Fun fact, the suffragette movement recently celebrated by government ministers would be proscribed as a terrorist movement by the criteria now used by the same government.

The UK govt is gravely concerned by the killing of journalists in Gaza & are calling for an independent investigation.

Jon Williams from the @rorypecktrust.bsky.social : "Not in a single case of a Palestinian journalist being killed by Israel, has anybody ever been held to account"

What significant injury? Has anyone any information on this claim. As for the rest, if creating damage is enough to have someone labelled a terrorist, then that's a hugely widened criteria now being used by the British state..

I'm an SNP MP. This is why we abstained on proscribing Palestine Action SO, the UK Government got its way. Palestine Action is now proscribed and is officially a terrorist organisation ...

The SNP cited Cooper packaging the Palestinian Action ban with the Maniacs Murder Cult and the Russian Imperial Movement as the reason for the abstention.

After yesterdays events, a reminder that all 9 SNP MPs & 4 Plaid Cymru MPs abstained in the vote on whether to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. All 72 Lib Dem MPs abstained too (6 of them abstained by voting for & against)

Only 22 MP's voted against the ban

The Met now says it arrested 522 people yesterday on terrorism charges for supporting action to stop the genocide in Gaza.

More than a fifth were over the age of 70. Each faces up to 14 years in jail.

I have a massive trade deficit with my barber, but I'm not imposing tariffs on him. What about that does Donald Trump not understand?

If Suleiman Al-Obeid had been killed in Ukraine by a Russian missile do you think UEFA would have left that out if its obituary?

It seems you believe them to be antisemitic for the very fact of calling out Israel's Gaza Genocide and other horrendous atrocities.

Israel is a terrorist, repugnant state and there's no antisemitism involved in that, simply deduction from facts.

Never let it be said that the British government is a never ending source of complete hypocrisy. for that is so obviously true that it doesn't need to be said.

Sure, the facilitators of genocide run the British state.

They can use the state machinery to crush opponents of genocide.

They bet that no government will ever be elected which enforces the Genocide Convention, which criminalises complicity in genocide.

They'll lose this bet.

"Oh bullshit. Stop spreading such lies.
At least we can see who doesn’t like Jewish people"

You equate condemnation of Israel's crimes with hating all Jewish people, therefore quite clearly linking all Jews to those crimes.

Actually not quite "You did it too". After all these territories are considered Russian by Russia so what it is doing, in its eyes, is putting Russian war orphans up for adoption. The US on the other hand did not consider Vietnamese orphans to be American, but snatched thousands of them anyway.

Are you tarring all Jews with the crimes of Israel? I remember when that was called antisemitism.

Since December 2023 though there's been very little in the UK media regarding these daily surveillance flights which you might think is odd given the level of world attention on Gaza, but isn't odd at all if you know anything about the UK media and just how tightly it works with the state.

The decent thing to do would be to stop trying to occupy moral high ground when living in a deep pit of shame, and look for the truth instead of believing everything you want to believe from a media that lies about everything else. BTW if you stand by Ukraine you'll stand by a negotiated peace.

UK’s surveillance flights over Gaza raise questions on help for Israeli military Government says it controls what information is shared as critics question the role of intelligence gathering

The British Government first announced aiding Israel's genocide through surveillance aircraft on 13 Oct 2023, with a claim that these would only help search for hostages the following December. You have to be extremely naive to believe that's all they are doing..

Rethinking the Luddites in the Age of A.I. Brian Merchant’s new book, “Blood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

And they are still doing so. Let's recall that UK foreign secy condemned accusations of genocide in Parliament as "click bait", while at the same time having secret meetings with representatives of Israel and sharing intelligence on Gaza.

Don't tar all Jews with the crimes of Israel you antisemite.

Therefore to put up for adoption war orphans can hardly be described as unusual. Let's also recall that the US did the same towards the end of the Vietnam War with Operation Babylift when thousands of Vietnamese orphans were transported to the US for adoption, often without the consent of families

Ah liberals taking a break from screaming that the NYP prints nothing but lies so quote the NYP when it suits. Leaving aside the inevitable spin from a media that has lied about this and every other conflict, it should be noted that the areas Russia controls are considered by it to be Russian..

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets in Jerusalem with a group of Republican lawmakers on an AIPAC organized trip, August 6, 2025. A group of around 70 men and women are all seen smiling broadly with Netanyahu in the middle (Kobi Gideon/ GPO).

Sometimes a photo stops you in your tracks.

Taken yesterday, Congressional Republicans sit smiling with the key architect of what major international agencies conclude is a genocide.

To answer future generations’ question: this is how it was allowed to happen.

It's difficult to understand how any media or politician can entertain denials that aren't just contrary to what the world can see, but also contrary to the statements from the Israeli regime itself.

So explain why it's nonsense. Are you saying Labour hasn't been playing up to the Reform vote over small boats?

It seems those most wanting to fight to the last Ukrainian are sitting comfortably in western countries far from the actual dying. How can they claim to stand with Ukraine when they clearly oppose a negotiated peace?

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich smiles next to graffiti reading "Death to Arabs" on a wall in the northern West Bank settlement of Sanur.

As long as you follow the rules that you are meant to oppose, rules set by the same political class that nestles in the pocket of wealthy lobbies, then anything you do is fine.. according to his Labour government.

You know why, ever since independence there was an unresolved dispute regarding the status and rights of states and that of the federal government. Slavery may have been an issue that impacted on that unresolved dispute but had there been another issue, the same outcome would have materialized.
