British jews have been responsible for a huge proportion
of the BBC's best programmes

The current BBC management would not want to acknowledge this

Shame on them

[Lucie Kon @imluciekon]

Telling the story of what happened in my last years at the BBC has meant being honest about something I have found even harder to talk about.
After I raised a grievance about antisemitism, I was gradually isolated and denied more and more of the job I loved so much. The loneliness of that took a serious toll on my mental health. I became ill with anorexia, a recurrence of an illness I had when I was younger, but this time it came back with a vengeance. Each time I thought I was taking a step or two forward, something would happen at work that knocked me back.
I was ashamed, and at times I am not sure I was believed. I kept trying to explain that I was struggling. More than once I was told I wasn’t the only one. I felt like colleagues thought I was making it up.
Since February last year I have been admitted to hospital four times. The most recent admission, and I hope the last, was for three months over the summer. The NHS staff on that ward saved me.
I’m sharing this because if I was going to tell my story honestly, I had to tell all of it. Shame keeps people silent. Anorexia is an illness, not a choice and not a weakness, and no one who is this unwell should have to prove it.
Swipe for some of what I was told along the way.
@HadleyFreeman has also struggled with anorexia, and in her brilliant piece in The Sunday Times she writes about our shared experience. Thank you, Hadley.

What would happen if football fans this afternoon blocked the roads and pavements, ignored the police and told them not to interrupt them?
There’d be police dogs and horses and truncheons.
These ridiculous self-reverential, virtuous and entitled fools could “support Palestine” in any number of legal ways but think the law shouldn’t apply to them.
Pathetic.

Thank you to everyone who has been in touch since my interview with @gordonrayner in the Telegraph on Sunday, including so many former BBC colleagues. Some of you have told me you are going through something similar at work. You are not alone.

[Barry Warren @barry_warren]

@IntoMyPolitics @PolitlcsUK Sharp?
You're a commy racist idiot who wants to silence people for the sake of terrorist supporters!

And btw, you're also a rancid Jew hating antisemite.

It was good to see @newswatchbbc cover my story this morning and thank you @SamiraAhmedUK for presenting it. The piece focused in particular on the headline the BBC News website put on its report of my settlement, which appeared to question its size.
Watching, though, I was surprised to hear the BBC's statement that BBC News "cannot independently verify" the amount of the payment to "Ms Kon" (that's me).
If BBC News wanted to verify the size of the settlement, or any of its other terms, all it needed to do was ask. That includes the non-financial remedies, such as the agreement to restore my name to the end credits of the Oscar and BAFTA-winning @MrNobodyAgainstPutin and the other films it had been removed from. I would have been happy to share the relevant sections of the agreement. The BBC lawyer who signed it, as I did, might also have been able to help.
On Monday, an hour or two before the report was published, a senior BBC journalist called me about the story and the overall settlement. He asked if he could record the call, I agreed, and my recollection is that we discussed the details.
I don't want to dwell on this. I don't want to spend the rest of my life arguing with a former employer I still believe it was a privilege to work for. My focus now is to take what I've learned from all this, move on, find a new role and rebuild my life.
As I do that, I hope the BBC will heed this week's calls to do the same: to learn from my experience; to acknowledge the need for, and set up, an independent inquiry into not only how it treats its Jewish staff but how it reflects its Jewish audiences; and to move into a new Charter with commitments that are kept, so that in its second century the BBC is truly for everyone, its staff and its audiences alike.

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

Palestinians have less child malnutrition then almost any other land in the Middle East and even parts of Europe - a recently Unicef report found the child malnutrition rate is only a tiny bit worse than the U.K.
Hundreds of trucks of aid go into Gaza every day and Hamas is getting rich by twice skimming off the profits it makes from it (something shopkeepers in Gaza were striking about a few weeks ago).
This idea that aid is being blocked is worse than performative virtue signalling. It’s lies. Dangerous lies.

[Barry Warren @barry_warren]

@SorchaEastwood @amcarmichaelMP You're proud ....and a big idiot!

[Laura Trott MP @LauraTrottMP]

The vile comments on this post offer a snapshot of what Jewish people face daily. I’m not Jewish, but I’ve had a torrent of abuse since calling out antisemitism in schools. It’s not acceptable and these people are gross.
