    Who can't make up his mind whether to bomb Iran or add fries to his McDonalds?

    Reasonable to suggest a significant number of them are J6ers

    Palestine Action are to be proscribed as a terrorist group:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn81g4e0nlyo

    I can see both sides of this one. They didn't really do a lot, but the timing is awful.
    I also can't help but feel that they've done our armed forces a favour, somewhat bizarrely.
    If they noticed the lax security here, then our enemies definitely will have.
    I doubt it's an isolated, solitary weakness, so they get a chance to fix it before it matters.

    Somehow it's easier to proscribe Palestine Action as a terror group than admit that having G4S provide security for an airbase is ****ing embarrassing

    They’re not a terrorist group. They just target companies and places which help Israel commit a genocide.

    Very worrying if this goes through as expected.

    Trump "coincidentally" posted this on Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery in the US.
    Leaving aside the obvious racism and Americans getting very few days off, this is obvious bullshit.
    The workers don't want national holidays? What? **** off, you endlessly golfing tramp.

    The US is remarkably mean when it comes to days off as is

    The fact they used to have both Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays as days off, but now it's just Washington's renamed to President's Day says it all

    I don’t agree with a lot of his policies (he’s too wishy washy imo) but he’s bang on here IMG_1815.jpeg

    I don't particularly disagree with him on what he's said here, but I think it's a coincidence.
    He's just opposed to anything that he counts as a Western government using their military.
    This applies to his mates in Stop The War, too.

    Fair comment. I've been to Brize (not in the last couple of days ;-) ) and (being and airbase with long runways etc) it has an absolutely mammoth perimeter. But it's not indefensible with the application of enough guards/dogs and technology. I suspect that had been skimped on.

    That is completely true. My first wife was American and I was astonished how many days she got off. Mind you the first sentence also works "The US is remarkably mean" in so many ways.

    Israel commits genocide and destroys Palestine: Starmer 'OK'
    US illegally drops bombs on Iran sparking regional conflict and global financial meltdown: Starmer 'OK'
    Non-violent protesters spray paint on planes assisting Israel's genocide: Starmer 'Proscribe them as a Terrorist Organisation
    An Irish rap band make off the cuff remarks defending Palestine: Starmer 'Ban them from Glastonbury'




    Yeah...that's seems like the reasoned actions of a former Human Rights Lawyer! <doh>:emoticon-0183-swear
