Some things are going well!

How many of us are aware what the overturning of AMOC (more popularly recognised as the Gulf Stream) will mean for all life?

Join the campaign to end UK complicity in genocide and to protect our rights and freedoms this November: wedonotcomply.org

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.

Brilliant news for the Lift the Ban campaign

Lots to do to get several Green party candidates into the Senedd

Despite the media attention he receives, Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law. Don't let him persuade you his policies are popular. @europeanmovement.co.uk

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Watching the Labour party cede more and more ground to the racist far right is excruciating

Home Secretary - giving ground again to the far right. It's so incredibly stupid!!

They call it progress. A card like Estonia. Digital ID for migrants, then workers, then you. Efficiency is the mask. Control is the aim. Freedom doesn’t come with a barcode. It comes with trust, solidarity, and a country that believes in its people.

What exactly makes the BBC help Reform so much?

Aiming to end genocide in Gaza - or keep some rights to protest and freedom speech here in UK? Either way, September 6th is when the next Lift the Ban action will take place in London. Brave sitters and supporters welcome

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns. They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings. That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

“Today, again, distressed citizens will peacefully and reluctantly waste police time; because wasting police time is the official policy of the UK government.” Robert del Naja, Massive Attack So many came to Defend our Juries protest supporting Palestine Action - only a fraction could be arrested

Metropolitan police are arresting the doctors and nurses first among the brave sitters in London, defending freedom to protest and opposing genocide

It takes courage to be in London today supporting Palestine Action and the campaign to de-proscribe it. Prison cells have been emptied to cope with an influx of principled folk - all ages, all taking huge risks with their personal freedom, so we can continue to have freedom of expression in the UK

Defend our Juries is back up as defendourjuries.net

defendourjuries.net They're back up on the internet

Quite

Horrendous action to shut down freedom of speech. Are we already a fascist state? It's supposed to be legal to campaign to de-proscribe Palestine Action

Fantastic news. One step closer to freedom of speech

That was then. Now under a Labour government it's being proscribed as terrorists

Disinformation behind proscription of non-violent protest group

I was one of those arrested in Cardiff, now under punitive bail conditions for sitting silently with a sign about genocide and Palestine BREAKING: UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk speaks out against Palestine Action ban as violation of international law www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Good people, upholding the law and people's rights

'not even remotely ' - till 2025

.. and only where serious violence to individuals. What have we come to?

They promised it wouldn't apply to property damage

WHO ARE ELBIT SYSTEMS? and why would the Filton 18 take action against them? The Filton 18 protestors allegedly targeted weapon shipments to be used by Israel in their assaults on Gaza. 1/5

Very disturbed by government treating non-violent protest as terrorism

Devastatingly true

When I wonder if there's any point ..

Calling it what it is

Yes, where are the world's media?

Last night I was privileged to watch David Attenborough's new film, Ocean, in the warm company of the people of Arran and COAST, Arran's seabed community heroes. Inspired and inspiring, let's all do what we can to push for 30% protection of the world's oceans.

Completely brilliant demolition of 'grammar' tests for 10-11 year olds. These are actually designed to test teachers' ability to teach - by causing children distress

📝 Yesterday, UK union leaders delivered Keir Starmer an urgent letter at 10 Downing Street. 📣 “The Climate and Nature Bill would protect and safeguard nature—while creating 1000’s of jobs, bringing social and economic justice to communities across the county.” 🐝 zerohour.uk #CANBill

I've sailed with Colin, a dedicated man who knows everything there is to know about these waters

Many of the prisoners had been held in cells on remand since July 2024, despite not taking action or causing any disruption at Heathrow Airport as accused. They will now be released. Some of the defendants are to pay £2,000 court costs for a trial which lasted 7 weeks. 2/3

We so do not need this. The worst carbon emissions from flying come from the 1% - we must discourage them in every way possible

Expanding airports while claiming to cut emissions shows you how disconnected climate targets are from actual decisions.

This needs to be seen widely

Even better, plant an edible hedge! Blackberry, elderflower, sloe, cherry plum, hazel nuts ... Food for us, food for wildlife

Yes, I've been increasingly puzzled and uncomfortable by media and public fetishization of WW2 and its ending. As if we don't have enough on our plate to deal with in the present ... but prefer to wallow in past glory

This is the horrific way we carelessly destroy the young of other species. Please can we learn to do our utmost to avoid single use plastic

Swift bricks are 100% good for swifts and people. Even builders. Maybe not so much for insects

Remember this one. In five years, or ten, or twenty. When we're a weird, dirty, backward nation that still sets fire to stuff, and places like China and India start to ask us why.
