“BBC CENSORED FILM ON BRITISH ARMY KILLING CHILD” by Anne Cadwalladr in Declassified UK @uk_politics @Declassified_UK@mastodonapp.uk @DeclassifiedUK@independent-media.co.uk @BBC5Live@social.bbc @BBCRadio4@social.bbc @BBCNews@flipboard.com “The very highest levels of the British government secretly exerted pressure on the BBC to censor a film about the army killing an unarmed child in 1972. Official documents, recently discovered by the Pat Finucane Centre, also show the British Army was aware, shortly after the killing in Derry, that the boy had been killed at ‘point blank’ range by an immensely powerful machine-gun. However the Ministry of Defence falsely informed an inquest into his death that he was shot from 25 meters away by a soldier who thought the boy was armed” https://www.declassifieduk.org/bbc-censored-film-on-british-army-killing-child/ #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Britain #NorthernIreland #Troubles #Killing #Child #Finucane #Documents #Army #BritishArmy #Motorman #BBC #Panorama #Censorship #Derry

Let’s not mess about. Andy Burnham has been Prime Minister for two weeks and already the man who promised real change and a break with the past, has filled his top team with so many Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) veterans, pro-Israel donors, and establishment re-treads you’d be forgiven for thinking Starmer never actually left” https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026/08/02/burnham-opinion-rachael-swindon/ #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #UK #Britain #Labour #Burnham #Cabinet #LabourFriendsOfIsrael #LFI #IsraelLobby #Donors #Israel #PalestinianGenocide #Austerity #WFA #TwoChildBenefitCap #ChildPoverty #Gaza #Genocide #Israel #Zionism #Complicity #Authoritarian #Hypocrisy #Lies #NHS #LabourVoteRigging #LabourCorruption #LabourFriendsOfBigBusiness #LabourFriendsOfGenocide

Can anyone from #Britain #UK please explain to me why every single beverage needs to have artificial sweeteners in it? I mean, I understand the impulse with sodas. I'd still rather have a real-sugar soda & just have them less frequently as a way of cutting down sugar, but I can understand that there's a "we need to find a way to get kids eating less sugar" issue, and kids don't have the impulse control and foresight to choose other things. But WHY in juice? Instant coffee? Lemon water?!?

“Leaked: How Britain exploits US Empire” by Kit Klarenberg in Al Mayadeen English @uk_politics “Highly revealing leaked files amply spell out how the alliance is a key mechanism by which Washington’s ‘interest’ in Europe and West Asia is insidiously maintained, via London’s covert and overt machinations. NATO provides an invaluable ‘umbrella’, by which Britain projects economic, intelligence, military, and political power throughout these regions and the wider world, while countering competitors” https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/leaked--how-britain-exploits-us-empire #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Britain #NATO #US #Leaks #Ukraine #Iran #Empire #OperationEpsteinFury #OperationEpicMistake #RegimeChange #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #GCHQ #FiveEyes #Syria #Russia #Putin

"Met Police re-opens war crimes case on Britons fighting for Israel Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into UK nationals who fought in Gaza. The Metropolitan Police Service has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into UK nationals who fought for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed. The 240-page referral was first submitted by the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) in August 2025. It alleged that ten UK nationals – including dual citizens – had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Gaza. Allegations against those soldiers included international crimes such as “wilful killing, extermination, attacking civilians, and deportation or forcible transfer of population”." https://www.declassifieduk.org/met-police-re-opens-war-crimes-case-on-britons-fighting-for-israel/ #gaza #genocide #britain #uk

“Britain’s new, unelected Zionist prime minister authorises the use of British bases in the United States’ illegal war on Iran” by Deaglan O’Mulrooney in the spectacle on Substack @uk_politics @UKLabour@mastodon.cloud @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com “On his first full day as Prime Minister, Burnham quietly approved the continued use of British military bases by the United States for military operations against Iran. Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. That is, British soil, British bases and British complicity once again handed over to a war machine that has, in the course of this conflict alone: bombed a girls’ school and killed hundreds of children and just last week struck a hospital for children with cancer” https://open.substack.com/pub/thespectaclemag/p/britains-new-unelected-zionist-prime #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #UK #Britain #Burnham #Labour #Iran #War #US #Trump #Fairford #DiegoGarcia #VassalState #WarCrimes #Imperialism #Complicity #Genocide #PalestinianGenocide #Mahmood #Authoritarianism #AbuseOfPower

Q: Does “evil genius” Palantir’s NHS software actually work? A: Apparently it’s “absolutely rubbish” "’It's just a waste of time’: inside Palantir's £330m NHS failure” by Peter Geoghegan and Lucas Amin in Democracy For Sale on Substack @uk_politics @UKLabour@mastodon.cloud @palantirwatch@kolektiva.social “Palantir has been dubbed the world’s scariest company. Trump’s favourite tech firm provides surveillance software to ICE, the Pentagon and the Israeli ministry of defence. Peter Thiel and Alex Karp talk excitedly of AI drone-driven warfare. No wonder Andy Burnham is already facing calls to end Palantir’s controversial £330m contract to build the NHS’s Federated Data Platform (#FDP)” https://open.substack.com/pub/democracyforsale/p/its-just-a-waste-of-time-inside-palantir-nhs-peter-mandelson #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #UK #Britain #Palantir #NHS #MoD #Military #ICE #IOF #PalestinianGenocide #Gaza #Surveillance #Theil #Karp #Mandelson #Epstein #GlobalCounsel #DataSovereignty #Moseley
