The UK Foreign Office's former Chief mouser #Palmerston has died in Bermuda, where he moved in 2020 after retiting as #diplocat. 😞

Outranked by the great Larry the #Number10Cat, prolific tweeter Palmerston was a disreputable cat, named after the infamous Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister Lord Palmerston. The original Palmerston is best known in Ireland as a cruel landlord in famine-ravaged #Sligo, and globally for starting the appalling #OpiumWars in China.

Seems the shock of the ten or thirty or sixty deaths of Palestinian children, women, old people and innocent people every day from Israel's genocide in Gaza is meant to count for nothing according to the cops and British government.

Starmer's gov is complicit in mass murder. Let's call that out as not "modern British".

Day 13:

Today, I'm recommending another book by #JamesClavel, #TaiPan.
It is the second book in #Clavel's fantastic #AsianSaga.

It describes the rivalry of two English merchant families + their rise 2 power against the well-researched background of the #OpiumWars + #Hongkong's early colonial history.
It 1st got me interested in 🇨🇳.

> ... China was quite exceptional. But things began to change with the #OpiumWars, the extraction of concessions from China by European countries. The system began to fragment. Local mandarins frequently became corrupt and sold off the granaries. China in the 1860s experienced three civil wars, the largest of which — the #TaipingRebellion
— is probably the bloodiest in world history.

Does anyone actually believe that no #military generals were involved in the wanton ritualistic murder of #Afghan people, a process described as "#blooding".

Will we ever know the full extent of the murderous #cult, given that 9 troops have reportedly committed suicide apparently.

Do we also believe that no #USA generals were involved?

Up to 3000 #Australian #military personel could be stripped of ill-gotten accolades, based on revelations in Thurdays, #Afghan #warCrimes report.
