The Security Council gather to decry the actions of Israel. To ensure rules of law are applied to those committing rape and murder. Be nice if this was all over the media. I won’t hold my breath @BBCRadio4

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Curse of private equity

Horrific, unregulated, and very profitable. Companies making cash from England’s children in care.

Average charge to the state by a private provider for a child in “care” is £384,020 a year, some charge £1m+.

End privatisation.

@Mr_NickClarke Is there a ranking for worst developer?

It seems Ballymore might be outright winner

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.

He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.

Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.

@DerbyChrisW @SeanLon60883887 @LordJohnMann @wesstreeting @BBCNews giving the opinions of Lord Mann airtime is an endorsement of his opinion if the interviewer doesn’t bring the opposing viewpoint or question his views.
But no surprise as @BBCRadio4 have continued to litter their journalism with ‘Israel says…’
Trust in the bbc is dead

POLÊMICA NA FIFA! 🚨🇳🇴

A Federação Norueguesa de Futebol pediu que o Comitê de Ética da FIFA investigue a própria entidade após a concessão de um prêmio da paz a Donald Trump.

A federação questiona a decisão e quer esclarecimentos sobre os critérios utilizados para a homenagem.

I was a prison officer, Nick. You can't preach "tough on crime." Your lot cut nearly 7,000 prison officers since 2010 and handed our jails to G4S and Serco. You broke the system, then act shocked it doesn't work.

You know what actually works? Lads out on licence getting their track tickets, learning a trade, coming home as taxpayers instead of reoffenders. That's using human capital, not warehousing it. A lad sat in a cell doing nothing helps nobody.

And funny how quiet you all go on the tax dodgers and the oligarchs bankrolling Putin's war. Boris took a Russian ex-KGB man's hospitality at his Italian villa, dodged his own officials, then made the son a Lord. Where's your "lock them up" energy for that?

“When is the British government going to impose sanctions on Israel for its endless violations of international law?”

Surely this will provoke some strong feelings? Brexit was an absolute disaster and bad actors continue to control our political system

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

This is indeed a superb letter from The Astronomer Royal of Scotland. “Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why.” I agree - my colleagues in particle physics have also tried, without success, to discover who owns the decision to damage physics research in the UK, perhaps irreparably, at a time when our economy desperately needs the skills and knowledge we develop and teach. @UKRI_News need to get a grip urgently and fix the problem someone, somewhere, has created.

It seems impossible to alter the beliefs of those indoctrinated in hate. Therefore, it is essential our government defines what is or isn’t acceptable

SUCCESS! – local people won the Aylesham case. Inspector dismissed the Berkeley appeal against refusal of planning permission. He cited English Heritage objection that it would be ‘an enormous wall of development, thus resulting in harm’. See more here: https://t.co/t2cGThc290

@Markhs @troovus @PoliticsJOE_UK Ah mark, these anti-Semitic allegations that you read about, did you ever question them? Or think that there could have been some self interest from the billionaire media owners?

Perhaps your view from Thailand prevents you understanding the wall to wall coverage Farage gets…
