(from)The Second Coming
By WB Yeats

“Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned; / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity."

People, especially the media, keep calling it a war. You need two sides for a war. This is genocide with a resistance trying their best to, at least, slow it down.

Funded by the same dark billionaire money that funds trump, schooled by Bannon, Bought et al and a real candidate for next Prime Minister of the UK. Fascist scumbag.

A classic of the genre - posted, then deleted by Sky News on X.

Who made the starvation and malnutrition possible?

Also, war in Gaza 'had changed her'? It has 'changed' 100s of thousands of Palestinians - from alive to dead, or suffering life changing injuries.

Imagine destroying everything that 2 million people own, every possession, and thinking you aren't a reprehensible bunch of cunts.

For the avoidance of any doubt:

TRUMP CONFIRMS HE WAS AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN THE GENOCIDE:

'Bibi Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never even heard of, but we got them here didn’t we? You used them very well" (the 'ceasefire' press conference 13/10/25).

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

The Lib Dems gave us the Conservative government, then Nick Clegg messed up a proportional representation referendum. Swinson declared her priority was to stop brexit but when offered an opportunity to do so by Jeremy Corbyn 🧵
