Any normal media: It is our duty as journalists to hold power to account, especially when power denies democracy.

Scotland's media: Hahaha! Britain will just say no even if you get the votes and you don't have a plan! Hahaha! He doesn't even have a plan! Hahaha!

Ridiculous posturing by some MPs on refusing to approve guidance on Supreme Court ruling. This is the law and if they want to change the law campaign on that. This is an absolute waste of time , performative echo chamber stuff .

Reporter of China State Television CGTN, broadcasting in front of Gaza Shifa Hospital:

"I saw with my own eyes that there were at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of 5 without heads."

Mujeres palestinas enfrentaron a los colonos sionistas en la aldea de Al-Mughayyir, en Cisjordania, que junto a soldados del ejército de "Israel", las acosan y las agreden para que abandonen sus tierras y así poder robárselas.

La valentía de las mujeres palestinas ante el acoso sionista, verdaderas mujeres empoderadas que luchan por su tierra.

[Mohammad Alsaafin @malsaafin]

There was a point, 3 yrs ago, when Israel felt compelled to explain its attacks on hospitals. Then it realized Western govts aren’t fussed about such war crimes & Western media was happy to justify them. And so here we are: dozens of hospitals bombed in Gaza, Iran & Lebanon.

7 June 2017 - SNP closes down "ringfenced" indyref2 fundraiser with proceeds of £482,000.

1 Dec 2017 - SNP pays off £500,000 of debts to Chris and Colin Weir, leaving it with only £8,000 in the bank.

Quite a coincidence, eh?

@CraigMurrayOrg You're a "nasty old man". I wonder in what order of opprobrium those three faults would be placed.

[David Halliday @DavidJFHalliday]

This is the key point. It's the *lackeys* who should be pressed to explain themselves. Too many on a group-thinky NEC self-lovingly told themselves they were the goodies in a "culture war" and their animosity to the basket of deplorables asking questions completely blinded them.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Operation Branchform was launched in July 2021. Months after those raising questions about SNP finances were monstered by Sturgeon & her lackeys at the March 2021 NEC & months after she John Swinney & others said there was nothing to see. Don’t be fooled. Facts matter @bbclaurak

[David Halliday @DavidJFHalliday]

It feels like the establishment part of the SNP NEC decided that the rest were enemies in a culture war so any concerns they raised could only be a bad faith part of that war. That's the result of the blinkered "culture war" analysis. It lets you dismiss people as enemies.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

She is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. She is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction should be perfectly intelligible to anyone except the disingenuous.

“Targets Hamas”

The BBC is still justifying bombing hospitals.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

BREAKING: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Abu Falah in the West Bank, setting fields on fire. When fire trucks arrived to extinguish the blaze, the Israeli army blocked them and prevented them.

Residents were attempting to put out the fires with blankets.

@Glinner @paddyjogorman "Hate" (n.): something with which I disagree where I know I can't give any persuasive reason why.

[David Halliday @DavidJFHalliday]

Britain's young people have a jobs and mental health crisis. The Netherlands' have nothing like the same. And - quelle surprise - it's nothing to do with the surveillance and censorship by stealth involved in the easy and lazy scapegoating of social media. https://t.co/lU2Dycqv8L

[David Halliday @DavidJFHalliday]

@TheIndyNinja1 There is one broadcast journalist whose piece to camera from the steps of the court I will never forget. They were furious. They were almost vibrating with the tension of containing that fury. They had come for a hanging and had been deprived of it. I've never seen the like.

[David Halliday @DavidJFHalliday]

All Scottish political "journalists" then: "Sean Clerkin's a nutter. Joanna Cherry's a transphobe. Wings is a hate-merchant. Please move on."

All Scottish political "journalists" now: " How oh how can no-one have spotted anything? It's unbelievable! Continues pages 2 - 23."

“Israel told residents to leave” is an insane way to describe ETHNIC CLEANSING.

[David Halliday @DavidJFHalliday]

@michaelbruce543 It's a paradigm of ad hominem.

“We were tortured. I was put down, cable tied, they put so much water under me for an hour that I thought I was going to drown. I was sexually assaulted in this kind of torture chamber... We had people who were tasered in the face. People were syringed with unknown sedatives.”
