"Do not be distracted. Do not lower your voice" - Exactly this. It's not over the Trump / Israeli media blitz is trying to convince the world that it is. Most of the media have swallowed this. Ignore them, it's not over, the genocide goes on by other means. Keep on.

A Green government would proscribe the Israel Defense Forces as a terrorist organisation.

The forces currently actioning war crimes and genocide upon the people of Gaza on behalf of the Israeli government.

This must not be allowed to continue.

Watched Sky News. They had a report surging online racism against footballers and the presenters asked "why is this happening?". This was literally minutes after the same show had the Tory party chairman defending Jenrick's racism. It was like they were two unconnected conversations.

Both Labour and the Tories are heading for massive losses in May, both led by leaders dragging them down. Yet both are waiting for defeat before dumping their leaders. The dinosaur parties can see the cliff and still won’t turn. Same attitude they have to running the country.

'Fizzing with ideas', really?
NOTHING on the NHS, social care, schools, renters, the environment
Media: "oh look they'll get rid of Stamp Duty" so young buyers can save a few grand on houses they can never afford.
Like Labour and Reform, no real solutions, just gimmicks.

After 14 years of Tory cuts, collapse and underinvestment, their big new plan is… more cuts.
They’ve learnt nothing. They’ve wrecked public services and deserve to be destroyed at the ballot box.

Currently Establishment politicians and media are confirming:
- there is a hierarchy of racism
- there is two tier policing
- there are no human rights
- there is no international law
Expect more confirmations soon

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

Out of touch: 66%
Unclear what they stand for: 65%
Weak: 62%
Untrustworthy: 61%
Incompetent: 59%
Keeping promises: 77% have little to no trust

Stamer must go, he has no mandate.
In the election Labour got 33% of the vote but got 63% of the seats, no mandate there. And now over half of the public want him gone.
Labour now need to do the only thing they live for, start a coup. Get Starmer out.

This is the same script they always use.

"X government program/department doesn't work!"

"So, you're going to fix it?"

"No, we're going to cut funding and sell off the pieces to private equity so they can turn it into a meat grinder for the poor!"

Every right wing party does this now.
