Brilliant result from Hackney where a billboard without planning permission has now been removed 👏

Our high streets are better without corporate advertising.

If we consciously avoid Mcdonalds, Burger King, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's - and absolutely #BoycottBarclays - we can stand against companies profiting from the horrifying Genocide in Gaza @bdsmovement.bsky.social

After Israeli police barred us from carrying photos of children killed in bombings in Gaza, claiming they “incite violence,” we put up hundreds of ads in public spaces across Israel bearing the faces of children whose lives were cut short.
