Same as it ever was. Railways, water, energy, education, security, postal service, healthcare, new innovations (see graphene) it doesn't matter what it is, they sell it off. They don't even fucking own it. Look up the colloquialism 'daylight robbery', for an example of Tory nastiness.

Solidarity with Zack. I can't imagine what it's like trying to have a difficult, nuanced, grown up conversation about an incredibly serious issue and while being constantly shouted at in that way. It's a nightmare just watching.

Its worth mentioning that a lot of the ISREALI BODIES are UNDER ISREALI TANKS inside the eastern flank of Gaza that they still refuse to vacate, to allow Hamas to retrieve their bodies and arrange for their transfer, without getting shot by the Genocidal Zionists

Something no one bothers to mention

Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire at least 36 times, according to reports from Palestinian human rights organizations.

These incursions include drone strikes, shelling, and attacks on civilians returning home — all while a truce was supposed to be in force.

⭕️ Breaking: All 45 bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel arrived with their hands and legs cuffed, CNN reports. They were transferred to Nasser Hospital tagged with numbers, not names, and have yet to be identified.

Drop Site’s full post, linked below, details how Israel is violating the terms of the deal while falsely accusing Hamas of doing so

The bodies of 45 deceased Palestinians transferred from Israel to the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis have not been identified, the hospital’s forensic department told CNN on Tuesday.

All of the bodies arrived at the facility with their hands and legs cuffed, the hospital said.
The remains were being held in refrigerators in Israel and came with numbers marking them, rather than names, according to the hospital.
"Some are blindfolded, and there are signs of gunshot wounds in some cases, while others have been run over by tanks," Nasser hospital said.

Modern capitalism has more in common with Feudalism and the oldstyle slave-system than most people realize.

From: davidgraeber.org/articles/tur...

"In the case of slave mode of production,
the exploiters directly own the primary
producers; in feudalism, both have complex
relations to the land, but the lords use direct
jural-political means to extract a surplus; in
capitalism, the exploiters own the means of
production and the primary producers are
thus reduced to selling their labor power.
The state, in each case, is essentially an
apparatus of coercion that backs up these
property rights by force."
.

*this administration* is doing a fuck ton of heavy lifting here. It's *every* administration since Israel's inception. Israel has killed US servicemen, sunk battleships, steamrolled activists and maybe even orchestrated terror events on US soil. For. Decades. Without US reprisal.

Are they really this thick or do they think we are? Hmmm, what could be attractive about a politician saying that for once they're not going to do us with no lube? In fact going further and saying those that deserve it are gonna get it! What a mystery 🤔

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.

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.
