." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

KNEECAP ARE NOT THE STORY If senior politicians can find neither the time, nor the words to condemn, say, the murder of fifteen voluntary aid workers in Gaza, or the illegal starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare, or the killing of thousands & thousands of children in the same territory, by a state in possession of the highest precision weapons on earth; how much notice should a music festival take of their moral advice on booking performing acts? As a band that has spoken publicly for more than 30 years about the illegal occupation, apartheid system and killing with impunity of thousands of Palestinians, we are hyper aware of the both the human cost of abject political silence, and the commercial implications of publicly expressing solidarity with an oppressed people.

Language matters of course. The hideous murders of elected politicians Jo Cox and David Amess means there’s no scope for flippancy or recklessness. But do politicians and right-wing journalists strategically concocting moral outrage over the stage utterings of a young punk band, while simultaneously obfuscating or even ignoring a genocide happening in real time (including the killing of journalists in unprecedented numbers) have any right to intimidate festival events into acts of political censorship? Kneecap are not the story. Gaza is the story. Genocide is the story. And the silence, acquiescence and support of those crimes against humanity by the elected British government is the real story. Solidarity with all artists with the moral courage to speak out against Israeli war crimes, and the ongoing persecution and slaughter of the Palestinian people. Massive Attack.

Massive Attack 👏👏👏👏
