The UK Govt. has been violent and brutal in suppressing any and all Pro - Palestinian protest.

In the service of Israel.

Perhaps, as the global economy comes apart, the EU self destructs and Britain can't grow enough food to feed their own population, they might start to understand that Israel is not a friend of the UK.

It is quite alarming what is going on, especially with this week's ruling and Germany's recent draft leglistlation. The EU is its own worse enemy as the people are not buying the propaganda.

Yes, if your referring to draft as in Military Service, I read recently that men under 45 need approval to leave the country for longer than 3 months. That's batshit crazy in a country that's not under attack and as far as I can see, not even under threat.

Aside from Amerika blowing up Nord Stream and cutting off Germany's gas supply.

I know. And what is just as worrying is the heavy propagandising taking place in Germany where reasonable people are being led to beleive that Russia is ready to attack. And as you point out, those of us in the EU have paid for this blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline with little to no protests about those responsible. Germany is in free-fall collapse in its industrial sectors while on the end of two decades of massive immigration from countries the west has destabilised. And this doesn't even approach the rise in xenophobia across the country.

I'm in Australia, the country that gave you Rupert Murdoch (sorry'bout that) so I know propaganda and you might have heard about our policies on "Illegal Maritime Arrivals". Lock them up for years on some tropical hell hole. This from a country the was a principal author of the UN Convention on Refugees.

The numbers escaping climate catastrophe are problem enough, without bombing the shit out of half the world to add to chaos.
