Good. This sort of behaviour is disgusting. Whoever it’s aimed at. It will, less importantly, also be interesting to see how his fans square it with their bogus ‘free speech’ rhetoric & Reform’s canonisation of the despicable Lucy Connelly.

Nigel Farage called a by-election to prove he still has the people's support. Instead, the major parties dropped out, leaving his only opponent as Count Binface, a satirical candidate known for mocking British politicians.

GB News' Bev Turner being extremely weird about reactions to her downplaying the racist riots in Belfast (as 'not riots' and not far right), DMing journalists critical of her with personal insults and conspiracy theories.
Narinder Kaur tweet text):

Look at this vile message @beverleyturner sent me.
(After I posted the video of her denying the riots in Belfast)

This from a woman who sits in America (where are your kids Bev?)
...working for possibly the most divisive and least credible channel in Britain.

Someone who knows t my job, my life or my circumstances felt entitled to make sweeping assumptions and lecture me from a position of supposed moral authority?!
The "I wish you luck and good fortune" ending would carry more weight if it wasn't attached to a paragraph of personal insults!!

It's a bit like throwing a brick through someone's window and signing the note "warm regards."

Message in pic 2Bev Turner message, 2:22pm)

Narinder think harder... this frenzy about Belfast is designed to nudge us into panic so that the government can clamp down on dissent and free speech... that's what I was getting at with stadlen. My advice would be that you get a proper job that does not rely on you trying to forment hate and division... can't be much fun sitting watching social media to see what might get you a hit on a news channel. Be well. I wish you nothing but luck and good fortune.

Military strikes on water facilities in Iran may constitute a war crime, experts say
Strikes on Bemani damaged key water reservoir for 20,000 people living in area amid a historic drought in the country * Middle East crisis – live updates Military strikes that damaged two water storage facilities in southern Iran may constitute a war crime, military and legal experts say, after reviewing media reports and visual evidence of a 10 June strike on Bemani, a small district about 2 miles from the strait of Hormuz. It’s unclear if the strikes deliberately targeted the district’s water tanks, or if they unintentionally destroyed a key reservoir for about 20,000 people living nearby. But if the tanks were the target, then the legal question becomes critical, Brian Finucane, a former state department lawyer, said. “It’s either a military objective or it’s a civilian object: attacking one is lawful, attacking the other is a war crime,” Finucane said.

This is how communities show up for each other. Do read this by Nicola Browne from Act Now👇
Highlighted text:

A group of literally hundreds of people has sprung into action, coordinating, donating, providing lifts for families to get somewhere safe for the night, bringing food to those who don’t want to leave the house, offering shelter, car seats, toys and arts supplies for children. Ordinary people from every background, community and colour are carrying out thousands of acts of care and repair, looking after people they do not know, and showing clearly that none of this is in their name.
