Russia struggles to support Bashir Al-Assad

Russia struggles to send support to Venezuela

Russia has lost thousands of men to the war in Ukraine

In this state the west is trying to paint Russia as an imminent threat

Why?

The racism in the UK has become so bitter that even the foreign press have begun to report on it

The racism and islamaphobia spread by Farage and Tommy, and spurred on by Kier Starmer is having consequences on the international stage

The government's rhetoric is giving fascists a sense of entitlement to do this kind of thing

If the government doesn't change its tune it will play right into the hands of the fascists who are turning these actions into a massive movement

A harsh criticism perhaps but there is an element of truth to it

Israeli Nationalists and Pre-revolutionary Iranian "bring back the Sha" nationalists were seen together showing support for the attacks on Iran

Iranians who want to see the downfall of the current regime should not look to imperial wars to meet their ends

Two different countries
Two different stories
Two different pictures

But it's the same situation
And it's the same news outlet

Citizens of the nation want to leave as a threat if war looms

Why does the BBC say it differently between the two countries?

Simple

Imperial Bias

Shameful actions by the UK government. It is clear the intentions of the military spending boost was for its imperialist projects

Kier Starmer is a war monger no better than Blair

Jumping at the first opportunity to justify the ridiculous £11bn spending increase

Today is a very special day! Not only is it #NoKingsDay in the US there's also an anti-monarchy protest happening in the UK at Charles' #TroopingOfTheColour

Solidarity to the US anti-King Protestors from the UK anti-Kings Protestors

May we all live in a republic one day

To support Ukraine military is to support war and the use of public funds on war when it can be better spent on much needed education, healthcare, winter fuel payments, housing, PIP ect

The Ukraine war is a proxy war between imperialist powers

Kier Starmer said:

There isn't any money for the disabled people

There wasn't any money for the elderly over winter

There wasn't any money to reimburse WASPI women

But there is money for weapons

Weapons that will make more disabled people

Money that will line the pockets of his friends

Many have said that Nigel Farages reform isn't a real electoral threat as we have seen this type of thing before with BNP or BF

The recent local election results proves them wrong

The 2 party system is dead

"Remember when the most scandalous thing our president did was wear a tan suit?"

*proceeds to list the atrocities committed by the Obama admission*

Obama was just as bad as Trump. He was just quiet and "humble" about it.

Thousands attended a trans rights protest in London and other cities across the country today.

The transphobic BBC is unsurprisingly silent on this

Solidarity to ALL people
Especially trans people

Anti Monarchists were in Durham today protesting against Charles visit for a Maundy service.

Monarchy has no place in the modern day and a democratic alternative is possible.

The bin strikers of Brum have just rejected the latest deal from the council.

The media will now begin to vilify the strikers.

They need our solidarity more than ever.
