What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

But we will not be silenced.

Do not allow the USA to use British military bases for strikes on Iran, and give MPs a vote in Parliament. I just signed the campaign calling to tell Prime Minister Keir Starmer: do not allow the USA to use British military bases for strikes on Iran

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?

Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.

The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

I reckon all those US bombs have got use-by dates on them.
They paid a lot of money to make them so they're going to find an excuse to use them!

Of all the nations championing FPTP and mass murder and support for genocide these are the main backward nations still clinging to the outdated barbaric FPTP electoral system as their main system:
- USA
- Russia
- Belarus
- UK

What a wonderful group of barbarians.

Within 10 years China will move from one of the highest producers of co2 to one of the lowest because it builds Renewable Energy because it isn't owned by the Fossil Fuel billionaires.

While in the West almost nothing will change because we are.

I'm convinced the creation of school league tables doesn't help. In the past you'd just send your kid to the nearest school but the moment you start ranking them and it turns out your local school is lower than one two miles away then parents will obviously want to send little Johnny there instead.

Because they were conditioned to believe in British exceptionalism and the Great Second Elizabethan Fantasy, that Johnny Foreigner was to be viewed with suspicion rather than a peer with whom to cooperate and because they never took the time to understand what the EU did and why it matters

Quite the look.
Ask people for their views, then rubbish them as you don't agree.
Imagine the outrage if the BBC anchor did this.
