I admire Mo Salah's restraint.

"Farewell". Really?

Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

I guess we'll see how long the Constituition survives - will the Supreme Court gradually undermine it by action and inaction?

'People are angry': Behind the wave of asylum hotel protests The BBC visits sites of protests to hear the voices of those opposed to the hotels and others in support of asylum seekers.

If the BBC were professional journalists instead of Far Right Cheerleaders they’d have checked Orla Minihane’d busy timeline on X and seen her many far right wing posts, supporting Rupert Lowe-Life etc

And wouldn’t depict her as an average local Epping woman scared by migrants in the Bell hotel πŸ™„πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

RFK jr. announces the NIH is working on a β€œuniversal vaccine” (actually a whole virus vaccine platform) that will be β€œsafe and effective”. This is actually…fine? It’s being pitched as an alternative to the β€œdangerous” mRNA platform, which is dumb.

But the response from his people is…predictable.

In a court of law 'support' for an organisation means financial or working to aid their operation.

Holding a sign is not support.

As the Government will find out when it takes all these people to court for 'supporting' Palestine Action.

Crowd in Parliament Square

Via Defend Our Juries:

There were approximately 1,000 people holding allegedly β€˜terrorist’ signs today in Parliament Square defending Palestine Action, substantially in excess of the original 600-700 estimate.

Of these the Met has so far arrested an estimated 200, a fifth of the total.

A post on X by the Met Police in London, accompanied by a photo of protestors on Parliament Sq. The post says:

Arrest update: We’ve now arrested 150 people in Parliament Square.

While many of those remaining in the Square are media and onlookers, there are still people holding placards supporting Palestine Action. 

Officers are steadily working through the crowd making further arrests.

JFC. 150 arrested now.

In future, when people read how a genocide was allowed to happen in #Gaza, the history books will note that some did take a stand. They included college students, the elderly and the disabled.

Their government labelled them terrorist supporters & arrested them.

Amongst those arrested in London for peacefully protesting the genocide in Gaza is this blind person in a wheelchair.

Staggeringly embarrassing and shaming for Starmer.

β€œShame on you!” being shouted by the crowd.

The Great VAT Panic Or how not to run a campaign

New post just out:

"The Great VAT Panic"

The claims made by the right-wing press about VAT on private school fees were wildly wrong.

Why? What are the lessons about about (how not to) run a lobbying campaign? And what can government learn?

I love these Police Body Cam TV Shows.

This suspect wasn't named but desribed as a "42 year old crybaby, a serial fraudster with a long history of violence, caught attempting to flee the country after beating an old man."

BBC among media misreportimg/exaggerating scale of asylum protests

Median protest is a few dozen, below 100.

"Usually Several hundred at a time" is false.
- should say *occasionally*
< 1/10 protests have 200 people

"Sometimes thousands"
I dont think a single 2025 protest had > 2000 people yet
