Came across this on Insta, thought how something imperfect can be so perfect. It’s sad, beautiful and innocent. Brought tears to my eyes. She’s going to go far.
Latest reading material: Troublesome People, Enemies of War 1916~1986. “After all, we have to admit that it is always the troublesome people who force us to remedy the abuses that we lazily let slide” - Bernard Shaw
David Lammy says: “the conditional pardon replaces the death penalty with life imprisonment”. I’m sure she’ll be delighted to hear that.
Nothing says “it’s me against the establishment” more than these photos. How politically illiterate do you have to be to twice vote for a corrupt politician. Clacton.. “hold my beer”.
“I believe that marriage isn’t between a man and a woman, but between love and love.” - Frank Ocean
Make no mistake, these two are cut from the same cloth, peddling the same lies, division to profit for themselves and their paymasters. They are not “men of the people”.
Proud to have been one of the half a million that took part in the march yesterday against the rise of the far right, Tommy Robinson, Farage and their apologists and enablers. Racism, division and hate will never win.
The Enemy Wins Not when the last bomb falls, not when his flag is raised. The enemy wins when the children die and us, in our anger and rage and grief we dance and applaud. When we have become him, that is when the enemy wins.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has”. - Margaret Mead
The hypocrisy of the racist frog, Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files 38,000 times. Yet, not a peep from him or his supporters.
On the London march for #Palestine. Children make up about 30% of people killed in #Gaza. Here’s the numbers: Children under 18: 20,179. Men: 18-59 31,754. Women: 18-59 10,427. Adults 60+: 4,813. It’s estimated there could be up 10,000 bodies still under the rubble in Gaza.
This says everything the voters of #GortonAndDenton need to know about Reform. A rat bag of fascists, failed Tories and the politically illiterate.
"If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity." - Albert Einstein
It all should have ended back in 2015 with this. It told us everything we needed to know about the man baby.
“The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.” - Gustave Le Bon
The Voice of Hind Rajab, telling the death of 6 year old Hind Rajab in #Gaza, who was trapped on the phone for 3 hours in a car surrounded by six relatives killed by Israeli forces, only to be shot dead herself, after soldiers fired 335 rounds into the car and the ambulance that came to collect her.
Trump also on Denmark and Greenland: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land." Now, I have questions.. 🤔
