Surely it would be better to discuss the UKs record arms sales to Israel. But no traitors more important than genocide.

I know I shouldn't, but hearing the French "scientist" on Today talking repeatedly about God and "The Big Bong" raised a big smile.
But what were they smoking in the #R4Today editorial office to call Michel Bollore a scientist? Here's his Google Scholar footprint. He's a business man.

I do judge any politicians by the content of their characters. Which is why I dismiss BadEnoch.

I have news for you mate the housing market is broken because people see property as investments, rather than homes leading to inflation in the market. If see you see property as investment then it should be taxed.

I don't get the fixation on skin colour- like Jenrick's comments on 'no white faces'. It's the least interesting & most superficial aspect of someone. From my new book: www.penguin.co.uk/books/458539...

But of course, as any good empiricist might predict, 3 days before the big #R4Today revelation, was the the #Mail creation.

Yoland Nell, the 'war' has not killed 10s of thousands Palestians, Israel has. A war implies parity of capability to cause harm - we know that is not the case in Gaza.

If the right accuse the left of something (terrorist sympathising, communism, antisemitism etc) the media will ask the left to defend themselves from that charge.

If the left accuse the right of something (racism, fascism, colonialism), the media will ask the left to justify that charge.

Anna Foster is still referring to the Gaza genocide as a “war”. Two years of our government arming an openly genocidal, right-wing regime engaging in an unhinged, vindictive killing frenzy and #r4today continues to justify this annihilatory violence.

How is this not disinformation from the BBC?

Someone needs to remind our Prime Minister that dissent is democratic and genocide is particularly worthy of protest.

People protesting Israel’s genocide understand the magnitude of American imperialism and its intrinsic link to broader patterns of systemic violence and oppression.
