Banksy accurately depicts just how morally depraved govts have become-peacefully protesting genocide of innocent Palestinians,women&children has been labelled as “terrorism”. Solidarity w brave souls who were arrested including NHS staff,an 83yr old priest & disabled RAF veteran

There are 156 billionaires in the UK with a total wealth of £620 billion. Redistributing their wealth over £10ml at just 3% would raise almost £40 billion - enough to fully fund the NHS Tax the billionaires.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The OPs claim is wrong. A 3% tax on the £620Bn assets of UK Billionaires would raise £18.5Bn not £49Bn. The annual UK Health budget is £212Bn so the proposed wealth tax would raise 8.7% of the NHS budget and not fully fund it Source ons.gov.uk

Amir walked 12 kilometres, barefoot, to get food. He kissed the hand of an American soldier, thanking him for a bag of rice and lentils. Then Israel killed Amir, right in front of the soldier. A child, grateful for lentils. Executed in broad daylight. Amir was 5 years old.
