- Reposted by SimonThe problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.
- Reposted by Simon“The thing that we all insisted wasn’t happening and scolded people, and agitated for their blacklisting, arrest and exclusion from the public square for saying was happening, that thing we all said was cynical terrorist agitprop by gullible fools? That thing? Well, we would like it to stop now.”

- The absolute state of replies to this are a testament to the power of consent manufacturing. Or, cognitive warfare, as NATO terms it. NATO exists to advance western imperialism, not protect western civilians, you fucking marks! And, to that end, makes the world far more dangerous, not less.
- Green Party leadership frontrunner Zack Polanski tells me the UK must now end its membership of NATO, because of Trump. Polanski says that Trump's presidency means the "Age of NATO is over" and his party should now abandon its commitment to the alliance bylinetimes.com/2025/05/08/g...

- Reposted by SimonI’m up against the biggest names in journalism for the Amnesty People’s Choice Award. You get to vote on whose journalism has most promoted human rights over the past year – a year in which the media still refuses to name Gaza as a genocide.

- Just heard John Mearsheimer say ‘Keith Starmer’ on a podcast 😂
- Once, on the floor of a Glastonbury toilet, I saw an entire, freshly-coiled turd and someone had seen fit to stick a tiny England flag in it. I think about that often.

- Incredible interview with Richard Forer on Israel/Palestine: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...
- Vital listening, this. Richard Medhurst is still being harassed and prevented from working under by our govt. He notes that this (and many other journalists’ vexatious arrests) started soon after Starmer took office. Trump’s no aberration, fascism is already here in the UK. youtu.be/frm2Ckcsm7M?...
- For anyone who wants to see David Mencer, former LFI Director and current Israeli Spokesperson, so roundly spanked, dragged and humiliated he should be wearing a gimp mask, watch this. The excellent nterlocutor is Norwegian journalist, Yama Wolasmsl. youtu.be/UOB-otPKYPE?...

The massacre took place on the night of 23-24 of March 2025. Ten days later, 4th April, the commander of the same army unit (Golani Recon) was filmed instructing his soldiers: "Everyone we meet in Gaza is an enemy. We identify a person, we shoot, we kill, and carry on. Don't get confused." - Reposted by Simon[Not loaded yet]
