We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Those complicit in Israel's genocide will go to jail. Stop being defeatist. Stop making the lack of justice a self-fulfilling prophecy. This crime is too extreme, too depraved, too confessed to, too documented. It may take years. But they will go to jail.

Israel needs to be stopped....
Israel needs to be stopped.

They have squeezed the remaining population into 12% of Gaza.

They are murdering starving people queuing for food with white flags. 

They are sending in armoured demolition companies to destroy every single building in Gaza. 

They have murdered every highly qualified doctor/surgeon to prevent them treating victims - mostly kids. 

This is the most clearly planned GENOCIDE imaginable. 

And the Zionists will say "prove it" - and the whole world can see it even though they've murdered every journalist in Gaza and banned any more from entering.

BBC News sum up gains for the UK £2 billion - CPTPP £5 billion - India £9 billion - EU However, keeping the UK outside an UK-EU Customs Union, and access to the EU Single Market costs us £140 billion a year So yes, £9 billion is great, but nowhere near the £140 billion we have lost due to Brexit
