Saw a girl in a Franz Ferdinand t-shirt. She couldn't even name 3 other main causes of the outbreak of World War I

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.
Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

For a man who fashions himself a free speech martyr, Mr. Farage seems most at home with Putin and the autocrats of the world.
In Congress he testified freely, calling the UK an “authoritarian” regime but left before all Members could question him so he could be on his TV show!

Remember when Britain had a week of coordinated outrage when a punk band said death to the genocidal Israeli army? In the North of Ireland, a part of my country Britain still sadly has jurisdiction over, this year like every year, British loyalists call for KAT, i.e., all Irish nationalists & Catholics ('Taigs' - derived from my name!) to be killed. Not a dicky bird from Brit media. Are Jews more important than Catholics? That seems like state sanctioned sectarianism.

This is what oligarchy looks like: Jeff Bezos, the 3rd richest man in the world worth $231 billion, can afford to sail into Venice on his $500 million yacht for his $20 million, 3-day wedding to give his bride a $5 million ring because his real tax rate is 1.1%. Tax the rich!

It’s important to understand that BBC Question Time panel members are not chosen based on the number of MPs there are of the party they represent. They are based on the extreme right wing views of talentless, socially ambitious BBC middle managers.

Important context & clarification:
MISE À JOUR : contrairement à ce que dit la propagande israélienne, les ressortissants français n’ont pas refusé d’être rapatrié en France.
Ils ont refusé de signer un document dans lequel ils devaient reconnaître être entrés illégalement sur le territoire israélien, condition fixée par Israël pour leur libération.
C’est scandaleux, inacceptable et doublement faux : d’abord car l’arrestation a eu lieu dans les eaux internationales. Ensuite car les eaux au large de la bande de Gaza ne font pas partie du territoire israélien à moins de reconnaitre l’annexion de la bande de Gaza par Israël.
Monsieur Macron, quand allez vous faire respecter la France ?

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

It is a domestic UK offence under the ICC Act to be complicit in genocide.
The UK has supplied munitions, aircraft parts, aerial surveillance, special forces and diplomatic support to open Genocide in Gaza. Nobody charged.
Kneecap face terror charges for - displaying a flag.

Ignoring an SOS in international waters is a breach of maritime law. Bombing a humanitarian vessel is a war crime. Silence from those who claim to uphold human rights is complicity.
Robert Halkett retweeted
That silence you hear is the entire Republican Party and propagandists waiting for their talking points to excuse one of the most outrageous national security breeches in modern times by all of the leading idiots of the Trump Admin.

How about awarding MPs their salaries on a points system? We can give them a 50-page form to fill out to show us what they have accomplished, and they can be regularly assessed to see if they qualify for money like disabled people. That would be more efficient, right?

Free speech "is in retreat" in Britain, says JD Vance, whose own Government is now targeting critical news organisations with politically-motivated investigations, while banning others from the White House for the crime of referring to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name
Robert Halkett retweeted
The President of the United States welcomed a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.
Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.
If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

It’s WILD to me Farage was so against the new farmers inheritance tax but instead of fighting for farmers in parliament yesterday… he f*cked off to US to support Trump. Remember Farage said he’s the man of the British people? Don’t you get it yet? Your man’s only out for HIMSELF.
