Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

The UK, now under the power of the Labour Party, has become a place an entire demographic feel the need to flee due to systematic legal discrimination enforced by the state.

The number of times Nigel Farage has fallen over himself to get a racist xenophobic slant on some breaking news SHOULD be a wake up call to anyone who thinks he isn’t just a hate monger, trying to distract from his crypto millions with some new scapegoat

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

Scotland is an energy powerhouse – rich in oil, gas, wind, and tidal generation – yet our communities are left suffering from fuel poverty.

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

While rightwing media nods approvingly at the prejudiced outcry in Piddington, a RNLI station has to close because of white British thuggery and threats. This is where the constantly toxic obsession with immigration leads. To racist, flag-wielding vigilantism that ruins this country for everyone.
