Wait a minute.....so it is definitely not safe to have Maccabi Tel Aviv fans to come and visit your football ground in the middle of the one of the biggest multicultural cities in England. I think we can put this argument to bed now. *eye rolls*

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

Tommy Robinson told police ‘not a chance bruv’ when asked for mobile pin. He had more than £13,000 and 1,900 euros in cash with him, told officers he was driving his silver Bentley to Benidorm for a couple of days when he was stopped. As you do!

Being pro-Palestinian is not being anti-Jewish.
Just as being pro-Jewish is not being anti-Palestinian.
Irresponsible language and framing from the Home Secretary.
It is perfectly right that people both protest the Gaza genocide and mourn the Manchester attack.

“It is astonishing just how fully right wingers have come to dominate social media. The default for teenagers who are on the internet is for them to be sucked into a world where they are bombarded with content from Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate, Fuentes, Peterson.”

I try to resist doomerism, but I have to admit that hearing Gen Z "conservatives" describe their media diets made me want to walk into the sea. Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, etc. Ben Shapiro framed as a moderate. Bari Weiss as the go to for "liberal opinions."

Whenever you legislate for more powers, you shouldn’t think about what your government would do with them, but what a future bad (evil or incompetent - or both!) government might do with them.
So we're putting in a mass digital id database immediately before a potential Reform government that will use it to deport and brutalise millions of people?
Your local supermarket refusing to let you buy food without your id card in 2030 cos right to work checks morphed into right to eat checks.

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled.
Not hate. Not celebration of death.
Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known.
Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.
