At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said:
"It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)"
"It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country"
"It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority"
If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong.
Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.
@HonestReporting@NickKristof You cannot conclude someone was ‘jailed for incitement’ when they never even faced trial. What is this bs platform?? This thread is psychopathically inhumane.

This is a serious problem. It’s proven that fear, hate and lies often beat and truth in today’s marketplace of ideas. 👉 How do we fight this, without censorship?
@MathildaMall turned to the great mind of @acgrayling for answers. But please share more, if you have them!

I fight for better because my treatment was appalling. The work I do, is to ensure the women who come (inevitably) behind me, get justice and are treated better. Being recognized gives me a boost to keep going. We can make change collectively.
So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

When @MediaStormPod investigated the issue of court transcripts, they collected data regarding profits of the companies that are providing transcripts for victims in the England and Wales. This proved what we had assumed all along. Companies are profiting hugely.
An excellent article in @BylineTimes by @MathildaMall and @helenawadia
"Between India and Pakistan, nuclear war would mean “the end of human civilisation as we know it”. Between the US and Russia, nuclear war might mean “the extinction of our species”."

It appears there’s been yet another attempt to prevent a woman of colour in public life - this time @SayeedaWarsi - from sharing her side of the story with the public. On this occasion, it seems it didn’t work.

My friend Natasha has been missing for 7 days
She is 55 yr old transwoman, last seen in Soho on Friday at 2am wearing a white Chanel suit.
I am asking if any editors or publications would be up for reposting or perhaps covering a small news story about her disappearance 🙏
