The people of Donbas do not agree with you! They have been shelled by #Ukraine for 8 years! You are not for peace, you are for war! #NoWar#NoWarInUkraine!
Having watched & enjoyed @PaulMcCartney’s set at #Glastonbury on TV last night, after his set I was appalled to see him come back onstage waving an outsized Ukrainian flag, accompanied by that “Butcher’s apron”, the UnionJack. If this isn’t the opposite of all that Glastonbury 1/
stands for, I don’t know what is! #Glastonbury was established in the spirit of hippiedom and the 1960’s counter culture, anti war and anti establishment. The Beatles were once actually a part of this counter culture supporting peace and love! 2/
#Ukraine’s #Zelensky on the other hand, does not seek peace, but continues to demand more and heavier weaponry in the US/NATO proxy war against #Russia. He is the West’s puppet in ensuring the escalation of hostilities to the point of embedding actual Nazis in Ukraine’s army 3/
The volume and intensity of war propaganda emanating out of the mainstream media in support of Ukraine, is comparable to to the unrelenting artillery barrages on the trenches prior to a major offensive. 1/
The effect is to stun the enemy (if it doesn’t kill them first) into a stupor. So many individuals who took a principled stance against #Covid & the governments lies & evasions - repeated & reinforced in the msm 2/
- seem to have lost either the ability or the need to apply the same level of scrutiny & critical thought to the Ukraine crisis. And yet what is required here is a conscious evaluation of the “information” being spewed out, and the manner in which it is spewed. 3/
Solidarity with the second #SchoolStrike2021#October15th! The Tories do nothing but wilful harm and cannot be appealed to. Meanwhile, Labour “leader” Keri Starmer keeps his party on a leash and lets the Tories off the hook. 1/

Then the “traditional” organisations defending workers, the trade unions are also very muted in their response, when they should be at the forefront of defending their members interests- their lives in fact! 2/
No sign of teachers unions supporting this independent strike action. No sound of genuine protestations to make schools and workplaces safe. #SafeEdForAll and other grass root orgs show the way. Build rank & file safety committees and this strike action internationally.
