1500 people have been arrested under terrorism laws in the UK- for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. The UK’s chief prosecutors must now decide whether to prosecute them. We need to urge them not to. Add your name to the letter. www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/end-...

Out of interest what are British values? We hear a lot about them, but I have never seen them defined or elaborated.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

Britain is aiding Israel’s nuclear force UK companies have sold £9m worth of technology for Israel’s submarines, which are believed to house nuclear weapons.

As the US & UK say Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon, Israel is awaiting the delivery later this year of its German-built sixth submarine, set to carry nuclear arms.

UK ministers have authorised dozens of exports of components for Israeli subs.

Just think how many more jobs the same money spent on home insulation would fund.

It's not job creation. It's an insult

Unbelievable!
Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.

Education should be for life, not just for work.

"I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb."
