🚨Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita
"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
One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.
When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.
A moment the world must never forget.
Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.
Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.
Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.
This opens up a can of worms @NHSEngland
🔴Will poppies be banned?
🔴Will LGBTQ/Pride emblems be banned?
🔴Is a Palestinian flag with no text considered "political"?
🔴Why is a Palestinian flag considered to "anti Jewish hatred"? Is that idea not racist towards Palestinians?
🔴Will all flags, including Union Jack and St Georges Cross, be banned?
🔴Will Ukraine badges be banned?
🔴Will the Star of David be banned?
🔴Where is the line that constitutes what is "political" and what is not? Is a Keffiyah a political symbol?
🔴Can badges be worn on clothing on the way to and from work?
🔴If a Jewish person decides to wear a Palestine badge, is that Jewish person exhibiting "anti Jewish hatred"?
"Burnham declined to describe the catastrophe on the ground in Gaza as a genocide. 'I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester,' he said.
Why not? Don't you have a phone? Can't you read the UN reports & ICJ?
This "Aw shucks I'm just a smol bean Mayor trying to become PM" shtick about *a genocide* really demeans him and the voting public. Get a fucking backbone.
No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?
An unelected Lord, appointed “antisemitism adviser”, now feels entitled or even qualified to explain antisemitism to a Jewish national party leader.
To add to all this - he's not Jewish.
Truly rabbit hole stuff.
BREAKING: Four Palestine Action activists found guilty of criminal damage are applying to remove the judge in their case on the grounds of bias. Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson is expected to sentence them as terrorists – despite being convicted of an ordinary criminal offence – in a move kept secret from the jury
Iran have had to relocate their World Cup camp from the USA to Mexico.
Breel Embolo is still in Switzerland days after the team departed for the US, due to visa issues.
And a Somalia referee has been denied a visa.
Ladies & gentlemen, welcome to the Trump World Cup.
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
Rape with objects. Gang rape. Rape by trained dogs. Targeted genital shooting. Filmed. Photographed. Archived by the perpetrators. Across 12 named Israel detention sites.
The UN calls it a pattern. B’Tselem calls it a network of torture camps. Both are correct.
The BBC make me physically feel sick.
BBC News is running a strapline: "Israel and Lebanon agree ceasefire if Hezbollah stops attacks".
Which is astoundingly dishonest framing.
remember like a month ago when zach polanski retweeted a member of the public's concerns about police conduct and all of politics came screeching to a halt for the day to condemn such a wholly inappropriate political interference into operational policing?
It's wild to me that people can work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 60 years and still argue this is the best system humanity can come up with, while defending people who make their entire net worth in 30 seconds and insisting they shouldn't be taxed more.
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."
The human cost of Lucy Letby's likely miscarriage of justice is incalculable.
But we CAN have a stab at calculating the financial costs to date from publicly available figures.
And then ask, "is there a better way"? 🧵(1/13)
