The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?

What a joke, since when did British Justice have to be delayed because someone wants a jolly in Israel.

Tommy Robinson should have been thrown in prison.

Alex Jones appeal against his $1.4bn fine to Sandy Hook victims who he claimed were committing a hoax has been thrown out.

Now it is time to throw Alex Jones into prison until he pays, or he can spend the next 100,000 years working it off.

#NigelFarage has earned more than £1m from overseas“work”since the general election
That’s more than any other MP–and twice as much as the next highest earner,the ultra-rich Rishi Sunak.
Enough of the populism.

The richest 150 people in the UK make £300m a week and pay almost no tax on it.

Does anybody really think that is acceptable?

(They own Energy, Banks, Supermarkets, Telecoms, Mobile Phone Companies etc, so it is all money coming from you)

See how the Foreign Office views the “principles” at stake in the Ukraine war.

Similar principles are also at stake in Israel’s genocide against Gaza while the UK has been supporting Israel.

So much for principles.
