The UK Government is really going all out to protect the perpetrators of genocide from their critics.
-
It is amazing that they are so used to not facing consequences that now they can't even face criticism.

access to their funds cut off indefinitely by Virgin Money and Unit Trust bank respectively
Sue the shit out of them.

Britain speed-running their way into Fascism.
They've been periodically reminding that leaving that country after the Brexit vote was one of the best decisions in my life (and after seeing first hand the discourse around Leave, back then I already thought Britain was one of the most likely European nations to turn Fascist), but the frequency of such reminders has steeply increased in the last couple of months.

And Reform is not even in power yet.

The final form of Fascism came not by false flag or to protect the children, but as censorship for a livestreamed genocide. What a joke.

Fascism was always about the Powerful imposing their will the rest by force, though when establishing themselves they invariably start by doing it to minorities and those at the fringes of society and then progressivelly expand it to the rest, which is the evolution we are seeing here: the UK has already been doing this kind of thing to the poor, immigrants and even a fraction of the Working Class for years and even in some cases decades - all the way back to how Thatcher craked down on the miner strikes - but now they've expanded it to using force against Middle Class types who don't meekly follow the dictatums of the powerful.
In the Neoliberal era, the masses were induced to stop talking about Power and its various forms and tools and were actually convinced that the system in place was one were they ruled themselves indirectly via elected representatives. This wasn't actually true, but as long as keeping the masses content yielded higher returns for the Powerful (happy peasants are hard working peasants), a charade was kept as much as possible since it cost them very little to mostly talk the right talk whilst only seldom having to walk the right walk.
My theory is that with the 2008 Crash, then Austerity and after that the seemingly irreversible collapse of Economic growth in the UK following Brexit, the elites there went fully into pillaging mode (rather than "merely" taking an outsized cut of economic growth as they had done until then) and it became harder to keep the masses content, hence the mask is coming off from the British Power elites, even the currently supposedly (but not really, not even close) leftwing government.

Having lived in multiple countries in Europe, including Britain, lets just say that the UK is especially bad in terms of Morals and Ethics.
After living there for almost a decade I concluded British society and politics was a mix of European-style and American-style values, only they had mostly picked the bad ones from both (for example, Cronyism, Dynastic Wealth and the idea of the inherent superiority of those born rich from Europe and "Greed as the greatest quality there is" from America) rather than the good ones.
Mind you, most of the rest of Europe, at least at the level of the Political and Money elites, is Morally and Ethically a shithole. It's just that the UK is extra, extra special in this.

The banks that seem to support starving children and supporting genocide of civilian population are Virgin Money and Unity Trust.
The CEOs of the banks that seem to support genocide and child starvation are Chris Rhodes and Colin Fyfe.
I don't think it's entirely the banks' fault. In UK pro-Palestinians are "terrorists" and anti-terrorism procedures require the freezing of assets.
People would think twice before flying Palestinian flags when they won't be able to afford food anymore and face terrorism charges. We live in a dystopia and that's very sad.
Put on some traditional TV news and you'll basically be told that there are no civilians there.
The average boomer think the entire place is 100% terrorists. They're not told about the suffering of innocents. And this isn't me speaking about America, I'm talking about non-conservative European news. The amount of propaganda is mind boggling.
It seems to somehow come through. At least my grandma, who is now in a retirement home and I'm pretty sure gets her news only from TV and radio, lists netanyahu in the same sentence as trump and putin as horrible people that should really die asap.
The few articles from traditional media I've read myself did feel that way though.
