The number of people on here who don’t think his death matters…it matters. It matters a great deal.
If you hate history’s greatest anti-Nazi because he helped the Jews to have a safe homeland, what might you be? 🤔 🤔 🤔
“The misplaced criticism arises partly from a failure to understand the realities of coprolalia. It arises, too, from the ways in which we now think about racism and diversity.” My Sunday @theobserveruk.bsky.social column online early on Thursday: observer.co.uk/news/columni...
Inappropriate comparisons such as the one you are making weaken the understanding of the true nature of Nazi crimes at a time of both rising ignorance of the nature of Holocaust, as it passes outof living memory, & disproportionate race hate crimes against Jews. Erasing antisemitism matters.
You can be against the actions of Trump & ICE & also against Holocaust trivialisation.

I just went thru 24hrs worth of posts on here. Almost no mention of what’s happening in Iran. This was the honourable exception. The replies aren’t pleasant.

This is what war looks like not in words, but in reality.

If you didn’t mean this post to be taken as anti Zionist you should consider it is being received as such in the comments when the poll is in fact about Israeli govt actions. When people are being killed outside the region for being ‘Zionists’ I think it’s worth being wholly clear on meaning.
You’re not “good people” if you’re engaging in any kind of cover up.
There is a tendency to assume good intentions in cover ups in the public sector which you simply don’t see elsewhere. If a bank regulator discovered bank staff had been concealing facts they wouldn’t assume good faith, they’d expect prompt disciplinary action on both individual & org.
I think the base assumption tippexing out the ethnicity of an offender was driven by honourable intentions is part of the problem here. We shouldn’t assume those who sought to conceal facts were well intentioned.
I’d explain how this is Holocaust trivialisation but I’d be wasting my breath. It’s too popular for anyone to care.
It is a well-known fact that Russia transferred its air defense systems to Iran (probably with specialists) "to protect nuclear facilities".
Today, Israel announced the destruction of dozens of radar stations and ballistic missile launchers in the western part of Iran.
Among the targets Israel is destroying are nuclear technologies given to Iran by Russia in return for the vast supply of drones Putin uses to murder Ukrainian civilians. Hopefully the drone factories are next to be flattened.
Dear god, the replies & QTs. A constant stream of it. No push back either. Just allowed to stand without comment <<walks back out again>>
Incidentally, if you want to know why the government doesn't have any money and services are starting to fall apart, you may enjoy this graph, from this article

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:
"Russia is at an enormous pace reconstituting itself.They are producing ammunition at a level which has not been seen in recent decades.They produce four times as much ammunition as the whole of NATO is producing as we speak.Their whole economy is on a war footing"
Macron will always talk to voters tempted by extremist opponents but he refuses to speak to his actual far right opponents outside of mandated forums. And that’s someone with his unusually good verbal skills.
This whole incident is repellent. Portnoy was too generous in his reaction but that’s what’s too often expected of victims of antisemitism. They have to imagine their persecutors are capable of change in a way we don’t treat other racists. And the antisemites never change. They always do it again.
Opportunity to promote black designers? Difficult to line to tread for white guest dressed by white designer. But yes, the theme def made it black men’s night.
The men had the better night imho.
The 1960s building push was huge & those homes are now all v desirable as people adapt & change them. Henley even had large sections of social housing built during the 60s.
Craziest thing about this particular objection is Henley as a town owes its ‘success’ to repeated big building pushes which didn’t fundamentally change character of the town. Top end of town near this development is nearly all 60s. Below that are 1930s streets, then Victorian linking to Tudor town.
Ayo Edebiri is my fave look. Aligns perfectly with the code. Beading is v West African. I am still trying to accept Kim Kardashian wore that whole pimp ensemble. The dress was appalling but the hat, dear lord.
Well, no. For reasons I gave. Voters have to feel the delivery. Min wage rise & workers rights change have actively worked against growth pledge which would benefit far more people than those individual policies do. Voters feel this in their day to day lives, telling them they’re wrong won’t work.
As I said, you can scrape together some metrics on which Labour have ‘made a difference’ but overall picture is one of no significant improvement in day to day lives & a not inconsequential number of broken promises. Which is why voters are so pessimistic.
Ok, NHS lists are still v v high, min wage increases benefit v small % of workers, workers rights changes even fewer & both have had negative effects on business ability to create jobs & increase pay which is an issue for far more than benefit. Public services aren’t improving. Growth flatlining.
I think the main problem Starmer has is personality. He just doesn’t seem to ‘lead’. He can’t explain his vision or get ahead things. Doesn’t think on his feet. Only time there have been hints of ability has been with Ukraine & I think he had the template set for him on that by previous govts.
I don’t agree, I’m afraid. Voters recognise when their day to day lives improve & that’s what politicians have to deliver on. Both main parties have been failing on this front in recent years, often thru over promising. Govt hasn’t improved lives in a long time & this is causing disillusionment.
