It really isn’t normal for media outlets to hound minor public figures to death, just for fun, because they can. That really is a Just Britain thing.

If you find yourself eulogising Rod Liddle in any way that uses words and phrases like "complicated" "controversial" "marmite" or "not to everyone's taste" you need to fuck off and have a serious word with yourself. If you also happen to be a journalist or media commentator then you're a fraud.

If the nominally left party is *roared* to power by all of this country’s most savvy, liberal Sensible Moderates and it immediately sets into a programme of extremely aggressive, belligerent Powell-esque flag-humping and anti-migrant crackdowns, then I don’t think we can blame that on nasty Nigel.

And it's those who are protesting in solidarity with Palestine who are taking part in "hate marches" apparently.

The hollow cynicism of this entire farce can be instantly laid bare by simply asking what specifically Farage and Reform UK have done to support the fight against antisemitism – because I'll be honest, I don't follow developments in that party beat-by-beat, but this claim is certainly news to me.

Michael Wegier, executive director of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told Haaretz that Reform UK “is a serious party with many supporters, local councillors, and an increasing number of members of Parliament from month to month, which cannot be ignored. They have also expressed very broad support for the fight against antisemitism. There was no way we would not invite them.”

He added: “We did not invite the Greens’ Zack Polanski because we very strongly do not believe he has done enough to root out antisemitism from his party.”

Watching BBC coverage of AMWs arrest; journos and presenters discussing the tactics and maneuvers the King/RF need to make in order to protect themselves. Talk of the Epstien Files "infecting the Firm". Will these people ever ask "What are we trying to protect here, exactly?"

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

Not "extremes". ONE extreme. There are no front-line governing politicians in the USA, UK or most other places promoting Stalinism. And it is not extreme to be wholeheartedly in favour of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.

I've come across people who maintain friendships with the objectively fucking awful, e.g. actual Neo-Nazis. The rationale being "he's no bother, we just don't talk politics". TBF I can see how the subject of other people's basic humanity might make a game of scrabble more tense than it needs to be.

If "they had a family" or "They were a Christian" are the best you can come up with in response to examination of a person's character, that should probably give you pause for thought.

When people tell you that Israel is a democracy, they are also telling you that they don't view Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as disqualifying it from that classification. In other words, they are effectively telling you that they view Palestinians as sub-human.

Everybody with power continues to behave as though they’ve got no idea what this is, nor that they have any way of finding out. Meanwhile, the perpetrators appear to be under no illusions, acting with complete operational clarity and a belief in their own impunity.

@gazanotice • 11h
An Israeli soldier in Gaza proudly posted a story from one of the U.S. Israeli backed death traps, aiming a sniper at starving Palestinians seeking aid.

Beneath is a photograph, shot through a sniper rifle’s reticle with a cluster of dozens of Palestinian civilians clearly visible in the sight. The image surrounding the reticle frame has been blurred for operational security, to prevent the sniper’s location from being identified.
