These ribbons commemorate the innocent hostages in Gaza
She has no right to cut them down - we are watching moral degeneracy
May God protect the hostages and bring them home 🎗️🙏
Today I visited the site of the horrific terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Synagogue. The overwhelming feeling I have after that visit is rage.
How dare a man welcomed into our country as a child repay that generosity with terror and bloodshed?
So many lives ruined, so much trauma, pain, anxiety and loss left behind.
I am absolutely sick of seeing Britain’s kindness turned against us.
The brazen anti-semitism on display on Yom Kippur under the pretence of “protest” is another example of people abusing the rights and freedoms we have.
Yet too many still champion causes and cultures that do not respect those same rights and freedoms.
The naivety of those who believe this will all go away with warm words is also taking our country down a dark path. This hand-wringing has a cost.
Before the visit I also spoke to the Prestwich Hebrew Congregation. The strength of Manchester’s Jewish community in the face of evil is humbling.
Manchester’s Jewish community has been part of the city for over two centuries. It is a scandal that many in Manchester and beyond are considering leaving our country.
For generations after the Holocaust, the world said “never again”. Never again would we allow Jews to be hunted, terrorised, or live in fear because of who they are. Those words ring hollow today.
On Yom Kippur, Jews ask where they’ve fallen short and how to do better.
We, as a nation, must ask ourselves the same. How did we let hatred fester again on our streets?
There are many causes: Islamism, Media bias in reporting the war in the Middle East, the inability of authorities to go after serial wrongdoers while instead focusing on minor infractions of the law abiding population and so much more.
The terror-supporting hate marches must stop. The Government must abandon its dangerous 'Islamophobia' definition. And we need a wholesale new approach to tackling misinformation and bias in our media.
We’ve tolerated this poison for too long - because too many politicians have been too weak or too cowardly to even say what they see, let alone confront it.
My message in Manchester is simple: no more.
No more fear. No more excuses. No more looking away.
We will stand with our Jewish friends, not just in sympathy, but in strength.
We pray for the recovery of the victims still in hospital.
And we mourn the loss of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz.
May their memories be a blessing.
@MASKON1986@sharrond62 Kids are kids there’s too much pressure on kids as it is to look perfect all the time. Let children be children - without having to look absolutely perfect stepping outside the door And! In this day and age does it really matter!! Too much going on in the world.
@meechlamanna It’s a shame to pick on a young girl who probably has never had attacks about her on social media before especially about her hair.!!
Does it matter about anyone’s hair - are we all perfect - no!’
@MASKON1986@sharrond62 What made you post this Joanne - is your hair perfect? For a person your age you should know better. Keep your nasty remarks over the pond!!
@Zephyrgold58@Jenny_1884 Supermarkets also sell halal sweets - I was horrified! Haribo sell a range of Haribo Halal sweets imported from Turkey and widely available.
@ThatAussieWoman@alexarmstrong The BBC cancelled further cookery programmes from Nadia a while ago. They said the programme had taken its course - of what people wanted.
@TheGriftReport@KMD15X And what have they actually achieved other than to look absolutely ridiculous and pathetic life is too easy for them - no respect to our wonderful country.
