I see you're not a #US person. You are in #Britain.
If "it has gone on for many decades," how is it Biden's fault when he was president for only 4 years?
>> alongside previous and present US Presidents, Biden's regime has supplied Israel with its weapons, and funding for weapons.
That's what allies do for each other. What's "Biden regime?"
>> Biden knowingly supplied Israel with the means to commit mass war crimes and genocide…

**US automakers rip Trump trade deal with UK**
_“The British auto industry expressed excitement about the deal, which allows the U.K. to export 100,000 cars to the U.S. at a 10-percent tariff rate, and effectively removes another national security tariff._
_American carmakers didn’t share that enthusiasm.” _

Malm noted: “1840 was a pivotal year in history, for both the Middle East and the climate system. It marked the first time the British Empire deployed steamboats in a major war. Steam power was the technology through which dependence on fossil fuels came into being: Steam engines ran on coal, and it was their diffusion through the industries of Britain that turned this into the first fossil economy.
“Only by exporting it to the rest of the world and drawing humanity into the spiral of large-scale fossil fuel combustion,” Malm writes, “did Britain change the fate of this planet: The globalization of steam was a necessary ignition. The key to this ignition, in turn, was the deployment of steamboats in war. It was through the projection of violence that Britain integrated other countries into the strange kind of economy it had created — by turning fossil capital, we might say, into fossil empire.”

Bronze-age Britain traded tin with the Mediterranean, a new study shows – settling a two-century debate.
The tin would have made a 4,000km journey to thriving markets in the east Mediterranean.
The Conversation UK · Bronze-age Britain traded tin with the Mediterranean, a new study shows – settling a two-century debate.
**From Land's End to the Levant: did Britain's tin sources transform the Bronze Age in Europe and the Mediterranean?**
“_Results from the shipwrecks near Israel strongly suggest that the ‘bronzization’ of the East Mediterranean, occurring 1500–1300 BC, was primarily driven by European tin sources, particularly from south-west Britain, rather than Central Asian sources. Tin ore finds from settlements across Cornwall and Devon suggest a decentralised production model in prehistory, with agriculture still dominant alongside numerous small alluvial tin workings._”

They may claim to stand for Britain and British people under a proud nationalist banner, but anyone with sense knows who they are and what they really stand for.
Don’t fall for the rhetoric. Reform’s more Germany 1939 than Britain 2025.
