BORIS RESIGNING AS PRIME MINISTER!!
There was a shooting in the UK last night, the first once for a pretty long time - five people were shot dead, including a five year old girl, before the shooter turned the gun on himself.
The BBC is trying so hard to turn this into a discussion about the shooter's mental health. I already knew the BBC was a shit show but this genuinely disgusts me. The shooter was a white man in his early 20s and a self identified incel. If the shooter was a person of colour, no one would be making excuses for them and you can guarantee this would be called an act of terrorism, but because the shooter is white, every news outlet is acting as if he's some poor victim who shouldn't be held accountable for his actions.
He murdered innocent people. He murdered a child.
The white privilege and bias in the media isn't surprising, but it's still absolutely disgusting. Fuck the BBC and every other news site for trying to make people pity a literal murderer. Even if he did have mental health issues, that isn't a fucking excuse to kill people. Stop shielding him from his actions just because he's white.
Fuck the daily mail but considering they are the most Tory/loyalist newspaper ever this is an incredible headline.
Be interesting to know if leadership circles are forming.
Note how the outrage about Sarah Everard was all deemed legitimate in the beginning, when the conversation was all about women being able to go out late and men holding men accountable, etc. These discussions are relevant, but they don't change the status quo.
The second the discussion started to involve criticism of the police, as soon as it became clear that this was not just a concern of white liberals, then suddenly the police behaviour at the vigil was deemed totally appropriate and much of the media lost their appetite to talk about it.
Under international law, Israel is 100% obligated to vaccinate all the Palestinians living under its occupation, yet they have refused to provide Palestinians with vaccines since they started their vaccination campaign 6 months ago, despite the fact that 85% of Israel’s population are fully vaccinated (the highest percentage in the world) and despite the fact that Israel has been sending millions of vaccines to foreign countries in exchange for them moving their embassy to occupied Jerusalem instead of giving those vaccines to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
Two days ago Israel has, oh so generously, decided to share some of the millions of vaccines that they have been hogging with the Palestinian non-Authority, but there’s just one small problem: all the vaccines that Israel has “donated” are either expired or near-expired and they were only given to Palestinians in exchange for them to give Israel a brand new vaccine shipment that’s supposed to be shipped to Palestinians this September directly from Pfizer as a form of charity, even though again, Israel is 100% obligated to vaccinate all the Palestinians without anything in return from them.
Gaza of course is left out of this deal, even though Israel bombed the ONLY COVID-19 facility in Gaza and their Ministry of Health just last month. Please keep that in mind when the media attempt to save Israel’s image by reporting on how they wanted to help out by donating vaccines, but it was the evil™ Palestinians who “refused” their generous offer.
