Hinckley C, Bradwell B, and I think Sizemore C were the most high profile nuclear projects with big Chinese investment and collaboration, although most also included France’s EDF energy. The projects started in the 2000s but most didn’t start building until the 2010s when the shift away from China happened. I’m sure there’s dozens of articles online, it was fair big ongoing British business / infrastructure news for a number of years.

In some countries the CIA has to send undercover assets to sabotage nuclear power projects. In Germany they just sign them up to be Die Grünen / Linke reps.

We were building nuclear with China in the 2000s but then America told us we had to get (even more) old school racist again.

I’ve been sick for 3 weeks almost. Every week is basically a new set of symptoms. It fucking sucks. It’s completely impossible to get a doctor’s appointment. Even if I was well enough to take them on, my work had had multiple projects delayed because there isn’t enough people to carry them out. And one of the kids’ schools has been closed all week because their isn’t enough staff.

The architects of the Starmer project are yes. It’s a tech capital driven, intelligence service backed transformational project to turn Britain into a techno-fascist vassal based on Israel and Special Economic Zones.

Someone said “Yeah, man” over the radio and all the pilots assumed they said Yemen, freaked out, and instinctively took evasive manoeuvres (into the sea).

Not in the least bit surprised, but my only real knowledge of Ro Khanna comes from reading and writing about the evil that is Silicon Valley.

Bernie Sanders shills for Israel and if Ro Khanna had an issue with fascism he probably wouldn’t be so chummy with the actual successful engine of global fascism Silicon Valley.

“You think you have the stamina for this Tulipman? Try doing the long march in clogs and get back to me”

God bless you and rightfully holding onto that grudge comrade.

I’m just imagining some runner straight out of college being made to unpack a Stinger from a wooden crate.

Not only was that law a rancid bit of obvious strike breaking designed to give make picket lines illegal, but I’m also pretty sure you’d have to have an almost metaphysical reading of it to actually apply here.

From what I remember at the time, the activists repeatedly disrupted the film shoots around London by chanting and making noise, until the sound people would call time on a location or the production beancounters would pull the plug on a location because it was costing too much money to have the whole crew sit around all day waiting for protestors to stop making noise and leave.

Now add in the fact that these shooting locations (the “workplace” that was apparently “restricted”) were public spaces in the heart of a capital city that they activists lived in. Being gifted a shooting permit for public space in London doesn’t entitle you to demand that no noise is made nearby by the people and the city that exist around it.

I’ve worked on shoots in major London train stations and if you’d asked anyone (management, the council, coppers, the public) for everyone to stop making announcements or talking on their phone or doing any one of a thousand other noisy things they would have (rightly) treated you like a crackpot. The production company didn’t abandon these shoots because they couldn’t continue, they did so because it was easier and cheaper to do so and just fucking green screen it like the rest.

This is lawsuit harassment almost certainly directed by the like of UK Lawyers for Israel being used in conjunction with extra-legal policing to criminalise peaceful activists, straight up.

Well, Napoleon’s jewels would be low hanging fruit.

I have little faith of any restitution, but I hope she sues not only the worker but Iceland into oblivion (or at least a truly massive settlement).

Very true. Irony isnt the right word. I’m just really fucking over this song and dance and fucking pissed.

Exactly. It’s bullshit, the people who trot it out every time know it’s bullshit, and the irony is that it actually devalues and demeans Jewish lives. Those were fucking people with lives and loved ones, just like every other victim of random violence, not a fucking trite, bullshit talking point that already gets trotted out for everything from Corbyn going to the ‘wrong’ seder to a comedian being asked to apologise for doing a racist blackface routine. Zionism can’t even stop dehumanising it’s own supposed ‘own’, never mind everyone else. It’s a cancer that eats everything it comes into contact with.

Then fucking leave.

It’s awful, but I don’t remember the kids that got blown up attending an Ariana Grande concert claiming it was because Britain was uniquely hateful towards Ariana Grande fans. Imagine taking an actual terrible act of violence and blaming everyone but the person who actually did it, laid dead on the ground in front of you.

Outside of Israel you literally couldn’t find a more inherently pro-Zionist country (and we all know Zionist is what this person meant), so if that’s not enough for you pack your fucking bags.

Also because they can be made into valuable assets for the intersection of intelligence and finance via the contrast between their public image and their behind closed doors crimes - Prince Andrew being the prime example of the last thirty years or so.

It really is, although I feel like the tide is starting to slowly turn here, especially since Elizabeth II popped her golden clogs.

Us republicans have always been a sizable but definite minority, but basically no one likes Charles, people seem sick of the drama of the various royal children & wives, and Andrew is a constant, flashing fuck you in the face of even royalist sympathisers with the absurdity, openess, and obviousness his heinous crimes and deep stupidity while remaining untouchable.

Even the fact that headlines like this one run in the tabloids semi-frequently is a noticeable change from 10-15 years ago, never mind how it was back in the 80s/90s.

This is true, but from the looks of this one I’d guess it’s a hastily snapped picture from a bystander keeping a decent distance away (the low res zoom, bad framing etc).
