Rayner states: “ “high levels of immigration over the last 10 years, including illegal immigration” . . “have had an impact on our social fabric and social cohesion”. This is pandering to scapegoating and racism, pure and simple. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

"How can the world’s universities, and those in the ‘democratic West’ remain silent?" Because the 'democratic West' is a showroom of mannequins draped in liberty, but hollow inside. Democracy died the day conscience was put up for auction and sold to the highest bidder wearing a…

The forced starvation of the Palestinians can be solved in 24 hours. OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!!

The Inquiry shouldn’t be confined to Orgreave. The policing was politicised throughout the strike and throughout the country. I suspect though that many relevant documents have been disposed of. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Please, please, if you do nothing else today, I urge you to watch and listen intently to the measured words of British historian @DalrympleWill. His words and passion are compelling. We must understand the history behind the tragedy in Palestine today. Britain was complicit.

Bob Vylan issued another statement. "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. "
