Deviously corrupt. Anyone else despairing of this manโ€™s lack of morality?

David Lammy: "We must also praise the courage of ordinary Russians taking to the streets of Moscow, in St. Petersburg and beyond, under the threat of repression, to show their opposition to this despot"

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Looks strong, and a bench of starters like that is something no other SPL team has. Every chance to win back some pride after the cup final

Will the pod be mainly focussing on the race for 16th place again this year or is that entirely dependent on assuming itโ€™s Spurs and Man U again?

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS

POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR

by Our Apocalypse Staff
HELENA HANDCART

THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode.
It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services,
not to
mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed).
Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).

Gaza latest: Netanyahu says he wants Israel to take control of entire enclave Israeli leader suggests he would pass responsibility for governing the Strip onto Arab forces

Israelโ€™s plans to illegally occupy Gaza are a grave violation of international law and will cause further suffering and subjugation of the Palestinian people.

All governments must oppose these disgraceful plans โ€” and sanction Israel immediately.

The lack of leadership shown by UK Gov on Sudan and their silence on these atrocities is a national disgrace and should haunt them forever

Lord Dannatt urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at request of US firm Police officer was concerned ex-army chief, a Teledyne adviser, sought to have โ€˜inputโ€™ into factory attack investigation

Another deeply concerning allegation, the latest in a long line of apparent commercial and political lobbying against protest movements, some of which has led to the extremely repressive legislation we now face.
Powerful lobbyists are the bane of democracy.

Why are the wealthy so well off? The accumulation of wealth has been driving inequality for decades. In the first of two articles we explain the injustice of our wealth taxation

Why do the rich keep getting richer?

Because we tax work more heavily than wealth.

This explainer lays out how the UK tax system quietly helps the wealthy stay wealthy โ€“ and why that needs to change.

Public ownership is the only way to save the water industry Public ownership is the only viable alternative but is opposed by the government

Govt's ยฃ100bn price for nationalising England water is bogus

ยฃ100bn calculated by OFWAT: Value at privatisation X annual rate of inflation + investment; repeated each year. The answer does not represent any value.

On this basis a car bought for ยฃ10k in 1989 would have ยฃ50k value.

Utter nonsense
