Israel and many Israelis are increasingly weaponizing the term "antisemitism." What once denoted terrifying hatred has become a shield for deflecting legitimate criticism of government policy | Opinion | @adizes haaretz.com/opinion/2025-0…
“Israel has killed a classroom full of children every single day.” UNRWA Sam Rose tells BBC Radio 4. Children in #Gaza have been killed while sleeping, sheltering in schools, or queuing for water. Graphic by @TRTWorld
She also lifted all tariffs on textile imports from places like India destroying the huge textile industry in North West , West Midlands, Yorkshire overnight so places like Manchester,Burnley,Blackburn, Oldham,Rochdale, and many of so called 'red wall' areas have never…
Thatcher came to power in 1979 and sold off steel, railways, airways, airports and aerospace; Plus utilities, gas, electricity, telecoms and water. The process has continued to the present day, with the 2013 privatisation of the Royal Mail. Sold for a peppercorn, gone forever!
It is beyond all imaginings that Israel could do this, after all that the Jewish people have been through. Just utterly beyond belief. CNN even has to black out the images...

Air drops provide a fraction of the amount trucks do. If Israel allowed the UN to do its job, there would be no starvation. Trucks of food are there waiting to be delivered if Israel permitted.

📣 We are seeking volunteers to conduct visitor surveys as part of the Reconnecting Bernwood, Otmoor and the Ray (RBOR) project, to help understand the pressures facing greenspaces and public rights of way and inform access improvement works.
The UK’s diplomatic language ladder: “concerned”; “gravely concerned”; “deplore”; “strongly deplore”; “condemn”; “condemn in the strongest terms”. None of these words translate into action. We never use the word “genocide” because that would impose a legal duty on us to act.
In 2026, as the world's press step carefully over the blood-stained rubble of Gaza's killing grounds we, the British govt, will remind the world how we issued strongly worded statements very strongly. On one occasion we deplored.
This would be terrific. He should be accompanied by leaders of all other faiths, journalists, Parliamentarians, medics, and child welfare experts. ,

I can quite understand that Farage has no idea on man’s contribution to climate change Why should he. He’s a grifter and pretend politician But I know who does know. Thousands of climate scientists who’ve devoted the lives to understanding it Why doesn’t he just listen to them
"This is not my religion" Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says it's "impossible to think we haven't got some influence " on climate change but "as to what proportion it is I've no idea" #BBCLauraK bbc.in/44WXpgI
A woman is arrested for a placard at the national march which says "I support Palestine. Action is needed now." In Leeds, the police said any message including the words "Palestine" and "Action", is illegal. Pretty hard to protest for Palestine without calling for action?
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Water companies say they're putting billions in" Feargal Sharkey, "They took £84 billion in dividends and created £74 billion of debt.. We've been cheated" "There is no pollution control in this country anyone, the companies are out of control" "These…

In Bath, UK, people read the names of 15,500 Palestinian children killed in Gaza — nonstop for 17 hours. Artists, teachers, parents, even an MP stood in tears, name after name. Different tongues. One conscience. Not just a vigil — a stand for humanity. Their names filled the…
A sheep killed at our Pegsdon reserve is one of a string of dog attacks on livestock, people & wildlife on our sites this year. Dogs must be on leads on nature reserves all year round. Warning this article contains an image some people may find upsetting. wildlifebcn.org/news/warning-a…
I have no words left, and I fear that even words can wound. I implore the EU and others who are 'preserving dialogue' with Israel: use it to end all unlawful detentions under int'l law. All hostages - Palestinians and Israelis - must be allowed to safely return home.
Gheed Kassem, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s lawyer, posted seven hours ago a horrific update on her Facebook accounts regarding the abducted doctor. Here is a translation: Dr. Hussam Abu Safia is not well. I visited him last on July 9, 2025. What I saw was heartbreaking. Since his…
Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies. Pass it on. #ActOnClimate
The Met Office has warned that extreme weather is the new normal in the UK. Meanwhile, newly elected Reform politicians are busy denying the science. Climate science denial is dangerous, irresponsible and a betrayal of the very communities they claim to represent.
This is amazing! Researchers marked ants with blue dots on their heads, and 23 out of 24 attempted to remove the marks after seeing their reflection.
In a stunning breakthrough, scientists discovered ants may have self-awareness. Researchers placed blue dots on their heads, and 23 out of 24 ants tried removing them after seeing their reflection, proving they recognized themselves. This rare behavior, seen in only a few large…
