Semi-relatedly “self hating Jew” is such a funny insult towards anti Zionists. Like sure, kind of, but the self-hatred and the Jewish heritage are pretty much unrelated

Honestly fair play to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for going to the Board of Deputies hustings last night and not giving an inch on Palestine. He knew it would be a hostile environment and stuck to his guns. Contrast to the Labour candidate to was empty chaired at the Camden Muslim Network hustings.

And I would echo the sub headline, it's same in Bristol. w/o the cops these fascists would not be able to even show up. They complain abt two tier policing but the reality is the ONLY way they are able to march in Bristol or demonstrate outside of hotels is thru police supporting them with violence

Important piece and I would add that this has been our experience in Bristol as well. Time & time again Bristol has shown we don't want fascists on our streets & intimidating refugees. Cops however seem determined to use batons, boots, horses & pava spray to force marches where they are not welcome

That’s why unions are good for everyone, not just the represented members. Employers are about to find this out at Brighton and I hope it’s a hard lesson.

I know all university leaders hate trades unions but at Brighton they’re about to find out what happens when their workforce doesn’t have a structure and negotiating team to represent them and to head off trouble. It won’t be pretty. Employees won’t submit - they’ll resist in unpredictable ways.

Our social housing staff are being targeted by this. Offices are getting more security, having slurs thrown at them, being smeared and jacketed with all sorts of horrible things because they... provide the people of Glasgow with affordable homes via a process that is fully transparent.

There will be people who jumped on this bandwagon who distance themselves from Cofnas' views while arguing they were in the right to be jumping on board. They're wrong and the broader pattern of band wagonning here is not unprecedented and needs to be responded to so it can't happen again.

I think it’s just worth remembering that as the media handwring to justify publicly humiliating and hounding a man to death, just two weeks ago they gave glowing eulogies to another man with a history of domestic violence and brushed off his own statements about having pedophillic impulses

A few things you can never talk about in UK media: nations are recent social inventions, and were a bad idea; 'borders' are not physical boundaries, but capricious, arbitrary violence by the state against innocent people; people born elsewhere are inherently as valuable as people born nearby
