“Palestine Action is not an armed group. It has never been responsible for any fatalities and does not pose any risk to the public. Its methods do involve property sabotage, which is, obviously, illegal. But if killing 23 civilians at an aid distribution site is not terrorism, how can we possibly be expected to accept that spray-painting a plane is? Law-abiding protest has so far failed to stop the genocide. More than 50,000 innocent children have been killed or injured. In what circumstances could civil disobedience ever be justified if not now?
I can only say that I admire and support Palestine Action wholeheartedly – and I will continue to, whether that becomes a terrorist offence or not.”
- Sally Rooney

@Wen The most ridiculous thing in this ‘advisor’ gate is that Starmer watched, in real time what the odious little shit did to the Mendacious Johnson! If it were me, I’d get an ‘advisor’ then do the exact opposite of what they ‘advise’.

Keir Starmer says he ‘deeply regrets’ island of strangers speech

Reading your speech in advance is always a good thing. But start by not getting McSweeney to write it in the first place would be better

Fuck me! Lewis Capaldi is AWESOME! 👏👏👏👏✊

@AnarchoNinaWrites I’ve been fighting the ‘believers’ since I was about 9 when my late father removed us from the Roman Catholic Church and took us to the Methodist church. I was told by a child of my own age that the priest had told the faithful that I was a sinner and I’d go to hell. Not too much time passed when the fucking Methodist minister pissed on his chips. At least he had the courage to tell me to me face! Fuck the Abrahamic faiths.

Again, I am saying to you - perhaps we should STOP putting people who believe a man in the sky who always agrees with them is speaking to them personally about how all of our lives must change in terrible ways, into significant positions of power.

The war on Christianity does not exist - but also? It'd probably be a good fucking idea.

If you're wondering why you are separating the lids from yoghurt cups to recycle them properly, while in a parallel universe nearly 100 private jets arrive for the Bezos wedding, here's why:

Because you are better person than each and every one of these massive cunts.

Just a reminder to everyone that #Nestle wants to own the rain, and have taken it as far as when once getting approval by a township to collect rain/groundwater to resell, they threatened to SUE residents of that township if they collected their own rainwater, because Nestle said it belonged to them.

THE RAIN. THEY THINK THEY OWN THE RAIN.

@w7voa Will they be held to account on the old ‘I was only obeying orders’ schtick?

In small towns, Medicaid isn’t just help—it’s the only help. When clinics close, lives don’t “adjust.” They end. #MedicaidSavesOurLives

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social good point well made!

I felt it was essential to make this comment on Youtube, below the line on my Palestine Action video, in view of some of the truly disgusting things being said.

If all the rich people are really going to leave if we raise taxes then let's raise taxes nationally and maybe they'll leave the country.

Yesterday, 26/06/25, 65 starving people were killed by the IDF whist they were waiting for food in #Gaza

This is the highest death toll from the queues so far

It wasn't widely reported

@georgetakei He shouts in hyperbole constantly! He’s truly evil and crazy in equal measure!

The 'culture war' didn't start recently. It didn't even start in the 1960s - as the far-right likes to claim. The tension is MUCH older.

Have a read and tell me what you think!

Share it with some incels and MAGA folk - I'd LOVE to see their response.

@linuxgnome no, the government did an impact assessment. They concluded 250,000 would be thrown into poverty!!

A link to that assessment is on this page https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjxygjrk9ro

Rachael Maskell, the Labour MP for York Central, said: “I and many more cannot accept this backroom deal"

The Labour backbencher Alex Sobel told BBC Two’s Newsnight programme last night “Whether you acquire disability at birth, five years ago or tomorrow, it should be the same for everyone.”

He may still be in trouble

@johncomic It’s been my experience over 7 decades that the vast majority of people are amazing and good people. Often the quietest ones hide their light under a mask of ‘ordinariness’ The old saying ‘it’s an empty vessel that makes the most noise’ can also be applied to some who don’t possess such human qualities.
