@ejhchess@redrumlisa is it? Multiculturalism- as a core part of progressive neoliberalism- replaced the welfare state. The politics of recognition replaced the politics of redistribution. Not that controversial?
Don't let this cunt reinvent himself as some sort of firebrand crusader for Palestinian rights once he is out of office when he couldn't even bring himself to say that Israel is violating international law when he actually had power to do something.
Very absurd. The Kirpan is not the issue here, it was always about a violent, pathological man and policing that offers nothing but escalatory violence. Racist opportunism follows suit to those who continuous horn into a reactionary and reductionist critique of multiculturalism.
Re the Kirpan. During the big multiculturalism debates in the 2000s (which now seem quaint), Brian Barry systematically dismantled the idea of differentiated group rights; yet despite (imo) being demolished by Barry, Parekh’s ideas went on to shape British society & institutions
It's sick, its hypocritical, and its naked, exploitative opportunism. The left is doing itself no favours by being silent, refusing to comment, and hiding behind the family to avoid speaking out for Henry, and against the police. Its ceding the entire ground to bad faith actors.
This is what is so perverse about the right wing narrative on Henry Nowak's awful killing: our movement has been doing this work for *decades*. Ian Thomlinson, Henry Hicks, Tom Orchard. We've been here. The right only cares when they can politically capitalise to spread racism.
First Thornberry. Now this one.
They know a reckoning is coming, and they're scrambling to save themselves. But the archives don't forget - and they don't lie.
Justice for Henry Nowak. Justice for every person killed or left to die by police. And bun all the racists trying to use this poor lad's killing for their filthy, divisive ideologies.
We have always said: if you allow the state to treat some lives as disposable, it spreads like a contaminant everywhere. As cliche as it sounds in this climate, we should not allow our communities to be splintered or divided by opportunists: our interests are always connected.
ironic because a year ago, i delivered a speech at oxford union about the dangers of conflating judaism and zionism & how this foments antisemitism. since then the government has arrested pensioners for protesting against israel and let iof war criminals roam free!
🚨BREAKING: Children were devastated after their mother was killed in an intense Israeli strike on Gaza moments ago, which destroyed an entire residential block while they were out with her buying Eid clothes ahead of Eid al-Adha.
💢 Israeli strikes kill at least 9 in Maarakeh and Haboush on eve of Eid holiday
In the latest in a day of relentless Israeli bombardment across southern and eastern Lebanon, initial reports indicate at least 5 people were killed in Maarakeh, a coastal town near Tyre in southern Lebanon, and 4 more in Haboush, near Nabatieh in the country’s south, on Tuesday night, according to journalist Hala Jaber.
Lebanese Civil Defence teams are still searching beneath collapsed buildings for others trapped under the rubble.
Jaber shared videos of paramedics trying to resuscitate a critically wounded child as entire homes around him were reduced to rubble. Rescue workers dug through shattered concrete in the dark.
absolutely losing my mind that you have hundreds of international citizens who were been abducted, abused, some raped and tortured by Israel and… crickets in our news media. We are beyond “complicity” and ‘giving Israel impunity’ - its complete acquiescence and surrender.
Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.
Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.
@EleanoraStats poor form from you by bunching Shockat Adam with the likes of Adnan Hussein simply because he’s an independent? AFAIK- Shockat has not once spoken ill about trans people (happy to be proven wrong). This reeks of Islamophobia, some brown men do have a more widened politics yk.
