USAF B-52H heavy bomber returning back to base in England after an Iran strike yesterday.
Former teachers. Friends. Colleagues.
All being called by the press - even having people turn up at their homes - desperately trying to dig up & create stories.
The billionaire class are scared of this movement.

Sentenced to 2 years in jail for putting tomato soup on glass, which took 10 seconds to wipe off.
Not in Iran, in the UK.
Not sure which generates the most schadenfreude... tax avoiding immigrants in the UAE having to leave because of Israel and the USA's preemptive attacks in Iran, or their fear of returning to the safety of the UK, and having to pay that tax they avoided 🤔

Farage has a tantrum over Reform’s abysmal stewardship in Worcestershire. They promised to cut council tax but it’s up by 9%! They blame the last Tory regime. What they don’t mention is that Reform council leader Jo Monk was one of those Tories until recently! Awks 😬

The ever brilliant Stephen Flynn of the SNP pointing out Starmer has enabled war crimes by allowing US bombers the use of RAF bases 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

"Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."
The radical right wants you to believe that London is dangerous - but the facts say otherwise.

Science publishing is broken:
-The public pays for scientific research.
-Scientists do the research and writing.
-Colleagues review the research for free.
-Scientific journals paywall most research, withholding it from the public, while raking in crazy profit margins of >30%.

Damn autocorrect- principles
To defect once, can be on principal. Defecting twice (or more) you are either have no principals or you are an aspiring comedian looking for source material (adapted from Richard Pryor). Btw a quick Ecosia/Google search of his Companies house records is… interesting
Sarah Sackman: "The British governments position is clear, we want to see a de-escalation of this conflict"
.. and that's why we're allowing the US to use British military bases to bomb Iran!
Sackman & the govt are treating us like fools.
