Oh, for f***’s sake, when is this nonsense going to stop?
People were promised a stronger, richer Britain. Brexit delivered economic damage, broken promises and endless excuses.
The real betrayal was selling a fantasy and calling the consequences freedom.

Niemieccy sadyści walą go kolbami karabinów, bykowcami i pałkami, zdzierają z niego sutannę, plują na niego, biją po twarzy, głodzą, a w końcu rozszarpują ciało kulami, bo bohatersko bronił polskości.
Wróg nr 1 dla III Rzeszy.
To nie był zwykły ksiądz, lecz rasowy strateg, manager struktur społecznych i twardy lider operacyjny.
W warunkach brutalnej germanizacji stworzył sprawnie działające imperium polskiej instytucjonalności, a w kluczowym momencie chwycił za broń.
Organizował Powstanie Wielkopolskie w Zdunach, przyczyniając się do odzyskania tego miasta dla Polski.
Wybitny działacz narodowy zaborów i międzywojnia.
Jego rozstrzelane ciało Niemcy oblali benzyną i spalili na stosie.

Governments around the world should respond to the horrific scenes from flood-hit Gaza with a clear and co-ordinated message to Israel: we will impose sanctions on everyone responsible for blocking humanitarian aid from getting in.

❗️Kaja Kallas: the problem is that Russia does not abide by the agreements it signs. A European security architecture already exists — at least 30 international agreements (several of them concerning Ukraine) in which Russia committed to respect sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the Budapest Memorandum. The focus should be on ensuring Russia fulfills its existing commitments rather than creating a new model.

Israel 🇮🇱 wants the weather to kill Palestinians in Gaza 🇵🇸:
•Over 70k tents flooded with rain & sewage
•Shortage of over 121k tents
•The Rafah border blocked by 🇮🇱
•Shortfall of over 70% in needed aid
It’s not a ‘ceasefire’
It’s still genocide
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

10 years on from that bloody Brexit vote, and a senior Reform leader thinks we can go and do our own trade deals with EU countries! 🤯🤯🤯
We can't.
We never could.
Trade with any of them = a deal with all 27

🎉 @chriswardmp said it was now time to give a “a dignified retirement” to Brexit red lines, which rule out rejoining the EU, the single market, the customs union and restoring freedom of movement.
He’s right! We need to abandon the red lines bc we can no longer rely on the Americans‼️

Well done Yorkshire Post for featuring on its front page what London newspapers owned by tax avoidance exiles keep quiet about. Rejoining EU is a popular option.

Gaza. Now.
I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

9 November 2013 | A Slovak Jewish #Auschwitz survivor Filip Müller passed away.
He was born in 1922.
Deported to in April 1942
No. 29236.
One of the members of the #Sonderkommando - prisoners, mainly Jews, who were forced by the Germans to work at gas chambers and crematoria of the camp.
In the Sonderkommando, Müller decided to end his life by joining a group of people sentenced to death from the Theresienstadt family camp (sector BIIb at Auschwitz II-Birkenau). While awaiting his fate, a girl who recognized him came up to him, stating:
'We understand that you have chosen to die with us of your own free will, and we have come to tell you that we think your decision is pointless: for it helps no one [...] We must die, but you still have a chance to save your life. You have to return to the camp and tell everybody about our last hours. You have to explain to them that they must free themselves from any illusions. They ought to fight, that's better than dying here helplessly. It'll be easier for them, since they have no children. As for you, perhaps you'll survive this terrible tragedy and then you must tell everybody what happened to you.'
Müller came to believe that he had a duty to try staying alive.
In January 1945 he was transferred out from Auschwitz during in one of the death marches. He was liberated in one of Mauthausen subcamps.
After the war he became a witness in several trials of the perpetrators of crimes.
