Some ideas for the next government

He has had an emergency decompressive hemicraniectomy, left-sided, where the likely dominant brain side is damaged forever. He will probably never be able to speak again, and never be able to feel and move the right side of his body. At his age, the reason for that is most likely a mass intracranial hemorrhage and swelling due to severe head trauma. He must have also spent a long time in a coma, hence the tracheostomy. This is, without much room for doubt, the face of a tortured man who has barely survived an emergency procedure, which in normal circumstances would be extremely uncommon for someone his age - and whose quality of life has been reduced to almost zero forever.

In the early 2000, this clip was shown on Palestine TV. A few weeks later, Israel completely destroyed the Palestine TV building in the West Bank, but not before I obtained the footage from them. I'm posting it to show you a glimpse of how these jewish supremacist parasites have been targeting and terrorizing our children for decades.

The first government in British history to pay NHS trusts to remove patients from waiting lists was Labour under Starmer and Streeting. They offered a £33 bounty per extra patient. That's an estimated £32.5 million for almost 986,000 extra patients removed in a single year. Patients were removed if they did not respond to texts or letters— even if they never received them. Deadlines as short as 72 hours. Some were removed for being pregnant, after 'clock resets' of lists, or after 'not attending' appointments that were never sent. This is the 'fastest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years' Starmer is boasting about.

Ash Sarkar on #PoliticsLive "The role of private equity in our social care system" @AyoCaesar 👏 "We've got a hugely expensive social care system. Adult and children social care is a massive part of local authority budget" "It's part of the reason why so many local councils are in debt" "And private equity is just siphoning money out of the system" "In just three years, in three regions of England, private equity sucked out £250 million in profit" "Something that Andy Burnham and whoever his pick of chancellor might be, is to say, we're not going to have such a huge role for private equity in the social care system" "We're going to have strong limits on how much profit can be extracted" "We're not going to have leveraged buyouts where private equity uses a tiny bit of their own money and then loads the company with debt"

The UN inquiry’s findings that genocide is being carried out by Israeli authorities and security forces in Gaza - as well as crimes against humanity and war crimes - and additionally war crimes in the occupied West Bank - is due to what the inquiry found was the deliberate targeting of children - and it is horrifying reading. The details of the targeting are chilling. Children. Killed. Wounded. Tortured. Starved. Raped. On a mass scale

One of the killings involved a ten day old baby being shot by an Israeli sniper in broad daylight whilst the baby was being breastfed : an independent UN Commission says Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank

"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families" He means Israel would go after them too.

A highly respected barrister who worked on the era-defining Stephen Lawrence, Hillsborough and Grenfell cases is now being hounded by a judge for mounting a legal defence of four activists who targeted an Israeli drone factory. More here: declassifieduk.org/palestine-acti…

Hosepipe ban by South East Water, demand surges in heatwave. SEW loses 100m litres of water a day to leaks. No new reservoir since 1989. Water evaporates from shallow reservoirs Paid dividends, fleeced customers. Had 37 yrs to address infrastructure woes theguardian.com/environment/20…

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024" Chris Sidoti last year

Over 70% of England's water infrastructure is owned by foreign governments, overseas pension funds and international investors. Your water comes from the ground beneath England. The profits leave the country. Northumbrian Water: owned by Hong Kong and a New York investment firm. Yorkshire Water: owned by Hong Kong and the Singapore government. Wessex Water: owned by a Malaysian billionaire's family. Southern Water: owned by Australian asset managers and US investors. Thames Water: owned by Canada, Abu Dhabi, China and Australia. £20 billion in debt. Sewage in your rivers. Only Severn Trent, United Utilities and South West Water are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Nobody voted for this.

Pope Leo XIV is being attacked for wanting everyone to have access to food and healthcare. He is being called a Radical, an Extremist and even a Communist. That sums up this stage of Capitalism, whereby you are labelled a radical if you think people deserve food & healthcare.

IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.” It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.

Yes. They also destroyed all the records of interactions with Sweden in the Assange case. We had to get from Sweden the evidence that Sweden wished to drop the sexual assault charges as unfounded, but the CPS under Starmer insisted they did not. All internal CPS records destroyed.

This scene in "Kind Hearts and Coronets" (1949) where 6 members of the D'Ascoyne's family, all played by Sir Alec Guinness, are seen together, took 2 days to film. The camera was set on a specially built platform to minimize movement. In addition, the camera operator spent the night with the camera to ensure that nothing moved it by accident. A frame with six black matte painted optical flat glass windows was set in front of the camera, and the windows opened one at a time so each of the characters could be filmed in turn. The film was then wound back for the next character. Most of the time was spent waiting for Guinness to be made up as the next character. (Source: IMDb) P.S: 1) On this day, 77 years ago, Robert Hamer's "Kind Hearts and Coronets" (1949) premiered in London, U.K. 2) Remembering the great British actor, Dennis Price, on his 111th birthday!

Ask yourself why the world’s richest man is amplifying an anti-Muslim thug and convicted criminal in the UK just days after an alleged anti-Muslim terror attack in the UK (which Musk hasn’t mentioned, let alone condemned).

Utterly devastating. How we have come to have governments willing to facilitate & defend this evil is unfathomable. A horrendous crime against humanity that is shared across so many sick souls.
