I asked a staff member "have the measurements changed recently?" and they said no, but that the enforcement was more stringent -- in other words, the guy was really chasing his €2.50 per bag commission fee for the sake of millimetres 👍
Just a reminder that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq War, an illegal war that killed over a million people.
He joined Labour Friends of Israel, called BDS “spiteful”, praised Israel as a “democracy”, described the Balfour Declaration as “British values in action”, and still refuses to call the genocide in Palestine a genocide.
Not wearing a suit, having a northern accent, and getting rid of a lectern doesn’t make you a radical alternative. He’s the establishment’s last roll of the dice.
Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem told Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo that the world is increasingly rallying behind Palestine as Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza have become impossible to ignore.
Bardem argued that the growing worldwide support for Palestine is a direct response to the atrocities witnessed in Gaza and the West Bank, saying that "anybody with minimal common sense understands that that is wrong."
Discussing the political backdrop to the Spain–Argentina World Cup final, he also criticised Argentine President Javier Milei for openly aligning himself with Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right Israeli leaders, saying it was unfair to present Argentina as represented by those figures.
Bardem stressed that Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and the Israeli cabinet do not represent Jewish people and warned against antisemitism, while insisting that criticism of the Israeli government is both legitimate and necessary.
The actor said younger generations are driving a historic shift in public opinion because they are witnessing Israel's actions in real time and are increasingly demanding accountability, justice, and an end to the impunity enjoyed by Israel's leadership on the world stage.
