Public opinion is definitely skewing more towards Palestine, at least here in Britain. Where I live, I genuinely saw a pro-Palestine march back in October attended by thousands, along with Palestinian flags waved everywhere around town. Haven’t seen any Israeli flags or marchers by comparison, and I don’t think that’s out of fear.
The only people I’ve seen genuinely throw support towards Israel have been Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.
Norway has absolute Chadwicks in the form of Finland and. Sweden as buffers.
Finland has experience in kicking Soviet ass.
That’s kinda accurate actually.
One of the biggest problems with Britain is that everything is centralized around London while other cities and towns are an afterthought to the government.
London is the only city with an underground railway network. It is also one of only three cities (Newcastle and Glasgow being the others) with any kind of metro transit network. Public transport outside of these three cities is heavily overpriced and monopolized at a local level by a handful of big bus operators, i e. First, Stagecoach, Arriva, Go Ahead.
Another massive problem is that we simply aren’t building new homes because doing so would harm landlord profits. Londoners are moving further out because London is so overpriced.
Things are so bad here that Bristol (the city I live in) is now the second-most expensive city to live in behind the capital. Before that, the idea of us overtaking SE England or even Bath was unthinkable.
At what point does this go from being a counter terrorist operation to a genocide?
As much as I loathe the civil disobedience tactics of movements like Just Stop Oil, Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion; I feel like attacking our freedom to protest like this is going to backfire.
This may push such groups into radicalism because “we’re going to prison anyway, may as well go all the way.”
