Bari Weiss "is a self-described 'Zionist fanatic.' The idea that a 'neutral media organization' is led by someone who has a long history as a pro-Israel ideologue...is really worrying. I think there will be a lot more censorship of Palestinian voices." - me to Piers Morgan about CBS News and Weiss:

He didn't look "shaken up." Maybe disappointed that he didn't follow up on that jab.

From a Guardian article on climate change denial in the UK press

"Nevertheless, it is the Daily Express which has the worst track record, mixing ideological propaganda and inaccurate journalism."

I don't know in Bragg's lifetime when adults being invested in the England flag wasn't at best 'weird'. If not outright ominous.

What is he pining over?

Their current 'logic' seems to be that Cameron, May, and Sunak don't actually count as real tories.

What attracted you to the most reactionary option? It's clearly not going to help the country. It's definitely not going to help your party. So, to the short-term benefit of your own political career, then?

90% of Westminster-Fleet St discourse on the Gaza protests and the pro-Palestine movement more generally can be explained by the sheer desperation of guilty people to change the subject.

So he doesn't cite any actual examples of antisemitic chants at these peace rallies, which IF they did occur, I assume, would already be illegal under existing laws?

Meanwhile, he continues to supply ordnance to a genocide.

Exactly! When has that flag, outside of sporting events (and certainly not always then either), not been ominous when displayed by the general public?

Flag shaggers have always been at best, embarrassing. When weren't they.

A whole bunch of us have grown up in the UK knowing to flee in the other direction if we spot this flag anywhere. We’re not going to pause to see if there are stickers stuck below them.

And if they’re stuck elsewhere, we will not get close enough to see the text - again, we’re just going to leg it.
