"It is essential that we hold immigrants to higher standards than we hold ourselves. Double standards have been a proud British tradition since the Enlightenment and are a founding principle of colonialism."

Britain has now spent £60m and killed half its population of badgers, having ... 🥁🥁🥁 ... absolutely no effect whatsoever on bovine TB. You know what spreads TB to cows? Other cows, especially factory farming (and maybe sheep and deer).

So what are MPs planning to do next?

Vaccinate badgers.

The cull is collapsing under its own weight, and it is collapsing because people refused to accept a lie.

Israel will pay no price, the media are already whitewashing the genocide and giving the fascist president Trump the plaudits he craves but does not deserve.

Western media still privileges Israeli over Palestinian lives

Mainstream coverage exposes Western media's enduring pro-Israel bias, as Israelis are humanized while Palestinians are erased from view.

The only crisis is the failure of all the world's leaders to address inequality, humanitarian violations and climate change, mainly driven by capitalism and imperialism.

Were they to address these issues this people would have no need to flee their homes.

Israel deport "freed" Palestinian hostages.

This is another violation of international law but it's OK because, y'know, Israel!

In an assembly of clowns Starmer emerges the biggest and saddest clown of them all.

The embarrassing term "special relationship" has always been a construct of the UK political and media class desperate to prop up Britain’s crumbling position on the world stage.

Surely the BBC couldn't be biased towards Israel?

Or perhaps they should be renamed the Bibi C.

Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the British public about Gaza

The BBC international editor is required to report what Hamas actually thinks. Otherwise he is not a journalist, he's just another western propagandist

Jobless and homeless before I was 20 in the late eighties.
Thatchers war on the working class and the unions meant all the traditional industries had to go.
YTS schemes where you were either cheap Labour or given poor quality training no employer would recognise.

The security services were heavily involved (Integrity Initiative) in destroying our first hope of mild democratic socialism in 40 years. It’s democracy they’re scared of.

The Gaza ‘peace deal’ will not liberate Palestinians. It will allow the racist, apartheid, settler colonialist state of Israel to continue its murder and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians with the cooperation of Western war criminals.
