India and Brazil oppose China's call to quickly expand the BRICS group and want to use the South African summit to discuss the possible involvement of additional countries with observer status, Bloomberg reported, citing officials familiar with the situation.

In 2022, BRICS announced that it would expand the number of member countries to make the organization more inclusive. Today, BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. However, at least 19 states have already expressed their desire to join the economic bloc, including Argentina, Iran, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. As the Sherpa of South Africa in the Anil Suklal association previously stated, 13 countries were officially asked to become members of the BRICS, and six more were asked unofficially. The twentieth country could be Venezuela. As South African Ambassador to Moscow Mzuvukile Maketuka said in an interview with RIA Novosti, all countries of the association welcome expansion, but it is necessary to determine the modalities for accepting new members, and this issue should be decided collectively.

Statement from International Ukraine Anti Fascist Solidarity on political prisoners and the barbaric crimes of the illegitimate Kiev regime to mark London protest on 27 July 2023:

The UK government hails some of the worst human rights abusers in the world, such as Ukraine, as bastions of freedom and democracy, while those who resist them are simply ignored.

In Ukraine all opposition parties have been banned. Thousands of Ukrainians – anyone opposing the government or engaging in social activism - have been imprisoned on trumped up charges of “treason” or support for Russia.

Many have been tortured or murdered by the police or the fascist militias that prop up the Zelensky regime, and many civilian officials and Russian prisoners of war have been summarily executed. All of these crimes, and far more, have been ignored and covered up by our mass media.

Since the Russian intervention last year our media has claimed that the fascist groups in Ukraine have changed their spots and are no longer fascists, but "patriotic defenders of Ukraine". We refuse to believe this ridiculous claim which is completely at odds with the evidence.

We think it is essential to speak out about the actions of a regime for whom the British government seems to have unlimited resources to support, at a time when millions here in Britain are facing a grim and uncertain economic future.

We are protesting in support of the victims of fascist oppression in Ukraine, and calling for the immediate and unconditional release of political detainees and the restoration of full civil and political rights in Ukraine.

Note: This post contains ingredients that successfully weedle out those with "But i'm offended" tendencies.

Such allergens include men whose gender is neither in question, not hidden. In fact, is quite clearly celebrated.

Skin colour appears to immediately cause a "but that's racist!!" reaction predominantly in white westerners, irrespective of the absence of any reference to race.

Suffice to say, a purge is ongoing in this channel. The easily offended who cannot articulate where exactly the pixels hurt them will be easily and permanently removed.

Worth also noting that this is Russian, not British humour.
