We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".

And so it begins.

Historical photo book called “Images of England: Southall” by Jonathan Oates

Historical photo book called “Images of England: Southall” by Jonathan Oates

Two-panel comic strip. An old, uniformed army veteran in an armchair tearfully muses “Those were the days” as he leafs through a book called “Yesteryear: Scenes from the Past”. We then see two full-page images inside the book: in one, a tyrannosaurus rex devours a stegosaur beneath dark skies and in front of an erupting volcano, and in the other an enormous prehistoric long-toothed cat is attacking a screaming neanderthal.

This photo-history book (about our hometown) that my dad wanted is out of print, but I managed to find a mint copy in time for Father’s Day.

And hence made him this card.

Support my little sister's treatment and save what remains. This story was written by Nadine herself. I, her brother, have set up this fundraiser on her behalf, as she currently has limited access to manage it. Every donation you make goes directly to helping ...

The STEM student I support asked me to share this fundraiser for her best friend — they’ve known each other since primary school and ended up doing the same degree.

Nadine is also trying to finish her studies online while supporting her family.

Reposts appreciated. 💚

In the last year and a half, I have seen countless images of the bodies of murdered Palestian children. But almost no footage of Hamas fighters dead or alive.

It's almost like the violence is entirely one-sided.

It’s like this right across the board: a major function of the British press, particularly the broadsheets, is the location and promotion of useful wingnut cranks who can provide endless easy content about people the staff appear to despise and want to harm, by denouncing things.

Starmer understands: Shed a few tears and we'll forgive him arming a genocide All cabinet minister Heidi Alexander needed to do was sound upset at the "harrowing and sickening images" out of Gaza, and she won a round of applause from the audience

If like Tony Blair, Starmer never pays a price for his international crimes, his successor will feel equally free to assist in future crimes against humanity.

Starmer and his ministers need to be in the dock of the Hague…What they don’t need is our applause

Dude, read your quote-posts. We've already seen your public meltdown in support of a genocidal, apartheid ethnostate. The fact that you still can't bring yourself to use any of those words to describe Israel says everything.

⭕ *UPDATE:* Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians approaching a U.S. aid distribution point in the Netzarim area of central Gaza, wounding at least 20 people.

🟢 #Hamas spokesman Jihad Taha

We are discussing the Witkoff proposal for a ceasefire with high responsibility, alongside all factions.

The Witkoff proposal does not take into account the understandings that the movement presented to the mediators, but we are discussing it seriously.

Gerry Adams’ BBC libel win risks more benign view of Troubles taking hold Concerns raised that hefty award to politician over Spotlight episode could lead to less hard-hitting journalism

Tl;dr: "Being caught lying is not a good look for journalists, therefore we must deplore the decision of the court to find journalists guilty of lying".

TL;DR We're gonna keep doing exactly what we're doing and pretend lots of genocide victims are lying about arbitrary bans.
