RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

Trump worse than Thatcher at selling off national family silver and literally the nation’s art.
Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

Lineker says I’m getting on a bit, I’m fairly secure so I can speak out on Gaza. Well I’m getting on a bit and I have nothing to lose apart from social media platforms and I’ll speak out anyway because it’s simply a matter of right and wrong and what Israel and its supporters are doing is wrong
Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."
"But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

When I was young and the Beatles were changing the world we put 40% of our money into services we need. Now it’s 5% and the other 35% goes to the billionaires that we won’t tax and who are in charge of our lives. Get it?
In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...
