A new activist group has popped up and called itself Yvette Cooper. Amazing stuff

There needs to be more discussion around separating the country of Israel from its dominant religion. So when people refer to the systematic murder organised by the country, it's understood that it doesn't make any reference to the Jewish people.

So, if they shut down and a new org called "Palestine Initiative" that happens to be coincidentally led by the same folks... all good?

If you’re serious, no, not all good. By UK law any organization led by the same people will automatically be labeled a terrorist organization.

Sorry what

It was bad enough when Boris made protests illegal (did that ever go through) but this? This is disgusting.

How can Labour just do own goals day after day I do not know. At this point they’re just a continuation of the sad fucking state of Tory cabinets. From A team to B to D (was Rishi D? ) to fucking a big capital F with Starmer. I had such high hopes for them in the first week. Such lofty promises. But they’ve consistently let me down on an actual weekly basis.

It’s incredible really.

(I’ve now read the article) Ah ok it’s an actual activist group not just a blanket law applied to everyone….

Still…

It has been red tory v. blue tory since Blair took leadership in '93/'94.

It is more of less the same as the US (where it was red v blue republicans for a few decades and is now Republicans calling themselves 'Democrats' v. Christian Nationalist Fascists).

It is the natural continuation of Reaganite/Thatcherite neo-liberal capitalist ideology.

The outcome for the UK will be a lurch right as the poor vote for parties (Reform) who have used the immigration (that has caused serious legitimate problems for poor communities that simply can't afford to support the huge number of asylum seekers that have been dumped upon them) and other cultural issues of various legitimacy (imvho) that poor people have been coerced into finding important, as wedge issues.

Edit - obviously this lurch to the right is the opposite of what should happen but here we go. It is what fossil-fuel powered capitalists prefer to socialism and an egalitarian society any day.

Make signs that say "I support ________ ______" and let the media fill in the blanks for you.

Does the colonies have too much power over The Commonwealth?

Death to Pissrael!!!

It may also be illegal to refuse to give over passwords for your devices. For trivial stuff this doesn't apply but a terrorist group it likely does.

So remember to practice good data security.

I was following this and was sad to hear about this happening despite excellent counterarguments from people like Zarah Sultana. These are scary times, but I was encouraged there was at least this response yesterday (just watch the first ~45 seconds): Invidious | ~Youtube~
