Firstly, it's not a war, is it? It's genocide; only one side is fighting!

Secondly, the main change involves politicians switching from 'Lest we forget...' to 'Couldn't care less...'

Thirdly, Guardian writers collaborate in this new holocaust. Shame on you!

Oh, I don't think it's forgotten, it's just that it's only one wedge in a great big pie chart of existential threat which has to jockey for attention alongside other urgent matters, such as poverty and fascist oppression... 📊

I doubt it, seeing as Burnham is pressing ahead with a massive army budget boost which will only exacerbate the wave of refugees & migrants attempting to flee the global pain, economic collapse and suffering we help create.

'British territories' deliberately create the most exclusive 'tax havens' (read 'dodge facilities') anywhere in the world, but look, a Russian...

According to the raised eyebrows, Putin was to blame for Brexit too... 🤯

We have a long history of rebellion & uprising on these shores, but these histories, these heroes, are suppressed extremely effectively. Nowadays, facial recognition technology, oppressive legislation, militarised police, demonisation by the press, precarious employment all serve to prevent dissent.

Why not give it another think and see if you can locate that point you missed? 😉

Nicolás Maduro is being kept in solitary confinement, locked in a 6ft by 10ft room for more than 23 hours a day All because he wouldn't let Donald Trump steal Venezuela's oil The silence from the international community is deafening They don't care about US/Israeli War Crimes

What amazing biased illogic that the only party which did better in the by-election is the one all the mass media are saying failed and it's leader should resign ... meme via Dianne Drew

Nazism has been raising in the UK. Another government paid by USA in the interests of their terror colony of yesrael.

"The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage of Badenoch ... and the utterly dismissive coverage of Polanski, who has significantly improved his party’s standing over the past year, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK"

To be fair, soldiers stand on their conscience every time they strap their boots on…

Yeah, “the war crimes were regrettably necessary” is pretty much what I expect, and I imagine it’ll work too.

In 2017 I interviewed a soldier who took part in the SAS night raids in Afghanistan. In 2024| gave evidence to the public inquiry into allegations of Extra Judicial Killings. While I believe those EJKs took place it is essential to understand the strategic context. My book Blades asks the fundamental question 'what would you have done?' Because at the time UK govt support for Counter Terrorism operations was non-existent. The human rights of the Taliban were prioritised over the lives of British soldiers. SAS soldiers faced an impossible dilemma. The bombmakers and facilitators operated outside UK ROE and were recycled back onto the battlefield within 96hrs of capture. Yet the IED networks represented the enemy's most potent threat. Many hundreds of British soldiers and Afghan civilians were being blown up. I am proud that my newspaper the Mail has had the courage to set out these arguments. This is bold journalism. The SAS are not a rogue unit and its soldiers acted rationally and professionally in impossible

Zionism is racism.

This was inevitable. We are a challenge to the status quo and they will do everything they can to keep the oil burning and the bombs falling.

I mean no disrespect to the Welsh or Scots, being quarter Welsh myself and having grown up near Welshpool, and specifically only listed (some) English revolts due to limited space & to focus on class rather than nationalism. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
