@owenjonesjourno I’m more disturbed that you spent the night thinking about me.
The antisemitism I’ve woken to from the extreme left over night is utterly unhinged, shameful and disturbing.
If it wasn't mainly a problem for being a very obvious mass surveillance law, the social media ban is going to drive young teens into using message based social media sites like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord pushing interactions into more out of sight places and increasing risk
Charlotte Head, Leona Kamio, Fatema Zainab & Samuel Corner are heroes & political prisoners. They’re being punished unjustly by the state because of their integrity & bravery. This is an authoritarian outrage.
Care workers with @AndreaEganGS taking our message to Westminster: Keep your promises.
This isn’t just about care staff. It’s about everyone who relies on care, every day. #FairVisasNow
Full statement by the family of Stephen Ogilvie:
"We are completely devastated by the horrific attack on our loved one on Kinnaird Avenue.
"This has been a massive shock to our whole family, and right now, our only priority is being at his bedside and helping him recover.
"We want to say a profound thank you to the local people who bravely stepped in during the attack.
"Your quick actions absolutely saved his life, and we will never forget what you did for him in that moment.
"We also want to thank the emergency services and the doctors and nurses looking after him.
"We are aware of the tensions and talk of protests following this incident.
"We want to make it absolutely clear that overnight unrest is not welcome, and peaceful protest is the only way forward.
"We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including in our healthcare system and hospitality sector and we depend on them to make our country work.
"We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility.
"We are asking the media and the public to please give us some space.
"We need privacy to focus on our family right now, without cameras or people speculating about what happened.
"If you know anything at all about the attack, or saw anything strange near Kinnaird Avenue, please go to the police.
"Thank you for respecting our privacy"
🚨 NEW: The family of the Belfast attempted beheading victim has called for calm

I’m never going to concede to the idea that these people have legitimate concerns. This is nothing but psychotic racism from subhuman scum. Any problems that may or may not come with immigration can never be dealt with anyway while people are behaving like this.
