Maysaa and her daughter Maria were laid to rest at St. Porphyrius Church after an Israeli strike on their Gaza City home killed them on 2 October. According to statistics, Gaza's Christian community was 1,017 before the start of Israel’s genocidal war in 2023, but has since decreased by 40%

Nasty Kemi, to Laura K , ‘25% of UK population are classed as disabled’ And she argues to get them working . Kemi, read the HoC report : 45 % are 65 or over ….. are you asking them to get a job ? Get your facts straight you fool . A appalling lack of detail or fact in your arguments .

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

'The police used mounted officers at Aldgate to beat back the crowds onto the pavements but thousands more were streaming into the area. Four sympathetic tram drivers strategically abandoned their vehicles to help block the road to the fascists.'

‘Down with the fascists!’ chants were heard across East London as the police clashed with the community blocking their way. Communists, Jews, Irish dockers, trade unionists all united under the chant ‘They Shall Not Pass!’

'As the police could not get through the crowds towards Whitechapel, Mosley decided to change the route and head down narrow Cable Street, that ran parallel to his original route. The Blackshirts were headed up and flanked by the Metropolitan Police as they headed into Cable Street.'

UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City's punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League's actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City's Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

Irish Jews are Irish. They are as Irish as I am. Attacking them is not only antisemitic it’s deeply anti-patriotic & disgraceful. It’s also extremely dangerous for society. Fortunately the Irish far right is proportionately one of the smallest in Europe. It has less than 1% in polls.

What scares me about this, & I know scares many Irish Jews, is that the far right are rabidly antisemitic [as my reports to YouTube show] & by colluding with Israel [pic] in ‘talking points’ makes Irish Jews unsafe. There is antisemitism in Ireland, but compared to other W Euro countries it’s low.

This is an incredibly important point. Every time I've warned of fascism or dictatorship, people have laughed and said that full-blown dictatorship has obviously not arrived. But that's often not how it arrives, fully garbed. It arrives thru steady erosion of norms that you barely notice are gone.

The entire edifice of "sex-based rights" is an absurd moral and legal fiction wearing feminism's stolen clothes--and it seems this group of people promoting "Christian Rights" are trying a similar trick. The UK has fertilised itself for this perfidy with its own bullshit. Democracy is at risk.
