Incredible.

Conservatives trounced in the local elections, but the bbc flagship politicial programme lead “interview” is an unchallenged rant from the delusional, divisive, twice-sacked, right wing crank, Suella Braverman.

Why was she platformed?

It’s hard to shake the sense that the Tory Govt are full of depraved, sexually deviant, coke snorting, adulterating, porn watching, embezzlers who don’t do any work, rarely turn up to parliament and generally are just Living it Large on the public purse.

203+ aid workers
95+ journalists
176-450+ healthcare workers
33,000+ civilians

Gideon Levy: 'Almost 100 journalists have been killed. So many medical teams... why do you think [killing the aid workers] is an exception.. there is no difference between 2wks of bombarding Shifa hospital & this.. and when Shifa was bombed for 2wks most of the world kept silent'

It’s fucking insane that after murdering 196 Arab aid workers without apology, Israel apologises for murdering seven White aid workers and promises it was an accident—and people are actually considering this is genuine?

WAKE THE FUCK UP

Man City defence has just been described as 'depleted' on Sky.

It cost £180m, combined.

failed PSR and got a points deduction for spending ½ of that on an entire squad.

If that's not a sign that football is broken, I don't know what is.
