More needs to be known about that tendentious hypocrite.
Still no detail about her parentage, background, education, affiliations, work history (if any) outside pro-invasion “activism” etc.
She will have no future in a social-national UK.
I think that, on some level, the System wants a limited uprising, which can then be suppressed but also used to bring in yet more anti-free-speech, anti-protest measures. It may backfire, though, and then trigger a national revolution, the way things are going…

Translates to: Reform about 360 MPs and a comfortable Commons majority, Labour 113, LibDems 59, Cons 54 [etc].
One thought: is a fifth of the electorate really intending to vote “Conservative”? Seems very doubtful to me.
What the Israeli Jews (with help and money from Jews across the world) have done to Palestine generally, not just Gaza, over the past 77+ years, is not only appalling, but is a warning to non-Jews in the rest of the world.
In the well-known phrase, “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance“…
[“The Hebrew newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” reports from a foreign report: Data from Pentagon documents clarify the American difficulty in replenishing the stockpile. During the “12-day war,” the United States used more than 100 THAAD missiles – that is a quarter of the system’s operational stock. However, the production pace does not keep up with the required support for “Israel”: last year, only 11 THAAD missiles were produced, and this year only 12 are expected to be produced. According to American experts, this is a very rare resource and constitutes a critical part of the American deterrence system even against other adversaries like China.”]
Israel is doomed.

Long-term and regular readers of the blog will know that I have blogged a few times about the month I spent at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1998 (part of three straight months I spent in Egypt that year). Siwa had slave caravans coming through from Central Africa to the Nile and Nile Delta right up until the 1940s, I think the late 1940s.

One of several unusual features about Siwa is that, at least until the late 20thC, men were not allowed to marry until aged 40, but girls were always married by their early teens. I was told that the girls now finish their schooling first (whether that means 16 or 18, probably 16).

Very different to the Moscow(s) that I saw in 1993 and 2007. Almost disorienting.

“Both men had their sentences suspended after Judge Vanessa Baraitser considered the bursting prison population and an assessment by the Probation Service that found both defendants were unlikely to reoffend if they took up the opportunity to do self-help workshops. Both must pay compensation to their victims and attend rehabilitation days instead.
Williams-Gillett reached through the window and took his car keys. When his pregnant partner asked for the keys back, Williams-Gillett tried to punch her. By now the dad 50, had come back down the stairs and tried to pull Williams-Gillett away from the partner, triggering a brutal assault.
“Your response to that was to launch a violent attack on him. To stab him repeatedly to his face, so hard the keys were bent out of shape from the impact,” said Judge Baraitser.
Unable to start the car, the man phoned his cousin for help, while Williams-Gillett’s brother Fabian Bennett also arrived carrying a metal baseball bat. Bennett immediately set to work on the dad with the baseball bat, hitting his legs, ribs, and body. Williams-Gillett also joined in the beating, kicking the dad and using the baseball bat.
Bennett then turned to the pregnant woman, grabbed her by the throat, and bent her backwards over a fence while goading her partner ‘using her as bait’. When the cousin arrived in his Citroen, the man and his partner got in the car while Williams-Gillett used the bat to smash the windows, including where a child was sitting.
The cousin was punched in the face, but the first male victim managed to drive everyone away leaving his Hyundai behind. When he came back to get the car, the doors had been broken and his partner’s purse containing £350 in cash and her Monzo card was stolen.
Williams-Gillett was sentenced to 18 months suspended for 20 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must also pay £1,700 in compensation. Bennett got 12 months suspended for 18 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must pay £500 compensation.”

Plainly inadequate.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I am very much not a “hanger and flogger”, but that sentence for those crimes makes a mockery of “law and order” or “a society under law”.

The Hebrew caption reads: “Anyone who throws a water bottle can also throw a grenade. Mobilize everyone.” That refers to the exemption of the “black hat” Jews from military service in Israel/Occupied Palestine. Those “black hats” are a cowardly bunch, though. Look at how that young woman is able to chase one who threw water at her, and kick another in the rear!
As repeatedly predicted on the blog…
