yeah the basic issue is that to avoid upsetting the Trump administration, every organization combatting antisemitism has decided that literally only antizionism is antisemitism

Bonnie Greer returned to this truth in the foreword of "99 Immigrants Who Made Britain Great" underlining that the only thing ‘indigenous’ to Britain is oats Everyone, every human being & animal in the UK is descended from an immigrant we are all incomers either yesterday or thousands of years ago

Asking the Home Secretary to proscribe Médecins Sans Frontières should alarm anyone who cares about the rule of law. Extraordinary allegations require evidence. Advocacy is not evidence. Assertion is not proof. Terrorism law is not a political cudgel.

I'm old enough to remember Farage saying "raising huge money has not been easy" and Reform was a grassroots movement that depended entirely on small donations. And only now have I clicked that this "appeal" was May 2024 - six weeks AFTER he got his £5m quid "unconditional gift". Man of the Paypal.

Farage & Reform are pretending Ben Delo's conviction under laws to prevent money-laundering was the result of a minor administrative error. It was nothing of the sort. Money-laundering enables organised crime, terrorism & wholesale tax evasion. It is *not* a victimless crime.

Totally. It doesn't matter whether those doing the targeting were correct or not. That they were targeting anyone is the issue. Also, how thick do you have to be to think asylum seekers get put up in top-end 4-star hotels (that also have paying guests in them)?

The reason *everyone* should care about this - whatever their politics - is that nobody is safe from having an uncontrolled mob descending on the hotel they are staying at. And that's what is becoming permissible by the lack of a robust response.

This story is a perfect example of how broken reporting of the mobs roaming Britain's streets now is - and the political response. What would have been the appropriate response if this hadn't been a sports team? Trash the hotel? Force them out into the street? What about other people staying there?

Let’s be clear. Labour’s line on immigration is that immigrants are a bad thing, to be tolerated in the minimum number necessary for the NHS, the economy and so forth, but basically and essentially bad. There’s no other logical reason possible for Mahmood’s approach, endorsed by Burnham.
