Unfortunately I've had to discontinue my old account for personal reasons, but I feel increasingly the need to have my voice counted in the chorus against fascism and extremism. This is my new account intended to allow me to do so.
My principles should be clear, but to be sure:
Unhinged, obsessive, deeply prejudiced and a pattern of behaviour going back years. Owen Jones is a thoroughly unpleasant individual with morally repugnant political views, at least they are now fully out in the open and not hidden behind an "all-out war".
So yes, I believe the report, because I went to the kind of school where there was only one Jewish schoolmate, who only told me they were Jewish a full decade after graduating because they were scared of our fellow classmates. This was 20+ years ago, it has gotten worse.
One of the kids in my inner-city London comprehensive came into school on September 11th 2002 with his white school shirt emblazoned with his bad felt-tip drawing of the Twin Towers getting attacked on the back with the words "Happy 9/11" on the front.
Didn't even get detention.
Lifelong Anti-Racist: Erm, actually, I think we should be legislating so that a 10 year old Jewish boy is bullied and held accountable for the actions of the State of Israel by his classmates.
@magi_jay Maps are fucking *awesome*. I have a massive weakness for really old ones especially. I also used to draw some (quite nice if I say so myself) fantasy ones when I was younger. I loved just sketching out worlds.
Have you seen this?

@DrinkSomePerks I'm honestly not sure you're sentient at this point.
What do you think the purpose of the word "irregular" is in the phrase "irregular military"?
"you try and make it seem they're on equal ground"
lol no I fucking don't, I've stated that. I just believe in logical consistency.
@noaskatz It's such an objectively reasonable and thoroughly non-genocidal thing to retweet even without your personal emotional context at that time too.
Every day I see some nonsensical assertion from someone like that anon and I find myself asking: why are people? Just - why?
Hamas sent several thousand armed men into the sovereign territory of another country to rape, murder, and kidnap. No country on earth would say "well, we beat the invaders back, forget the hostages let's call it a day."
Here's but one example, heavily implying that the Jewish foreign secretary is only faking concern at a report into antisemitism in British schools as a wink to Israel.
These people truly believe they are anti-racist while engaging in blatant racism.
