The UK government has received advice from its own lawyers stating that Israel has breached international humanitarian law in Gaza but has refused to make the advice public, a prominent British lawmaker has stated. The Guardian reported on 30 March that Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chair of the House of Commons Select Committee on Foreign Affairs, said, “The Foreign Office has received official legal advice that Israel has broken international humanitarian law, but the government has not announced it.” She added that as a result, the UK must end arms sales to Israel without delay.

Spreading awareness. Please take the time to stop and read.

The UK Press is happy to report on every little comment that J K Rowling makes, or giving media coverage to the useless homophobic, transphobic and racist people who are in the race to running the UK.

Yet when it comes to trans teenagers actively fighting for their lives, it barely makes the news. No major presses are picking the story up, with the only reports being from the likes of Pink News (a queer news platform that many people might not have heard of/actively read from). Although some figures such as Stonewall co-founder Lisa Power have spoken about the protests, many people are still unaware, and the government will turn deaf ears.

Trans kids have been protesting on the ledge on the front of the NHS Offices in England since the 28th of July. They have not moved since, but have been joined by many other protestors under the age of 18.

This protest comes following the legislation from the UK Government and the parties currently to the right of the political spectrum, trying to ban gender-affirming care for youth by banning puberty blockers, as well as the attempt to enforce a rule to make schools forcibly out children if the school is aware if the child identifies other as a gender than assigned at birth.

Additionally, further rules are trying to be passed by the likes of the Tory government which would force trans women out of women-only spaces, under the presumption that they have 'fake transitioned to make it easier for them to be predators' (which is a law that is about transphobia and prejudice, they do not care about the safety of women, but that is a post for another time).

These laws will be catastrophic for young people in the UK, and if they are passed, we will see an increase of suicide rates in young people, as well as in increase in issues such as domestic abuse and bullying. That is not a guess, that is fact- it will happen.

These kids that are protesting at the NHS Offices are so brave. They are standing up to the political parties that are trying to pull out of the ECHR, people who don't care about the rights of the country, and people who push transphobic abuse in most speeches they make. They are being used as political pawns in the culture war currently happening in the UK.

So, if you have the opportunity to spread the word about these brave kids, please do. And if you have the opportunity to support them in person or protest in other places, please do.

Translation/transcript:

Have you ever wondered what interest the UK has in occupying two islands that are 12 thousand kilometers away, over 191 years?

(Text over the image within the dark blue square: The forceful takeover of the Malvinas in 1833 wasn’t an isolated event: it answered to a policy that sought to ensure the influence of the United Kingdom on the American continent.)

The colonization of the Islas Malvinas (Falkland Islands) reveals some of the motives of the colonization that began in January 3, 1833:

Around 1 thousand kilometers away, down south, is Antarctica, territory over which the UK maintains sovereignty claims that overlap with Argentina’s and Chile’s.

(Antarctica has 70% of the world’s fresh water reserves, plus large quantities of minerals and hydrocarbons.)

To the East is the Atlantic Ocean, where the UK also has control over the Georgias Islands and Sandwich Island, Tristan da Cunha, Santa Elena and Ascensión—where the UK has an air base.

(Text within the dark blue square: the Atlantic is the most traveled ocean in the planet and brings 1.5 billion of dollars per year to the global economy.

The UK owns a chain of islands that surrounds South America: The Georgias Islands, Sandwich Island, Tristan da Cunha, Santa Elena and Ascensión.

The air base in the Ascensión Island is used together by the UK and USA.)

To the West, there’s the uninhabited Patagonia and the passages of Drake, Beagle and Magallanes, the only pathways that connect the Pacific with the Atlantic ocean beyond the Panamá canal.

(In the Pacific Ocean, the UK owns the Pitcairn Islands since 1838.)

Up North there’s South America with its invaluable riches, and the Caribbean islands that are part of the British crown, plus the tail end of the Cuenca del Plata—through which millions of tons of food are transported to the rest of the world.

(British colonies: British Virgin Islands, the Turcas and Caicos, the Bermudas, Caiman, Montserrat and Anguilla.

Members of the British commonwealth: Guyana, Barbados, Dominica, and Trinidad y Tobago.

Members of the British commonwealth that recognize UK’s monarchy as the supreme authority: Antigua y Barbuda, San Vicente and the Granadinas, Belice, Canada, Granada, Bahamas, Jamaica, Santa Lucia and San Cristóbal and Nieves.

Free sailing/travel through the Cuenca del Plata was always of interest to the UK, which culminated in the War of Parana in 1845-1850.)

Having control over the islands means having control over an enormous maritime surface, with control of maritime traffic and exploitation of fishing and hydrocarbon resources.

(The sovereignty of the Islas Malvinas also includes Islas Georgias and Sandwich del Sur, plus the maritime spaces around them, which in total constitute a surface of 2.600.000 km².

-The fishing industry in Islas Malvinas extracted 26 thousand millions of dollars in the last 40 years.

-It’s foreseen that in 2025 the oil exploitation will start in the islands.)

Maybe all of that explains why the Islas Malvinas are one of the most heavily militarized territories in the world, where the biggest military base of the southern hemisphere operates.

(The military, missile, naval and air base “Monte Agradable” is located 700km away from continental Antartida.

With around 1500 soldiers over a population of 3000 people total, the Islas Malvinas is one of the most militarized territories in the planet.)

Despite all the protests and arguments from Argentina, the UK maintains ownership of the islands for 191 years, violating the territorial integrity and Argentina’s maritime and bicontinental integrity.

Until our flag (Argentina’s) flies over the islands again, we must continue to denounce that the Islas Malvinas are and will be Argentina’s, always.
