What does it say about the new PM that climate barely merited a mention in an hour-long speech on the UK's future? And what does it say about the ‘mainstream’ media that he was not lambasted for ignoring the severity of the threat hanging over all of us? medialens.substack.com/p/has-andy-b...

Excellent film. Please watch and share: 'When the UK government ignores mounting evidence for climate breakdown, a group of scientists turn to civil disobedience to warn the public themselves, risking arrest, a criminal record and their professional reputations.' plan-z-film.co.uk

Last year, a team of experts published a report, ‘Planetary Solvency’. One of the scenarios considered was 3C of global heating by 2050 leading to ***4 billion deaths***. It was largely ignored by the UK media. A stunning example of propaganda by omission. medialens.substack.com/p/4-billion-...

On 6 August 1945, the US dropped the first of two atomic bombs on Japan: crimes against humanity. It is a myth that these bombs ended WW2. Racing Towards The Abyss: The U.S. Atomic Bombing of Japan www.medialens.org/2008/racing-...

Trump talks of Iran becoming a 'normal country'. But will the press allow it? Apart from North Korea, no country is so consistently depicted as a brainwashed death cult. Below, the Guardian (left) and BBC yesterday.

'We are calling for a full inquiry into Labour Together. We also call on Sir Keir Starmer to clarify his role in this scandal.' If only political reporting wasn't suffocated by a tight circle of client journalists confined to the Westminster bubble. See full statement: x.com/StarmertheFr...

The Guardian asks: 'What would potential Labour leadership candidates do differently to Starmer?' and manages to make no mention of Gaza, Israel, Palestine; and almost nothing on foreign policy. Says it all. archive.ph/ADPg9

Look at this propaganda headline. 👇 It’s important for BBC News to emphasise the ‘total repression’ of Iranians even as the US and Israel are relentlessly bombing their country. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The White House sent this out a few hours ago with the heading: 'JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY' Dear Keir Starmer, Is this a country you really want to have a 'special relationship' with? Nod if you're being held hostage.

BBC Weekend News last night. BBC correspondent Joe Pike outside 10 Downing Street: ‘In the last hour, the Prime Minister has accepted a request from the US to use British military bases to launch defensive strikes’. ‘Defensive strikes’: behold a new propaganda phrase.

The case for striking Serbia... Afghanistan... Iraq... Libya... Syria... Venezuela... on and on. As the list grows, 'mainstream' media never respond with outrage and disgust, even when the oil motive is completely out in the open. On the contrary, if it keeps happening, it must be 'normal'.

Jeremy Bowen: ‘...Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank who are fed up with war.’ ‘Fed up with war’? What a crass choice of words from Bowen. The surviving Palestinians are deeply traumatised by the *genocide* that Israel has been inflicting on them.

The BBC continues to describe the genocide in Gaza as a 'war': even after a UN commission of inquiry described it as genocide, along with numerous human rights organisations and genocide scholars, including Israeli experts. BBC News 'impartiality' = genuflecting to Israel

So, Keir_Starmer thinks that welcoming an Israeli war criminal is 'diplomacy'. Anyone who objects is engaging in 'the politics of students'. Sums up the moral abyss of this Prime Minister. x.com/ScotNational...
