How interesting that hate crime against Muslims in the UK has increased by 20% in the last year. Not a mention of hate crime against Jews. Makes you wonder whether the recent faux outrage at supposed nationwide anti-Jewish attacks was in fact…..a lie.

Wonderful animals, lovely programme. And a great job by Steve Backshall, speaking up for the scandalously maligned badger. A must-watch.

Donald Trump tries to smear Greta Thunberg for Israel.

“She's a troublemaker, she has an anger management problem, I think she should see a doctor she's so crazy.”

He's only making everyone love her more.

Paul Phillips @mrponbss.bsky.social · 2d

Wow, just as well that the country is running like a well-oiled machine, so that Starmer has the time to f*ck around with people’s right to peacefully protest. The vilification of ‘the left’ - people who care, who oppose injustice, who feel empathy - is a creation of politicians and the MSM.

How DARE Starmer accuse pro-Palestine supporters of a lack of empathy for protesting against Israel’s ongoing genocide?! He knows nothing of empathy - where is the outrage against the slaughter of 67,000 Palestinians?! Disgraceful and disgusting - the absolute height of hypocrisy.

Gary Lineker is a legend, he spoke out when no one else on TV would.

Zohran Mamdani tells CNN:

"If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honour the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him, just as I would against Putin. He is responsible for the genocide in Gaza.”

It must be nice to have a PM that can see past the tired rhetoric of “release the hostages” (or in Starmer’s case “release the sausages”), and “we don’t target civilians”. Oh, by the way, that’s 65,000, not 60,000. Still, 👏👏👏 to the Spanish PM.

Jesse Myerson @jessemyerson.bsky.social · 17d

The Spanish PM said this at Columbia University yesterday:

“Defending your country is one thing. But killing 60,000 civilians, bombing hospitals, and starving children to death is something else entirely.”

“We are witnessing one of the darkest tragedies of the 21st century unfold before our eyes.”

Now I’m confused! Is it Kirk, clit, or Clirk?! As for the racist MF who got the tattoo, it goes without saying that he won’t remember who or what the f*ck any of the three options are in 40 years or so. 🤪

JonZoidberg @jonzoidberg.xyz · 18d

I'm confused. I was told that Charlie Clit stood for freedom of speech and love. Now you're telling me Charlie Clirk stood for white supremacy? Say it ain't so.

Seriously, thanks for advertising your mental deficiencies.

A Twitter post saying

My husband got a tattoo of Charlie Kirk. We stand with you charlie clit! We won't back down!! White power! RIP CHARLIE CLIRK! WE ARE CHARLIE KIRK!

Utter bullshit of course, but it will sow doubt for some people. Just remember that it was this idiot who suggested that drinking bleach would cure Covid. Insane.

No mention of it being totally immoral then? 🤨

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · 18d

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.

So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

The IDF are saying that they “go to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties”. 65,000 dead. It’d be laughable if it wasn’t so obscenely cynical. We’ve known for almost two years that it’s genocide. It’s not enough that the UN recognised this - DIRECT, DESTRUCTIVE ACTION AGAINST ISRAEL NOW! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Kneecap @kneecapceol.bsky.social · 24d

Today a UN Commission found:

“Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide.”

And he was welcomed to London like a King.

Fuck Keir Starmer.

Kier Starmer and Israeli President Isaac Herzog

In 2018 Jeremy Hunt bought 7 flats in a single transaction, paying around £3.57 million for the lot. Buying 7 in one go avoided about £300,000 in stamp duty. If your kids can't find homes to buy near you, blame people like Hunt, not desperate people running for their lives.
