Farage supports use of RAF to bomb Iran.
Our parents fought in WWII and many died fighting Fascism. They would be appalled to see it deeply ingrained into American government and Nigel Farage’s party
Farage is a betrayal to our families who fought so hard for peace

Rubio gets an ovation at the European 'Security conference'. He's referring to military security of course, the kind that makes him shed loads of money.
A friend said to me 'the Americans are crazy' - but it's not the people, just the government.
Same in Europe and the UK.
Protect your billionaires
I read an Open Democracy article about Iran, in which the government was referred to as 'the regime'. I complained to Open Democracy about that, and the general negative framing used in the article.
There has been no reply.
Shame that Open Democracy blindly perpetuates western demonisation of Iran
Strange how immediate condemnation follows Russia's conflict with Ukraine, arrest warrants are issued at the ICC for Vladimir Putin.... but
America invades a sovereign state, kidnaps its legitimate leader, kills 80 people in the process and no condemnation follows.
Any hypocrisy apparent?....
Two massive data centres planned for the outskirts of Edinburgh would each cause similar amounts of climate emissions to Edinburgh Airport. I've emailed Edinburgh Council to demand a full Environmental Impact Assessment. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ed...
good to see the co-operation between Hind Rajab and Europol:

Look at the investment portfolio of Allianz and other big corporate insurers. They act for their own profit motive, which is detrimental to people, damaging our environment & climate.
Support the movement to ditch big insurance at Glastonbury and elsewhere:

Surely Nigel is holding meetings with his constituenets to find out about their problems? Or has he cast them adrift now they've served their purpose?....
Nigel Farage....
See Farage for what he truly is. He is not in the least bit interested in the real problems of the British people.
So America, the country that for decades promoted itself as the good guy to be looked up to, now indiscriminately kills people in boats, with no evidence other than 'they're baddies'.
America gone bad....the only good news is that it's the crazy government, not the people of America.
Many would ask, given the internationally recognised Genocide in Gaza: Why does the UK still have an Israeli ambassador in place?
It's very difficult to see people in power smiling like this when so many women and children have been slaughtered by Israeli forces. What's to smile about????
We can't stop deforestation without the experts: Indigenous people. 💚
At #COP30, the UK govt has a chance to champion their rights, funding and legal protection.
Tell the UK climate minister: back the forest defenders. Sign our open letter. action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/def...
If you're wondering why the meeting between Trump and Putin was cancelled, here's my take....
Trump to Putin:
We need a ceasefire in Ukraine. I will guarantee it
Putin to Trump:
Will it be the same kind of guarantee that's in place for Lebanon, Syria and Gaza?
An absolute disgrace that American cultural heritage is destroyed by a bulldozer and these companies think that's ok.
Given the way that mainstream media is owned and governed by paymasters, I guess it's logical that they'd be concerned about a new government which sees things through the lens of health & wellbeing of the population, rather than maximisation of corporate profit.
Review the BBC...
One of the world's oldest Jewish communities, living in Iran...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeUn...
A 2700 year old Jewish commnunity lives in Iran. They have a reserved seat in the Iranian parliament.
Strange that we never seem hear about this in western media. The community are not Zionists which may have something to do with it perhaps?
Real people and communities live behind media headlines
completely with this on the principle of 'keep it simple'. Containers just add in layers of complexity....
Mr Farage's defence of this is that 'Brexit was not delivered'.
So, if he gets into power, presumably it will be delivered. In that event, God help us all....
So much hatred and division in the Tice/ Farage rhetoric, but so much hope and unity of purpose from Polanski's Greens and Yourparty.
Poor old Ian & Duncan Smith, he obviously doesn't know about this from within Israel:
'Maccabi Tel Aviv’s derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled due to violent fan behavior '
Why export that to the UK?
Google wants to build an enormous new data centre in Essex - emitting 570,000 tonnes of CO2 and concreting a local wildlife site. Tell the local council to refuse planning permission! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/th...
It's easier to understand 'why' when one reflects on George Orwell's Animal Farm. The analogies and metaphors of politics today are astounding.
Does the following match cancellation within Israel give any clue:
'Maccabi Tel Aviv’s derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled due to violent fan behavior '
The British government must now decide whether it aligns with Prince Andrew and the Monarchy, or whether it does what the British people would deem the right and essential thing, and strip Prince Andrew of his titles and taxpayer funded privileges.
A test of integrity and basic morality.
which really just reinforces the British Government's complicity in the Genocide. No honesty, decency or integrity.
Time for change.
Starmer great on rhetoric and pledges, gets told 'the right things to say',but doesn't realise that non delivery is a fool's paradise.
He is recognised for all the empty pledges. It would be better for him if he were to remain silent, at least then the hole wouldn't get any bigger....
the answer is of course in media bias and buy out. Sadly this includes the BBC.
When a new 'real' government is elected, reform of the BBC must be high on the agenda so that balanced representation can resume.
