From the new Private Eye, in shops now.
The Telegraph slammed the BBC for “championing” Bob Vylan….
But the Telegraph forgot to mention it gave Bob Vylan a glowing four-star review last year and trumpeted that they “had somehow established a mood of feel-good catharsis."

From midnight tonight Palestine Action are 'terrorists' and you can get up to 12 years in prison for showing any support for them.
What did these 'terrorists' do?
Put paint on a plane, which isn't defined as terrorism in any nation, including quite ridiculously the UK.
Ban Israel from everything, sanction them into oblivion.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.
You're going to need a bigger prison.

Oppose Israel and they will oppose you.
While Israel is never opposed no matter what crimes they commit.

Since Bob Vylan said "Death, death to the IDF" the IDF has killed 400 Palestinians.
Which is why he said what he said.
MPs have voted in favour of legislation to proscribe group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, passing by 385 votes to 26. The order, which amends the Terrorism Act 2000, is now expected to be signed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and come into effect later this week. Once in effect, supporting Palestine Action will become a criminal offence, with membership or expressing support for the direct action group punishable by up to 14 years in prison. However, legal action is being taken to try and temporarily block the order, with a hearing scheduled to take place on Friday at London's High Court.
Disgraceful: UK MPs have voted 385-26 to proscribe Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organization,' which means that expressing support for the group can lead to up to 14 years in prison.
The UK state will go to literally any lengths to defend Israel's right to genocide.

No critic ever sought to engage with the evidence base cited in the articles they found so offensive. The attacks were crudely ad hominem, with “anti-Semitism” generally depicted as the basic motivation of the authors.
20.06.2025 07:14 — 👍 35 🔁 17 💬 1 📌 0British journalist Peter Oborne has called out a BBC director over the broadcaster’s double standards of reporting on Palestinians during Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
Oborne confronted the broadcaster's head of news content at an event this week.
Death toll from aid site attack rises to 31: Gaza’s Civil Defence An attack earlier this morning near an aid distribution point in central Gaza is now confirmed to have killed 31 people, according to Mahmoud Basal, spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defence. About 200 people have also been wounded and taken to hospitals, he said, adding that the casualties were a result of “Israeli tank and drone fire”.
Israel is quickly trying to normalize a new and unimaginable form of depravity: mass-murdering aid-seekers.
Al Jazeera reports at least 31 more people were killed and 200 injured by IDF drones and tanks this morning.
Do not become numb to this atrocity.

Israel has declared the Madleen (With Greta Thunberg on) a security threat, it is jamming their electronic systems and circling them with combat drones.
If it blows them up Israel will surely declare it an 'accident' but it will be their most blatant War Crime yet.
