I think the British empire is well and truly dead but maybe still alive in the more right wing and moron class. But I think this is more to do with Shitreal bribing the political class

The DC shootings are providing a stark reminder of who/what gets sympathy or apathy.

Tiny coverage on Gaza deaths in 24hrs, starvation, the use of food aid to evacuate the North, shootings in the West Bank to intimidate international observers, etc.

BROAD minute by minute analysis of the young couple shot… “prime of their lives”, glowing biographies, and were someone to initiate a drinking game in which you had to imbibe every time the term “antisemitism” was uttered, one would be dead from alcohol poisoning within half an hour.

Shooting meets the definition of political terrorism, though I feel has little to do with actual antisemitism.

Israel’s goal has always been to eliminate any daylight in between Judaism and Zionism. This is the product of that approach.

Absurd that charges are being processed against Liam. Puppet Starmer is trying to become more Farage, more authoritarian lickass under the guise of trade deals that aren’t.

Possibly he’s brought on Bondi as an adviser.

If she can’t Terrorwash it, nobody can.

Thanks again. Best

They will pay, Paul! Politically, they will pay. Things can and do change, history happens. Labour is done for. The next elections are coming and there will be some surprises all around.

Labour probably is done but, unfortunately, that doesn't mean Starmer and cronies lost. Starmer's actions indicate that the plan all along was to ensure a real left-wing party could never form government and a real left-wing leader would never again lead a major party. Mission accomplished. The fact that the fascist Reform Party or a revitalized fascist Conservative Party will take power at the next election is OK with the Fnow fascist Labour Party.

Good piece, Deaglan.

This may well come back to bite the ghouls behind the UK state in the arse - and then some.

Doing this to Liam stirs up a whole hornet's nest in historical context.

The UK state is increasingly desperate as it spins in a vortex of deeply layered historical shite, flailing about as it tries to save itself. I hope the repugnant filth of entitlement and privilege that use the UK State as a trough get the payback they deserve for all the evil they do around the world and to their own citizens.

Thanks for reading, Anthony. You're right the UK is in for a world of shite. Scotland won't be long in the Union I imagine. Hopefully that begins a chain reaction.

All grist to the mill to bring down to the ghouls who've taken over Western governments and are now flailing about with their violence and filth around the globe and to their own people.

Their music is really good 🎵

They also have an “origin story” movie that's really entertaining

On a cheery note, George Galloway asked the following in a poll: who should be charged with terrorism offences; Kier Starmer or Kneecap?

Results so far:

Kneecap 2%

Starmer 98%

It's not just flags. Remember this guy found guilty of wearing a green headband in London?

Everyone that refused to be submitted to the colonizers boring narrative is "terrorist".

One of the triggers for the May 1968 uprising in Paris was the banning of student cinema. The downward pressure on socialism by De Gaul and the church , aided by the media at the time set light to the tinder box of youth anger.

By targeting a popular act like Kneecap and act which is unafraid and unapologetic the british government is merely adding to the tension which with luck will give rise to the rupture this anachronistic , monarchist, genocidal , imperialist country deserves.

Astute analysis, and if we again get similar weather to the last three weeks through July, it will be a long hot and uncomfortable summer for the PSNI.

I know very little about the politics of Ireland. Thanks for covering the connection and the context.

So is he in jail? Asking as one not understanding how this works in The UK or Ireland. In the US being charged with terrorism would probably mean you were in jail, in solitary, and locked down hard for the foreseeable future.

Deaglan O'Mulrooney's avatar

He's been summoned to appear at court in one month to begin the trial, probably will be found guilty (they wouldn't go ahead with this otherwise). Likely a suspended sentence and criminal record of something terrorist related. 'Supporting a terrorist organisation' or something along those grey lines.

Giving the young folks in West Belfast a month to think of a suitable response?🤔

And I speak as someone who grew up as a prod in the East of the city and am much entertained by Kneecap and also their fans' inevitable creativity.😉

At the very least crowds should all be carrying/waving Hezbollah/Palestine flags and wearing keffiyeh scarfs outside of wherever the trial will be held, just a thought.

So venues will be afraid to book them or some might even cancel gigs. Getting into UST (Ununited States of Trump) will be history.

The Fekkers make the rules to silence critics of Israel. That’s how they’ve been able to come so far along with their genocide.

Kneecap needs to GTF out of Northern Ireland and get themselves to the real Ireland 🇮🇪 It boggles the mind that the vile British empire still owns them. 800 years of bending over to British ‘rule’ wasn’t enough? Maybe more shit like this needs to happen to make the change

Can’t help feeling the British treatment of NI is a microcosm - or even parallel - of the Zionist colonial project still very much alive within - and throughout - the UK through, for example, the ‘country sports’ (ie wildlife oppression) activities of the Establishment and their lackies. In other words Zionism is more present in our UK lives than we realise.

So may Kneecap be the fox that barked in the night. And who then could not be silenced. For it speaks for many of us including the chickens 🐓

'a little Jewish Ulster in the Mediterranean ' I believe it was discussed as by Balfour.

Ridiculous. What does terrorist even mean anymore? It’s lost its meaning the way antisemitism has because it’s weaponized!
