Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Lies over pro-Israel MP "banned" from school The government and the media are lying to you

A Jewish MP was banned from a school because he was Jewish - or so our government and media have suggested.

That is a total lie.

This is yet another cause of how Israel's apologists are shamelessly deceiving you 👇

To anybody still using X: sexual abuse content is the final straw, it’s time to leave | Marie Le Conte It was hard for me to quit Elon Musk’s poisoned platform, but I urge others to do the same, especially in light of Grok’s imagery of women and children, says journalist Marie Le Conte

What astonishes me, saddens me, angers me about Trump...
Is that Brits, Europeans, Canadians even, feel that there is even the slightest chance that we may have to face America as an enemy in war.
He did this.
Nobody else.
Him.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed.

Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.

Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

Good night 💤
The sixties were a time of change. 2025 is the new time of change. We did it then we can do it again.

“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche’ that must be left behind us in the sixties, that his problem.

Love and peace are eternal.”

This isn’t law enforcement doing its job. It’s the escalation of a culture of fear that punishes anyone who dares to document it.

I was at a Japanese garden looking at the koi pond.
The man there pointed out the A koi, the B koi, and the C koi but said "Don't be fooled by that last one..."

"That's the D koi."

Really worrying that Keir Starmer wouldn't commit to a vote in Parliament on a Trump trade deal when I asked him just now.

If the government really thinks it's a good deal for Britain, what are they so afraid of?
