   “Bray Air Display has dropped US defence and aerospace manufacturer Lockheed Martin as a sponsor for this year’s event over the company’s supply of arms support to Israel in the Gaza war.”

   Useful idiots in the tech world: “But sponsorship doesn’t affect anything… they should have just taken their money.”

     @fkamiah17 Thanks for the link. Excellent interview. No wonder they pulled it. Can’t have people criticising the folks carrying out a proxy war on behalf on your country (in the proud words of the UK opposition leader).

     @aral Slightly off topic again (soz) but you should watch the Sky interview with Professor Morandi of Tehran University I just posted - real-time "shit he said the truth we can't broadcast that" western propaganda move.

     @fkamiah17 I wouldn’t be surprised if that news anchor is reprimanded for actually letting him talk without interrupting him or more forcefully toeing the party line.

     @aral Euch, yes. I can't quite belief anyone even asks her opinion about anything any more, they're so irrelevant.
     You're welcome. It felt like a very important interview to watch, because he was more excoriating than I think I've ever seen on a Western broadcast. It's been submitted to the genocide archive, of course, so it won't disappear entirely.
