No you don't get it, the BBC had to edit out the protect the dolls t-shirt because of impartiality. On the one hand some people think trans women should be safe, but on the other hand some people think trans women should eat glass. It's a deeply politicised issue actually.

Opposition to Israel from thousands of UK Jews, including Stephen Kapos, totally blanked. Letters unpublished, prominence on demos and in Whitehall edited out. Yet blatant antisemitism like the cartoons, tumbleweed.

I think a lot of it is due to the decline of print media - now they’re incentivised to go full on with whatever shite they’re pushing today to get the clicks. And clicks have very rapidly become the difference between attention and obscurity for the “news”.

At least in 2016-19 it felt somewhat organic, even as it was almost entirely Morgan McSweeney and pals feeding drivel and bullshit to the press and mobbing together with a gaggle of deeply unpleasant right wing cranks. This time, the press are fully radicalised to screaming rage immediately.

Not for the first time, I’d ask: what does it mean, if the press keep running campaigns claiming that country’s most horrific racists and bigots are the Green Party, the Labour left, Amnesty International, Stonewall, the police (I know) and Gary Lineker? Look around you. Does that feel right?
CAMILLA LONG
Jew-baiting Greens haven't peaked: they're just getting startedIt's strange having a fully fledged, fully funded racist party in our political line-up. It does not comfort me that in Holborn & St Pancras the Greens "only" got nearly 9,000 votes. If the British National Party, another party defined by a racist lie, had won that many votes in any constituency, there would be pandemonium. There would be riots. There wouldn't be amused, jocular analyses in all the main papers. Its leader wouldn't be ushered on to the Today programme as a senior statesman for a light dressing-down by Nick Robinson.
He wouldn't be allowed to repeat propaganda as Polanski did (he sounded as if he was reading lines from a piece of paper). He wouldn't be greeted with a comical, indulgent shrug.
And if I were a Jew in Holborn, or anywhere, watching this, what would I now be thinking? I would be thinking: I now know precisely how many of my fellow constituents want to kill me. Is anyone doing anything to protect me from them?
Just look at the recent hate crime statistics. Jews are now almost ten times more likely than Muslims to be the targets of a religious hate crime. So no one is stopping it. No one is even touching it. This is an unacceptable place for politics to have reached.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

I don't think so either but even if they did it would leave space for a huge amount of trade for other businesses that were paying their fair share of tax, including SMEs providing decent jobs. Sounds like a win win to me.
