@mogibarra Read most of them, but then I’d have been a very dilettante English Lit graduate if I hadn’t! Not sure if deciphering bits of Ulysses would count as translation …

@DavidHeadViews @acgrayling @guardian I’ve bought the Observer every Sunday for about 50 years, and I support the Guardian with an online subscription. If the Obs is sold to a Zionist South African (apparently the main funder of Tortoise for this deal) sadly that’s an end of both personal traditions for me

This is exactly why this shouldn’t have been done at short notice on a private members bill.

One thing I will say as an atheist. Am finding the liberal dismissal of anyone of faith as somehow lesser on assisted dying grim. The fact people of faith have different views shows it's more complex than some wd have us believe. We all derive our moral compass from somewhere.

8/ Still, the lie is the lie. An edifice founded on this, the biggest lie, cannot survive indefinitely. It has an expiration date. The only to fight lies is with the truth. Solidarity is the only cornerstone capable of grounding a functional human society.

@TomLondon6 @BBCNews I sent a series of letters to Tim Davie between December & May complaining about many aspects of the coverage. I never got a response, but the correspondence did establish that, no matter how well evidenced there is no way for the public to engage with the management of the BBC

@UK_Republic Can you repost that ONS link, or DM me with it, tks

@ZackPolanski He really belongs in @TheGreenParty and has for quite a while!

I’m moving over to Bluesky where I’m https://t.co/ULbUq4p9CZ

Not closing this account but also not visiting it often, so much less engaged here from now on. I can thoroughly recommend ‘the other place’ where most of those I follow regularly are now showing up

King Charles charges this RNLI lifeboat station to launch its boat because he owns the beach. And they’re not the only charity he’s rinsing

@caitoz I follow you with interest but I am curious what your preferred solution to Ukraine would be?

@OxfordDiplomat @DalrympleWill @mrjamesob @owenjonesjourno @JoeBrolly1993 @ClareDalyIRL @TadhgHickey @HossamShabat @Rahmazeinegypt @georgegalloway @AdameMedia A lot of purple are now using Bluesky as their No 1 platform.

@TomLondon6 That marvellous phrase Campbell and the like always use when they and their pals are caught out: “He could have been more curious”

Let it become a tale.
Never forget the victims of a genocide.

[Ian Callaghan @iancallaghan]

Does anyone know what this programme is / when it was on?

[Claire @claireXanda]

The BBC called out for covering up the story about the corruption in the royal family. Viewers complained &asked What was more important than reporting that King Charles and Prince William are “ scamming nhs and charities ”.Just imagine if this was Harry &Meghan? #Dispatches

@mogibarra Please give him my best!

@PickardJE Message acted upon

[Ian Callaghan @iancallaghan]

@garygilligan Yep, it seems it’s finally happening! You kindly gave me a code several moons ago but I’ve been unwilling to finally exit X until it seemed there was real momentum on the brighter side of the street. Perhaps that day’s at last dawning…

Mouin's threads are always worth reading, but this one is exceptional. A comprehensive analysis of the events in Amsterdam, including background that most people won't be aware of.

[Ian Callaghan @iancallaghan]

The problem is that this BBC report of the truth is buried on some webpage most people will never see while the main bulletins only dish out the ‘pogrom’ line. But if you complain to the BBC they’ll say they covered it. It’s the broadcasting scam of all time @BBCR4Feedback

[Ben Jamal @BenJamal48]

So Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, with a history of racist violence, rampage though Amsterdam,chanting genocidal slogans,attacking taxi drivers and tearing down Palestine flags, and when they are then attacked,this becomes an anti Jewish pogrom condemned across the political mainstream.
