We are absolutely heartbroken that this is how low Britain has sunk. This horrific act truly plumbs new depths.

Hatzola is a volunteer-run ambulance service run by the Jewish community but catering to everyone, Jews and non-Jews alike, working with the NHS to save lives as fast as possible. They provide outstanding medical care at lightning speed every hour of every day, and fundraise to buy ambulances and equipment. They are truly a shining example of the Jewish community coming together to help everyone in the most fundamental of ways by giving the gift of life.

Burning their ambulances in an attempt to put them out of action is a truly repulsive act of antisemitic hatred in a Britain where Jews now have to keep everything from schools to synagogues under constant guard. Our society has become infested with the sickness of antisemitism.

In this case it is not only about catching the perpetrators and restoring the ambulances, but about politicians accepting that by tolerating everything from hate marches to hate preachers, they have created this sickening mess, and time has run out for them to act. The law must change, fast, but so must society.

The people spewing obsessive conspiracy theories about Jews, Zionists and Israelis are not social justice warriors, they are hateful bigots who are feeding this madness and must be stood up to and told as much by ordinary decent people.

The same old feeling, *sigh*. Still, much more confident the O’s will bounce back next season that what happened after the 2014 play off final …

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssss! (Collapses in exhaustion)

WE’VE DONE IT!! 🙌

Four successful spot-kicks are enough to beat Stockport County, and the O’s are going to the play-off final! 😍

COME ONNNNNNN!

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Happy New Year! It’s tricky doing the hootenanny with a kid, I tell you!

Fascism has come to America, and as predicted, it is wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

We just better hope Trump is too lazy to do the stuff he’s actually promised.

[Andy Routledge @drewalmighty]

I don’t know if I can go through all this again. I have a kid now. I worry what sort of world she’ll grow up in. A second Trump term has consequences globally. Last time, I was angry and scared. Now I’m just tired and scared. The world has gotten a bit darker again.

If you think it’s bad having a cat that doesn’t understand that the clocks have gone back this morning, try two cats and a 5 month old baby 😅

I personally welcome our new German overload and the reaction it’ll get from the gammon segment.

Yikes. Before my wife became pregnant, we had tickets for one of those shows. Had to sell them when it became clear the little one was arriving. A scary sliding doors moment …

Working in digital advertising, may I just say … HAHAHAHAHAHA. You can’t just sue cos a client doesn’t want to advertise. You made the platform so brand-unsafe that no one wants to put ad spend into your platform. The market spoke. Isn’t your boss supposed to be into that shit?

Just because you’re loud doesn’t mean you’re popular. The thugs on Britain’s streets last night tried to shriek and bully us into thinking they had a majority on their side, when the only thing they had on their side was bricks. The rest was noise. They’re a tiny fraction of a country that’s much bigger and more generous than they’ll ever be.

The wife and I watching the #olympics fencing.

“Oh my god, this is so tense!”

“You mean, oh my en garde”

My wife is divorcing me and I’ve lost custody of my daughter.

Worth it for the pun.

Got to say, the torch ballon is ingenious, but vulnerable to a sniper … or a stray pigeon … #Paris2024
