Vandals

[@Hevallo Free Rojava & Rojhelat! @Hevallo]

The Kurdish Community, after 8 days of non-stop resistance were able to re-enter their community centre today only to discover the wanton vandalism of the @metpoliceuk who smashed doors and stole charity money and computers. The community centre's cat, 'Reso' looked traumatised by the whole affair! #HandsOffKurds

I’ll be performing some poems @thejagodalston on Sunday as part of this music therapists’ Gig for #Gaza. Hope you can come to raise money for families in Khan Younis refugee camp https://t.co/OCmCCQOGi0

@JulianSayarer @thejagodalston Thanks. Link works for me but music and poetry, Sunday 3-7pm at Jago is the TL-DR. Hope all good

This sounds like an Adolf Eichmann quote

[Police Spies Out of Lives @out_of_lives]

HN122 statement states: “In my view then and now, it was an honour to be thought capable of gathering intelligence because this was the pinnacle of Met police Special branch work”.

These #spycops lived (and still live) in a parallel universe.

Surely now you must owe an apology to Corbyn. Do you really still think his opposition to “the continuing dispossession of the Palestinian people”, was motivated by antisemitism?

@rapclassroom Interesting that Aaron Bastani is also now tweeting about the 'importance of English identity'

“used in the specific political context on Hussain’s placard, the term reaches for something meaningful about how a cohort of powerful rightwing brown and black politicians have conducted themselves in high office”

My latest exclusive interview for @thecanaryuk: In recent weeks, the presence of the far right in the North of Ireland has been thrust back into the spotlight, with the race riots & the anti-fascist response to them. I spoke to @GerryCarrollPBP from @pb4p https://t.co/JO4T0TrpZL

Met police obviously not too busy right now to pre-arrest some peaceful @reclaimthepower climate activists in Yorkshire https://t.co/zZrIlfsKf9

Massive response across the country to counter the hate "protests". The real Britain reasserting itself against the tiny minority trying to terrorise us. Highlights on this thread.

“We are can assure you the White-English are a tolerant people and that the vicious racism expressed in the riots, ‘bad apples’ of the police force or by editors and journalists of the mainstream media, are in fact the views of an extremist minority.” 2005 https://t.co/vqzifUzsq1
