Iโ€™ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And Iโ€™m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that Iโ€™m lying.

I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didnโ€™t post earlier is that I didnโ€™t want to raise undue attention

Another hideous block of headlines in the Guardian.

Meanwhile, Starmer is still in his "deplore and wait" phase, incapable of taking concrete action.

Gaza is his Iraq, and like Iraq for Blair, the stain will never leave him.

You've GOT to be kidding me!

The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...?

So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?

"Weighing 2,000lb the BLU-109 and its sister weapon the Mark-84 are some of the largest bombs on the market. Since the bombing started the US has sent Israel more than 15,000 of them. Their explosive power means they can kill people hundreds of metres from the point of impact"

Those who weaponise aid and kill under its cover must face justice My friend Nader was killed at a GHF site. I want those responsible for his murder held to account.

My friend Nader was killed at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site. I want those responsible for his murder held to account. Silence over these crimes is complicity, and silence today means they will happen again tomorrow.
