Asian woman are 2X as likely to die. I wish Sophy had said that and let’s see what Claire says when it’s her own community. Tooamy people are comfortable throwing black people under the bus. This exchange was abysmal.
Rest in Power, Kanya King. Always greeted me with a smile, & somebody who truly understood the importance of persevering and documenting culture. It’s not lost on me the conversations we’ve had this week on Black culture and protecting it, that today, we lost a bastion of that.
There are not enough words that can fully encapsulate the impact of someone so committed to the profiling and uplifting of Black music in this country.
Ms Kanya's legacy is one of such cultural and community significance that it shall be known across many generations.
RIP.
@WestminsterWAG This is an incredibly antisemitic thing to reply to a Jewish man who wants to ensure prosecution for individuals who may have committed war crimes. You are comparing him to a Nazi.
You are beyond shameless.
Professor Avi Shlaim: "Anti-zionism has nothing to do with antisemitism. But Israel and its friends have deliberately... conflated anti-zionism with antisemitism in order to discredit critics of Israel, in order to smear them"
"NHS staff could be barred from wearing.. pro Palestinian symbols on their uniforms.. [this] is one of several recommendations in a review into antisemitism.. within the NHS"
This isnt about tackling antisemitism. Its about cracking down on any display of support 4 Palestinians
There is no comparison - literally none! - with this tweet.
The original is deleted, but it was a video of a Black man defending himself after he was falsely accused of stealing his own car.
I was describing what I saw. I wasn't inciting "pure, cold rage" after a murder!
A white man raped a Sikh woman, thinking she was Muslim.
A white man murdered a Saudi student.
Imagine I used my platform to urge the public "respond with pure, cold rage."
Every single right-winger would accuse me of incitement and demand that I was arrested.
@SangitaMyska@ZackPolanski@ZacGoldsmith So @ZacGoldsmith - you think British citizens who commit war crimes should not be put on trial?
Just a reminder that the IDF are carrying out a genocide.
And for your assistance, THIS is what human trash sounds like👇🏾
@SangitaMyska@ZackPolanski@ZacGoldsmith Yes, he did.
And when he did, his campaigners distributed leaflets targetting Hindus and suggesting that Sadiq Khan might tax their dowry gold as well. https://t.co/s8D8mmbaDT
This so depressing.
Zac Goldsmith has just called Zack Polanski “human trash”
Just a reminder: Goldsmith once ran to be London Mayor.

Last year, my friend Hasan Piker addressed the Oxford Union. He spoke cogently (https://t.co/UQCKLCjKpH) on the rise of antisemitism, fascism and the dangerous conflation between antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
This coming Friday, The Econoclasts (that is, Wolfgang Munchau and I) were to host him at a live event at the Kings Cross Town Hall.
Alas, the Starmer government decided to ban Hasan from entering the UK. Why? Without even saying so explicitly, they hinted at Hasan's... antisemitism!
Join the club Hasan - your ban brings back memories of two years ago when I was banned from entering Germany for the hideous crime of organising, alongside German Jews, a conference on the ultra-subversive topic of the 'A Just Peace in the Middle East'.
These days, it seems, you are banned as an antisemite if you oppose the Palestinian genocide and the ideology that drives it.
And, as Freddie tweeted just now, your being silenced leaves those who purport to value free speech above all else utterly unperturbed.
Such are the 'interesting' times we are enduring...
British prison authorities are forcing a pro-Palestine activist with a disability to “crawl” around jail because they won’t give him a suitable wheelchair.
“They’re quite literally treating me as if I am just some wounded animal and I'm not. I'm not worthy of any dignity.”
When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.
Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."
