It turns out that if you import millions of people who are taught to hate Jews their entire lives your country becomes less safe for Jews. Who could have predicted this?

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

Here we damn go again...

But never forget that according to the Guardian comment section, attacks against Jews are mere “small acts of petty symbolism”

And for Zack Polanski there is a discussion to be had about whether these racist acts of violence are simply a "perception"

Such a great time to be Jewish, truly

okay, but is anyone going to apologize for forcing us to undress with him 18 times a week? 🤔

How are we protecting them? Please explain? It is the defences of the UAE, Israel and the US who are defending them, not Britain.

If they live and work in the UK, they will pay taxes like the rest of us.

And of course if people like you stopped taxing Brits to death, fewer people would go to Dubai in the first place.

Yours is not a serious party.

[Douglas Murray @DouglasKMurray]

Excellent to hear that Birmingham is finally making a stand against ‘hostile vehicles’. These vehicles have been a problem for some time. Often at risk of radicalisation.

[Dominic Frisby @DominicFrisby]

That’ll sort it.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

Because the Ukrainian refugees are mostly women and children, registered and invited, fleeing for their safety. They have integrated and contribute positively to the homes and communities they have moved to. Most want to return when it is safe to do so.
As opposed to vast numbers of (almost exclusively) young men of military age, unknown, unchecked and illegal, and from societies where visceral hatred of (or at best contempt for) western values is absolutely mainstream.

[Madeline Grant @Madz_Grant]

Relieved to hear that the Chancellor is only "asking" us to pay more. Presumably, we can just say no

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

Thanks to @thetimes for highlighting the true cost of a pint - the main beneficiary is Govt with £2 in a £5 pint being paid in tax to fund vital public services.

But with just 2p left over, the pub landlord is literally #TaxedOut

@VinnyBonsignore @Chiefs @Raiders Out played. Out coached. Stupid penalty after stupid penalty. Worst thing is you didn't expect anything else. So predictable.

Somewhere in this story, there's a joke about turkeys advocating for Christmas.

Imagine leaving X because it was too ‘toxic’ only to end up celebrating a man’s murder on a different platform.

This is what happens when the cretinous dogma of ‘public health’ academics who believe that companies control what people eat and individuals have no agency becomes institutionalised. https://t.co/aigqrF4Ect

John McGarva.

Remember that name.

The judge who single-handedly revived blasphemy laws in Britain and wound back the enlightenment.

Policeman in an induced coma and two people dead, including a 17 year old stabbed in the chest, during mostly peaceful celebrations. https://t.co/48P2AWj7uF
