@ZackPolanski What unsettles me is the whitewashing of a terrorist leader who was at the forefront of the Second Intifada. Who directed, funded and trained murderers of civilians. You should be nowhere near mainstream politics in a liberal democracy. Shame on you.
Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.
Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.
Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."
Free Marwan.

I’m so fed up with politicians using words like “look at”. I don’t really care which way you fall but have an opinion on something, don’t just review it and kick it into the long grass
🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says he would "look at" removing the exemption that allows Sikhs to carry ceremonial knives in light of Henry Nowak's murder

The irony of Burnham answering how to restore trust and confidence when he lied to the people about Manchester that he’d stay for his full mayoral term

Labour’s Andy Burnham confirms that if elected, he would run against Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a Labour leadership contest

why would I want solidarity with people who hate me? Why is the solidarity never expected to be reciprocated? Why is everyone allowed to be homophobic because of their religion but I’m not allowed to point out how stupid that is?
🚨 WATCH: An audience member tells Reform candidate Rob Kenyon that she'd "rather have a career politician than a plumber who's a sexist"
"I won't accept that label... I was brought up by women. I have nothing but respect for women"

Telling British Muslims to essentially 'go home' if they're not sufficiently understanding or accepting of gay people is just racist.
Western gay men are some of the most privileged and obnoxiously bigoted people on earth - how can you expect solidarity if you act like this?
“Western gay men are some of the most privileged”
Compared with what, Matthew, countries and regimes where my fiancé and I would be beheaded in the street, thrown off a building or stoned to death in the street?
Goodness me I am *SO* privileged aren’t I?
We're coming, songbirds.
