Video: BBC asks if it’s ‘proportional’ for Israel to kill 5 journalists when it was only targeting 1
SKWAWKBOX
Obscene journalism and more regurgitation of Israel's narrative by 'UK' state broadcaster as smear campaign continues
The BBC asked last night, in a segment on Israel's murder of Gaza journalist Anas al-Sharif and four colleagues, whether it was 'proportional' for Israel for Israel "to kill five journalists when you were only targeting one" - as if targeting one journalist is ok, but killing a few more is questionable:
The report ignored Israel's murder of more than three hundred and fifty journalists in the past twenty-two months, more than in all the wars of the past century - and ignored the fact that Israel routinely murders the families of journalists, medics and others along with their targets. Or, for that matter, that in many Israeli attacks all the victims are civilians, in many cases all children.
The BBC then continued with its regurgitation of Israeli smears against its primary target in the latest murder of journalists, Anas al-Sharif, with only a token hint of doubt that Israel - proven constantly to have lied about its victims and to have faked 'evidence' to smear al-Sharif - might not be telling the truth about this one:
As writer Saul Staniforth noted, "The IDF assassinated him. Now the BBC assassinates his character."

Evening update: Thames Water is in financial freefall, spilling sewage, while Labour refuses nationalisation.
Reform UK calls for action, but Starmer’s party clings to the same failed privatisation model as the Tories.

GB News says it’s a news channel. But we’ve done a deep dive into the channel’s output and found the language it uses distorts reality – especially about migrants.
Look at the words “migrant” or “immigrant”. There are tens of thousands of words that you could put before them. But when you crunch the numbers, more than half the time someone says “migrant” or “immigrant” on GB News the word “illegal” comes first.
In reality, last year irregular arrivals made up less than 10% of people coming to the UK. And there are lots of other examples. What the channel is saying simply doesn’t match up to reality.
When we showed GB News our data, it said we had “understated the importance” of migration to “the British public”. But surely people only care this much about migration because the right-wing press keeps talking about it, over and over, in the most provoking way possible?

Billionaire Elon Musk is trying to get his hands on the UK’s energy market.
His company, Tesla, has just applied for a licence to supply electricity to British households - and Ofgem, the regulator in charge, has to decide whether or not to give him the green light.
We know Musk’s track record: union-busting, cutting corners, and putting profit above safety and people. Not to mention his nasty habit of trying to meddle in our politics - and this new venture could make it easier for him to do more of that. Our energy system should be run in the interest of the public and not as another billionaire’s business venture.
A massive show of public pressure could be the difference between Ofgem approving this plan or stopping it in its tracks. Imagine tens of thousands of us standing together to say: our homes, our bills, and our future should not be handed over to the world’s richest person in his latest attempt to make a few quid.
So, can you add your name to the petition and say no to Musk’s UK energy plans. It will only take a few seconds to sign:

Just settling in for the evening?
Consider this: only 1 in 5 registered voters backed Labour in 2024.
One year later, the cracks are showing — on the economy, housing, and trust.
Is this the weakest mandate in modern UK history?

UK spy-plane was over Gaza as Israel murdered 6 journalists
SKWAWKBOX
Flights are known to be providing intel directly to Israeli military
An outsourced spy plane operating for the UK from the RAF's Akrotiri base in Cyprus was deployed over Gaza just thirty minutes before an Israeli airstrike that murdered six journalists in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The flights were previously operated by RAF-liveried aircraft but are now run for the RAF by a US company as the Starmer regime tries to distance itself from its collaboration in Israel's genocide, but despite claims to the contrary from the UK government, the flights are known to have always provided intel directly to the Israeli military:
This raises the likelihood that the UK provided aerial intelligence to Israel that directly contributed to its murder of the six journalists - an unequivocal war crime. Given the length of time the flights have been operating, there is also a distinct likelihood that the UK collaborated in Israel's triple airstrike that murdered several World Central Kitchen aid workers last year, including three British citizens - an act for which the UK government demanded no restitution or even apology from Israel.

Israel caught faking messages to smear Gaza journalist Anas al-Sharif after murdering him
OH! What a surprise errr nope!

Occupation desperate to justify slaughter of journalists - and helped by UK 'mainstream' media
The Israeli occupation has mounted a major fake news operation to try to smear Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif in an attempt to justify murdering him last night - including the creation of fake messages supposedly on the Telegram messaging platform.
Al-Sharif and four Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues were slaughtered last night when Israel bombed their journalists' tent in the grounds of a Gaza hospital and the occupation immediately began trying to paint al-Sharif, a young father of two and one of the most recognisable journalists of the genocide, as a 'Hamas' operative, including faking the Telegram messages supposedly showing al-Sharif celebrating the 7 October 2023 raid in southern Israel:

At Saturday’s protest in London, 532 people were arrested — many aged 60+ — simply for holding signs supporting Palestine Action.
The UK’s anti-terrorism laws are being used to crack down on political dissent like never before.
