Relieved to see UK and Canada voting for the resolution.
America (and Israel) vs the World (pretty much).

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: themarginalian.org/2019/06/1…

"We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering... They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred".

Prince William, in his crusade against homelessness, is evicting a bunch of tenants and making them homeless. #AbolishTheMonarchy
“To many people it feels as if he cares more about the urban poor than the rural poor. It’s hypocrisy” - my story for @ObserverUK about the Duchy of Cornwall tenants facing eviction by the Prince of Wales in Devon

The Royal Racket.
The Duchy of Cornwall collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House.
Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR.
When King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall, he paid rent to himself.

Canada has opposed the U.S. embargo on Cuba for decades. But its recent abstention at the UN raises serious concerns about whether we're bowing to pressure from Trump.
Canada must stand firm.
Tell the government to vote to end the embargo.

The referendum was a political stunt by a desperate and dishonest premier.
She should resign. Immediately.

At 9:15am today, Wales will fall silent to remember those who were taken from us in the Aberfan disaster.

The UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside.
The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence.
Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up.
