You Know When?

You know when a biker travels past and the travesty he's riding upon- in reality this is a double travesty- sounds as though it's dragging a sizeable item of furniture along the road behind? You know, also, that almost everyone within earshot is reacting with a variation upon the same anti-biker thought? You know, also, that the local police really don't care and won't act, or even seem to notice, right?

You know when you and others have just watched a chap, in perhaps a raincoat, load the prepared lining of his coat with the alcoholic spirit of choice? You know, also, that there's a fair to reasonable chance that none of the observers is going to do anything that might aid with his apprehension? You know, also, that certain members of the constabulary have said that, if you stand and do nothing then you're complicit in the crime, right?

You know when you're voicing objections at the voting intentions of your local councillors who, at the behest of israeli lobbyists, are continuing to support and arm a Genocide? You know, also, that a contingent of police officers, along with several off-duty nightclub bouncers, are likely to arrive within twenty minutes? You know, also, that these same officers might just deign to issue a crime number- insurance purposes only- if your home was, overnight, stripped of all your earthly possessions, because they claim to be snowed under, right?

You know when you press the 'crossing button' at a pedestrian crossing and cars from a distance of (a measured) mile away are able to pass before the lights turn red? You know also that there's a more than fair chance that at least one more vehicle is going to jump the red light, slicing into your begrudged five seconds in which to cross? You know, also, that, should you not have cleared the road within your allotted five seconds, there's a chance you'll draw the ire of one of the 'inconvenienced' motorists, right?

You know how the European Union continues to ban dangerous chemical (13 more in the last 12 months), formerly deployed by farmers, whereas the UK (0) does not, at the behest of farming lobbyists? You know, also, how it's now possible to stroll past Buddleia after fully-bloomed Buddleia with barely a white butterfly between them, right?

You know how so many of those sports that were once viewable free-to-air have since been squirreled away behind the Sky-et-al pay-wall, at the behest of sports company and sports channel lobbyists? You know, also, that more and more of these 'missing' sports comprise UK teams representing UK nations, at home in the UK, right?

You know how two generations of working adults, and counting, have been unable to afford to a mortgage, increasingly, also, afford the monthly rent upon the place where they currently reside (live, if they're more fortunate)? You know this state of affairs is at the behest of landlord lobbyists and those with significant 'investment' property portfolios? You know, also, that many of the older generation of home-owners are still driven to blame the struggling younger adults for not saving sensibly, as they once did, at the behest of the CEOs of the MSM outlets where they access their highly selective news, right?

You know how the CEO of your local water company gets another £million annual bonus, even though your rivers and coastlines are swimming under water company released raw sewage? You know, also, how the share-holders always get a meaty dividend, even though the responsible water company is pleading poverty and is going to hike your bill accordingly, at the behest of water company lobbyists, right?

You know how the greatest volume of measured pollution in your rivers is the product of farming 'run-off,' and that still 'your' government drags its heels, at the behest of the farming lobbyists? You know, also, how the BBC (Farming Today) paints this same farming community as if it behaves as an honourable 'Guardian to the Countryside,' even though this cohort continues to spread this run-off thus, also, seriously depleting your insect populations, right? And that this, what has been described by environmentalists as an, 'Insect Apocalypse' continues to decimate bird and other creature populations, right?

You know how the rogue state of israel has murdered more journalists than were killed during the U.S. Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the u.s.’s assaults on Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav Wars, the War in Afghanistan, and the ongoing Ukraine War combined, lied about and covered-up for by israeli lobbyists? You know also that a recent 'error' resulted in omitting to turn off the transponder on an RAF flight circling for hours over Gaza, from Akrotiri in Cyprus, and that during this time another five journalists were murdered by the iOF? You know also that RAF gathered information is handed over to israel and that the Foreign Secretary david lammy either does not know or will not say what the data is being used for, right?

You know that an international best selling author (Sally Rooney), who has expressed a wish to donate funds from her work with the BBC (Normal People), towards helping to stop the ongoing Genocide, conducted by israel? You know, also, that if you hold up a sign expressing opposition to the Genocide, with the words, 'Palestine' and 'Action,' that the British state will attempt to arrest you, at the behest of the state of israel, as it is attempting to do with Sally Rooney, right? You know, also, that the UK Foreign Office consults with the israeli embassy, over who to target during another spate of 'arrests,' right?

You know how you may be desperate to remove a UK PM who has a protected right to utter more proven lies to the nation than truths? You know, also, that fellow MPs do not have a right to call out those lies, even though the nation and its MPs have repeatedly witnessed the distracted PM uttering these same lies? You know, also, that when the General Election arrives and the proven liar and his cohort are voted out, how the replacement cohort, in double-quick time, proves to be no better and often worse, right?

You know when someone, or someones, dangles food as bait, then uses starving children as target practice when they beg for the meagre sustenance being dangled, right? You know, also, when hospitals, doctors and journalists are deliberately targeted party to further and ever greater killing sprees? You know, also, when someone contemplates then states that this armed-to-the-teeth military nation (israel) “has the right,” to cut off food, water, electricity to the whole population of another region (Gaza), right? You know, also, that when the resulting crisis develops into a famine and that the majority of the world regards this situation as a live-streamed Genocide, right? You know when ‘your’ Government and ‘your’ Prime Minister continues to funnel military arms to the nation committing these War Crimes upon another- the nation it has been illegally occupying for decades- and then classifies anyone who opposes the Genocide, as terrorists, right?

You know when journalists work to expose this Genocide, only to discover that a national broadcaster (BBC) refuses to broadcast the unearthed facts, right? And, you know when this national broadcaster verbally attacks journalists, doctors, aid-workers and international experts on conflict, undermining the facts of a burgeoning Genocide, at the behest of disingenuous actors, before any of these witnesses are allowed to speak about multiple War Crimes, right?

You know how Foreign Secretary david lammy's second 'tut' ('tut-tut'), after israel is filmed conducting a 'two tap' (war crime) military operation, resulted in him having to apologise to tzipi hotovely (israeli ambassador), because the sound, allegedly, caused her to smudge the ink on her 'congratulations to israel' card, right, that lammy's meekly worded letter, enquiring whether more arms are going to be required to continue the Genocide, was deemed anti-semitic, lest it should paper-cut her bloodied fingertips, right? You know, also, that hotovely's pet name for lammy is 'lappy,' (lapdog) right? You know, also, that there's one heck of a lot of israeli lobbyists, threaded through UK society, preventing society from more openly discussing israel's Genocide upon Palestinians and israel's pariah statehood, right?

Well, that's your democracy, that is, disappearing down the toilet at the behest of multiple lobbyists, threaded throughout society, industry and government, many of whom are working, front, foremost and in turn, at the behest of overseas companies and other foreign interests, one of whom (israel) is conducting a Genocide! You know israel is the worst of these, right?

That's your 'democracy,' that is! And there's a word this type of unaccountable behaviour, and we all know what that is, don't we? F!

To Hate or not to Hate a Nation?

What about if that nation should, with gifted impunity, rain down upon humanity the most horrendous crimes known to the human race? What about then? Or else, what?

In George Orwell's pioneering novel, 1984 (published 1949), the term 'Doublethink' was introduced to the world- 'the ability to, at the same time, hold two contradictory beliefs.' The word was Orwell's but the concept- that ability to openly and blatantly lie, specifically 'for political purposes,' to compliant others, a compliant cohort, an entire nation, even though that other, cohort or entire nation may have witnessed otherwise with its own eyes- had, likely, already been in operation for millennia. To tweak many definitions of the term, I think that I would highlight the 'holding of, specifically, two beliefs, perhaps going so far as to be able to differentiate, afforded the space in which to do so, emphasise also that the holding of the untruth requires an act of well-practiced self-deception. Read 1984 and it soon becomes evident to what purpose this act of self-deception is all the while undertaken.

Thirty years ago, whilst touring through the spectacular nation of Chile, I met in the coastal town of Arica, and briefly spent time with a couple of, also touring, israelis. For some reason or other they were drawn to something or other about my being. I think it may have been the fact that I was the only other known-to-be-fluent English speaking soul in the hostel. They- two young men- also spoke Spanish, fluently enough to my unpracticed ears, but 'preferred' to converse in English. These are my thoughts, several decades later, the israeli travellers' perceptions may be otherwise. We may have shared a meal, a coffee, I no longer recall, but we did spend some time in conversation. Maybe, this was mostly about the nation through which we were travelling?

A couple of days after our initial meeting, we chanced to find ourselves upon the same minibus, travelling up into the Andes. The bus owner/company was undertaking a daytrip for, ostensibly, Spanish-speaking tourists; I was set on being dropped off at a junction a couple of miles from the hamlet of Parinacota, 4,400m above sea-level, population about 30, spending a few days there. My mind was set!

My travelling 'companions' translated some of the tour info for me, although the guide also did his best for the sole non-Spanish-speaking traveller. My travelling 'companions' tried to persuade me not to disembark at such an altitude, at the end of one lonely twisty track heading out toward the twin peaks of Volcan Parinacota and Volcan Pomerape, hopefully somewhere on the plateau also the aforementioned hamlet. They were concerned for my wellbeing- altitude sickness and stuff.

To me they were a friendly duo, helpful to my orientation and progress. I left, as planned, breast pocket bulging with coca leaves, headache in tow. In my defence, I'd exploited the situation, conveniently 'forgotten' much of my student politics. We did not talk about the Occupation. I mention this event because, to my mind, these people were okay, to me they were friendly. If I met them today much would be different. Immensely so!

Back to 'Doublethink,' cousin to 'Doublespeak'- no further definition required. To contextualise this permit me to elaborate. The world, some of it, those with access to the internet, may/could, over the past two years, have observed israel undertaking a Genocide upon the Palestinian people. Definitely, within that internet-available cohort that did not feel compelled to look away, individuals could have observed images of starving and dead Palestinian infants, shortly after to be told that what they had just seen was staged or otherwise not real, that there is no starvation in Gaza. Two years into the israeli atrocities this serves as an example of overuse of Doublespeak and Doublethink. I know, I know, Israel is a non-European nation significantly founded upon blatant lies, violence, terrorism and Doublespeak. Which is why I have found myself revisiting my brief encounter with those two israeli citizens. Thirty years on I find myself feeling ashamed that I was not more attuned to the Balfour Curse! Israel may have upped its rouge status in recent years but it is only by means of certain Doublespeak-and-think that it has not always been widely regarded and treated as a rogue state, and done so by many more nations. Doublespeak and Doublethink, by other specifically Western nations, has, effectively, ushered it to its present state of 'global threat to Middle-Eastern and wider global stability.' Like a pet (former 'kitten') tiger that some idiot millionaire has just witnessed eating the rest of the man's family. Except, of course, tigers, in their element, are things of beauty and wonder... so nothing at all like israel. Nothing at all. Poor analogy! Sorry.

But, here's the thing! In order for the rogue state of israel to have gotten this far, for it to have become the only nuclear-weapon-holding state in the Middle East, armed to its filed teeth, for that Apartheid state to have 'regressed' far, far, far 'beyond' the worst of Apartheid South African brutality and outrage, for it to have effectively isolated itself from even those nations (perhaps excepting the US) that still 'officially' insist upon naming it an ally, the degree to which Doublespeak-think has crept into and subverted various additional nation's languages must have been immense beyond reason! Happily, South Africa has since disowned and distanced itself from its own shameful past. Risen to shame other Western nations, South African is currently in the process of prosecuting israel for crimes against Palestine that would have been unimagineable in (formerly) Apatheid South Africa. The World should be grateful for South Africa's convictions and should back it to the hilt!

'A land without people for a people without land,' such a romantic concept is itself Doublespeak, negating the fact that the land never was empty, negating the widespread horrors that the rogue state perpetrated at its outset. If you wished to stay in israel- WHY? for the love of god!- you could book into the King David Hotel, advertised as one of the 'leading hotels in the world.' You could stay, in comfort, at the site of the israeli bombing of the same hotel (1946), by the israeli terrorist cell, Irgun, in which 91 people perished and 45 were injured. David Ben-Gurion, israel's founder and first Prime Minister was a member of the Irgun cell, thus a terrorist! Blair, Thatcher, Obama, Clinton, Trump, Charles III have all been wined and pampered and stayed at the site. There is a plaque, at the hotel, to the incident, which, I believe Netanyahu visits annually. Several members of the israeli cabinet are more demonstrative in their celebration of the event. Israel, proud ally to the United Kingdom! Whereas israel does not 'function' as if it has any allies; israel instead has 'interests,' the UK being but one. Pick through the Doublespeak required in order to have reinvented that rogue state, currently undertaking a Genocide with US-provided, German and UK arms.

Israel! frequent participant at the Eurovision Song Contest?
Israel! participant at any and all European sporting events?
Israel! the displaced non-European state?
Israel, spaketh to the world in English, spaketh differently to the chosen people in Hebrew? Different messages for different cohorts!
What, in the name of humanity, is going on? It has required buckets of slight of hand with the language, in order to have covered more arses than we could possibly have imagined! Arses, from Balfour's right up to those of the present day- Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper's, Foreign Secretary, David Lammy's, Prime Minister, Keir Starmer's and so, so many more- autobiographies pending, red ink only, please!

One could never justify the horrors but, given that there 'is' a rogue state, labelled israel, one might expect (never tolerate) such language (Doublespeak-think) to emanate from within the rogue state. But, even this is not enough for the state of israel. Israel requires, also, that other states operate this Doublespeak-think, on their behalf. Far better than I, without reference to Doublespeak-think, at all, Denzel Washington unpacks how this language- he calls it propaganda- has shaped US politics for far too long. He cites, in particular, AIPAC (the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee). The UK's MSM routinely does not permit open debate upon the stranglehold that israel exerts via AIPAC- labelling it as an anti-Semitic trope- turns out even MSM has succumbed. We can only hope that Biden has seen Denzel's speech, understands at least the general thrust of the thing, that it has perhaps induced certain guilty pains within that hollow chest cavity- only 'pains,' we don't want you getting off that easily, we want you to recognise just how many global citizens regard you as an abhorrent War Criminal, first, Joe.

I have discovered that an even greater volume of funding, thus weaponry, than AIPAC, passes through the bloodied fists of Christians United for Israel (CUFI). If one follows this unit's 'reasoning' to it's theological conclusion it'll blow one's mind! Either they, or the God they evoke, has some serious issues with ethics!

It's been said, although never forcefully enough and not by enough people, that where the US goes the UK is sure to follow. Imagine, 'if' such stuff as Denzel has cited happened over here, why the BBC may find itself 'unable' to broadcast openly upon an ICJ identified genocide, it might not be able to broadcast documentaries that give insight into the atrocities daily being conducted by israel inside Gaza and the West Bank. It might no longer find itself having to interrupt anyone having the balls to speak out on the subject, with, "israel/the IOF refutes blah, blah, blah..." Such like. Imagine!

Had Orwell had a slightly larger window into the state of the future UK, slightly further on and into the next (21st) century, had he envisioned the empty doll that is Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, son of a toolmaker (no kidding), as PM, then it might well have ballsed-up the entire idea for his novel, brought about a complete rewrite, or he might have elected to write in Starmer as some sort of empty vessel or complete buffoon. Doublespeak may have had to become Triplespeak or Multispeak or Deadspeak, or... Somehow just plain, 'lying,' doesn't seem anywhere near adequate, does it?

With hindsight, it seems unlikely that such a character as Starmer may ever have gotten anywhere near to the leadership of the Labour Party, become the Alt-Labour Party, ultimately risen to the UK's PM, had israel not already been making a push for expansion in the Middle East (Asia, not Europe!). The use of Doublespeak burst wide-open at the election of Corbyn! Think of all those names that kept the ball in the air, the comedians, the celebrities, the lobby-journos, the politicians, BOD, all those 'bodies' of pre-appointed individuals that have steered the UK's politics, those such as the CAA (Campaign Against Antisemitism), that have dictated that which can and that which cannot, must not, be broadcast. Much like all of that Baroness Mone et al produced PPE, there must be towers of boxes of 'anti-Semitic trope' stickers, ready at the fingertips- the product equally invalid, the damage far more widespread, with unuttered claim to having been far more deadly!

Ask yourself, could any genuinely impartial Broadcasting Corporation have scheduled the broadcasting of such a 'programme' as 'Is Labour Anti-Semitic' on the virtual eve of the General Election? Much like the widely discredited '40 beheaded babies,' it matters little if the script falls apart months or years after the event. Too late! If only there were journalists in our midst who might unearth these things before the damage has been done. Better still, to have insisted that the programme be taken down on 'impartiality grounds.' Those two 'cases' (beheadings and antisemitism) were clearly deemed so urgent as to have had to sidestep the established Doublespeak methodology, instead bumped to outright lie. Can't have too many souls merely being hindered through words and statements of Doublespeak. Both barrels for these lies! 'God's Speed! Let those fabrications wing half way round the globe before the truth has gotten its socks on!' we might imagine the protagonists proclaiming.

Many of those who were formerly silent, many of those who outright lied, then hoped nobody would remember, are now manoeuvring to pretend that they were against what israel is doing all along, that they were always on the right side of history. Perhaps, in many cases, it will be easier just to skip the israeli genocide 'inconvenience' in any upcoming autobiography? Dredge up some Oscar-nomination-styled tears, should the grandkids ask too many awkward questions. Alex Davies-Jones MP managed to humiliate herself, her constituency and her nation, all in one ugly lump, demonstrating that she has likely never before had to deploy the dark art of Doublespeak, that the mask does not yet fit comfortably upon her lying nose. Alex did not Doublespeak, she outright lied, and lied to herself and, in consequence, looked af if she thoroughly disbelieved herself, as did many of the viewers. We can only guess at her state in the green room after such a debacle. 'Grandma, what did you do during the genocide?'

"There are no journalists in Gaza!" David Lammy once said, over 200 journalist deaths ago- not so long in modern day Genocide terms. Well there almost aren't, not anymore, Dave. Another quote to shun in any upcoming autobiography, I would politely like to suggest. Maybe, don't bother with the tome, at all- a 'criminal' misuse of honest ink.
Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, Mohammed Al-Khaidi: the Civilized World honours your work and mourns your passing. May you rest in peace.

As a former member of the Labour Party, someone who has been more peripheral to the Party-as-such, finding myself aligning more often with figures such as Dennis Skinner, Tony Benn, Michael Foot (if you can remember), I believe that Alt-Labour has become what it is through way too much Doublespeak-and-think. Blair undoubtedly lied to the nation regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, one million souls sacrificed in consequence. He and Straw (extraordinary rendition) should stand trial in the Hague- neither will, instead they marked and caused another significant tear in the fabric of international law and justice. They weren't the first, Kissinger was awarded the International Peace Prize way back in 1973- might just as well give it to Trump-via-Netanyahu-nomination, it's already far beyond possible means to repair; or, maybe, melt it down for another warhead. I'm rambling a bit here, back to the gist: I believe that it is the pseudo-leadership of Starmer and his over-deployment of Doublespeak and Doublethink that has finally stomped out the last dying ember of Labour as a Party of worth. Perhaps he already has a place on the board of the Tony Blair Institute, the vessel currently in 'his charge' on fire and dropping fast... eject, Sir Keir! Watch the flaming wreck spiral down from the safety of your chute.

And, much as Israel has trashed international law- which nation now could do worse to another?- through being afforded constant exemption and the open bullying of its designs upon others, Starmer, or rather those who have steered Starmer, have managed to trash far, far beyond merely the Party. Johnson may have established copyright on overreach of lying in parliament- wasn't the first to lie but the first to lie so much more than speaking the truth. So Starmer, in one sense, owes much to Johnson, the man he pretended to oppose. Turns out he's more of the same, perhaps worse, more arms for the US to deploy, more nations to threaten, more austerity for the home nation, more cuts, more lobbyists driving the ship, paying and gifting ministers, more subservience of MSM! The shift requiring deathly volumes of Doublespeak-and-think. When Home Secretary Yvette Cooper proscribed as terrorists, Palestine Action, few believed the group to be terrorists, even less so a threat to citizens. When she responded to questioning about the arrests of 500 citizens, including an elderly blind man in a wheelchair, with knowing wink-winks about secrets her government couldn't divulge, few can have believed her. 'Official Secrets' don'tcha know! 'Aunty Yvette, what did you do during the genocide?'' 'Tell us, which side were you on?' 'Did you ever kill anyone, aunty?' Not directly, rather depends how you spin it.

EDL (English Defence League), now there's a group who are prepared to deploy violence upon others. Violence and, more, threat thereof, yet still falling some way short of actual 'terrorist.' Just as well for Yvette, EDL are not proscribed, police cells are already too full of blind, wheelchair-bound pensioners. There's a thought that requires more than a modicum of Doublethink. Co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, has accused the UK government of defamation, I think now, also, sued the government, with cited evidence from the ongoing legal challenge against the group's proscription. Huda speaks with greater conviction than does Cooper, perhaps because she's on the right side of history, against the genocide. Huda's words resound as more focused than, necessarily, do the Doublespoken words of Cooper, whose autobiography genocide chapter is going to require a mega-heavy edit before it's able to be committed to the printed page. Take some heart from Liz Truss's efforts, Yvette. And, for Heaven's sake don't use that photograph of you and israeli ambassador, Tzipi Genocide Hotovely, inside the dust jacket, makes you look mighty pasty. Just saying.

And, finally, circulating back to the heading, 'To Hate or not to Hate a Nation?' I've already made up my mind.

To the Tempo of Marching Feet!

The tighter the sound the less there is room to question. Or to slide in that wafer-thin element of doubt.

Highly pertinent to this, in whose cause do we 'march?' At whose decree? The term 'march' here being used figuratively. I write as more of a limper, myself.

Where we currently find ourselves, are we to respect or to fear those ranks of uniform? Those lines upon someone else's drawn-up map, do they shield upon our behalf, or against, at the behest of another? Are those rules delivered at an increasingly unaccountable State's bequest or that of 'our still' democratic system?

I believe that lobbyists far outnumbered members at the last Labour Party Conference. Splashing cash aplenty amongst the ranks of the annointed. Increasingly, membership is easily outnumbered, as members either flee or are hunted down by former Israeli spy, Assaf Kaplan, now operating within Starmer's cabal, trawling social media, Lord alone knows where else his talons may reach.

"What, nothing? Nothing by way of return from all those lobbyists?" we think. It has often been pointed out that Alt-Labour has no policies, or almost none, that leader Starmer spins like a cockerel in the breeze. Instead, follow the money and the direction is clear as day. Government in full sail, racing away from its citizens. To the Promised-but-never-delivered-Land!

Let us hope and pray that Your Party is soonest able to start repairing the damage, halting, for ever, the UK's ugliest chapter, 'our' nation has now sunk to culpable in an ongoing genocide! A situation unlikely to have ever been the democratic wish of its electorate. Not mine, for sure.

George Monbiot speaks far more eloquently than can I, upon the worries of governments determining who is to play the role of terrorist whilst shifting awkwardly and culpably behind the resultant and bloody shadows. Careful where you step, minister. Do not slip in all that infant blood, risk staining that gifted suit. Can the citizen, then, not any longer ask 'precisely what part is its government playing in support of the real terrorists...' whether they (culpable ministers) choose to label them (the actual terrorists) 'allies' or, worse, as 'friends.' "No friends of mine!" comes the rallying call. But, dare we any longer wave the 'wrong' flag whilst denouncing the Home-Foreign-Secretary-come-Prime-Minister? Any combination therein.

We learn now that YouTube has overtaken ITV in viewing figures amongst the young. We learn also that the BBC, a corporation many of us might have once taken to the streets to defend (Centre for Media Monitoring), has, in very short time, elected to shed that following... "In reverence to what?" we may well ask. Are we, any longer, even permitted to ask that question? 'Anti-Semitism!' the finger might point. 'Blood Libel!' those with a proven soft spot for actual genocide might shout. 'We have to point out that blah, blah, blah... the Corporation we wish we hadn't ever considered getting out of bed to protest for will bluster. No conversation may progress without a tip of the hat to 7th October 2023. Do not dare to reference the days, weeks, months, years, decades prior to this, lest you dip and tuck and nod and 'misstep' to the wrong beat! "How many infants snipered and blown apart today, in the defence of the only democracy in the Middle East?"- seriously? 'Democracy's' somebody else's label, not mine! One cannot be both an apartheid state and a democracy, doesn't work that way. "How many murdered at the hands of the most moral army in the world?" Again.

So, it's no longer really that, is it, no longer a just beat? Instead it has become a more angry tempo, the marching of another's jackboots. If Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, son of a simple toolmaker (almost Christ-like figure, really), UK Prime Miniter, wishes to wave 'recognition of statehood, something the rest of the globe takes for granted,' exploit it as the worst kind of ugly threat, then so be it- British Exceptionalism, Trump-styled.

There go your police forces, there go your ministers, there go the upper echelons of the BBC, there go the editors of the MSM, heads of the mightier corporations, CEOs of the utilities. Don't they look so smart in their garb?

Don't you dare to say that thought! Keep it locked tight in your skull, lest you too morph to terrorist. Young (including children) and/or old snatched from the street, international rights, in tatters where they so recently stood. That's how it 'works, ' Control the narrative, decide the boots. And, that, my friends, is using terrorism in order to suppress a nation. Welcome.

‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack.’

In light of the BBC's cowardly subservience I felt obligated to write to complain about the decision not to air ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack.’ In all likelihood the decision was not made by the BBC, and that lies at the root of the issue. UK audiences, in significant part, have come to expect such cowardice on the part of the Corporation. The unfolding Genocide must, at some point, come to fuller light and when it does the BBC will find itself very much on the wrong side of history. Let us hope that the BBC and Starmer's Government are not permitted to tarnish the entire nation alongside!

Dear BBC

I have a complaint and, pertinent to that complaint, it is one that I know, almost for certain, will be ignored, likely, along with thousands of other complaints on the same subject.

It saddens me for multiple reasons, not least being that I feel I am watching a BBC in front of and beside which I grew up, being seriously denuded to the point where I now feel compelled to answer my granddaughter’s (12 years old) increasingly probing questions along lines, that I believe the Corporation to be no longer worthy of the descriptor, ‘reliable news outlet.’ I must be honest here and point out that this belief is hardly one that has recently been formed. I will not waste your time with the history of my reasoning.

My complaint concerns the recent decision of the BBC not to broadcast the documentary ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack.’ Admittedly, I have not yet viewed the footage myself, although I know that when I do, which I will, there will be nothing to suggest that the program is in breach of any (so called) impartiality code, unless historical fact must now itself be considered impartial. Further, precisely as did the featured doctors, I felt I already knew that the program would be pulled.

I had hoped for a better outcome with the earlier pulled documentary, ‘How to Survive a Warzone,’ which I have watched, twice. I would imagine that there is every chance that some, if not all, of the featured children are no longer alive, perhaps snipered by a UK supplied bullet, blown apart with UK enabled munitions, or else having since starved to death! Of note, the family connection of the opening narrator to a Hamas administrative officer in no way diminishes either the footage or the mounting evidence that Israel is pushing to Ethnically Cleans the Gaza Strip. Was any of the footage seen as questionable, or was it just the children? Has it not occurred to any of those BBC client journalists that a ‘Hamas run Health Service,’ as the BBC insists upon prefixing any mention, might be the necessary consequence of a land under oppressive occupation? The latter part (under occupation), by comparison, being a fact that the BBC seldom if ever sees fit to remind its viewers.

I was more suspicious that the program would not be aired when I chanced upon Dead Ringers, Friday 13th July. I recognise that the BBC will likely claim that Dead Ringers is a satirical show but still it was shocking to hear quite how easily the efforts of the Freedom Flotilla, and especially Greta Thunberg, could be reduced to sniggering from the sidelines by those ‘brave’ script writers. A 22 year old prepared to risk belligerent interception, possible missile attack, possible death, in international waters by a rogue state! Did the brave script writers, peeping from behind their desks, thousands of miles distant, not want to acknowledge the point that Israel, was almost certainly behind the earlier missile attack in Maltese waters (International airspace)? A 22 year old who, in one act, did more to highlight what is increasingly likely to be determined a Genocide, than that whole ‘landlocked’ raft of scriptwriters at ‘Dead Ringers.’ History will at least record Greta Thunberg as having been on the right side of history, scant consolation.

That the BBC is unreliable as a news outlet is increasingly there for those who choose to see and to hear. But it is worse than that, the Corporation is now fallen to ‘reliably unreliable!’ Gary Lineker, since dismissed for what, honesty? Mr Clive Myrie may boast about ‘honest journalism’ being his reason for getting out of bed in the morning but that ship has long since sailed. Am I not correct in pointing out that Gary Lineker- the same Gary Lineker- interviewed Ukrainian footballer, Oleksandr Zichenko, some time back in 2022, to great acclaim and absolutely no calls for his dismissal? Interview is linked for your reference, still up on the BBC website I believe. So what could possibly be the difference? It cannot be about the invasion of a foreign soil, nor about an occupation, certainly not about the ICJ and the ICC being prepared to use terms such as ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ and ‘plausible Genocide,’ nor can it be about the numbers of medical staff murdered, nor teachers, nor children, nor the number of hospitals targeted, nor the vast number of perpetrators of ‘War Crimes’ posing for the camera as they commit their acts! So, what plausible difference can there be? Could it be one of racial priority? If not, please do illuminate!

The Centre for Media Monitoring has recently undertaken a very thorough forensic investigation into BBC coverage of the Israeli slaughter of Gazans- it would be naïve in the extreme for me to refer to events inside the Strip as a ‘conflict,’ one wonders why the BBC so often does so. For reference I have included a link to the report.

The Lancet has also undertaken a thorough investigation, this one into the actual numbers of Gazans murdered by Israel. At its release the number executed or otherwise murdered stood at 186,000. When we consider that over two million people recently lived in this tiny space, and we then make the effort to view even a fraction of the available footage of the killing, 186,000 seems a very conservative number! Incidentally, half of that number is likely to have been children! Were the authors of this investigation in any way consulted before ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’ was dropped? Again I have provided the link to the report.

The BBC (I would have to write) pretends to care about things such as ‘impartiality,’ ‘verification,’ ‘integrity’ and ‘journalistic standards’ but reporting upon a plausible Genocide (as found by the ICJ) is not an event that necessarily requires a deal of impartiality. I have no doubt that the ‘other side’ to this Genocide could be unearthed, no matter how deranged, otherwise there would be no plausible Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing being conducted. But, please for context, and by comparison, consider a) how does the BBC choose to cover Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? or b) China’s treatment of the Uyghur population?

Israel’s murder of tens of thousands of children seems likely to rise to hundreds of thousands now that the nation undertaking the Genocide (Israel) and the nation providing the greatest number of munitions (USA) have teamed up in order to practice their weapons upon starving Gazans. Surely, it must be one of the worst of War Crimes, to murder, sniper and obliterate innocent children! So, on which side of history does the BBC wish to find itself? How will it wish to cover the clean up? Or the rebuilding of whatever substitutes for what was a whole Gazan population?

Because the BBC elects to make complaints difficult- undoubtedly, it must receive a fair few!- I did not add the links, which was an oversight on my part, brought about through a fair bit of hoop jumping. I have corrected that omission here:

Additionally, I have here ventured some suggestions regarding omissions on the part of the mighty Corporation, listed below:
• What actually happened on the 7th October 2023, when numbers of Hamas fighters attacked Israelis in Southern Israel? How many Israelis are thought to have been killed by Israel and the IDF, under the Hannibal Directive? Were any Israeli babies found to have been beheaded or put into ovens, as reported by the BBC amongst many others? What evidence of rape has been unearthed?
• How do the messages to the Israeli population (in Hebrew) differ from those delivered to the outside world (in English)? Incidences of Genocidal rhetoric and intent for example, which ministers may have urged further/greater War Crimes?
• In light of concerns about Iran working towards nuclear capabilities, at what stage is Israel’s nuclear program? Does Israel have nuclear weapons?
• In light of the frequent use of terms such as anti-Semitism, various tropes and blood libel, which would necessarily encompass this suggestion, what is the power of the Israeli lobby in the UK? In Parliament there may be counted Labour Friends of Israel, Conservative Friends of Israel and Liberal Friends of Israel (Commons and Lords). What overlap is there between the Board of Governors of the BBC and the Jewish Chronicle? Investigate the immense sway of numerous NGOs and other hidden funding organisations. Who are and who appointed members of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism. This is our democracy we are forever being told!
• It is often said that the housing system is broken and has been for years, so who is lobbying to keep it so? Who funds the lobbyists? Which Lords and MPs are being lobbied? Which MPs are significant property holding landlords? Who is forever delaying justice for the survivors of Grenfell?
• Teresa May quashed it but why no Orgreave enquiry? Is it true that the BBC reversed footage of the significant police-miners clash, in order to wrongly present the event as if the miners charged the police rather than the other way around?


We are not supposed to suggest as much, lest we get accused of peddling an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory but it is difficult to believe that something far bigger is not driving this.

Manufacturing in the UK!

Headline news! UK economy grows by 0.7%!

As much as that? So, I guess we're beginning to reap the benefits of all those closed libraries, all those cuts to social services, schools, closure of all those accessible sporting facilities, cuts for disabled people, cuts to benefits and food more generally for children, military-styled deportations of British citizens to wholly unfamiliar locations, full on austerity- >300,000 excess deaths attributable to Ed Ball's mate George Osborne- as imposed by both Tory and current Alt-Labour Governments alike! A vote for change! How to celebrate? Do we gather pots and pans and spend five minutes making a noise, 19:00 every Wednesday? Maybe we should chant our eternal thanks to former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, Sir Keir Rodney Starmer and his current cabal? Although, really, it's far more like a scene from 'The Wicker Man! (1973)' after Edward Woodwood realises, too late, that he's fatally misjudged these people.

Whatever! It's most unlikely that the vast majority of citizens will notice, nor will they already have registered any significant boost to life in the UK. But, manufacturing is definitely up! The nation voted for change; this is what we got!

Early morning on the 2nd May a Freedom Flotilla vessel, the 'Conscience,' carrying vital-and-months-overdue-aid to the Gaza Strip, was drone attacked whilst sailing upon Maltese waters and under Maltese air space. The ship was holed below the water line, halting the aid delivery in its tracks. There were 16 people on board with 40 further humanitarians planning to board from Malta. A heroic move of epic proportions! Sailing into waters being heavily terrorised by the trigger-happy Israeli Offence Force. Tragically, the 'Conscience' never got that far!

Maltese air space! Being used by a third party, to attack a humanitarian vessel planning to deliver aid to starving children and to protest against Israel's ongoing Genocide upon the Palestinian population in the Strip. Horror upon horror! Imagine the outrage that such an attack would have provoked had the attack upon the vessel been proven to be of Russian provenance! Or Iranian? Or Chinese? Upon a vessel bound for somewhere other than Gaza?

This was serious, what would the West's response be? Well, acting in advance of the missile strike, Palau had already revoked its national flag from the vessel, then Malta (closest to hand!), Greece and Turkey threatened to confiscate the ship should it struggle to port in either country! Lammy and Starmer sat compliently upon their bloodied mits!

Solidarity! Or, rather, not! Shame, writ large, more like. Begs the question, 'quite what did these countries already know about this drone attack, an incident that, still, 2 weeks later, is being described as 'via an unknown actor.' Curious! Through omission alone, it tells us a great deal more than that; we know, for example, that the attack was definitely not undertaken by a Russian, Iranian or Chinese drone. The West wasn't interested in unearthing the culprit, although everybody already knew, far better to shut down the story and deflect. Last thing the majority of the UK's MSM wanted was for the actual culprit to be unearthed. UK's MSM into overdrive, ensuring the (not)journalism in which it is so well-practiced!

The Nord Stream II Pipeline, that was almost certainly severed via a US or US ally, was (pointedly) named as a Russian operation by a great many UK media outlets, almost whilst the attack was still being undertaken, to be followed up swiftly by the vast majority of the remainder of UK MSM falling neatly into line. There is significant satellite imagery of supporting evidence, giving weight to the contention that it was a US operation- at least two Scandinavian driven investigations into the 'attack' have been prematurely curtailed. Why? At whose behest? Why not more questions from the BBC?

Likely, getting too close to unveiling the perpetrator. Anyone who has followed the incident, beyond its cursory headline-only coverage, will have drawn the most obvious conclusion- including several pseudo-journalists who have ashamedly elected to remain silent about the whole sordid affair, as so often befits the invertebrate lobby journalists.

As with the 'Nord Stream II' attack, most who have given the 'Maltese-air-space' drone attack (an Act of War) much thought know, with 99% certainty' who was responsible. Wikipedia, better that most, cites the cause as 'some sources suggest Israeli involvement; not officially confirmed.' Of course, 'other actors' would still have us believe that Israel is not starving children inside Gaza as part of its ongoing Genocide. Through the Looking Glass- too much of the Western World now finds itself with its citizens knowing full well that Israel is a dangerous, Genocidal, Rogue Nation, whilst routinely being fed the line that Israel 'just might' be defending itself, which very few in possession of fully-functional minds can possibly believe. Only to be expected, given the licence that the West has given the Rogue State, that Israel would feel itself at liberty to invade international air space in order to attack any third party. Over many decades, they have the form! Cloaked in the cape of 'anti-Semitism-blood-libel-numerous-tropes-the-wrong-sort-of-imoji' Israel acts like a Genocidal Emperor in new clothes, whilst the West pretends not to see the body parts! Which nation, hand on heart, can say with conviction that its citizens are completely safe from Israeli missile strike?

Think Israel isn't founded upon terrorism, as and when, spend some time reading up upon its founding. Start with the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946; investigate quite how peacefully Israel set about putting up those first flags. Not so good for many of the British soldiers killed around that time, some of whose bodies were then used as booby traps. Worked a treat for Menachem Begin, Israel's first PM, though. That would be Menachem Begin, head of the militant Irgun Zionists. Have a bit of a read on the subject...

Manufacturing inside the UK's MSM is up considerably, more so than is the UK economy.

The mighty BBC is currently in the process of asking "audiences to have their say about the future of the organisation, by launching the biggest public engagement exercise the Corporation has ever undertaken." Bit late, maybe! For those who have followed its political slant on 'the anti-Semitism in the Labour Party smear,' 'the European refugee and asylum-seeker crisis'- no they are not 'illegal' asylum-seekers!- or, more recently 'the ongoing Genocide inside the Occupied Palestinian Territories,' the current lack of accountability may well have seriously undermined the public's will to bother. As more and more higher profile individuals, very much too late, have been 'saying,' or implying, why not, Mr or Ms BBC, merely, a 'far greater honesty from its political journalism?' Gary Lineker makes the point very well in his recent discussion with Amol Rajan. And, off he is cast! Coffin duly provide via the BBC's stitch-up, 'When it Hits the Fan' (Wednesday 23rd) Anyone noticing what's really been happening? Or shall we just carry on pretending the UK's not funding Ethnic Cleansing? Doctor Who may be travelling throughout the Universe, saving races that the Earth has yet to encounter- not going to be helping Palestine any time in the near future, is 'he'? Maybe 'he's' afraid of announcing 'his' intent via the wrong sort of imoji?

It was in 1948 that the State of Israel was 'created,' when one Occupying Force (United Kingdom) handed over the already fully inhabited State of Palestine to the next Occupying Force. 'A Land without People for a People without Land!' So the utilitarian lie would have us believe, and, shamefully, for many that lie perpetuated. Still those such as UK PM Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, would have this lie substitute for the shameful truth! Not so for the Ethnically Cleansed Palestinians, nor their descendants, nor the Occupied Palestinians, nor, beyond the enclave, anyone remotely-adequately informed. None of those who have lived under the violent oppression of Occupying Israel, or whose ancestors were violently Ethnically Cleansed from their homelands in 1948, or have been murdered, tortured or stomped upon since and right up to the present date. Turns out Israel as some sort of democratic romantic idyll, a star above the Middle East, is anything but!

A few years after this 'handing over,' starting in the 1950s, the UK- colonial overlords looking to rewrite history to their advantage- set about Operation Legacy. Who wouldn't like the idea of leaving behind the warm glow of a fond memory for future generations? Except to note, if the Empire's past was such a rosy historical period, why the need to incinerate quite so many tens of thousands of documents with such up-to-the-minute evidence of that same regime? I have heard it claimed- more than one source- that, back in the 19th Century, slavery was an 'acceptable' practice. The sort of people, some of them family, I would fully imagine, who would very much prefer to adhere to a more rosy and romantic notion of British Empire. 'Land of Hope and Glory!' anyone? Belt it out, drown the screams!

Manufacturing was very much up then, as now.

Nor is it so curious that many of those who seem most deaf and blind to the ongoing Genocide in wider Palestine are former and current colonial powers. The US of A has conducted its Genocide upon native populations (Trail of Tears), as has Australia upon Aboriginal populations. Neither country shows much interest in paying proper reparations or even fully acknowledging the extent of those acts. Whilst Germany currently seems absolutely determined to work itself round to the wrong side of two major Genocides, both of which happened, just about, in living memory. As if turning a blind eye to the persecution and annihilation of Palestinians at the hands of Israelis somehow rectifies Germany's Genocide upon many of the ancestors of those now conducting the current Genocide. Not all, mind! Definitely not all! And, many of those 'not all' Jewish individuals now find themselves being persecuted for vociferously objecting to the current Genocide. What a tangled web we weave! When it's all written up, at some indeterminate time in the future, which side will each of us have been on? Or will everybody always have known that this is a Genocide? What thinks Sir Keir or his sidekick Lammy, as they're definitely both fully culpable?

I'm sure that there is some sort of scientific analogy to be painted here. But I am going with a 'sepsis' that urgently requires the most serious of interventions!' Because, just like that deadly infection would, Israeli violence has intensified to such a point that the 'nation, if one can park a second nation upon the one already there- surely, not with any legitimacy- has escalated its violent-infection to the point where even its historically-racist allies are becoming increasingly nervous! With undeniable good cause, although still, still, there are those who are prepared to speak as if worked or owned by the devil! Daily being platformed within the UK, presenters and the guests!

Manufacturing up significantly! More notably, in very specific quarters!

Tuesday, 13th May, the Right Honourable Angela Eagle, Minister for Border Security (no less!), future Dame Eagle (no doubt), with no apparent grasp of international events what-so-ever, hauled herself over to the British Museum in order to address 'celebrations' of Rogue Israeli State's 77th Anniversary. Most definitely Eagle did not deign to mention 77 years of violent oppression of the Palestinian people! That would be (Dame) Eagle, she of the 'Smashed Window Threat to Life!' 'fame,' that one. Jimmy Carr was there- there's footage of him scuttling off, afterwards, head down and at quite the pace- steadfastly refusing to speak to anyone with a better conscience. That would be almost everyone else in the neighbourhood. Wonder what the jokes were like? Wonder whether it'll affect the vast array of TV contracts he gets? No tropes, anti-Semitic hiccups, blood libels, nor offensive references at all! Clap now, everyone, on behalf of the Genocidal nation!

Meanwhile, Jewish protesters- some of them holocaust survivors- may be unceremonially bundled into the back of a police van, for daring to step on the wrong section of pavement, or in the wrong direction in the wrong neighbourhood, on the wrong day! Wonder if the Force required any extra muscle whilst dealing with the threat from any of these octogenarians? Police Force or Mercenaries for Hire, what thinks the concerned citizenship?

Eagle spoke passionately, tip-toeing righteously around the subject of Genocide, or Ethnic Cleansing, or starving children, vowing eternal support for Israel's right to commit whatever War Crime it wishes, without ever referencing the horrific reality, or honesty, or the Geneva Convention. Wow! Threading the needle, Angela! "Israel knows how to party," wrote journalist Jonny Gould in the caption of a photo he posted of himself at the event. I think the BBC may have unofficially saluted as and when, unofficially of course.

Manufacturing again! Seems a shame that the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, cannot milk this one! It was Rach and her Government that's been, in major part, responsible, after all! Praise where it's due, Ms Rachel.

I doubt we can fully appreciate quite the vast scale of the manufacturing involved! Imagine the dinner conversations that might be undertaken in this proud nation, where its institutions are to be heralded as example to other, less democratic and lesser nations! More so, after perhaps viewing the broadcast of BBC's Panorama, 'Special Forces: I Saw War Crimes.' One might be given to wonder where some of those very Special Forces are operating now. Will the the ICC, or the ICJ need to make notes?

Then, we can watch as the same channel shows a short recruitment clip of the jolly honourable work that the UK's Forces undertake whilst overseas- at the behest of who precisely? Not General Gwyn Jenkins, KCB, OBE, ADC, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, we can only hope! "Anyone watch 'Britain's Got Talent,' on Saturday?" And, we're there, safely through to the other side of that looking glass. Turn up the volume, drown the screams!

Not really such a huge surprise to discover that the UK's uninvited Army is currently being afforded licence to pick-and-mix through all those cumbersome international rules and obligations drawn up after WWII, in order to ensure that individuals fleeing persecution should never again be left without nations within which to plead refugee status and protection. Bold! And just! If only it were true.

One wonders whether, even at the very outset, there were nation representatives, or military upper-echelons thinking, 'but only for those with the right colour credentials, right?' 'Refugee status for our sorts, right?' On the other hand 'Jolly Strict Rules that we might administer to them?' A sort of invisible continuation of the white colonial hierarchy mentality.

When the Mighty Corporation itself dares to break the shackles (strictly selective subject matter, even so, don't you think Amol?) and demonstrate to the world what real solid journalism looks like, then reverts instantly back to type, we really must be looking to settle permanently on the wrong side of that looking glass! Seven years spent investigating Britain's Special Forces inside Iraq and Afghanistan! Bang, top quality journalism, right there! Proof, if it were needed- and it has been for some considerable time now- that the BBC is still capable. Now! Where's 'Part Two: Secret Flights over Gaza, from Akrotiri during the Genocide'?

We learn that there is yet another BBC report being suppressed, this one about Israeli treatment of medical staff inside Gaza. Wonder which trope, or anti-Semitic, or blood libel, or wrong imoji is being cited? Must be jolly serious if grounds have been found- more likely manufactured- to 'justify' suppression of this report.

Go on Rach, 'manufacturing's up! Sing out the good news!

Had we ever pondered why it was that so few Afghanistani nationals who'd worked for and with the SAS, during its time in Afghanistan, were being granted refugee status in the UK? Why so many of those people had been cut adrift to face torture and or death? Turns out General Gwyn Jenkins, KCB, OBE, ADC, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff- must be one of the good ones, right?- might be our man? He knows! Care of BBC Panorama, exposed one minute as an 'alleged War Criminal,' via seven years of investigative journalism, appointed Head of the Royal Navy the very next. Perhaps, we might go on to conclude, the exposed misconduct helped butter his route. Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, would know the answers. But then, he's so well practiced at lying, or omitting truth, to the nation, likelihood is that he's incapable anymore of uttering the truth!

The premise ('BBC Panorama, 'Special Forces: I Saw War Crimes') is an easy one, so long as the Afghanistani personnel can be left to torture and murder, outside of the UK, they cannot be compelled to give evidence when the SAS and several of its top generals are investigated via a public inquiry. "Emails and evidence from within the MoD, obtained by Panorama, suggest that Gen. Jenkins appointed a senior officer to oversee civil servants working on the Afghan resettlement scheme, giving them instructions to reject Triples applications," Stop the War Coalition informs.

Promoted one day after 'Panorama' was aired! Why, it's almost as if Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, son of a toolmaker, is demonstrating to everyone prepared to challenge, 'Think you can hold me accountable, then watch this!' Maybe a middle digit will feature! Keep that seat in the Lords warm! Perhaps carefully consider the fabric- something that can be readily wiped clean of blood!

Manufacturing's up! For those still wearing the obligatory blinkers! "In the heat of the battle..." and all that guff. "General Gwyn Jenkins, KCB, OBE, ADC, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff served 'his' nation," certain tomes will duly record. 'History,' as written by the victors, most definitely not by the scholars!

Turns out not all manufacturing's to be boasted about!

As of yesterday, we are led to believe that the UK Government has relented and decided, enough is enough! 'No more Genocide!,' although being most careful not to use that specific term. Our proud Foreign Secretary spoke in the House, to sombre murmurings of approval. Briefly the man raised his buttocks, one further time, to spinelessly admonish Zara Sultans for having noticed that Lammy was lying, yet again, and again, even at this late juncture. Talks on economic ties (horribly anti-Semitically!) suspended- Israeli outrage afforded platform via our wonderful BBC- but, unspoken, children's-limb-severing and body-atomising munitions to continue to flow!

One can only assume that, highly reminiscent of Project Legacy, British Government is looking to cover its bloody backside! Whilst that bloody backside sloshes ever onward like the very worst Pit Bull Beast at play, edge of the lake! Said anolagical lake is not one of water! Manufacturing is going to have to do one hell of a lot of heavy lifting!

* Updated in light of David Lammy's (Foreign Secretary) statement on Israeli atrocities to the Commons.

One Thousand Places to Die Before You're Seen!

Such a trite concept; the idea that we should each have compiled a list of places to visit before we might die. Mega-high altitude- although not 'outer space' as is currently being termed (some pundits)- being but another of those tourist destinations. 'A thousand places to see before you die!'

We may well be living in a time of Genocide but let's all make sure to do our bit for the mighty age of consumerism! Don't look at that abomination, visit this beauty spot! Life made simple, if one has the funds!

'Democracy' Washes Death across the Middle East?
Another delegation of medical staff- fifteen this time!- mown down and murdered by Israel, the only 'democracy' in the Middle East!' 'Democracy?' Who voted for this? Well, much of the Israeli population although, if you rely on British MSM, you might well be unaware quite how alarmingly reactionary has become Starmer's 'greatest ally in the Middle East.

Initially Israel blustered that the vehicles were approaching suspiciously and without lights! In the heat of war, mistakes occur, of course they do! Except, this is all so old hat now- Israel murdering then lying to the world press. One might readily assume that Israel these days lies more easily than they speak truth. Assisted so admirably by the likes of the BBC, with its hot line to the IDF. Or else the Starmer Government, with fingers armpit deep in consequent body parts?

Evidence, following hot on the heels of truth, informs us that Israel has murdered yet more medical workers, to tally alongside the journalists it routinely targets, the children, entire sleeping families! Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, dontcha know!

The list of journalists killed in the line of their duty is now in the region of 220 and climbing! But, it's not just journalists, is it? It's whole extended families, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles ,aunts! Curiously, during much of this time, the BBC has claimed that footage from inside Gaza has been difficult, at times 'impossible' to obtain. As more and more and more floods out British MSM has reverted, instead, to 'difficult to verify'- that's you, Clive Myrie, you and your flagship BBC Verify. The Corporation, with its host of obedient client journalists, for reasons inexplicable, often tends to regard itself as party to a higher cause. Which cause, might that be? No wonder the Corporation was reluctant to properly report upon the hours and hours and hours of footage and testimony used by the ICJ to prosecute Israel for 'plausible' Genocide! The World Health Organisation has verified over 650 attacks on healthcare facilities inside Gaza, with over 1,300 deaths of Medical Staff! Which, I believe, is more than WW1, WW2, the Korean and the Vietnam Wars combined. But, don't worry about all that, listen instead to Clive Myrie, banging on about his reason for getting up in the morning- we might laugh if we could just stem the tears! A shout out to the Middle East's only democracy!

It transpired that the vehicles were fully lit- like a Christmas tree to the slaughter! What now from the murdering IDF? Seemed likely that there had been some sort of 'honest mistake.' Time to let those who committed the murders investigate? What thought the Foreign Secretary, the Right Honourable David Lammy? Any Idea if British supplied parts were involved, Dave? And, don't forget to wipe your nose!

Then, evidence that the murderers had tried to bury the evidence in a shallow grave. Were any of the medical staff unearthed with hands tied behind their backs? If so, it most certainly wouldn't be the first time, would it? If one dared to speak these truths from within the Labour Party would Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, let us not forget, be more inclined to express outrage at the actions of rogue state Israel, or to remove the whip from the outraged MPs? What are the chances of Mr Lammy perhaps fashioning a spine from the broken bodies of the thousands of murdered children and standing to address the House? What's his record like thus far? Man's very keen on spouting some sort of human rights myth. Still, he did look lovely in that shot with fan of the Genocide, Tzipi Hotovely- wet patch perfectly photo-shopped away.

Another hospital reduced to rubble on Israel's free pass on the world stage of inhuman indecency!


Spending on defence to be increased to 3% GDP by the next parliament! It's a dangerous world, dontcha know? No lifting of the two child benefit cap! Removal of the winter fuel allowance for a great many pensioners, in a cost of living crisis! Exactly what will be left that's worth defending with this increase in defence spending? Not really 'defence spending, is it Sir Keir? Tell it as it is... Offense Spending to be increased to 3% by the next parliament!

Terrorism through the looking glass!
Hamas aims to challenge its designated 'terrorist' label. Whilst they're doing so what do we think the chances are that their lawyers will be safe from Israeli drone targeting? It's a serious question; whatever the likely answer, still it should be asked. Israel routinely shuns respect for international borders should it's government take a disliking to particular individuals or groups. The US of A- leaders of the free world, dontcha know!- routinely hands out the free passes and the UK routinely ends up having to wipe its nose. So, who's really the greater terrorist threat to stability in the Middle East and beyond?

If Hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation, not just the military wing, the entirety, then, scale of the international crimes being duly considered, why not Israel? Why not the IDF, or the IOF (Israeli Occupation Force) as they are often labelled? Only one side in this 'conflict'- really it's a slaughter- is on trial at the ICJ for plausible Genocide! If justice is to be even-handed then those who supplied the arms might, justly, be regarded as being responsible for an increase in the scale of murder, War Crimes and ultimately Genocide? Just a well considered thought! That would implicate 'free world' USA, Germany and the UK. In the context of an ongoing plausible Genocide, this does raise serious questions on the subject of the terrorist label and who best deserves it, doesn't one think?

Jewish Holocaust Survivor perceived as a threat to good ol' British values!
Stephen Kapos, an 87 year old Holocaust survivor, is to be questioned by MET Police because he dared to lay flowers at Trafalgar Square 18th January 2025, in silent protest at the slaughter of the tens of thousands of Palestinian children by the rogue state of Israel. Large sections of the UK's media would have it that this act somehow may have caused Jewish persons in the region to feel threatened. 'Then they came for those who dared to be appalled at the slaughter of children, but I did not protest because I was not concerned about the slaughter of innocent children,' Martin Niemöller might have added to his famous poetic warning! If, as seems most unlikely, perhaps dishonest, anyone should find the silent laying of flowers in any way threatening then I am going to suggest that they have never spent 18 months starved of food and water, eking out something far short of what is internationally recognised as minimal human rights, watching friends, family, neighbours being atomised on an hourly basis. And, they, most certainly, will not have done so!

Police have cited Public Order Act conditions, moving more widely to seriously curtail the (former) right to protest. The MET working to keep public order on our streets and to bring about a wider sense of security for the 'whole' population? Can't have 87 year old pensioners intimidating communities can we? And, if we need reminding what genuine intimidation looks like we can do no better than to remind ourselves how peacefully the Sarah Everard vigil was MET Policed! Can't have women gathering to mark the murder of one young woman at the hands of one of the MET's own, can we? Write it as it is, journalists, 'anti-terror legislation being used to 'terrorise' critics of UK Government, hence often Genocide!

Protecting British Jews from the harm of living under the shadow of Genocide?
In particular, by attempting to pretend that the State of Israel is not currently in the act of Ethnically Cleansing Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights- all illegally occupied territories- daily raining down Western-supplied weapons of death, thus the constituent parts of an ongoing Genocide.

The British Board of Deputies' record on this Genocide is a truly shameful one! Even by British MSM standards (pitifully low!) the BOD, self-appointed voice of the entire British Jewish population- although not really, as Stephen Kapos would testify- has pretty much applauded Israeli War Crimes from the sidelines throughout. The UK's worst offending 'media' outlet, the Jewish Chronicle would know; their record in legal payouts is unparalleled- perhaps more a damnation of OFCOM than the JC or the BOD, both the latter already widely recognised to be flushed beyond the gutter! So, in the light of the shameful record of both BoD and JC, it should be known that the Palestinian bloodshed is now such that, first, JC and now Bod have ceased being able to stifle the weeping ghost of guilty conscience within the ranks.

First the Jewish Chronicle rag immersed itself so deeply into the spilt blood of Palestinian children that even the likes of Jonathan Freedland felt unable to stomach any more, eternal victim David Baddiel wept that he could no longer allow his 'good' name to be tainted by association. Then, even some amongst the sorry ranks of the hermetic BoD felt driven to go so far as to pen a short letter to the Financial Times, stating that their blind eye can no longer be turned upon Gaza. Tight in support of continued infanticide the BoD immediately sought to suspend its vice chairperson, Harriett Goldberg, along with 35 further members. One would have to wonder quite what further War Crime might have pushed the 36 to lift that heavy pen! Or, for that matter, BBC's Jonathan Freedland or 'I Don't Count's' David Baddiel. Heavens, if such 'highly principled' peoples as these can have spotted one severed child limb too many then surely it must be time for Human Rights experts like Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service and the Right Honourable David Lammy, future Lord Lammy, to act...
... but no! Apparently not quite yet! Too few deaths or something? What hope for humanity?

Not content with instantly relaying Israel's and US President Biden's falsehood that 40 babies were beheaded and that rape was widely perpetrated on 7th October 2023- wonder what Mr Myrie's 'Pursuit of Truth' has to say on the matter- the UK's Government wishes to continue to fund the nation's share in the Genocide. Apparently even journalist par excellence, Fiona Bruce, has nailed her name to the mast! I think a few inches of the timbers may still be visible above the waves, Fiona. Or not? When Sports Presenter Gary Lineker is able to make such short work of BBC Political Journalist Amol Rajan one really must start to ask a few questions, beyond those being framed by Bruce/Myrie/Rajan/Freedland/Tim Davie/Robbie Gibb et al! If we did but know it the Corporation is bustling with staff who are far from happy with its efforts. When the US ans UK supplied missiles fall silent and the US and UK enabled bulldozers move in to attempt to bury and curtail the body-part counting, who amongst us really wants to have our name associated with Genocide, or as cover for the act, no matter in what minor part? So, Bruce/Myrie/Rajan/Freedland/Tim Davie/Robbie Gibb et al, what sort of legacy are you seeking to furnish?

Free dining and Drinks!
Why not Cheer on the Ethnic Cleansing whilst holidaying at Disney? Former possible fan of the Nazis, now via his ghost, continues to pledge its full support for the ongoing Genocide, from across the Waves, both Atlantic and Mediterranean. But, do beware! Should one choose to take the family, do be careful to read the Ts-and-Cs if you subscribe to the TV Channel. Should you or any member of your group happen to sustain any sort of life changing or life ending mishap whilst holidaying at the resort you'll likely have signed away any legal means to compensation care of an 'infinite arbitration clause.' Other mega-corporations, like also Israeli super fan, Airbnb, DirectTV and Walmart are following Disney's 'happy' lead. Can't have Israeli arms monies being frittered away upon the misfortunes of others can we? No matter whoever might be culpable!

On the issue of whether Walt Disney was really a fully fledged fan of the Nazis imagine the might of the Disney Empire, imagine its huge wealth and political clout! Imagine also quite how much work may have gone into denying the claim that Disney and certain Nazis were ever on very chummy terms! Yet still there is much, and on a far smaller budget, to suggest that things may well have been otherwise. Either way, today's resultant empire seems to have found one heck of a best fit modern day ogre to keep on cheering from the sidelines! As with 21st Century Germany, it is possible to have been very much on the wrong side of both Genocides. History's more thorough academics are likely to record it as such!

As Israel now quite openly weaponises starvation and disease through an absolute blockade of all food, fuel and water (not) entering Gaza, still those such as the Right Honourable David Lammy, future Member of the House of Lords, wrangles events such that the UK may continue to fund arms to Israel, to supply military reconnaissance via Akrotiri in Cyprus. We all watched Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, give a nod to Israel's initial push to starve Palestinian children, women and non-combatant men, first time round. Has anyone seen him condemning Israeli attempts at weaponising starvation and disease this time? Thought not!

Nothing in the manner of aid has entered Gaza since early March, the number of documented deaths through starvation of infants continues to climb! Should Palestinian fishermen attempt to fish the waters- their own seashores- Israeli gunships will target and obliterate them. Already the desalination plants have been shelled inoperable- perhaps another Israeli investigation will fall by the wayside? Anyone keeping score? Ben Gavir, Israeli Security Minister, wants to bomb the remaining stores still distributing food within the Gaza Strip, vociferously supported in this aim by several US Republicans. Those who have been paying attention will likely have deduced that it is unlikely that the UK will do much to intervene on the part of humanity.

There are undoubtedly a thousand ways to die before you're properly seen by the bigger corporations or the more reactionary governments of present day neoliberalism!

Paint a picture,
bear with me here! Science Fiction stabs at this sort of thing all the while. Charlie Brooker's 'Black Mirror' does it better than most. We watch the short film or offering, a situation somewhat outside of the current reach of whatever institution, corporation, nation, concept, whatever. But, invariably, the best efforts are those that closest reference something of today's globe and value system, although not actually named, which might invoke heavy litigation. We watch and we instinctively know which corporations, which national systems and processes, perhaps even which specific individuals are being 'paralleled.' Most Sci Fi might best be described as something of 'a jolly good romp!' Perhaps it'll be scary, involve some sort of alien being or alien concept; it may fall well short as an allegorical effort.

Even so a significant minority of Science Fictionesque offerings go somewhat beyond in their ability to speculate upon possible or credible futures. One of my long-time favourites is 'Silent Running' (1972). The globe has not yet seen its former forests bottled up and sent out into space, lest they might come in useful at some later stage, but we have sat back and permitted lobbied MPs and Lords to wave through the increased monetisation of forests and the lands thus encompassed. Sir Keir Starmer's, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, not Labour Government has just done this again. Slight of hand should we not have noticed, tweaks in the heavy favour of developers over nature this time round. Britain! The most nature depleted nation in Western (maybe the entirety of) Europe! And counting! Vote Labour, why not? What was it we hoped for?

Still painting- imagine it's oils if you like, takes longer to dry. If we've been paying attention we'll have observed Israel being handed pretty much a free pass at bombing and invading, in addition to the Occupied Palestinian Territories, also Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iran, ably assisted by good ol' Uncle Sam! When the BBC routinely joined in with the condemnation of Corbyn's visit to Hammam Chott in Tunisia, it should more accurately have been reported that he was there to commemorate the international crime of Israel's killing of 68 people, injuring over 100, in 1985. It wasn't reported as such, in major part, because the BBC had relinquished the integrity of its political journalism, Clive. Israel invaded Tunisian airspace and bombed Hammam Chott, murdering those 68 people. Then the pilots flew home in time for tea and no consequences! No champers, though, as Arafat wasn't there! Still, it's another 68 chalked up to the murderous regime of the Israeli Colony. Easy enough to check! Only Democracy in the Middle East, dontcha know!

So, this picture, if we may! Imagine, your beautiful niece is enjoying a day out! Where shall we imagine her? Maybe Southend-on-Sea, it suits the picture and the narrative. Candyfloss! Chips along the seafront! At some point she opts for the pier, her and her happy party of, shall we say, eight. It's a twenty-first birthday outing, the weather's perfect! Beautiful!

In this picture, however, she fails to make it home! Along with her eight close friends and, let's imagine, sixteen other visitors to the pier. Perfect weather, end of the pier, consider the numbers! Twenty-five fatalities; how many should we 'paint' as injuries? It's only fiction! Turns out, false 'intelligence,' that the Imaelian Occupation Force believed that a particular doctor who once saved the life of a child of a non-compliant administrator might also have been present on the pier. Intelligence from Artoki, let's imagine. Targeted missile strike! Picture's turned a bit Hieronymus Bosch!

Naturally, in order for this 'painted picture' to work, we might have to run Imael, Artoki and the IOF through the legal department. 'Any similarity is purely coincidental,' kinda thing! But viewers would know! It's only a fictitious 'picture!' So what, in this fictitious imagery should we have the Right Honourable Kid Starver PM, former Human Rights Lawyer, do and say? What about his Foreign Secretary, Lord Lamb-Slaughter(er), also former, Human Rights Lawyer? It sure as hell wouldn't ring true if the UK immediately ceased trading with the Apartheid State of Imael.

Bit of imagination and what have you got? Aside from a great deal of lobbying from certain quarters. Project forward, say another half-dozen years- will the fictitious painting appear in any way a tad more prophetic? Imagine!

So, as we casually wander along the aisle labelled, 'British Democracy' reflect upon what's been happening in the manner of 'change' under the government of Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, son of a Toolmaker (apparently), what do we observe?

Democracy! We can always vote in another lot. Replace this lot! As we did with Thangam Debbonaire and Jonathan Ashworth. Doubt PM Starmer would interfere! Doubt we'll see either soon in the House of Lords. What thinks Baroness Debbonaire, upstanding in the interests of democracy? The United Kingdom, the only democracy within the shores of the United Kingdom, dontcha know!

One Thousand Places to Die Before you're Seen!
And counting!

Shouting Power into the Face of Truth!

I find these days, I rarely enjoy posting articles. I regard it as shouting into the face of the hurricane. It gets in the way of more enjoyable stuff. More than once or twice I have abandoned this site, intending never to return.

It seems that few read it; there are far more informative sites. Although, I would suggest, where Palestine is concerned, the BBC is not one of those. When the fabricated anti-Semitism 'crisis' brought about the undermining of one of the UK's more democratic political parties it was the BBC and the Guardian newspaper that may have done most damage to the Labour Party, thus also UK's democracy. Think, the public, some of them, knew what to expect from the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, the Spectator, but many still sought a more honest refuge within the pages of the Guardian, the late night politics of the BBC.

I would contest that the BBC's 'BBC Verify' site, as repeatedly endorsed by Clive Myrie, may well have been launched, at least in part, with the aim of undermining bodies seeking to question the Corporation's claim at 'impartial reporting.' After all, if the world's largest news corporation doesn't even bother to report upon an incident then, it might be contested, that there is nothing upon which to adjudge- as with B'Tselem's finding (Israel's largest Human Rights Organisation) that Israel was already operating as an Apartheid state, that its current actions in Gaza are likely to constitute Genocide, as with Amnesty International's finding, after months of heartbreaking research and review, that Israel is committing Genocide. The BBC would likely contest that Amnesty's findings 'were' reported upon- upon B'Tselem's ruling seems less likely. But the BBC is a huge institution- the pertinent question here might be, 'where was the news 'buried?' Not only is Genocide the worst crime that may be committed by nation upon nation, it's also, therefore, headline news! So might be a Human Right's ruling that one of the UK's (so termed) allies operates as an Apartheid State. For many/most who rely upon the BBC, maybe, awareness of Amnesty's report was effectively omitted, B'Tselem's ruling rubbed out!

This is not Gaza, the destruction in Gaza is immeasurably worse!

Now that Israel's Genocide upon Occupied Palestine is fifteen months ongoing the BBC and the Guardian are finally beginning to poke around at the edges of suggesting that it is Genocide. Too late! Too late, BBC! Too late and counting Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (toolmaker's son), Genocide enabler. Too late David Lammy, Foreign Secretary, future Member of the House of Lords, Genocide apologist.

I have made the effort to keep abreast of the ongoing War Crimes. The pain that has taken up residence in my chest is now 'a permanence,' so much so that sometimes I can barely stomach to look beyond the first paragraph or image of Israel's latest atrocity- how history repeats itself! But, I do look and read, because I have to. My pain is as if nothing!

* I have seen footage of IDF personnel posing as universities are detonated.
* I have seen female IDF personnel similarly posing amongst the ruins they have recently brought about, as if for some sort of monstrous calendar- one may well exist for all I know.
* ... watched Israeli fans chanting "Fuck the Arabs!" and "There are no schools in Palestine because we've bombed them!" later to see Starmer and Lammy misrepresenting footage as 'anti-Semitic pogrom.' It is unbelievable that either did not know.
* I have watched the US President Biden categorically state that he looked at photographic evidence that 40 babies were beheaded, others burned in ovens, women raped, false news that BBC amongst others helped to spread worldwide. Evidence has shown that no babies were thus killed, no evidence of rape yet exists- the BBC has not headlined this!
* ... watched male IDF personnel trying of women's underclothes, smashing various items.
* ... seen x-rays of IDF sniper bullets in the skulls and necks of dead Palestinian children.
* ... listened to a Palestinian girl screaming under gunfire, as she attempts to direct ambulance staff to where she shares a car with her recently shot family, until her voice ceased after a hail of machinegun fire.
* ... seen craters created by 2,000 pound US supplied bombs, in the midst of a camp of flimsy tents.
* ... seen footage of Palestinians burning alive, in consequence of sustained missile attack- our's?- on tented populations.
* ... watched Israeli civilians, including young boys, throw flour supplies from a truck and trample upon the burst contents, whilst armed IDF personnel watch and do nothing.
* ... watched unarmed, wounded civilians approaching along rubble streets, to be picked off as sniper practice.
* ... read about mass graves being discovered, hospital staff and patients, some with cannulas still in place.
* ... read reports of Palestinians being rounded up- doctors, patients, civilians- cuffed with cable ties and (I think the term is) 'disappeared.'
* ... seen images of amputations caused through use of cable ties.
* ... read so many thoroughly documented reports of torture being carried out in Israeli 'prisons.'
* ... watched and read statements and calls by Knesset members and prominent Israeli figures, for War Crimes to continue upon Palestinians.
* There is growing evidence that Israel has been testing ever more inhuman weaponry- 'Field Tested'- weaponry which is likely to further contravene international laws of conflict. Accounts are leaking through the 'Terror Dome,' of detonations capable of atomising victims to mist, reducing concrete to dust. Who worse than the IDF to possess such weaponry? Let's pray the reports are not true! Israeli use of white phosphorus against unarmed civilians has been filmed.

This is not Gaza, the destruction in Gaza is immeasurably worse!

The silence coming from current members of the 'Labour' Cabinet/Government rings in the air so loudly that it risks causing tinnitus. The Party has many more honourable members, Councillors and a few MPs, but 'Labour' in Government now seems to serve more as disguise than label. Like thousands of others I left (or was expelled/suspended) during the manufactured ant-Semitism 'crisis.'

I offer these few names as examples of Labour's updated depletion of any true values. Expect little during its time in office, which may well turn out to be a single term.
* Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (toolmaker's son)- consider the promises, pledges, whatever he has undertaken. Consider the statement he made after Labour's 2019 Election defeat, consider the values he pretended to espouse when he stood for election as the Head of the Party. Well Keir, they did 'cut off water and fuel and food and humanitarian aid! Rest now, your Legacy is written!
* Right Honourable David Lammy, likely future Member of the House of Lords- consider his many deflections of the term Genocide in Palestine, when judged against his statements on Russia, his past statements on Windrush (note 'past')
* Right Honourable Luke Akehurst- consider, as Secretary of right-wing faction Labour First, appointed to Labour NEC, from which position he nominated himself as Labour Candidate, hundreds of miles away, in North Durham, where the standing candidate was deselected not by members but from Labour Headquarters where Akehurst was an NEC member. An individual who would be difficult to describe without recourse to profanity.
* David Mencer- consider, Mencer was former Director of Labour Friends of Israel at the time of the fabricated anti-Semitism 'crisis,' who moved seamlessly to Israeli spokesperson for whom no act of Genocide by Israel cannot be excused. Another character difficult to describe without reverting to profanity.
* Baroness Margaret Hodge of Barking, Government Anti-Corruption Champion- consider, someone who actually screamed 'anti-Semitism!' during the fabricated 'crisis. She cited several former Labour members yet, curiously, never reported any as 'guilty of hate-crime.' During the ongoing Genocide she has travelled to Israel and posed for pictures with members of the Israeli War Cabinet.
* Baron Peter Benjamin Mandelson- consider, quoted as saying he 'worked tirelessly for the downfall of his own political Party during the 2019 Election Campaign. Mandelson said, in response to 'evidence' he phoned Jeffrey Epstein- serving time for child sex trafficking, friend of Prince Andrew- that he "didn't recall" phoning Epstein whilst he was in prison, lawyerly speak or not? Still he was appointed Ambassador to the United States of America by Starmer.
* President of the USA, Joe Biden- obviously not a Labour Party member yet directly and indirectly responsible for the immense damage there inflicted, via AIPAC and other Israeli lobbyists. Arming the ongoing Genocide will have him remembered as a monster! No doubt some are already lining him up for the Peace Prize.
* Baron Walney, John Woodcock, formerly Labour, now 'Cross-bench peer, former Conservative 'Adviser on Political Violence and Disruption- consider Woodcock fled Labour under (discontinued) complaint of sexual harassment. Still given peerage by PM Johnson, subsequently appointed 'Adviser' role. Accused by many of suppressing Palestinian voices. He unashamedly poses alongside Baroness Hodge and members of the Israeli War Cabinet


I have not linked most of this. I have done so many times before. But there is a sort of footnote below, linked:

* There is a very informative film now available on YouTube: 'Israelism.' Created by two young American Jews- Simone Zimmerman and Eitan (?) who have sought to uncover why numbers of (certain) Americans behave in a manner which has enabled Genocide.
* Mention of prohibited weapons' being used by Israel in Gaza.
* Article investigating misreporting of Amsterdam riots.
* Article that investigates BBC claims of impartiality. Names and instances are cited in the article:
BBC Director General Tim Davie
BBC CEO Deborah Turness
BBC Director of News Content Richard Burgess
Head of BBC online Raffi Berg
Sir Robbie Gibb, BBC's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee.
Chairman Arts Council Nicholas Serota
BBC Chair Samir Shah
Laura Kuenssbeg
Panorama 'Is Labour Anti-Semitic?'
* Article that investigates OFCOM's role


All of the articles linked are far more worthy of a read. Often it seems we are experiencing the death of proper journalism in the West- consider the role and the power of the Editor to dictate what we are allowed to read, listen to or watch! Many of those who continue to report on Gaza and other considered controversial issues face increasing harassment and threat from disingenuous actors. Is the UK Police Force now far more 'Mercenaries for 'hire'' than 'Safe-Guarders' of anything worth safeguarding?

When the Israeli Genocide ceases- surely they cannot smear their hatred across the entire Middle East- what will the UK want to report? Will BBC verify challenge the death toll as unverifiable? Will former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, Keir Starmer? Who will be left to name the thousands of dead children, women and men (non-combatants and fighters)? As any survivors scatter, will culpable Governments, even then, dare to say, 'We did not know?' Will they callously pretend they knew less than we did? Will the guilty parties shout power into the face of truth? They often do but, this time it's Genocide!
