There was some hope that #Labour coming into power MIGHT change how the UK is being governed - for the better. Instead Labour has demonstrated that it is no better than the #Tories particularly in relation to #HumanRights At the next election my vote will continue to support the #GreenParty

We live in a world: - where war criminals govern countries - where a White man has mental health problems and a Black man is a terrorist for the same crime - where one community of refugees are given sanctury but another community is told to go back home 1/3

Got emotional at Stories That Made Us – Roots, Resilience, Representation @the-herbert.bsky.social Seeing South Asian's history in Coventry was incredibly powerful, especially as my great-grandfather lived here during WWII. We are part of Coventry & Coventry is part of us. @hardishvirk.bsky.social

Happy Diwali - Peace & Love 🪔

The museum @philsilvers.bsky.social at FarGo Village #Coventry is a treasure trove of popular cultural history and comedy. And then there's #FunkoPop merchandise enroute to the museum. All in the heart of Coventry's own mini-Camden. #PhilSilvers #SergeantBilko

Complaints of racism were often recast as “banter” or personality clashes, protecting perpetrators and leaving those who spoke up accused of “playing the race card” or being “too sensitive”. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 2025 within the Met Police Force might aswell be the 1980s. #Racism

On FRIDAY 5th DECEMBER we are putting on a MUSIC night of DEFIANCE where we will be raising funds for LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM It's FREE ENTRY and you can donate what you can afford (if anything at all) on the night 2GETHER we are STRONGER #LoveMusicHateRacism #MusicOfDefiance

Some more pictures from Saturday’s huge Palestine march #FreePalestine

We must sever all diplomatic ties with the genocidal apartheid state of Israel immediately. Expel the ambassador. Close the embassy. As apartheid South Africa was isolated, so too must Israel be — a pariah state. We’ll march until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

#Labour has legitimised a divisive culture like we never thought a Labour government would. From passing draconian legislation, leading to the aggressive arrests of innocent protestors calling for a stop to a genocide to spreading anti-migrant/ anti-refugee rhetoric. Voters will NEVER forget.

British government has a history of silencing legitimate protest and resistence #RowlattAct whilst supporting attacks on the innocent #JallianwalaBagh British governments will always have colonial oppression in their DNA. Doesn't matter if it's a Labour or Tory government - both are the same.

UK would not be the country it is without it's looting of countries like India and over 100 years of migration. It would be much worse of. Colonialism and commonwealth has led to British born children of migrants like me. We have contributed significantly to the country we call home - England.

#Britain was responsible for the Balfour Declaration and Mandate for Palestine, which led to the displacement and oppression of the #Palestinian people for 77 years. British governments don't care about Palestinian lives, otherwise they would have not supported the genocide in #Gaza 1/2

That was brilliant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #England #EuroCup2025 ⚽️ #History in the making

It did NOT start on the 7th October 2023. The ethnic cleansing began over 75 years ago. Learn the history so that we/ you can challenge those committing and enabling the genocide in #Gaza

Unlike Reform, we’re doing things differently with democracy & inclusivity at the core. From the launch to the party, conference, structures & yes - even the name! - we’re building it together. It might feel unfamiliar to you. It’s called democracy. 🔗 yourparty.uk

#28YearsLater where are the Black and brown characters?! Or was the token brown character one of the alphas? Which would make it even worse. Otherwise not as good as the first two movies but had some very good set pieces and interesting symbolism. 3/5

It is NOT a war It is NOT a conflict It is NOT a fight It is NOT defence It is a GENOCIDE Calling it anything else contributes the mass ethnic cleansing in #Gaza

Don't believe a word David Lammy said on the radio this morning about the UK government not being complicit in the genocide in Gaza. Labour is bringing in draconian laws to silence pro-Palestine & anti-genocide protests. We will continue to protest for a STOP to the ethnic cleansing in #Gaza

STOP bands like Disturbed playing concerts, because they not only support the genocide in Gaza but also sign the bombs that are killing innocent people including children. #FreePalestine #StopKillingPeople

The least decent human beings should be feeling is a rage of words against a genocidal regime and the governments who are shifting the blame from the perpetrator to the protestor. Those being attacked for challenging murderers & advocating human rights will be remembered for doing the right thing.

British monarch is symbolic of the atrocities of the British Empire through its' honours system whilst putting on performative social events like garden parties to justify the millions of public money spent on them. Decolonising the mind-set is more urgent than ever. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Anti-IDF is NOT Antisemitism | It's Pro-Human Rights | Those in authority telling you otherwise are part of the problem | They are diverting focus from the genocide in Gaza to calling pro-human rights activists terrorists | Staying silent isn't an option - only power to the people is the answer ✊🏽

Music artists calling for the death of a military force responsible for the death of babies & children are the one's being attacked. Words of the artist will not result in death but the bullets of the military continue to kill! #BobVylan #Kneecap #Glastonbury #FreeGaza #FreePalestine #StopKilling

What's worse than listening to Trump's unintelligence and vile narcissism, is watching world leaders unashamedly sucking up to him, whilst innocent people incl. children are being massacred under their watch. Watching #Trump speak with his stooges at the #NatoSummit is beyond belief.

#Kneecap are being attacked by the state for essentially supporting human rights & challenging a system upholding human rights violations whilst White supremacy groups get away with advocating hate & violence. It's hypocrisy & millions can see through it.

Every country is told to follow international law but Israel & US do whatever they want to & instead of condemning them, European countries endorse them. Labour government is a stain on labour values - Starmer & his genocide enablers should be ashamed. We are entering a new era of war & resistence.

I love alot about the #BBC but their damaging news reporting needs a clean start with new leadership and editors OR it needs to go. It's never been impartial. Yes, i'm speaking about their biased reporting on #Israel #Palestine #Gaza

F**k Netanyahu F**k Trump F**k Starmer F**k Modi F**k ALL politicians complicit/ implicit to the genocide of the Palestinian people. History will judge their actions and inactions harshly. But those suffering can't wait for history, that's why we in our millions will continue our solidarity 🇵🇸

UK government does not represent Labour values with its attack on those on low to no income, its' support of the genocidal Israel and cosying up to far right politicians such as Trump (even though Tony Blair also did that). "All war represents a failure of diplomacy." Tony Benn (true Labour MP).

Today, I am presenting the Gaza (independent public inquiry) Bill. MPs must decide: will you support our call for an inquiry into the UK’s complicity in genocide, or will you block our attempts to uncover the truth?

Yes to EVERYTHING @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social is saying in the House of Commons as part of the 'Gaza (Independent Public Inquiry) Bill'. PM and certain members of the Labour Government are complicit in the crimes against the Palestinian people by arming Israel & not enforcing sanctions against Israel.

Watching House of Commons on news & response of the Foreign Office Minister is not good enough. He continues to avoid answering the questions about the genocide in Gaza, their support of Israel, lack of sanctions and not officially announcing Palestine as an independent state. They are complicit.

Keir Starmer and those in his government who are fueling the genocide in Gaza are part of the global hypocrisy and racist policies that support countries like Ukraine and their right for existence but stay silent in the face of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. #STOPArmingIsrael #FreeGaza

'The Epic Story of Graffiti' currently exhibiting in Birmingham city centre is EPIC! An incredible insight into the photography of Henry Chalfant. And it's FREE! #HipHop #Culture #Graffiti #NewYork www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We live in a world where those advocating for #HumanRights are being attacked and those who are commiting a #genocide are being protected. What a hypocritical world we are leaving for future generations. Conflict will never end until EVERYONE is FREE. #FreePalestine #FreeGaza

#GaryLineker is not anti-semetic but someone who has a history of speaking up for #HumanRights like the genocide in #Gaza unlike the #BBC which has a history of biased news reporting. #DontBelieveTheHype

Diddy is NOT the voice of #HipHop as many broadcasters keep saying. No one person represents Hip Hop (with the MC being one element), like no one country or rock artist represents their respective genre. Hip Hop or the rap game is a nuanced and diverse community - some bad but many are good.

#DavidAttenborough has been a consistent in my life, since I watched 'Life on Earth' when I was a kid to watching his incredibly powerful documentaries with my daughter today. 99 years old and still advocating on behalf of planet Earth 🌍🌎🌏 #Legend 🏞 canvas-story.bbcrewind.co.uk/attenborough...

Social media, emails, notifications, AI and anything else you do online is backed up by tons of servers which consume tons of energy, having an impact on the environment. It's not only cars, planes and meat.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion #EDI policies were set up to create equal opportunities for marginalised communities, who were treated unequally within an system designed to uphold these inequalities by White men like #NigelFarage & #DonaldTrump who are now trying to dismantle them. Wonder why?!

Millionnaires & Billionnaires telling working class communities they understand their struggles is as far away from the truth as anything could be. These men are only looking out for their own agenda. #Trump #Farage #Musk #DontBelieveTheHype

The statement condemns the horrific attack in Kashmir, highlights the dangerous warmongering between India and Pakistan, and warns how far-right forces are exploiting the situation. Please sign: 'Pahalgam Killings: A Call for Peace, Justice and Unity' ⬇️ forms.gle/MJKSPhtVSkHt...

Israel continues to kill, lie, kill, lie AND nothing is done about it. Millions including high profile figures, countries and human rights organisations have called a stop to the genocide in #Gaza but it continues. Where does the power sit to STOP the murder of Palestinian children, women and men?!
