Nothing describes the state of the UK better than the privatised national telecoms company making a cool £2 billion out of literally stripping the copper wiring out of the wall, in the same year that it laid off over 11,000 people.
Not only that. The privatised telecoms companies are making money from selling off all the copper that was originally paid for by the state when the grid was constructed. Outrageous legalised plunder

You know how long ago this was invented? A while ago. You know why we still don't have access to it? Fossil fuel companies.

EXCL: The UK is lagging behind other European countries in public understanding of the threat posed by Russia, the head of the British military has warned in an interview with @FT. Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, chief of the defence staff, said that Britain needed to “catch up with our European allies”, including those geographically closer to Russia who felt the proximity of its aggression and the war in Ukraine more acutely. He promised further action to counter Moscow’s submarines in the North Atlantic, ahead of a new ‘northern navies’ maritime pact between the UK and nine Northern European allies (Netherlands, Nordics, Baltics and Iceland), expected to be signed on Tuesday. ft.com/content/9d49deb8-33f6…

Did you know the Israelis concentrated the Palestinians in Gaza in the low lying areas, that always flood? Did you know the IDF will kill any Palestinian who leaves the flooded concentration camp? Did you know Israel bombed every single water desalination plant in Gaza?
Contrary to popular belief, Israel does not control the weather.

We want the UK Government to launch an inquiry into any British involvement in Israeli operations in Gaza. This petition is so close to the 100,000 needed to be considered for a debate in Parliament. Please sign & share - let's get it over the line! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

This is like pushing someone off a cliff and saying: “I don’t control gravity”
Contrary to popular belief, Israel does not control the weather.

Can't even get my head around how crass it is for Remembrance Sunday to be used by the mainstream media to do nothing but talk about their favourite subject: cutting billions in support from the most vulnerable people, to pay for American bombs, for use in illegal wars.
"We are at a moment when the enormous price of rebuilding our defences is causing politicians to hesitate." Sunday Morning presenter @MarkUrban01 reflects on the state of defence spending ahead of Remembrance Sunday commemorations. trib.al/IgPz70m 📺 Sky 501

My interview in today's Observer explaining why we will never back down. Direct action against Elbit is about saving lives, and the 4,000 people arrested for holding signs are not just showing their support for Palestine but are also defying the complete erosion of free speech.

Mussolini as muse. Terragni gave form to Mussolini’s quote for his casa del fascio design. “Il fascismo è una casa di vetro, nella quale tutti possono guardare.” Translation: “Fascism is a glass house, into which everyone can look.”
Game. Name the architect and the famous building.

Why is there simply no pressure on the Israelis to facilitate humanitarian relief in Gaza?
Heavy rain causes flooding in many parts of Gaza with nearly 70,000 tents damaged.
