Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has recently said there need to be "clearer laws" on managing pro-iranian protests, such as the annual Al-Quds event. He expresses fear that we face domestic threats from Iran itself.

Agents of the Iranian regime may be amongst the Al-Quds demonstrators, but violent agents of the Shah (supported by our government since 1909) are amongst the so-called freedom protesters against the Ayatollah.

I don't think we, the British public, have as much to fear from Iran as we do from our own government.

Its clear that protests don't really affect change, unless they are part of a wider movement, and we have said before that clamping down on protests is just a way for the state to strengthen itself.

The state, our government, is the same state which allows rent and energy costs to rise and wages to stay low, the same state which supports America's war against Iran. It is the same state the the police are the enforcers for.

Rowley has previously expressed wishes for armed police to operate with less scrutiny, it is ironic that our media tells us Iran is the enemy because they suppress protests with armed police.

We do not want an Islamic Republic in Britain, Iran has no intention of installing one. We support Iran's fight against imperialism in the middle East.
As we are opposed to capitalism, we must oppose imperialism, capitalism's most violent form. As we oppose our government and the effect it has on our lives, we must oppose it's actions abroad.

The Problem Isn't "Kings", The Problem Is US Presidents

Obesity is a problem caused by capitalism through cheap, unhealthy food combined with its promotion of staying indoors, or making it inconvenient to walk when you need to go out. Mounjaro is a capitalist solution to this problem (through Eli Lilly of big pharma)

People can’t afford fish to go with their chips as commercial fisheries tend to overfish one species, raising its price.
Advertisers are paid a lot of money to convince people to eat whatever makes money.

If we had a planned economy, we’d grow enough potatoes. If people didn’t need or want potatoes, farmland would be used to grow other crops. There wouldn’t be private companies such as McCains dictating how many spuds we need.
Healthy eating isn’t this farmers problem, capitalism is.

Don’t be fooled by this catchy phrase; the earth is not flat and there is no ‘Epstein class’.

Just the same old degenerate exploiters whose power is teetering and who will use every dirty trick to maintain the rule of their inherently corrupt, exploitative, supremacist and genocidal capitalist-imperialist system.
