I don't think some people on the Left quite understand *why* so many Jews react negatively to some of the language that is so commonly trotted out about Israel on the Left these days. Perhaps this (from the National Front's newspaper in the 1970s), will go some way towards helping you understand.

From the national Front's newspaper: "Support the Intifada. Campaign for Palestinian rights. Zionism is racism."

The Tories have announced they would abolish Natural England, support a Third Runway & pull the UK out of the Aarhus Convention - in further signs they’ve totally given up on Middle England, don’t give a toss about the environment & just want to please some wealthy grouse moor owners & raving YIMBYs

Tory party press release: “[We will leave the Aarhus] Convention that powers the lawfare hindering every major infrastructure project in this country.”

“Abolish Natural England and the Environment Agency, moving to a more streamlined regulatory landscape to protect our environment.”

Tory PR: “Support a Third Runway at Heathrow Airport and wider expansion, increasing capacity to deliver cheaper flights, better connections for passengers, and more exports of high-value British goods.”

Chesil Beach. Forming for 25 millennia. Up to 15 metres high and 200 metres wide. A lagoon that is a haven for nature. An estimated 180 billion pebbles, sorted for size west to east by longshore drift. The SWCP follows the inner shore of the lagoon. So peaceful today on our 9 miles into Weymouth.

Chesil beach and it's lagoon from the west.

NEW The diabolical defending of Manchester City Understanding an aggressive litigation strategy By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk (Prospect paywall is down currently.) www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th... #MCFC

What can explain such an aggressive and counterproductive approach? To an extent the answer may be in the facts and the evidence. Perhaps the view was that the only chance of getting out of this was to be unhelpful as well as robust. In respect of an earlier dispute with Uefa, an internal communication at the club apparently said “Uefa doesn't respond to anything other than aggression”. Maybe the view was taken that this would work here too. Maybe the club still thinks it will work in the end, with the league being pushed into settlement on appeal or at the doors of the High Court.

But this does not offer a total explanation. What may work with Uefa may not work with other adversaries. The structure of the league’s investigation and the disciplinary approach meant that aggression would not only be unhelpful, but would count heavily against the club. An appeal on the law or procedure at the High Court in this sort of case only has a remote chance of success. It can be assumed the club was warned of all this.

There is a phrase in football punditry that “the defending is diabolical”. Here diabolical is, of course, a synonym for dreadful. But in its more literal sense, diabolical means bedevilled with wrongful purpose. And the strategy adopted by Manchester City in contesting this matter is also in this sense diabolical. The club will have known that it was unlikely to work, and that it would make things harder, but the club decided to do it anyway.

Golden Cap on our own this morning. Mission accomplished by leaving a roast potato for the next hound to pass that way. Cocoa and I climbed it twice on a scorching day in 2019, and his only reward was a dunk in the sea. Justice for all trail dogs.

The whole of Lyme Bay to the west of Golden Cap on a sunny late September morning.

Golden Cap, the highest point on the south coast, and the second highest point on the entire English coast outside of Exmoor and North Cornwall. Trig point 191m asl.

The reward roast potato left at the base of the Golden Cap commemorative plaque. Who got rewarded I wonder? Probably a seagull.
