  • No, designated as a terrorist group because they broke into an RAF base and damaged aircraft.

    Criticising Israel and opposing genocide is perfectly valid, attacking a country that’s stuck in the middle of it because you don’t like that they’re embroiled in a 100 year old mess they’ve been trying to mediate the whole time, is a different thing entirely.

    If Palestinian action wanted to make a difference they’d target the Israeli embassy but they didn’t, because they’re not protestors they’re saboteurs.

    Turning a corner was like opening a submarine hatch. The brakes locked up causing more accidents and deaths. The suspension allowed the cars to roll easier. And if you were hit by one of them, you had a much higher chance of severe injury or death due to the lack of crumple zone.

    People really need to stop looking for solutions to modern problems by looking to the past at the things that were the reason we ended up with the modern problems.







  • Lucky you. My city, Edinburgh has one of the highest rated public transport systems. The buses and trams are always full. I use them often but I hate every second of it, it’s a horrible experience, card machines that randomly refuse random cards while accepting others, anti social behaviour, litter strewn about the bus by the recent passengers, windows being opened when it’s cold and closed when it’s sweltering, buses showing up at random times, rude drivers, ridiculous charges for jumping on the tram without a ticket because the ticket machines weren’t working, cancellations and route diversions that aren’t properly sign posted leaving you standing for half an hour with a ticket you can’t refund before some kind soul happens to walk past and give the news that the route stopped 3 stops back, a 45 minute journey becomes 2 hours. I could go on and on, public transport is necessary but under capitalism it’s shit. I’ll stick to driving when I don’t have time for deviations.
