  • Before that, on 17 May 2011, the Israeli foreign ministry released a statement saying that “lawyers in the UK have formed a new group called UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).” It since appears to have been removed from the ministry’s website. Turner told MEE: “We are an independent organisation and are not linked to the Israeli government.” Of the 2012 seminar, he said: “It was an excellent seminar, with distinguished speakers and very informative.”… UKLFI earlier this month wrote to the British government threatening legal action unless it reverses its decision to suspend 30 out of 350 arms licences to Israel. Jonathan Turner, who is still the CEO of UKLFI, publicly called the Labour government’s move a “political decision to appease members of the public who hate Israel based on misinformation and biased media coverage of the war. As such, it was a misuse of the power granted by the legislation”.

    Lol. “Antisemites!”


  • It does when you follow US capitalist policy. Unlike many places in the Europe, we (the USA) never suffered the direct horrors of war, in the homeland, so many places in Europe developed robust public safety and health policies. It grieves me deeply to see that people are forgetting what true national wealth and treasure is, and are allowing it to be eroded, to appease the US. Imo, rather than bowing to horrible US policy in the face of pressure, the whole world, including us, would be better for Europe standing up to us and pressuring us into better policy. I’m not casting blame, we are humans and capitalists are capitalists. I just see a better world, in my dreams.


  • How about chicken? Did you manage to avoid chlorination?

    For tea, the maximum residue level (MRL) was increased by 4,000 times for both the insecticide chlorantraniliprole and the fungicide boscalid. For the controversial weedkiller glyphosate, classed as a “probable human carcinogen” by the World Health Organization (WHO), the MRL for beans was raised by 7.5 times…Strikingly, the UK chose to adopt the Codex MRLs only where they offered lower protection to consumers. Where the Codex standard was stricter, the HSE decided to retain the weaker British MRL.

    Holy mother of God!






  • I replied with thanks, for your kindness, but fat -finger deleted it, when I went to edit, so again, thanks so much, for your kindness!

    But we didn’t follow through with programming or sufficient resources to deal with the core issues that people face."

    Well, it was a step, but the other foot has to follow. It’s “housing first,” not “housing fixes everything, done.” We have to stop running societies like businesses for short gain, while running it into the ground and outsourcing the issues to third parties, like prison -for-profit via chattel slavery, before the few percent have us all being chattel slaves.
