Oct 7th as a Jew outside Israel, was a uniquely bizarre and traumatizing thing because you were just glued to watching it happen, and so were all the Jews in your life, and all your Goyish friends had no idea or worse were unmasked invasion of the body snatchers style as Jew haters

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

Really nice sleight of hand here to say "it sounds hyperbolic" right after saying something cartoonishly hyperbolic
Tomorrow I will be in synagogue to say Kaddish, the traditional mourner’s prayer, in memory of my father who died eight years ago this week. If I were a member of the Green party, I would have reason to believe that that simple act could soon see me expelled as a racist.

It sounds hyperbolic, but the warning comes from Green party activists opposed to a resolution declaring that Zionism is racism, which will be debated at the party conference this weekend. The motion, which if passed would instantly become party policy, holds that Zionism should be “treated as any other form of racism”. On that logic, given that the Greens do not admit members of self-described racist organisations, they could not tolerate members of self-described Zionist organisations – a category that includes almost every synagogue, or synagogue movement, in Britain and indeed the world. Which is why saying Kaddish could lead to expulsion.

Great. Now you've asked your husband his thoughts, ask some pensioners like me. Those barely surviving on the state pension, taxed on our tiny SERPS, renting from dire landlords who your govenment enabled to raise our rents above inflation for 10 more years. Will you meet us? And actually hear us?

London’s rivers are getting the clean-up they deserve. This World Rivers Day, I’m celebrating our waterways and the work underway to transform 10 rivers across London over the next decade. We’re restoring nature, tackling pollution and creating better spaces for Londoners to enjoy.
A stylised map of London highlighting ten waterways restoration projects across the city. Each project area is marked in a distinct colour with labels describing local environmental improvements such as habitat restoration, flood‑risk reduction, new wetlands, better public access, and rewilding. Borough names are listed for each site. The map features the “Mayor of London” logo and a background image of a leafy waterway with buildings. A caption states that partners are working to revitalise waterways in ten locations to improve the environment for millions of Londoners.
