12 arrests at last night's "peaceful protest" by pissed and coked-up dinlos in Gosport. Local politicians need to stop making excuses for this thuggery, and those, like Madgwick, who actually instigated and incited it, should receive the bill for policing it.

A valiant effort by Owen in downplaying a second leftwing project he joined having been taken over by crankism Of course, he's correct: the original Zionism did create a homeland at the expense of Palestinians. But the other basic point he's missing is that homeland exists and has done for 80 years
Owen Jones
@Owenjonesjourno

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people.
Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians".
It's really not hard to grasp this basic point! 10:32 pm -4Oct 2026 495K Views

Something I repeatedly find with far left politicians is that they seem to think that if they say the magic words "antisemitism has no place in our society" this frees them from doing anything tangible about the antisemitism right in front of their sanctimonious fucking faces.

Welcome to Toryland, where victory is inevitable. My SKETCH. thecritic.co.uk/welc...
The Tory leader has opened her party’s conference with so many sketchable interventions that it might be a deliberate bid simply to overwhelm satirists. There’s the 30,000-word tract on her beliefs whose 16 pages on the economy contain no mention of trade and a single allusion to Brexit — “I call it Kemistry,” she told the Sunday Times. There’s the 87-foot “Birmingham Tapestry”, which celebrates Badenoch’s endless triumphs of the past two years. There’s the amazing levels of confidence: in her opening address on Sunday, Badenoch confidently predicted election victory with David Steel-like brio.

Was any of this a touch previous? Well, in a party that was performing less well it might be, but these are the Conservatives, the party currently enjoying a 19% lead in the polls, predicted to win a majority of 130 at the next election. It’s no wonder that… hang on, I’m hearing that, apologies, those numbers should be “currently polling at 19% and predicted to win 130 seats.”

I think you can hold the position that nationalism is inherently racist but if your policy is Jewish Nationalism is racist but Arab Nationalism isn’t then your policy is racist.

I lost friends over antisemitism in Labour. I tried to argue that the fact that people on the right were trying to use antisemitism as a weapon against Labour (and they were, in bad faith) did not mean that antisemitism did not exist in Labour (it did). This argument still echoes.

I sometimes think Suella's real definition of Englishness is... White, English-speaking people with English-sounding names, and that she and other headbangers are just trying to put some kind of rules & genetic science around it. But it doesn't work. And it remains blatant racism.

I listened to Ed Davey on the Today programme this morning, and frankly, I think he missed the point. The idea that we're keeping the triple lock to help millennials is at best for the birds, and at worst downright insulting. I say that as a millennial.

Was about to employ an old-fashioned term as a joke but I felt sure it now has an alternative meaning and... bloody hell!
The term "rum cove" has a couple of meanings:

- It was historically used to describe someone who is odd or untrustworthy, often implying a bit of a rogue or cheat.

- In modern usage, particularly on the web, it has become a code phrase for incitement to kill, often used by people on the militant right regarding far-leftists.

Polanski’s “tax the rich” is the same as Badenoch’s “cut benefits”, a one-size-fits-all funding source that appeals to their prejudice but would never generate anything like the money they claim, and prevents them ever having to engage with serious politics

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.
