Once you go through the door marked ‘activism’, it’s a sheer drop; when you land, you discover that you've been in the wrong room all your life & there's a lot more doors (but no ‘exit’).. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnU6rUuUlzM #Nanas

For me, the right to protest... is the right to fulfil my obligations. I saw harms, engaged with protest and so became 'Activist' ...because trusting governments/industries/regulatory bodies etc. with the future, is clearly not an effective solution.

Yup. This list is why it’s very annoying when people say “Why didn’t Americans protest?” Most major US protests happened in the last decade! They resulted in almost no policy change because officials failed the people over and over. But the people did their part and made their dissent known.

Agree @elliechowns.bsky.social but would also add that it's said/known etc that Israel too is a nuclear threat... Who gets to stop who in this situation?
Israel’s attack on Iran is an incredibly dangerous escalation. This is not the way to tackle the growing Iranian nuclear threat. It’s reckless, provocative and risks full scale war. UK must clearly condemn attack and use every lever possible to de-escalate.
