The Jewish world should honor, praise Ahmed al-Ahmed | The Jerusalem Post Ahmed al-Ahmed belongs in that moral family tree of the "Righteous Among the Nations."

Along with such heroes,as those of the London Bridge Attack (Darryn Frost,Steven Gallant,John Crilly,ลukasz Koczocik & Adam Roberts) & the Glasgow Airport Attack (John Smeaton,Stephen Clarkson,Alex McIlveen & others) there is now another civilian heroโ€ฆ

A Britain that could hold its own on the world stage without cruelty, gimmicks or flags the size of small planets.

Maybe thatโ€™s why it still haunts people. Because it proved we werenโ€™t imagining it. The magic was real. Itโ€™s the aftermath thatโ€™s absurd.

Every year since that ceremony has felt like a slow, inevitable plot twist revealing that the utopian vibe was a brief cameo before the chaos engine took over.

But for one night in 2012, we saw a version of Britain that was generous, creative, inclusive and full of soul.

Public services hollowed out. Inequality ballooned. Housing became a horror show. Food banks became normalised. Political life descended into theatre, and not the good Boyle kind.

It was bold, humane, weird, funny, and heartfelt. It reminded us who we were capable of being.

And then, somehow, the country wandered off a cliff. It's as if that ceremony was a final farewell before we handed it all over to the Tories and Farage and the billionaires.

Real wages stalled.

A ceremony that took us from pastoral idylls to punk nurses pogoing around the NHS, from industrial hellfire to Tim Berners-Lee dropping the internet mic, from the Queen fake-parachuting with James Bond to a deafening eruption of pure, defiant joy.

I think that was a bad trope that was often used by "our" side, as I found these on the OFCOM site. They were classified as "Editorial" and not entertainment.

Unfortunately, the links to these entries don't work anymore, and the new format (the ones in colour) now doesn't show type of service

It was amplifying disinformation that endangers aid workers and damages vital humanitarian work.

Once again, the loudest voices crying โ€œfake newsโ€ have been caught peddling it.

It is reckless propaganda dressed up as commentary, aimed at stirring suspicion against a charity whose staff have themselves been killed by the very extremists they were accused of supporting. GB News was not exposing wrongdoing.

Islamic Relief was falsely accused of funding terrorism, a claim so baseless that the High Court heard it was entirely untrue and deeply offensive.

This is not journalism.

GB News has been caught out yet again. This time, the self-styled โ€œtruth tellersโ€ have been forced to issue a full public apology and hand over substantial damages after platforming an outright lie that smeared one of the countryโ€™s most respected humanitarian charities.

I hope nobody was injured in the collision, but this may provide an answer to that age old question of "Why did the Chicken cross the road?"
