What?! This is outrageous. Starmer's police guard at Downing Street refused to accept this letter signed by 100 Jewish people!

Kwajo is a very impressive advocate for social housing (and narrowing the wealth gap).
Matt Chorley's opinion that asylum seekers are taking up hotel rooms wanted by the insecurely housed is nonsense! They're trying to get OUT of hotels where their councils have placed them and into permanent homes!

Weeks before the controversial US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) launched its operations in Gaza, a UK-based dark money think tank helped Israel launder smears against UNRWA โ€“ the main body historically responsible for aid distribution across Palestine.
Significantly, the report originated from right-wing foreign policy think tank the Henry Jackson Society (HJS). The group has long embedded itself amid a nexus of pro-Israel groups participating in the active apartheid, persecution, and expulsion of Palestinians from their land. It has also played a prominent role proliferating Islamophobic discourse and policy in the UK.

Disappointed to hear near the end of Ian Payne's show on @lbc.co.uk this morning, Andrew Fox from the HENRY JACKSON SOCIETY spreading propaganda, unchallenged, about how well the Gaza Humanitatian Foundation are distributing food! Unsurprising -

In an attempt to appear edgy, the UK government has decided to act more like angry children than "the adults in the room".

Thanks for the clarity. Alarm bells rang straight away at an unfamiliar pollster presenting Farage as the most popular, so I looked them up. The UK Media are pouring attention on him and seem determined to make him PM, but the wealthy hard Right are boosting his ilk worldwide aren't they?

The Coalition's internal pollster is helping orchestrate a campaign to boost public support for the gas industry ahead of the federal election in what has been described as "textbook astroturfing".

An ABC investigation has discovered the public relations and research firm Freshwater Strategy is working with Australians for Natural Gas, which claims to be a grassroots movement representing households and small business.

THIS Freshwater Strategies? Starmer being deeply unpopular would make perfect sense but Farage (friend of fossil fuels) is presented here as popular by a campaigner/pollster linked with astro-turfing for a Gas Company.
I'm just asking questions. ๐Ÿค”

Paedophiles are all ages and come from all walks of life. Most don't look/act like 'dirty old men,' they look/act like dads or priests or police officers or retail workers or politicians or doctors or judges or bus drivers or grandmas or dancers or brothers or patriots etc etc.

Something thatโ€™s been missed about the blocking of the Hillsborough law is that itโ€™s intrinsically linked to the genocide in Gaza.

Why? Because it would allow public officials who lie to be prosecuted.

I've given you a link. But carry on making up your own statistics that back up your base feelings. I'm not wasting any more time on someone who doesn't want to accept facts.

Not a free pass. There's an asylum system whereby those who qualify stay and those who don't are deported. They don't enter illegally, they have to be on our land in order to claim asylum, allowed by international law.
And you can relax, because it's all paid for out of our International Aid budget.

We pay taxes for our government to take care of the homeless *and* fulfil our international obligations. There's plenty of money swimming around this country, the 6th richest in the world. Any shortages are a political choice. The rich are thrilled you're diverting attention & fighting for scraps.

Yes, let's hope she walked off stage never to see him again!
And I agree, we are so much more than superficial appearance and the many, many decades of talented women fighting to be taken seriously makes it all the more galling to see this performance!

Who'd have thought that politicians, Media & others constantly spreading fear & misinformation and using minority groups as scapegoats for failure, would lead to concern about *asylum seekers (not criminals) filling *former hotels (sharing rooms with strangers, no room service or facilities, etc)!

Appearance is one of many attributes that bring success. Unfortunately, some girls are taught that their only worth is in appealing to men.
(Of course, men are allowed to age. ๐Ÿ™„)
By the way, I think she was very uncomfortable being manhandled by Trump. That was the smile of placation/appeasement.

The trans rights stitch-up How government plans to silence debate on the new rules

It's very telling what happens to the comment whenever I write on this subject. Every other week, the comments in my substack are witty, funny and kind. On this topic, they're bitter, vicious, demented.

A great piece by Ian Dunt on trans rights being taken away without even a pretence of parliamentary debate.

Around the world, LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly used as a litmus test for democracy. Our rights are everyone's rights, and when they come for us, they're coming for your freedom.

Exactly! It suits the white and/or British paedophiles & sex-offenders to have people on the look-out for everyone but them. And our racist Media are only too willing to portray 'migrants' as illegal, Brown or Black, and a threat.

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions.

Any โ€œtough on crimeโ€ policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction.

A con.

Donโ€™t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.
