A special mention has to go to the guy who upon seeing the Kenmure Street raid threw his bike & himself under the van preventing the Home office thugs from making a quick escape. He lay under there for 8 HOURS.

To Bike Man, you sir are a hero & your brave act inspires us all!

Whilst the @NHS is contemplating a ban on its staff wearing anything that shows humanitarian solidarity with Palestinians...

... it continues to be ok with employing staff who actively took part in what the UN, human rights organisations & legal scholars describe as #genocide.

[Des Henderson @desfilmsstuff]

I see an international cabal of grifters & racists are suddenly concerned about a crime in Belfast.

15 murders in Northern Ireland last year, including Adam Krzan (71) a polish man stabbed to death by Ryan Kerr… why no performative outrage? Why do Elon & Nigel not care? 🤔

@liamforisrael @TwtrMinstrel @scotsunsport What a disgusting individual you are

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

How is this not headline news all around the world?

Why aren't these images everywhere?

Imagine if this was an Israeli baby.

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

The "uninvolved civilian" Israel killed today is 7 months-old infant Sam Abu Haikal.

@EwenDCameron Is it the injustice of Lawrence Shankland scoring a goal after handball he's talking about ?

[Craig Paterson @Craig_P87]

@sreesub @ursushil_sharma @nexta_tv @grok No she won't

[zinah𓂆 @zhal80]

8 billion people in the world, yet no one hears their screams.

No one even speaks of our genocide in Gaza.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.

It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

NHS BUILT A SECRET OPERATION AGAINST ITS OWN CEO FOR REPORTING BULLYING

Dr Susan Gilby spent 32 years in the NHS. She became CEO of the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2018, a month after Lucy Letby was arrested, and steered it through a pandemic. She then reported the board chair for bullying. That was her mistake, apparently.

Chair Ian Haythornthwaite and three other senior figures quietly launched what they called Project Countess. Its goal was to remove her.

They purged hundreds of messages and documents to cover their tracks.

One of the Trust's directors took her to the pub and told her it was time for her to go.

He added that if she didn't agree to leave, they would start a process against her. Nobody told her what that process would be.

A tribunal judge found the Trust had built a sham case against Dr Gilby, manufacturing the appearance of performance and misconduct allegations, aimed at engineering her dismissal.

Staff at the Trust then accessed her work accounts while she was suspended and deleted tranches of emails.

Some of those emails were relevant to the Thirlwall Inquiry into Lucy Letby's crimes.

She was also offered a payout in return for silence. She called it utterly shocking and refused.

She was eventually awarded £1.4 million in damages, one of the largest payments the NHS has ever made to a former employee.

The total bill to the taxpayer, including court costs, is estimated at around £3 million. The Trust had refused multiple offers to settle the case earlier.

The Trust still refused to issue an apology.

The @thebma called it a landmark case and said whistleblower protections are woefully inadequate and not fit for purpose.

Dr Gilby said she feels sad, not triumphant. Sad for her career. Sad for her colleagues. Sad that it took this long for the truth to be told.

She went on record warning that sham investigations are routinely used to silence NHS whistleblowers. The Countess of Chester case just put a £3 million price tag on that fact. And nobody in charge has said sorry.

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

[Janet Abou-Elias @Janetabouelias]

The NYT describes Hezbollah drones "steadily hunting down Israeli soldiers and commanders... with often-lethal strikes" posted in "chilling videos."

Israel has killed 115x more people in Lebanon (3,433 vs. 29) since the start of the war. The drones get "chilling." The 3,433 Lebanese dead don't even get a mention.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.

Is the BBC Israel’s PR firm?

[RMT @RMTunion]

@KathyParr101 The current #tubestrike has nothing to do with pay, however, a decent pension in retirement should be the norm for all workers.
Punching down until we’re all left with nothing is a peculiar contemporary trait that will only lead to the return of the poor house and destitution.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

The situation unfolding right now is the perfect example of why the majority of the American people have either outright rejected or are at least requestioning the US-Israeli relationship.

Currently, there is an obvious divergence between the US interests and the goals of the Israeli government.

We desperately need a deal to end this disastrous war and save the global economy. Trump obviously wants that at this point and has already said Israel was forbidden from attacking Lebanon. (You may recall every pro Israel account on here claiming this as proof that Trump calls the shots). The ceasefire that the President of the United States of America wants depends on Israel not attacking southern Lebanon.

So, Israel announces they’re doing it. The best Trump can say is no boots on the ground and he won’t even hold on that.

This is a country whose very survival let alone ability to conduct any of these elective wars is completely dependent on US tax payer money, and support. We unconditionally support them even as they undermine our nation.

This is beyond intolerable. You can call all of us every name in the book but it’s just too obvious.
