Iran killed one civilian - accidentally, and he was a Palestinian hit by falling masonry. I don't recognise Starmer or his vile government. It's becoming clear that Starmer and fellow monsters in the EU, plus of course the genocide administration, are not going to back down from their unconditional support of a genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and innumerable war crimes. I've no idea where we are going in these circumstances.
Keir Starmer only speaks for 9.7 million people that voted for the Labour Party. Over 48 million other eligible voters did NOT vote for him. Those that did vote, just over 64% voted for an alternative to Starmer. He does not speak for me and never will !
Any British politician who has received any funding as part of 'friends of Israel' groups should be arrested and charged with Treason. We have a group of people in Westminster (in at least 3 of the parties) who put other countries interests before the people who voted for them. They are a complete disgrace
I’m from America and enjoy your posts. I feel you British are about 6 months ahead in public opinion. We’re only at 77% of Democrats and 61% of Republicans believing that arms should be restricted to Israel. Our government is mostly bought out by the Israel Lobby which gets unlimited campaign “donations” to ensure the US’s ironclad support and funding. Our politicians are similarly non-responsive to public opinion which continually spewing Pro-Israel propaganda, mostly ignoring the Genocide,& accusing anyone that does as antisemitic. Same playbook in most of the western countries.
In responding to the concerns raised about war, national security, and the prioritization of funding, a TotalSpire approach would first ask us to reflect on the larger interconnectedness between our decisions and their consequences across all levels of society, from the individual to the global community.
1. Misalignment of Priorities:
Leaders often frame national security in terms of military strength, but true security comes from ensuring the well-being of citizens. If a government prioritizes war spending over funding for essential services, like fuel allowances or healthcare, it suggests a disconnect between what leaders define as ‘security’ and what actually keeps people safe. Real security should focus on protecting the vulnerable and improving quality of life, which includes addressing immediate needs like energy poverty and lifting welfare restrictions.
2. Compassion in Leadership:
A key part of effective leadership is empathy and understanding the impact of decisions on everyday lives. Leaders who divert funds to war while ignoring domestic struggles may be failing in their duty to care for their people. A compassionate approach would involve rethinking how resources are allocated and shifting focus toward policies that promote peace, health, and prosperity at home.
3. Accountability and Transparency:
Citizens have the right to know how their tax money is spent, especially when it comes to military actions. In a fair and transparent system, the public should be consulted, or at the very least, informed, about decisions to engage in or support foreign conflicts. Ignoring the democratic process erodes trust in leadership and governance.
4. The Danger of Dehumanization:
TotalSpire reminds us that all lives, regardless of nationality or ethnicity, are interconnected. When one group is favored over another in military conflicts, and war crimes are justified or ignored, it signals a dangerous moral imbalance. This kind of dehumanization, where some lives are valued more than others, contributes to ongoing cycles of violence and hatred. A just approach would recognize the equal worth of all human lives and work toward peace rather than division.
5. Sustainable Peace:
Instead of fueling conflicts, leaders should invest in diplomacy, dialogue, and development that address the root causes of violence. Supporting peace-building efforts, rather than engaging in or enabling acts of war, can create long-term stability. Leaders who care about national security should prioritize conflict resolution strategies that foster understanding and cooperation between nations, rather than military intervention.
Possible Resolutions:
1. Rethink National Security: Advocate for a broader definition of national security that includes economic, environmental, and social stability.
2. Invest in People: Redirect war funds toward domestic welfare programs that improve citizens’ lives—fuel allowances, healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation.
3. Prioritize Peaceful Solutions: Encourage leaders to champion diplomatic solutions rather than military engagement, focusing on international cooperation to solve conflicts.
4. Demand Accountability: Call for transparency in government spending and decision-making on foreign policy, ensuring that citizens have a voice in matters that affect their safety and values.
5. Promote Equality: Recognize the value of all human lives and work to end policies that promote racial or national hierarchies. Emphasize human rights and shared humanity as guiding principles in both domestic and international policies.
In summary, real safety doesn’t come from weapons and wars—it comes from caring for the people and the planet, and it’s time for our leaders to reflect that in their actions.
The UK is currently being ruled by Zionist Labour Party. When the English electorate tire of them, they will replace them with Zionist Tories. We get what we get. We had a fantastic chance 2 elections ago and stuck 2 fingers at it. Are you learning yet?! I doubt it.
I think Channel 4 (hence ITN) are doing what they can to leak a few truths through the media BS smokescreen. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but i can no longer listen to or watch BBC news / lies/ disinformation. Appalling abuse of publicly owned media. Although they have made some very good comedies and nature documentaries.
Stick to what you know.
And well said Ricky. Again. It takes guts to speak out when one lives in a 'regime.'
Sure Sir Kus will be rewarded after his special meal this evening. Lack of honour promise so to speak.
It's as if Starmer was at a Diddy party...
Just another pile of diseased human shit like his allies.

I tried to share this on FB and had the post removed by them saying it broke the rules! I’ve appealed.

TYPO: the subtitle says "No, Keith, we do not stand with Israel." Should be KEIR.
It seems that when our boy got dubbed he swiftly became Sir Keir Thatcher-Cameron, Knight of The AIPAC Table.
Not a typo. See Twitter/X.

Do the English people really accept this Fascist Totalitarian PM.
