Don’t know if they’re Brits or not, but Roger Windsor, the chief executive of the NUM was later suspected of being a spy as documents that crossed his desk were regularly passed on to the police and Tim Bell - Margaret Thatcher’s advisor, advertising executive, and supsected removed- who also claimed to have a mole in the TUC. The intelligence services also had either the same or a different informant in Arthur Scargill’s inner circle codenamed Silver Fox.

The likes of Roger Windsor were active within the miner’s movement and the talks over ending the strike and certainly took on helpful roles. But their other purpose was to gather documents, gossip, and intelligence to be used against the miners in negotiations by both the government and intelligence services who were also tapping people’s phones.

A good way to get people to accept something or someone they otherwise wouldn’t is to make it/them useful to people who would otherwise by suspicious of it/them.

“ok first you gotta listen to this 91 hour podcast series about belgium”

That seems like a long way to say he was a nonce. And that comes from the

Who are you and what have you done with @FlakesBongler@hexbear.net !?

It’s the perfect cover because it can be both simultaneously to different audiences, creates controversy and engagement which drives publicity, and sells. Companies have been doing this since the invention of the picture record sleeve.

Nuke Germany.

They do this every 4 years. As do the Labour party here in the UK. It has literally never worked.

BlueAnon, let’s go!

I did yes. It’s been the hottest day of the year here today and I have been day drinking. My phone catches typos but not the rest of my nonsense. Cheers.

You can’t see it on the first kit really in that picture, but that’s a map of Palestine on the sleeve. They also use the shape of the map as '1’s for the numbers on their shirts

Very. I’ve got these two currently:

Club Deportivo Palestino is third division Chilean team from Santiago that was originally made up entirely of refugees from the Nakba (Santiago took more Palestinians than just about any city in the world at the time) and still advocate and fundraise for Palestine. I’ve got several of their excellent shirts.

I used to live near some woodland that smelt like mint for what seemed like miles. It’s too dark for it to grow on the woodland floor beneath the canopy, but every large clearing and the banks of the stream and field in the centre was absolutely covered in it.

From the live news feed:

The model was launched 14 years ago and just six weeks ago the US planemaker lauded the fact the model, also known as the Dreamliner, has reached the milestone of carrying 1 billion passengers. To mark that occasion the company said the global 787 fleet of more than 1,175 airplanes has flown nearly 5 million flights covering more than 30 million flight hours.

I’d like a grand. Could they put on a shitshow more local to me?

Absolute carnage. The plane was barely off the ground before what looks like a total, sudden failure.

The comments pictured really just demonstrate that they don’t understand power dynamics and cannot imagine themselves not in the position of the more dominant superpower.

I’ll take my chances.

How exactly do you type a response like this and not realise you’re a crank? This would be over the top rhetoric as the fascist villain in a terrible B-movie.

The Israeli government is already actively involved in policing operations and court cases against activists here in the UK, despite it being very illegal and a clear conflict. And according to the accounts of some of the activists and journalists who were detained under terror charges in black bag raids, they suspect that members of the anti-terror police who hid their identities and ran their interrogations were likely Israeli, rather than British anti-terror police

SciFi with Damien Walters take or whatever is almost as bad, smuglord whether you think Gilroy is hiding his power to skate under Disney’s radar or not, the tweet is bullshit liberal grandstanding with zero use or deeper understanding.

“Abandon”

In recent years and under Der Sturmer’s government the closest the UK has ever come to recognising a Palestinian state is the cabinet saying that they would acknowledge a two-party state (bingo for outdated bullshit!) but even then ONLY if Israel approved it first. In other words… no reginition, ever, plus just straight up admitting policy is made by Israel.

The UK is starting from the point of being an active and enthisiastic participant in genocide. Not in terms of the shameful political and legal support or interference that would already be a crime. But direct military and financial support. Targeting flights. Intelligence that helps Israel kill journalists and aid workers, some of them British citizens. SAS on the ground. Sheepdipped British forces. We even passed laughably, awfully bullshit arms restrictions and then just lied and broke them anyway. We charge journalists and activists with terror charges, seemingly based on Israel’s direction, and then deny their right to fair trial or (few) rights under British law by sharing their information, case progress, and legally protected details with Israel. And that’s just the shit that’s openly out there, mostly ignored but occassionally acknowledged by mainstream media.

The idea that you can do any of this, never mind all of it, and even pretend to support a Palestinian state is an unhinged fucking lie and everyone telling it in order to distance themselves from the very things they’ve spent almost two years (or far far more) supporting deserves whatever comes their way and should beg for a jury in the Hague as far more than they deserve.
