People in the UK should note that in Hungary all the different parties of the left and centre are working together to try to topple their fascist government. It would be far more sensible to work together to prevent the fascists getting any power in the first place.

if I ever go properly "screaming about nothing in particular in the street" mad it will be due to having spent too much time having read about the opinions of men who have absolutely never cared about women's rights for one moment in their lives but decided to pretend just for the sake of racism

So theyโll arrest 474 people for holding signs opposing genocide, but the people trying to burn down immigration centres have legitimate concerns? Is that right? Have I missed something?

Nick Tenconi. Leader of UKIP, last Friday. I have intentionally slowed the clip to demonstrate exactly what he is doing, to avoid any confusion. This sort of thing has become more normalised in so-called Western democracies. Whilst demonstrating against genocide, can get you arrested.

The thing is, even the people who are in favour of proscribing Palestine Action know theyโre not terrorists. They tie themselves up in legalistic knots to justify their position, but they know it. It makes a mockery of the term.

Until 1979 when Margaret Thatcher took over, Water, Energy, Rail and Mail were some of the cheapest and best run services in the entire world.
Then suddenly she said we can't afford them because she wanted to privatise them and they began to fail.
What a strange coincidence.

Always remember that UK Labour Party minister, Jack Straw, shamefully arrogated the right to himself to say Pinochet was unfit for trial, when the Spanish wanted to extradite him for crimes against Spanish citizens. That should properly have been a decision for the Spanish Courts, not Straw.๐คฌ

German ARD Mediathek (the public broadcaster's online content) has just released both German & original versions of the US documentary "The Bibi Files". I can't recommend it enough. It's illuminating in every respect: the man, wife, trial, war, govt coalition, people's opposition. Try to see it.

There are no excuses when genocide is being carried out with YOUR GOVERNMENT support & connivance. YOU are complicit.

It's not an awakening, it's a wake-up call.
Human rights are not an argumentative issue, healthcare is not a privilege, and free speech is not a license to hate.
Voting is only the starting point; monitoring is a civic duty.
