I cannot see Israel ever agreeing to any of this. Their aim is to remove every Palestinian from Gaza, flatten it completely, and take it over: also to continue removing Ann Palestinians from West Bank. Every day ‘negotiations’ continue they get closer to their goal. #WarCrimes #CollectivePunishment #Israel https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ydpwe520go

Abbie in the town of Broken Hill in the middle of Australia is a revelation. Watching the 3rd episode of the Miriam Margoyles series on TV. Abbies shoelace project is a support for gay and trans people and for their allies all over the world.
She’s fourteen and has known she’s bisexual since she was less than ten.

Err, maybe start with the Tory party, who have been in power for the last fifteen years. Outsourcing the blame to Russia won’t really cut it, when so much of it is latent in British society already. Those protecting slavers statues? Those advocating for Brexit? Those demonising anyone who has less money or is disadvantaged in any way? Add in ReformUK party Ltd, GBNews, BBC and the utter failure to deal with TR/SYL for years. It’s homegrown.

Yet anotherTERFy article, which if carried to its logical conclusion will exclude even more women from sport. No one is looking at the equivalent exclusions for men in sport or in any career. I think the answer will be that these are standard genetic mutations and that excluding people on such a basis is wrong. The IOC and other ruling bodies need to come up with very different criteria. Unfair to use Khalif & Lin as no one knows what test was used. They are women. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crlr8gp813ko

Seeing other countries advising their populations to avoid the UK [all of it] because of the fash racist riots and violence is bad enough. The longer term economic consequences will be a lot worse, particularly for third level education. Who would spend fortunes sending their child to University in the UK or Northern Ireland when they could easily be subjected to the violence, racism and hatred that is being displayed at the moment. So many new accomodation blocks for students and no students?

Some of those assembling shouted ‘Free Palestine’, while others used abusive, racist language.

@npub1g97…y82s 😨. That’s awful. Will there be an appeal or can the judge deny it?

F’kin disgusting, vandalism. Paddy the pigeon saved a ton of lives. To tear down and destroy the plaque is vile, ignorant, stupid, hateful. I do hope there’s a bit of CCTV that will show who these assholes are, and that they will be prosecuted. 🤬

Surely this rescue of hostages is a huge #WarCrime ? Using the appearance of a food distribution operation to get troops into Gaza? Having the helicopter on the dock for humanitarian aid? Killing hundreds of women and children? Destroying even more buildings? Since Israel already refused Hamas offer for peace and to release all the hostages months ago, this is horrific. Why does one Israeli life have more value than of thousands of Palestinian ones? #Gaza

I hope this holds for all the counting; but elected parties need to get off their complacent ass, and deal with the far right already. Better sentencing for arson, hate-speech, attacks; implement rent controls, social housing, affordable housing. Could even have a managed site at every town and village with [say] mobiles on it at affordable rent for everyone, and get those tenants into a permanent home asap.

This load of obfuscatory, self-serving drivel is the reply I received, having lodged a complaint about the excessive platforming of Nigel Farage on BBC media. I wonder if it’s worth the time and energy to lodge a further complaint, and tell them I’m not satisfied with this response? I have copied and pasted the BBC reply, so it will spread over a thread of posts here. #BBCBias #NigelFarage
Dear Ms M-B
Thanks for contacting us about BBC News. (1/6)

Would the SNP even want to have an agreement with a party headed by ‘I’m A UNionist’ Starmer? It would make no sense at all. Hopefully the voters will see this and vote SNP, not Labour. A party whose intent could not be more clear - take everything from Scotland, its energy, water, food, independence, decisions. Labour are colonialist occupiers, just a #ToryContinuityParty

@npub1v5a…5yax Is she not a UK citizen by birth? It’s a cruel, dreadful and stressful attitude from the minister’s department. I hope the parents have a lawyer helping them with this.

Unions hoping to hold Starmer to account. I don’t expect him to uphold any commitment or promises to the unions or those who vote for Starmer’s Labour. Decision is whether to continue talking to him, and try to have an effect, or whether to cut loose, stop funding Starmer’s Labour and move on, I guess.

Some food seems to be getting on to the land for residents in Gaza. Hopefully they will be able to receive this without being shelled or bombed. They need a lot more. It would be infinitely better if adjoining countries did not treat Gaza and it’s citizens as a giant jail. #Genocide #WarCrimes #Starvation #CollectivePunishment #Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/mar/15/middle-east-crisis-live-rows-over-hamas-gaza-ceasefire-proposal-israel

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Who will decide what constitutes violence? Already holding blank A4 in public, reminding Jurors of their rights, asking for a Republic, spraying powder or water-based paint, slow walking , being glued or chained to an object, etc are treated as criminal acts of violence. Must we all be silent in the face of all injustice, never express collective displeasure, or individual dismay about any wrong? Gove’s proposal cancels much of democracy.

@npub17e8…85g8 @npub1g0t…tvm4 A dismissive reaction from the cops in many if not all forces seems to be the normal reaction: when women report stalking, assault, abuse, rape, online harassment etc. The standard response seems to be that the victim remove herself from the situation, change contact number, take various protective action… even when presented with evidence, police don’t do anything-referred to Victim Support if lucky.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Streeting is another Tory shill in a Red suit, and has been visiting and liasing with various private health providers and money makers.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Will Labour, once elected, make voter ID a more equitable process? The ID system in place in Northern Ireland works extremely well and has done for many years now. A list of approved photographic IDs, and if you have none of those, you get a free electoral one. Your ID is shown at the polling station. I can use DL, Travel Pass, Passport etc or a voter ID card etc. No-one is excluded by age once eligible to vote.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Taking off shoes when entering a house is a very common thing in many cultures and countries. It makes sense too - dog poo, dirt, sand, grit, tar, etc….
I don’t have medical training, but I don’t think asthma is related to a failure to train the immune system. I know asthmatics who definitely got exposure to all kinds of things; so if it’s a failure to train the immune system, it’s a deficit in the system rather than protection from exposure.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 What happens where they have removed everyone from overseas who works in UK legitimately? Are they then going to start removing people who moved from [say] Wales or Northern Ireland or Scotland to the Shires because they married someone? Where is the logical end to this nonsense? Personally, people should be able to move and have a stable relationship with another in any part of the world, without issue; and once they are declared.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I read the Guardian report on this. He should be sacked. He didn’t just make one distasteful passing ‘joke’ about this; he continued and made several on similar lines. Maybe we will know on Monday if his wife has filed for divorce already. There was a true double murder in NI which involved drugging the other party to an extra-marital affair. Check out the former dentist Howell. It was even made into a film. They very nearly got away with it too.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Has Starmer expressed any opinion on this? He’s annoyed Scotland with his Thatcher eulogy, and recently dropped 11 points in a poll. He needs to stop agreeing with the Tories now. This would be a good place to show a difference, as would be an important and much needed support for the north of England.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I’m so over Labour with Starmer at the helm. I thought he would be good in the early days as he remade the party, but thankfully I’m not a journalist, a gambler or a politician! He’s very nearly as right wing as the current incumbents of No 10. LibDems have never been forgiven for their coalition. Labour & Tory are almost indistinguishable. The English electorate have very little choice, unless they are Green voters [they’re not]. Scotland, Wales & NI have options.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Since this government and likely the next one, is doing all it can to reduce the population in GB, there may be less patients. We are being poisoned by virus, air, water and pollution, starved by poverty and poor food options, less vaccinations, less healthcare, poor housing. UK health and longevity rates are dropping. Current govt logic says less people means less expense on healthcare.
