We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

Also never seen Breaking Bad or Peaky Blinders - I had a job with difficult hours which meant that I hardly watched any TV for decades. Now I can if I wish but don’t know where to start!

And I also hear it from Israeli colleagues/friends- many of whom have been going every Saturday for over 2 years to demonstrate against Netanyahu in Tel Aviv - something we hardly hear about in the mainstream media

The home office needs to accept that it made a mistake to proscribe membership of the group and -exactly as it states it wishes- allow the police to get on with their real role of ensuring law and order prevail

Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday

I’m very sorry that the police are exhausted but how about the children and families of #gaza ? They continue to starve/be blown up/be displaced/all while we run our talking shop and sip lattes.

On reports the Tories will back leaving the ECHR, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

“Kemi Badenoch has chosen to back Nigel Farage and join Vladimir Putin by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a proud British creation championed by Churchill that protects everyone's rights and freedoms."

There are plenty of ways to humanely control British borders. So why isn’t Keir Starmer using them? | Enver Solomon Labour’s incoherent asylum policies are vilifying refugees. A better and more compassionate route is possible, says the Refugee Council’s Enver Solomon

@enversol.bsky.social states this so coherently

“It doesn’t matter if that woman works two jobs, attends evening classes, studies for a degree and raises British children who become hard-working, tax-paying members of society. It will never be enough.”

Can someone explain to me the difference between chasing and arresting people because they have brown skin,

and chasing and arresting people because they have a yellow star on their clothes.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

I'm honestly just in awe of anyone with the courage to be authentically themself even if they get nonstop messaging that they shouldn't be who they are. That's swimming upstream 24/7. That's needing to reassert your own value to yourself every day. Many of us are not strong enough to do that.

If you’re wondering how batshit bananas he has to be to claim, without any evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, let’s not forget his other proclamations:

“Windmills cause cancer”

“Injecting bleach cures Covid”

“UV light cures Covid”

“Summer cures Covid”

“Covid will get bored and go away”
