The Kafkaesque UK laws adopted under the Starmer gov to appease Israel are such that you'll get arrested for terrorism if you hold a sign saying I support Palestine Action. But if you hold a sign saying "I suppport Genocide. I oppose Palestine Action," then you'll be fine...

BREAKING: Apple has decided that the Gaza genocide has been reversed 👀
I assumed it was made up. It's not. Apple Maps has reinstated old imagery of Gaza. So all the buildings still exist. The left is Apple and the right is Google of Rafah, a city that is entirely "erased" by the IOF. What stage of propaganda for Israel is this?

'...nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine...' How did that go?
On this day 109 years ago today British foreign secretary Arthur Balfour sent a letter to Lord Rothschild, a leading member of the UK's Jewish community, expressing the British government's support for the establishment of a Jewish national homeland in Israel. It laid the foundation for the eventual end of the British Mandate of Palestine and the establishment of the State of Israel.

“Against the stands that act as guards for the right-wing government! Curva Nord stands with the people and takes to the streets!” Livorno ultras displayed banners criticising other ultras groups that took to the streets under the pretext of “preventing looting” during anti-government protests, siding with the government.

too damn right, my wife is a care worker, works her butt off, yet couldn't ever afford to repair her car she was forced to use between clients- then I found out she was getting less than 50p mile I got her to quit and now does same job in one home without all that driving, still paid peanuts but at least we're not subsidising those creeps (bosses not clients) and she gets NO benefits
It's shocking to see 'low-wage care workers' portrayed as a drain on the welfare state. They're doing essential jobs and the only reason they claim benefits is that the fat cat private equity bosses that own care homes don't pay them enough to live on.

Well done Everton. Much better than Newcastle. Nothing at all from the Toon. Very very poor. 🤬
