How do we challenge this movement towards Fascism? The only platform allowed is Social Media, as worse is yet to come. Be prepared.

As a party to the ICC, leaders in the UK should be more worried than Biden, Blinken and Trump about complicity in Israel's live-streamed genocide.

It's one thing to state what is happening but another entirely to tell it with such bleak overtones - who's beat, not us. Stand up to the dictators. We're not backing down when people are being maimed, tortured and slaughtered!

Keir Starmer is married to a Jew and accompanies both his children to their Saturday School - he is hardly dispassionate. Not a good person to opine on Israeli genocide - far better the marvellous Jews For Justice For Palestinians who also marched for Ceasefire on Saturday.

Starmer is a disgraceful person. He played a big part in Julian Assange's persecution and now we see he is behind the harassment and arrest of people who are protesting a genocide (yes, protesting a GENOCIDE). Equally, he behind the arrests of independent journalists such Richard Medhurst, Asa Winstanley and Sarah Wilkinson for their reporting truthfully on the Israeli genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. I am ashamed of my country. Take care Jonathan. You are doing good work.

Disgraceful. There is so much mobile phone film showing the lies on BBC. How can this be allowed? Democracy has been long questionable in UK but this kills all UK rights. Now the public should surely be able to understand why UK wants to unattach itself from ECHR!

That bill the Tories pushed through giving police extraordinary powers to deem a protest illegal was another nail in the coffin if not the final one.

Saw that some kids were arrested for sitting outside BBC HQ with blank placards, last week as a criticism of the totally impartial establishment's complicity concerning Palestine.

Then there is the massive problem of lobbyists and oligarchs buying off politicians.

But hey, look the disabled and unemployed are getting too many benefits

They always go for the soft targets. Denigrate. Deny. Distract.

And to think they used to point the finger at Russia.

Nice to read your thoughts. They remind me of Chris Hedges feelings that we must build the unions. If they become strong again we can take back control.
