Bloody Israeli Police anti-semites!
I wonder can/will Kier Starmer overrule them?

And poor little Tommy two-names will have had to find something else to do. Like going to church?

Well, I don’t have A-level English but, unlike Trump and others, I do understand the principle of double negatives. If you’re anti anti-fascists what does that make you?

A few thoughts about the #MaccabiTelAviv farrago
- Maccabi’s fans are notorious thugs and hooligans
- The UK has spent decades shaking off a history of football hooliganism
- A sensible operational decision was taken, based on intelligence
- This not ‘antisemitism’
- Tel Aviv is not even in Europe

Excellent points from Ash Sarkar on #bbcqt - privatisation and private equity involvement in what should be public services are bleeding our country dry.

I’m sick of hearing that ‘we can’t afford to take water companies back into public ownership’. Rot.
Most are in huge debt - THEIRs, not ours.
Cap prices, hold them to their obligations & fine breaches heavily. When they go bust, take them over free of cost and debt.

9th October and birds are eating the berries from the hawthorn. Which is, simultaneously, producing more flowers. Never seen that before. Any ideas?

Why aren’t the ‘angry brigade’ directing their ire at these profiteers who steal taxpayers’ cash and squirrel it offshore to avoid tax, rather than the boat refugees?

I guess this means we can expect the deployment of police protection to all mosques in the UK and a ban on displaying Israel flags.

The consensus view was that Keir Starmer's speech was his best yet. I think it was born of deep frailty.

I had hoped that after Netanyahu read out the names of all of the hostages in Gaza someone else would read out the names of all of the people that Isreal has killed in response. Every one. However long it took.
