Ah. So all of those people are protesting. And no Jewish people. Okay.

So a newspaper is saying that. It still leaves 2 million (ish) which is a lot of people.

There are many Israelis who are demonstrating against this.

Except on release it’s not going to do that.

Yes. So let’s wait till it’s useful before rolling out to all. Instead of rolling it out to all to cater for a minority who already have proof they have right to work. Imo it’s a data grab.

On BLTs it’s fine. But otherwise it’s brown sauce. You are a monster. 😊

So is he saying they’re not British? Thinking about London, communities move about. My grandad lived in a Jewish part of Manchester 60/70s. I now live in south Essex where there are lots of Jewish people. Is it wrong for diaspora to move? A term coined in the 1600s. It’s not new.

I agree. What does annoy me is that people think it started on oct 7th. It didn’t. Palestine was occupied long before. But ordinary Israeli people are not to blame. The Israeli forces however…

But according to him
I live in a ghetto. It’s not mixed. It’s almost entirely white. Though I know that’s not what he meant.

18Β°C here inside (no heating) and nearly 14 outside. So T-shirt here.

It would have been cheaper to fly to Southampton and private helicopter to Salisbury. Or least similar price.

I’m not seeing too much. But def more. My block finger is getting exercise.

I want to live that way. Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol.
And pollution-wise Khan has made a huge difference. But compared to Devon …

Now you lot have got me thinking. My heart belongs to east London (despite being a Lancashire lass).

I accidentally went to Manor Park on the 474 bus when I was a little squiffy. Right bus, wrong direction 😊

Just checked the demographics. It sounds amazing.

I feel safer in east London than I do in south Essex. And I feel pretty safe here.

I think if I was a teenager in a gang in any UK city that may be different. But most people are not teenagers in a city.

Grrrr. They closed our marina so had to move to Essex. And now you are just rubbing it in πŸ˜‰

UK here. I didn’t think they were entitled to it, despite paying billions into the economy. Is he trying to break β€˜murica completely? And why?

I’ve never really fancied it. But I used to watch β€˜early edition’ set in Chicago, and they do seem to be standing up…

But I bet he didn’t mention where in Birmingham…

I was in Stratford, London today and I can’t tell you the make up of whites and non whites, because it didn’t matter. I love the diversity of east London and I really miss living there πŸ˜”

Thinking about β€˜not being a hugger’. Before today, the last time I hugged someone was my boss when I first met her in March 2020

Funny, I went into the office in Stratford, London today and totally forgot to count white v non white people πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

But I did give a lovely muslim young woman a hug for helping me. And I’m not a hugger. (I only knew because she was wearing a hijab, and only noted because I don’t hug).

I mean it would piss off a lot of world travellers. But let’s be honest, people are being disappeared in US. The govt has shut down and isn’t paying anyone. These people have families and bills. Seems like things are getting bad for a lot of people very quickly.

Oh is that why they don’t win everything? Shocked face. A trans woman athlete is a female athlete and is better trained and capable than practically any human on the planet.

UK here. Imo air traffic should go home if they’re not being paid. That would shut down US aviation. And incoming flights.

In fact any worker affected by this where it affects the govt.

I just feel sorry for Brit Ian. He’s so very unlucky.

I guess I’m also a tech worker (after a fashion), but in the UK we don’t have guns. So I don’t have a printer, because what would I do if it made a noise I didn’t recognise?

And who even prints these days anyway?
