Sonnet 116. Patrick's favourite. Take one minute out of your day to hear the bard's words spoken by someone who lived by them.

European Movement UK is saddened by the passing of Patrick Stewart, a legendary actor and European advocate. Here’s a brilliant sketch he starred in from 2016 defending the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Green's motion has forced Labour, Tories, Lib Dems & Reform into claiming Zionism is NOT racism & that those slaughtered in the name of this racist ideology are NOT victims of racism.
Without ever being asked to explain WHY they judge Zionism NOT to be racism.

"Yorkshire Water CEO Nicola Shaw to step down after four and a half years in charge."
In those 4 and a half years Nicola Shaw was paid over £3 million including £1.3 million which was paid via an offshore company.
Everybody say aww!

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.
He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.
While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Tommy Robinson was seen smiling and laughing as he left court, having just heard the good news that he has been found guilty, which means he can start asking gullible morons to give him money for his appeal, then for his release campaign.

💔💔A father screams in agony beside the lifeless body of his daughter.
This is Chernihiv, Ukraine, where a russian attack killed two 15-year-old girls.
No parent should ever have to experience this horror💔

This is what HATE towards asylum seekers does.
A pensioner - 65yo Mark Neville threw a petrol bomb at a migrant hotel....
Police said Neville was "motivated by hate" and the attack was "designed to terrify residents and the local community"
Let that sink in - A petrol bomb!!!
This is what happens when asylum seekers are dehumanised and turned into targets. When politicians use inflammatory rhetoric about vulnerable people, it has consequences. Lives are being put at risk.
If you think this is acceptable you really need to seek help and check you aren't being radicalised by your algorithm and politicians.

Leaked Israeli documents reveal how Benjamin Netanyahu's government waged a secret campaign to stop boycotts of Israel in Britain.
That included a "sensitive" meeting with Michael Gove -- when he was justice secretary in 2015 -- about countering the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.
Israel’s lobbying campaign was led by its justice minister Ayelet Shaked, who met Gove in London in November 2015.
Shaked, from the far-right Jewish Home party, was alarmed by a European Commission plan to label goods produced on illegally occupied Palestinian land as originating from an “Israeli settlement”.
The issue was consequently high on Shaked’s agenda, with the Israeli government fearing that the labels would help pro-Palestine boycott campaigns.
Gove “enjoyed” meeting Shaked and specifically requested “more information” from the Israeli embassy on the labelling issue, the leaked emails show.
Israel’s foreign ministry then arranged for an analysis to be prepared for Gove “as soon as possible” on the imminent EU measures.
“I am aware of the workload, but there is an unusual window of opportunity here”, noted one Israeli official, apparently referring to Gove’s openness to guidance.

33-year-old Alex Klinner died in Trump’s war back in March. But since, 7 months later, Trump still isn’t calling it a war — his widow and their three small KIDS (7-month-old twins and a 2-year-old son) are being denied basic benefits.
Because those are only available to soldiers who die in WARS — not “excursions.”
I don’t ever want to hear from another Republican that their party “supports our troops.” You send them off to die, then desert them when they do.

Sur les 5 800 prisonniers détenus en Russie pour motifs politiques, condamnés à des peines allant jusqu'à 28 ans de prison, des centaines sont dans des conditions de santé déplorables et leurs vies sont en danger.
Parmi eux, Maria Ponomarenko journaliste condamnée pour avoir dénoncé les bombardements russes sur le théâtre de Marioupol et enfermée depuis janvier 2023.
En détention, elle a fait plusieurs tentatives de suicide et son état psychique est critique. Ses deux enfants mineurs attendent leur mère.
Je suis honorée de l'avoir parrainée dans le cadre du programme de soutien aux prisonniers politiques russes. Nous devons faire tout notre possible pour qu'elle ne soit pas oubliée et qu'un jour elle puisse retrouver la liberté, ses enfants et son foyer.
Liberté pour Maria Ponomarenko !

Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
What's happening here in Palestine is unjust. We've just witnessed what Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many others have called a genocide unfold in Gaza.
We came here to show the world, and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Israeli government didn't allow that.
