stopthetescotoxictowers.blog… Questions for @BHRUT_NHS board to support stop the @Tesco Toxic Towers campaign. "53% of term babies admitted to the neonatal unit had breathing problems" begs question of whether a disproportionate live by busy roads
Good Morning @BHRUT_NHS I did some more research at stopthetescotoxictowers.blog… perhaps this can be discussed at next meeting
At @BHRUT_NHS board great to have a paper copy of the 456 page agenda. 3 hours & 5 minutes before public questions! CE report leads with brilliant news about new Queens AE. Let's hope KGH gets a new wing next to cope with our ever increasing population

stopthetescotoxictowers.blog… I delivered the letter at the link to @tesco yesterday asking them to act to promote child health by mitigating against some the most damaging aspects of the Tesco Toxic Towers. The requests are below: donate to the legal challenge gofund.me/6bb8207de
gofund.me/9028272af The news that a London Council has changed the rules so that buyers spending more than 40% can be seen as still being affordable is another reason for why the @Tesco toxic towers campaign must succeed. Domate at the link
nextdoor.co.uk/p/QtKSC-NRnCc… An analysis of public health data shows cause for concern about health between the High Road and the Elizabeth Line. More work needs to be done and @BHRUT_NHS and @RedbridgeLive have been asked to act upon EIR/freedom of information requests.

This November, 26 more Your Party branches launch for homes, jobs and Palestine, against poverty, war, racism and the far right.
We build in every town the political class wrote off.

Activists opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza broke into a factory in Tring, Hertfordshire, on Monday morning, before smashing satellites and other equipment with hammers.
Three members of the group People Against Genocide were arrested after the break-in at the facility, which is owned by military technology firm Ultra Intelligence & Communications (I&C).
The activists say Ultra I&C is a key supplier of UAV Tactical Systems, which is owned by Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems. Novara Media contacted Ultra I&C for comment but had not received a reply at the time of publication.
Monday’s break-in was timed to coincide with the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, a statement issued by the British government in 1917 that is widely seen as laying the foundation for the colonisation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
"Not only did the British government sign away a country that was not theirs to give, they have continued to assist in the Zionist occupation of Palestine, and in the murder of its native population, right up to the present day,” the group said in a statement. “Chief among the other foreign actors actively assisting the genocide is, of course, Britain's unruly offspring, the US, where Ultra I&C is headquartered.”
It added: "By shutting down the Tring death factory today, and dismantling the weapons inside, our action-takers are aiming to save lives in Palestine, and uphold international law.
“The Labour governments of both Burnham and Starmer have not only failed to do anything to stop the genocide, abandoning their commitments to international law, and to simple human decency, they have actively assisted the Israeli military with spy flights and arms shipments.”
The group has targeted Ultra I&C on several occasions. During a previous raid on the Tring facility on 9 July, its activists allegedly caused £1.3m of damage. Its members have also staged actions at sites in Cambridge, Aberdeen and Maidenhead this year.

Congratulations to President Lula on a stunning, historic re-election.
A political comeback that will be remembered for generations to come.
This is a victory for the people, for the planet and for peace.

Thank you to all who came to our first @thisisyourparty North Oxon Branch social in Chipping Norton this afternoon, with members from down the road, Bicester, Banbury and as far away as Faringdon attending.
What a lovely start to our timetable.
youtu.be/0B6Yt8T-SJM Andrea Egan, the General Secretary of Unison, speaks out for Rajiv Menon KC last night at a public meeting. I say if he is imprisoned for defending his clients at the Filton 6 trial then it is a move to an authoritarian government .

Israel has no right to exist. That’s the position in international law. It has nothing to do with hatred of Israel or antisemitism.
In fact, no state – none – has a “right” to exist, including states busy extolling their democratic credentials.
If the UK had a “right” to exist, for example, it would mean that Scotland could not be allowed to vote for independence. Why? Because such a vote would break up the UK. It would be a violation of the UK’s supposed “right” to exist as the UK.
Which is precisely why the UK has no “right” to exist.
Peoples have a right to exist. When that right is abused, it invariably involves very serious violations of international law – often through crimes such as apartheid, ethnic cleansing or genocide.
States, by contrast, don’t have a “right” to exist. They simply do exist as a matter of fact – until they suddenly don’t. Like apartheid South Africa. Like Rhodesia. Like Czechoslovakia. Like Yugoslavia. Like Nazi Germany.
This is so obvious it should not even need stating.
Were states to have a “right” to exist, completely arbitrary factors such as their borders, demographic make-up and political institutions would be sacrosanct. Inviolable. It would be impossible for minorities to secede, for territories to be transferred, for apartheid structures to be overturned . Any such change would be a transgression of the state’s “right to exist” as it is.
And yet every single journalist employed by an establishment media outlet is suddenly playing dumb on this most elementary of issues. They’ve all suddenly had a collective lobotomy. They insist Israel must be the exception to the rule that no state has a “right” to exist.
Watch, for example, the BBC’s Nick Robinson berating Green party leader Zack Polanski for refusing to affirm Israel’s “right to exist”. Polanksi correctly argues instead that Israelis and Palestinians have a right to live in equality.
Why all this incendiary stupidity from our supposedly brightest and best journalists?
Find the answer in my latest article No state has a ‘right’ to exist – least of all an apartheid, genocidal state like Israel. A link to the full article is in the reply post ⬇️
stopthetescotoxictowers.blog… The 3rd @Tesco Toxic Towers plan is out, I argue for a full consultation at link. @RedbridgeLive won't say how many extra flats are planned, whether there will be a bigger or smaller store, or whether a GP surgery is planned in letter to residents!
