How did we get into this dystopia? The roots go back centuries. Colonialism, racism, the othering of nature, to name but a few. If you want to know why we are where we are, read:

I'm nether Jewish or Muslim, but I don't feel safe in the UK any more. I'm not safe from poverty, illness, homelessness. I'm not safe from authoritarianism. I'm not safe from Sunak and Starmer, and I'm not safe from Zionists.

When I was growing up we had something called social security. You paid national insurance and you got support if you became unemployed.
It’s not HANDOUTS you are ENTITLED to support because you PAY FOR IT!!!

Simple really. If you criticise the actions of the Israeli govt and show sympathy for the plight of Palestinians you’re labelled and ant-Semite. That’s how it works.
Now we learn that the British army is broken along with the NHS, Royal Mail, Police, railways, social care, water, etc, etc. The

I was lucky enough to go to university at a time when there were no fees. I can’t imagine the horror of this. Education is a public good NOT a commodity.

The ICC has issued arrest applications for Netanyahu and Gallant for the use of "starvation as a method of war" including "cutting off cross-border water pipelines from Israel to Gaza".

Israel's ambassador to the UN is currently giving a speech condemning Palestine's bid to join. And he's shredding the UN charter, which is what he says the general assembly is doing.
Why the attack by

The EU didn’t bailout Greece. They bailed out French and German banks. The Greeks got shafted in the process. The real problem was the Euro.

The police in the USA are out of control, arresting journalists, shooting people in the face with rubber bullets, tear gas and pepper spray, pushing an old man with a stick to the ground. Is this serving and protecting? Every one of these bastards needs to be sacked and jailed.

Tory Nick Robinson says Corbyn was Labour’s least successful leader and Blair the most. This is rubbish. Corbyn was easily better than Kinnock and Brown and Wilson and Atlee were better than Blair. This blatant neoliberal propaganda needs to be taken off our airwaves.

works. If you can't labour because of illness or disability, you are a burden. Not someone to be helped and cared for, but someone to be labelled and punished. The Nazis thought these people were worthless. This is where we are now.

Can we stop talking about free school meals and just talk about meals for children? Children need to be fed. It's our duty as adults to do that. It's an obligation, not a handout. If parents are struggling we MUST help.
