An elected representative of your own party, @RosieDuffield1, was advised by police not to attend Labour conference because of the physical risk to her from trans activists. You did nothing. You showed her no support, You criticised her for stating biological facts.
At Glastonbury yesterday, a band called for “inshallah, from the river to the sea.” The crowd cheered. When I hear that phrase chanted with joy, I feel fear and - whoever you are - so should you.
Most people don’t understand what it means. But it’s been used for decades by those who want to erase Jews from where their language, faith & indigenous culture began. A place that was meant to offer refuge when the rest of the world shut its door.
I’ve spoken out against injustice & unbearable loss. I’ve made work about the ‘Nakba’ & the ongoing trauma of Palestinians.
But “from the river to the sea” doesn’t call for peace.
It calls for a world without Jews. You can stand for Palestinian rights without denying Jewish ones. You can oppose a government without wishing away a people. If your activism leaves no room for someone else’s safety, grief or history it’s not activism. It’s hate.
C’mon @UKLabour@Keir_Starmer@AngelaRayner@SteveReedMP please get a rock solid pledge in your manifesto that assures us that you would put a complete end to this unspeakable barbarity once and for all . If you want our votes we want a promise to protect our wildlife . Please RT
Note for police! On Celebrity Hunted I hid in Richmond Park.Then a stranger drove me to the south coast.I hid under a large bass guitar at Dire Straits’ John Ilsley’s house. Then he took me in his speed boat to the Isle of Wight where I hid under some garlic. You’re very welcome.
Sad day, but I think it's time #Folkestone#bannatynes put up "please no swearing" signs in the sauna area. I feel embarrassed for other users hearing "F this and C that" constantly in what is a public space. Its become the norm and unacceptable @DuncanBannatyne
