Learning lessons from the way the UK Government have tried to shut down advocacy for the Palestinians, no doubt.

That's the entire point of Antifa, by the way
It's decentralized and autonomous nature makes it effective in fighting fascist regimes

The GOP is the party of pedophiles and this needs to be hammered relentlessly by every single Dem. These people are sick fucks who think they won’t face consequences.

Farage and Lowe sit in private members clubs rubbing their hands with glee as radicalised droogs commit the racist ultra violence they incited.

Their mansions won't be targeted, they won't be jailed but their net worth will increase.

Because this is how it works.
It's how it's worked since 2015.

It’s clear the Labour Government is deliberately delaying the peat compost ban - which was ready to action over a year ago - to buy more time for companies selling peat compost to make money from destroying natural habitats. It’s pathetic and harms the good companies that made the switch voluntarily

This morning on my walk I saw a greater spotted woodpecker land on the wall just two meters in front of me. And I was so overawed I didn’t even think to try getting a picture. Our canal paths are delightful.

Let frustration knowing
our corrupted, psychopathic politicians
are arming the most brutal carnage
fuel the anger of non-violent opposition

Imagine inviting a bunch of plastic friends with their plastic faces to celebrate the most tone-deaf wedding I’ve ever seen, and expecting people to be impressed?

Ugh. Stop giving your money to Amazon.

I know I’m a few weeks late on this, but it’s been rattling around my head, so…

Who thought hiring out the whole of Venice was going to impress people. Weeks later and the moment I see any mention of it, or Bezos, and I find myself writhing in disgust.

The use of the Terrorism Act to proscribe Palestine Action is disproportionate and sets a dangerous precedent.
