I condemn Iranian attack on Israel but v worried PM is pitching us into war alongside an Israeli Govt which has breached international law & escalated tensions by bombing Iranian embassy. If UK serious about de-escalation, it must call for an immediate bilateral ceasefire in Gaza
@CarolineLucas@TheSwiv We no longer live in a functioning democracy. Since the utterly self serving Johnson, who should never have been anywhere near political power, we’ve had a succession of Prime Ministers foisted upon us. Each worse than the predecessor. As for that utterly deluded tramp Truss, she is even less able than Johnson was!
The New York Times instructs its journalists not to use the term "Palestine" and not to refer to Hamas as "fighters" but only as "terrorists" because they targeted civilians.
I have never seen this language policy applied to describe violent illegal settlers in West Bank. The NYT simply refers to them as "settlers." @palestine
DWP left dad suicidal after 'vindictive' fine over £110 claimed his home - Manchester Evening News
https://apple.news/AYRSfTmYLRd-nsbA29V_ArQ. They hounded my wife for months demanding all kinds of evidence of her recently deceased mother’s finances. In the end I got a little ‘forceful’ with them, the amount they were chasing? £120. So it’s NOT a one off, there are people employed by the DWP to hound the recently bereaved! We did a bank transfer, even though we disputed the overpayment!
Not only jailed for peaceful protest, but also now facing being struck off by the GMC. The state is working hard to suppress protest in all of its forms in the UK. We have been warned, ignore these signs at your peril.
@Wen I read an article last week where a male doctor was threatened with the same thing. My laziness in not fully reading this article is all too apparent. 😳
@Wen Agreed, but if they do get involved, as was suggested by the article last week, they MUST, side with the doctor not the xenophobic Tory party and their attempt to suppress any and all criticism!
Turns out Charles III is so skint that he’s now charging £100 to visit his late mother’s favourite home, for a further £50 you can have ‘afternoon tea’. I can think of so many things I can do with £150, none of which will be to further enrich a disgustingly wealthy bloke.
Rishi Sunak faces revolt over plan to criminalise homelessness - The Times and The Sunday Times
https://apple.news/Ak9iYMolLQkCx7BgsHSa4YQ. A government that has so badly failed that it needs to criminalise homelessness that THEY’VE caused tells you all you need to know about Tory scum!
So next week I am going for a series of electroconvulsive therapy. So I am going to voluntarily put my brain into seizure due to electric current being sent through said brain.
Can't say that I am not terrified by the idea. This is basically the last thing that can be done to get me out of my lovely treatment resistant depression.
I had to take all my jewellery out and replace them with plastic. All my beautiful greens, Blues and purples are now almost invisible plastic.
Has anyone had this treatment? Anything I need to know?
@Weanerdog my beautiful wife suffered postpartum psychosis over 40 years ago. No medication helped, the only thing that got her out of it was ECT. She hated it, but I got my beautiful wife back. I hope you, too have great success. 🤗
Tories 'Slaughtered' UK Farming With 'Worst Trade Deals In The World', Campaigner Says - HuffPost UK
https://apple.news/ApZToMqb7T7el2CYwx-bn0A. From the data I’ve seen, many farmers voted for Brexit. They had free access to a huge market that the abject folly of Brexit removed. Now they want sympathy along with continued ‘subsidies’.
