If chants at a music festival (whether right or wrong) upset you more than ACTUAL CHILDREN being burnt alive - then that speaks volumes about the person you are.

This video seems to have shocked Zionist supporters and racists across Europe, especially in the UK. It’s truly a powerful video.

"There has been a 41% increase in Jobseeker Support claims for 18-24 year olds over the past two years. The entry level jobs are likely being filled by those newly unemployed – meaning it gets harder and harder to get ‘into’ work for the first time."

It’s strange to see people upset about “hate” expressed toward Israeli military at Glastonbury The IDF holds the world record for creating child amputees; murders people seeking food; and burns patients alive If you don’t feel “hate” then something in you is seriously broken.

Yes look at the Bible - the Commandments say:Thou shall not kill That covers it . There’s no biblical justification This is not just killing, it’s enforced starvation, bombing of tents, sniping and systematic slaughter. This is a #genocide Stop the #GazaGenocide

The IDF have committed every war crime under the sun. Indiscriminate murder of unarmed civilians, including the starving as they search for food. Mass destruction of civilian infrastructure. Kidnapping. Torture. Rape. For some reason this has provoked strong emotions

Sick leave is a vital public health protection to stop infections from spreading through workplaces. It needs structural support so people can afford to be off work; also cultural support, ie, recognition that taking sick leave is good bc it helps recovery & protects co-workers.
This image is a parody of the Bayeux Tapestry, using elements from the tapestry. It shows knights in pieces within a structure with a roof, with comets (meant to be Covid), dogs, and birds as decorative elements. The caption reads "Provyde support for alle persons to staye home when sicke".
