Wild to see on the front page. Gives me a smidgeon of hope. Though I'm sure there's a lot of bougie cope and counter-propaganda in the comments. I won't read them because it's Sunday and I value my sanity.

    Surely we should call out when countries are commiting atrocities, whether they are opponents or allies.
    Especially when they are our own. It is good that we can call out our own intelligence agencies fir crimes in the past. And we should call for justice to be levelled at those who committed them.
    One good thing is in most western democracies you will not go to prison for calling out these crimes. You will not be tortured.
    Try to criticise the Ukraine war in Moscow. Mention Tiananmen Sq in China.
    I opposed the Iraq war. There were record protests attended at the time. You will not go to prison for calling fir Blair's arrest.
    It is good we can shine sunlight on the crimes of the past and important we do all we can to stop them now and in the future.
