I don’t want to be ‘that guy’ but the amount of spelling/grammatical mistakes in this article is crazy. Isn’t there a proof reader at The Echo?

It all comes from the top mate, sadly even this government is stoking the hate with the likes of their ‘island of strangers’ speech. I’ve never once identified as English purely because of this little Englander, racist mentality that has sadly somehow come back into ‘acceptability’ since Brexit 😡

Spent most of my childhood from those streets down to the vale mate, it’s diversity that has made that community what it is today. To see stuff like that being put up has massively pissed me off 🤬

Peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

As Israel’s bombs still fall on Gaza, Palestinians celebrate a ceasefire — a testament to their unbreakable spirit.

But peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

We will keep marching, boycotting, divesting and speaking out until Palestine is free — and until those who enabled this genocide are held accountable for their crimes 🇵🇸

Boca is in mourning after the death of its manager Miguel Angel Russo. Russo had been ill for a long time, but decided to coach to the last. Argentinian friends tell me he attended his final training session only two weeks ago. RIP.

I’d argue that the biggest threat is people being so stupid they don’t see him for what he is, which is a grifting, racist cunt.

The biggest single threat to the UK right now is Yaxley Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson
He's spreading hate, division + using fake stories
He thrives on lies,there’s no place for his poison in a civil society.
We must win the battle of ideas — and defeat his propaganda with truth. 🇬🇧

Just a reminder: Antifa isn’t a group — it literally means “anti-fascist.”

Wild that the people running the most powerful country on earth are such a bunch of clowns.

HIRONO: Did you approve closing the Homan bribery investigation?

BONDI: The DOJ & FBI conducted a thorough review and found no credible evidence of wrongdoing. You were also on video outside the WH protesting w/a group called Casa where antifa members were. Does that mean you're a membr of antifa?

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

There’s absolutely no difference between the man who attacked the synagogue & the men who attacked the mosque.
