Accusing Israel of anything can't be antisemitic.

A state is not a person, it is not a religion.

Please do not give any credence to their ridiculous lies.

At the end of Louis Theroux's documentary he has to hide from the IDF as they are hunting Palestinians and he suspects they might kill him too.

Theroux says, "Can we ring the Police."

And the Palestinian laughs, there is no one who will protect them from Israel.

Brits are shocked at how expensive US Healthcare is.

Which is exactly what Nigel Farage wants to bring to the UK.

β€˜We are going make a tonne of money’: US Senator Graham on US war on Iran The veteran GOP senator appears to suggest that the war on Iran was launched to gain control over its oil supplies.

Money Money Money πŸ’°. Let's not pretend this illegal war is anything but armed robbery. Along with the Venezuelan heist. #Iran #Israel #USA

Starmer Is Repeating Blair’s Iraq Catastrophe By allowing US forces to use British bases to bomb Iran, Keir Starmer is echoing Tony Blair’s obedience to Washington β€” dragging Britain into yet another criminal war.

"#AbolishTheMonarchy"

"But what about the House of Lords, Lords, Peerages, Knights of the Realm and 40% of the UK owned by the same people for the last 500 years!"

"Abolish all that too!"

I remember when the Jimmy Saville revelations broke and all of the initial reporting and shocked blue-tick commentary was full of film and photos of Sir Jimmy with the Royal Family, laughing it up with PMs and so on. One day later, it had been crudely amputated and cauterised to a BBC-only scandal.

The retirement age will soon be 68 in the UK.

The average healthy lifespan of a man in the UK is 60.7 years.

This means they will be expecting at least 50% of men who cannot stand for 10 minutes at a time to work for another 7.3 years.

Does that seem like it will work?

Donald Trump is demanding that the UK let him use the UK's Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean to strike Iran.

This would make the UK an aggressor which is not illegal without declaring war but also means we will be a legal target for Iran.

We cannot let that happen.

Over two years, Israel has spent billions killing tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, destroying homes, farms, and infrastructure in a genocidal war.

Now it joins Trump’s Board of Peace, ostensibly to β€œrebuild” the same territory where it committed genocide.

Lets see who Reform has said they hate.

The Working Class they have had it too good for too long.
Women they better start having babies or they'll get taxed.
Pensioners, the State Pension is unaffordable.
Anyone who wants NHS Healthcare.

Why would you vote for that

The patent for Insulin was sold for $1 by its inventor so it could be provided almost for free.

Insulin costs $2 to make in the USA.

The average price of insulin in the USA is now $1500 a month.
