Thanks for the clarity Laura, I was confused as I thought Genocide was wrong 🇵🇸

Now the people who masquerade as government , the army and air force are not complicit they are on the moral high ground of the bones and blood of the dead. It’s so easy to spot them now…

Yep, not sure if the MSM reported on those disgraceful scenes in Bristol, it certainly seems the cops were Ok with the hate on display. Those idiots really are so thick as to believe the immigrants are to be feared and viciously opposed, when it's those in positions of power who are removing peoples' rights for opposing genocide, that they should fear. Crazy.

Okay, I’m setting aside my usual pithy comment to share my one interface a couple of years ago with Yaxley-Lennon’s EDL lads. It was on an early Saturday morning tube train, there was only me and a young woman on the other end of the carriage when a bunch of about 30 of them, already tanked up, poured on. The young white woman was immediately sexually abused by the leader who stood thrusting his groin at her face while sniffing her hair and all the while being encouraged by his laughing comrades. This was going on for several minutes and

I was contemplating at what point I was to intervene and get a good old defence league hiding myself when the train pulled into Waterloo and the young lady made her escape.

Okay, cue pithy remark:

“Defend England by sexually abusing its women.”

Fartrage himself would have been so proud if he'd been there to witness his lads in action. Hitler had his brownshirts, Mussolini had his blackshirts, but Yaxley/Fartrage's kickyball thugs often have no shirts. 🤮

Love the “no shirts”Dezza.

I found out from the British Transport Police later that they were on their way to Manchester to disrupt a Hindu festival in Bury, they obviously had an early train to catch.

Not sure if you are male or female Baz, but witnessing abuse is also traumatic. I feel for the young woman but also for you. You have my sympathy as the story you told is frightening, sickening, and soul wounding. If one event of humiliation and injustice lessens us all, imagine what the people of GAZA are going through.

Thanks for your comment, Susan I’m a guy and yes, I guess I was affected by witnessing what I saw. Retrospectively I regret not thinking on my feet, what I should’ve done was jump straight off the train with the young woman and first make sure she was okay and then offer to go with her immediately to report the incident. (maybe the police could have apprehended the gang that very morning) I was overly concerned about getting to my work and not focusing on the young victim.

I went to report incident to the Transport Police but they had had no complaint from anyone that morning. We can only guess how badly affected the young woman was.

I’d originally supposed they were just common or garden drunk football hooligans but because of my description of the perpetrators (many wore a small pin badge) the police told me it was the EDL and they were aware of their travel to Manchester.

Makes you wonder what exactly they are ‘defending England’ from.

What I would dearly love to know, is this: just how utterly stupid, brainless and manipulated do Cooper and Stammer now feel about what they have done to this - now unrecognisable - nation.

Hmm, maybe... But I don't think they had mass public demos against all the British genocides in those centuries...

Thankyou for putting the dreadful so well.😢

So much of what I read this year makes my blood run cold, so often that I should have blood so cold it's turned to ice, but that's my problem it hasn't.

I guess I can only have incandescent anger occasionally?🤨

Again thanks for all your writing, take care of yourself, please.🙏

Well, after all, the "kill 'em all" side are also firmly on the side of the "free" market. And that's what counts! ...................................................

When Illegal ZioNazi settler mobs murder unarmed Palestinians, burn their Olive Trees and poison their wells, they are backed up and protected by IDF Terrorists. I'm seeing a similarity here when MPs pass laws that attack peaceful protesters and protect genuinely dangerous nutters.

It's really simple - "Kill Them All" - GOOD! "Stop Starving and Murdering Children" - BAD!

I don’t know, Avigail. The US hasn’t formally rebranded as a dictatorship, but it’s happening anyway. It’s all illegal by our own laws, and yet it’s happening. We’re puzzled and we’re frantic, but they’re showing every other government in the world that it can be done. Look out.

Insanity prevails!

I would not dismiss the possibility that the CoVID19 virus, which was very likely developed as a US bio-weapon to spread through the air, has made very many people irrational!

We all know that even the MURDER of ONE child in society has the most severe punishment, including the death sentence!!!

Just when we didn't need more crazy - a COVID fantasist. And you're so close to the truth - Covid infection does cause cognitive deficits for a period of time we don't want to investigate because we're assuming it will only affect the weak and poors. Definitely no connection with increased numbers of people with disabilities. We can cull them by torching their benefits. Yaaaay! It's going so well.

Can have two meanings:

People have always been irrational. Having modern technology has not advanced us psychologically or spiritually, perhaps even contributed to the opposite…

Most Israelis, almost 90% of them support everything their military is doing and would like to see all Palestinians removed from all of historic Palestine. Given no significant international intervention, Israeli is en-route to complete its settler-colonial project. It means millions dead or forcefully displaced.

They’ve tried. But Israel is crushing them just like the Nazis crushed the Warsaw Ghetto resistance, killed everyone and flattened the ghetto.

It seems that way, but remember: Hiroshima, Nagasaki, India, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, so many more. It was never any secret that entire civilian families and villages were being bombed, burned and ravaged. “Patriots” in the U.K. as well as the US cheered it on. Prince Harry says he killed 25 “Taliban” in his two celebrated tours in Afghanistan; we all know they were underarmed, underfed, and many probably underage. And all for the sole benefit of US/multinational oil corporations, although many of the “patriots” allowed themselves to be convinced otherwise.

Western nation citizens are all so brainwashed into thinking that this is all "normal." This quote from someone on substack in the US:

"I don't like the far right OR the far left. I like things to stay in the moderate center, where genocide is fine and people's healthcare money is given to cruise missile manufacturers."
