Zionist Israel lobby groups have worked very hard to promote anti-Muslim racism to build consent for the atrocities committed against the people of Palestine. The collaboration of the far right & Israeli interests is a great danger to all of us.

Elon Musk's henchmen entered the U.S. Treasury Department's headquarters and strong-armed civil service workers to gain full access to the system that cuts checks for all congressionally authorized government payments.
Watching a billionaire seize the checkbook of the government is called a coup.

An independent Scotland could rejoin the EU, regain our individual rights as European citizens, and have our own seat at the table to work with our friends across the continent. 🇪🇺🏴

The UK has flown 47% of Israel's reconnaissance missions over Gaza, more than Israel or the USA, the only two other nations that do.
Should the UK pilots carrying out these missions be culpable for the War Crimes they are massively aiding?

"I was a strong Brexit supporter. I made that decision to try to save our industry. We believed fishing in the UK was going to be stronger. It's what we were promised. Instead it's smaller. It's costing us £60,000pa extra. #Brexit has done me no favours."

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy.
He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served.
