Is this still the best ever summer holiday out of office message? Please post any better ones you’ve seen!

Just found again this photo of me at school aged 16, a whole 47 years ago in 1979 at the start of the two-year A-level cycle. Not sure why my clunky watch is so far up my arm - I think it was fashionable at the time.

A great joy yesterday to catch up with the lovely Secretary General of the Commonwealth @SGCommonwealth Shirley @AyorkorBotchwey. And of course we discussed the World Cup, England v Ghana and how London is currently several degrees hotter than Accra.

Ally McCoist - the most vacuous, uninsightful, repetitive, vocabulary-bereft #WorldCup pundit by far, despite the stiff competition for that title.

For as long as some Left-fascist Jew haters threaten to boycott Gail’s, I’ll happily give them my custom. A great bakery!

It was my high honour and duty to travel up to Leeds yesterday for a fine musical and anecdotal send-off for my dearly departed friend Andy Kershaw @THEandykershaw pictured here in our final on-screen call a few months ago. Fly high buddy, wherever you are, there’ll be No Off Switch!

Left-fascist Jew hate in one cartoon. Perhaps the guy on the left is a “lifelong anti-racist”? #antisemitism

Still extremely sad today after the death of my friend, Andy Kershaw, at just 66. I also celebrate a crazy, interesting, pioneering life, lived to the full with ‘No Off Switch’ - the title of his autobiography, my signed copy of which I cherish.

Great to chat with #Ghana’s excellent new High Commissioner to the UK, Zita Benson - the first women in that post - @GhanainUK today. We have plans for the England v Ghana #WorldCup game on 23 June!

As a matter of principle, I’ll be purchasing bread and bakery products from @Gails_Bakery in future, starting today. Perhaps for easy identification by @guardian’s Jonathan Liew, I should wear a yellow star while doing so?

jonbenjamin19 @jonbenjamin19.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Pure, unadulterated #Antisemitism from the @guardian - how dare a cafe with Jewish connections (but no current Israeli ones) even exist close to a Palestinian-owned one? How often the Left progressive mask slips and they show us what they really mean!

This is how they typically speak on BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners Question Time. This and calling a rabbi “an animal”. #MothinAli #Greens

In 2007 in New York, I heard the open Holocaust-denier #Ahmedinejad say: “there are no homosexuals in Iran”. There were of course many gay men, as witnessed by his regime hanging so many. There still are. But today, in Iran, there is no Ahmedinejad. #Iran

A solemn day today, visiting the Dachau Nazi concentration camp just outside Munich, site of such destruction of human life and a permanent warning of where #antisemitism can lead.

Absolutely this 👇 The Fascist Right and Fascist Left meet, as per the horseshoe theory of politics, with a shared love of authoritarianism, state control of the individual, dehumanising their perceived enemy, Jew-hate and the small matter of a track record of ideologically approved mass murder.

Funny how many Nazi salutes there are on these hate marches, isn’t it? Strangely, those “lifelong anti-racists” marching alongside them never seem to notice. And if they didn’t see it, it didn’t happen. #antisemitism

This map is incorrect in one key respect: proper jollof rice is from #Ghana. #Naija jollof is to the superior Ghanaian version what League Two is to the Champions League. Or to the World Cup, but #Nigeria aren’t in that of course. #Africa #jollof

#OTD 36 years ago, this monstrosity - the Berlin Wall - was overcome. It was built by a Marxist dictatorship to prevent its own people from seeing and tasting the freedoms available on the other side of it. A symbol of Communist joylessness, oppression and inferior achievement.

It almost seems like some ranting, obsessive Left Fascist Jew-haters on here and out there really don’t like ceasefires and peace after all. What a shock! #Israel #Gaza #GazaCeasefire

jonbenjamin19 @jonbenjamin19.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Ceasefire now! “To be honest, we never really meant that. What we really meant was that we want the military destruction of Israel and, if necessary, of all the Je…, whoops we mean “Zionists” who live there. That’s the genocide we really want to see.” Another hate march.

jonbenjamin19 @jonbenjamin19.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I really enjoyed the art @Tate Britain this morning but, judging from some of the accompanying inscriptions, you’d think their central mission was not art at all but to make visitors hate #Britain . #Tate the hate. Where the long ‘progressive’ march through the institutions ends up.

The condemnatory statement of his son by the father of #jihadalshamie is beginning to look a touch threadbare now: here he is in 2012 calling on history to apologise to Hitler. Perhaps young Jihad picked up on this kind of talk around the family dinner table? #manchesterattack

In some mosques in the UK rabid, open #jewhate and incitement to violence are on display and, yet, no action is taken against them - ever. Indeed, some of the same mosques have recently been visited by government ministers. Nobody on the progressive Left wants to hear about or acknowledge it
