Corbyn was definitely a racist but Farage is probably not because that’s the ridiculous state of the British media in the 21st century.

No “allegedly” not “according to the likud run war ministry” no mention of the near incredible IDF track record for lying. Just an assumption these murdering lying racist bastards are telling the truth. Fuck the BBC, and fuck Israel

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:
And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide.
And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide",
", and they're getting everyone else
ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

The BBC is tearing itself apart to appease publications and politicians who want to see it die. An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.

It's not complicated though, is it? He's a bloodless institutional climber who hitched his wagon firmly to the Labour Right Blairism Redux project under Starmer, acting as one of its most proud and outspoken enforcers. Now, Starmer's a dead PM walking, he's knows he's fucked too, so he's pivoting.

If you ever see someone in politics or political reporting being startlingly blunt about the kind of stuff that has long been very obvious, you can guess “retired”, because you will be right nine times out of ten. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/one-...

One British politician admits he was wrong on Israel. Will others follow?
Alistair Burt, the former Middle East minister, has had time to reflect on his government's inaction over the slaughter of Palestinians - and his assessment is rightly scathing

Who would they write a letter to? Anyone who’s loudly saying the war crimes are excellent and the RSF are fully entitled to kill as many people as possible, I guess. But that appears to be almost nobody, as you would expect.
Have Juliet Stevenson, Alexei Sayle, Steve Coogan, Paul Waller, Gary Lineker, Paloma Faith, Stuart Barnes, Kneecap, Massive Attack, Cenk Uighur, Jeremy Corbyn et al written an angry letter about Sudan yet? Called for a ceasefire?
Sent a flotilla? Owen Jones done a 20 min upload?

An absolute masterclass in obfuscation from the BBC. The scare quotes make a fact into an allegation, the headline suggests that they are struggling to find signs of torture, which is ABSOLUTELY not the case The article explains that Israel destroyed all the forensic equipment and hospitals

A very pointed final line in a statement from the
UK Football Policing Unit on the Maccabi story
"if the government want a role in regulating football events that could be termed 'events of national significance', then they need to bring forward legislation"
"The UKFPU supported West
Midlands Police in gaining access to the full details of the previous incidents in Amsterdam via the European policing network so they had all the relevant information available to them.
Following this, the Home Office were briefed last week by the UKFPU about the potential issues and options that the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) may take including restrictions on visiting fans.
The Safety Advisory Group is made up of independent bodies who make recommendations to the licensing authorities and the priority is always the safety of those attending matches
recommendations to the licensing authorities and the priority is always the safety of those attending matches and the wider public. This process was supported the Sports Ground Safety Authority. It is important that we respect and support the structures in place for making these decisions. If there are any adverse incidents, then they are the ones that will be held responsible.
The UKFPU, in the wake of the Casey Review following the serious disorder at Wembley in 2021, has suggested that if the government want a role in regulating football events that could be termed 'events of national significance', then they need to bring forward legislation to formalise this to encirs annalintahility cite with

Push notifications about the government working to reverse a ban on Israeli football hooligans like it's a national crisis.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned because of information from Interpol in Europe, who passed it on to the Home Office, who gave it to the Police, who banned them. Is our Government really going to endanger the safety of our citizens just so it doesn't upset Israel?

I could write you a book but the basic reason is: they are highly unpleasant, self-centred psychos who have deeply committed themselves and the national press to their drivel and horseshit, so they now can’t do anything else but roar bullshit and drivel, to maintain the fiction as long as possible.

Very jarring how the media treats some lives as inherently and others not. I am happy for hostages and their families to be reunited, but it’s shocking how little media attention is given to “how do Gazans grapple with the utter destruction of their homes, vast loss of lives, and ongoing famine.”

particularly callous and inhumane detail here. these people never gave a fuck about Jews
"In September 2020 “Gordstein” was one of three complainants against Riva Joffe, an 80-year-old Jewish veteran of the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa. 

Her sin was to have described Israel as an Apartheid state (a view shared by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organisation B’tselem) and to have urged Jeremy Corbyn to stand up to the “Zionist lobby.”

The Labour Party opened a formal investigation and Joffe spent the closing days of her life penning an immensely dignified response from her death bed. “This frenzy of purging you are driven to – it’s not the behaviour of mature adults. It smacks of desperation, fear and panic,” she wrote.

Joffe lived in Starmer’s constituency and knew him personally. But a direct request on behalf of her son that the charges against her be posthumously dropped did not even elicit a response."

This is pathetic. The Prime Minister did less than nothing to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians as they were mass murdered indiscriminately by the State of Israel. Now he wants a pat on the back for his imaginary role in a ceasefire. Scoundrel. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Recognising Palestinian state helped get ceasefire, says Starmer
The PM says the Gaza deal belongs to Trump - but insists the UK played a key role behind the scenes.
