Tonight I'm talking about how credit underpinned the alienation of Maori land in the 1860s, and drawing lessons for resistance from Te Peeke o Aotearoa - the Kingitanga bank.

Adnan Bursh, educated at King's College London, was tortured to death by Israeli soldiers. @KCLalumni @KingsCollegeLon your silence is deafening.

Today, all of Palestine grieves the loss of Professor Adnan Bursh, the renowned surgeon of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, who was tortured to death by Israeli soldiers while in prison.
In Nov, soldiers forced him out of Shifa Hospital before later abducting him at Awda Hospital.🕯️

He is in Estonia. Estonia is not at war, and according to the Foreign Office is safe to visit.

The British Military has deployed 500 extra soldiers to the military base in Cyprus that is supplying weapons to Israel during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
