The NI Justice Minister was questioned on the deployment of PSNI to London at the weekend. The glib response, lack of accountability and absence of strategy should sound alarm bells. We've included some of the Stormont transcript responses.

Keir Starmer’s spokesman asked about Israel detaining British citizens who were on the Gaza aid flotilla, while in international waters, replies that it is a “matter for the Israeli Government”

News Letter front page 'Firm hand' needed over Gaza protests. UUP's Beattie makes action call after arrests.

Sunday Life front page 5 October 2025 Loyalists in vow to burn council vans over Irish

You never hear Doug Beattie say a 'firm hand' is needed for the people who actually terrorise Northern Ireland

YouTube video by ViperUK PSNI Officers make rare appearance in London to assist with arrests at pro-palestine protest

Be very clear that this was about not only creating fear on English soil, but about 'blooding' officers from N. Ireland to commit mass arrest on Irish soil.

PARTNERS WITH FLYTREX, AN ISRAELI DRONE COPMANY, ALL WHILE ISRAEL USES DRONES TO KILL CHILDREN

Soon you can have your sushi delivered by the same drones that shot toddlers in the head while they were scraping spilled flour off the ground

A lot of people grieve the years they lost to the first years of the pandemic, a time you had your entire life put on hold. Just imagine what it's like for Palestinians watching the calendar approaching 2 years of their people getting massacred daily. Imagine how absurdly long these 2 years feel.

I am wearing a t-shirt that has Mickey and Minnie mouse doing lines on it and two separate people in two separate shops have asked if I work here. Startling indictment of my general vibe I guess.

Daily Mirror front page shows grainy image of horde of children in a cemetery, and the headline “Amazing scene as hundreds of children rush cemetery”

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

I was assigned, at some point, a piece about a spree of killings and land thefts carried out with impunity in the West Bank since October 7th. The piece mostly focused on a single settlement where a man who had gone to pick olives on his land one Saturday was shot by an off-duty Israeli soldier. His execution had been captured on video. The story included a cast of settlers, anti-occupation rabbis, and West-Bank Palestinians who had spent their lives fearing that their homes would be stolen, and that if they were killed or dispossessed, there would be no recourse for them. I ran into the story editor in the hallway, who said he was having trouble balancing the narrative because all the Israeli characters seemed evil, while all the Palestinians were angels. A long section that documented, without any editorializing, that Palestinian dispossession was an ongoing process that had begun long before October 7th was whittled down to a single paragraph after a series of fights between the editor-in-chief and the story editor on one side, and myself and the freelance writer on the other. Though the man’s killing had been filmed, a fact checker is obliged to seek comment from any party alleged to have committed a crime. I called the soldier’s lawyer. He picked up from a café, where I could hear trance music blasting in the background. The lawyer told me that while, yes, his client did shoot the man picking olives, and yes, the man did die, the Israeli military court found his client not guilty of murder because the man picking olives was a terrorist who was throwing stones. Even though the video did not show the Palestinian man throwing stones, the court said that he was, so he was. QED, his client did not murder anyone, and it would be slanderous for us to say so.

Stunning piece. A horror movie of sorts. Will be familiar to anyone on the left trying to navigate the centrist American legacy media, albeit made all the more difficult when your bosses and colleagues all assume your people are by default murderous barbarians. bidoun.org/articles/hou...

I love early Twilight Zone's focus on chumps&losers. It's fairly consistent throughout, but especially in S1, the intro is always Serling going "look at this idiot, this heel of a dipshit. He's got a dick smaller than a Nazi's conscience, and he's going to get his ass kicked...in the Twilight Zone."
