Good to know that double tapping aid workers is ok but you draw the line at voting 10 times.

i feel like westminster is going to spend so much time talking about banning protest and/or zack polanski that the serious conversation that needs to happen about the failure of prevent to act to stop these extremists despite referrals again and again just isn’t going to happen

if zack polanski kicks the commissioner of the metropolitan police in the head when they have their meeting, i think everyone should reserve judgement - he deserves support, not second guessing his difficult split second decisions
May 1
Split-second decisions in dangerous situations aren’t made with the benefit of hindsight. Our officers put themselves in harm’s way to keep the public safe. They deserve support, not second-guessing. If questions are to be asked, that’s not for now. 2/3

A woman speaking during Margaret Thatcher’s funeral:
“Don't you think she did any good?”
“Not a bit of good, not a bit. I'd put a stake through her heart and a garrot around her neck to make sure she never came back.”

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.
Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.
The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

I spent 48hrs desperately hoping the story of the 2-year-old baby being tortured by the IDF in Gaza was fake news or whatever, because I just couldn't face the truth.
I summoned the stomach to check the sources & video & honestly, it's cast iron.
Utterly beyond depravity.

What else would you do over easter weekend?
👏 FULL PROGRAMME RELEASE 👏
We are extremely excited to announce or full programme for this years festival, which will kick off in 2 weeks!!!
We'll have sessions covering a whole range of socialist topics, always with an aim of how can we organise to win. Covering party politics with the Greens and Your Party, fighting far right extremism locally & globally and looking at the state of Trade Union organising 100 years on from the General Strike. And be sure to make our closing session, where we will confront the biggest issue of our time, rising imperialism. We'll discuss how we can and must organise against it as socialists and how YOU can do it - for a liberated Palestine, Iran and and for the whole international working class ✊️ 🇵🇸 ⚒️
We'll be joined by a whole range of organisers - rank-and-file trade unionists, authors, academics, and leading activists in their fields - as well as organisations from up and down the country including: Palestine Youth Movement (@pymbritain), Greens Organise (@greensorganise), The Bristol Cable (@thebristolcable), Bristol Apartheid-Free Zone (@bristolafz), Workers For a Free Palestine (@workers4pal), Iskra Books (@read_iskrabooks), local union branches, and many more!
All of this comes with not only FREE CHILDCARE ALL DAY for the mini-Marxists out there (all ages welcome!), but for the first time this year a full youth programme aimed at 11-16 year olds interested in left wing and socialist politics. 16s and under all get in free for the festival (but still need to "buy" a ticket on headfirst!)
As well as hours of amazing educational content, we've got great evening entertainment lined up. We'll be kicking off on the Friday night with socialist Shark Tank (i.e. Marx Tank) and on Saturday we have a whole evening of entertainment lined up - a pub quiz, sea shanties workshop, bands, and DJ's late into the night.
Full details of the programming and sessions can be found on our website: bristoltransformed.co.uk/fes…
Festival Tickets: hdfst.uk/e145672
Afterparty Tickets (needed for Saturday evening entertainment): hdfst.uk/e150198

If you want to know how disingenuous people are they're on here today clutching their pearls about Bristol Apartheid-Free Zone, a peaceful campaign about talking to your neighbours, when a bunch of actual far-right thugs besieged a pub in Bristol literally yesterday

What a nonsense this is.
When we were winning back pay for support staff at CST in Bristol - NEU was for them.
When we were saving jobs at ATLP - NEU was for them.
We centre low paid women workers and fight for them.
Desperate stuff from GMB.

BREAKING: Ive been told that Damien Egan conducted a visit to Brunel Academy today (The school he was asked not to visit last yr). He was apparently accompanied by a riot van. Ofsted found the school "inclusive" "tolerance and respect for the diversity of modern Britain"... MAD
