@theribman @MrSimonMitchell @KERB_ @bleeckerburger Those were the days! Sampled plenty of both back then. Good times.

@McLarenF1 what a f*cking joke. You did @LandoNorris dirty there. Your tactics gave the slower driver an undeserved win. You look like utter amateurs and badly let down the guy who might actually challenge for the title.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Cycling. Getting up early and riding my bike for two hours before I start my day. Doing that two or even three times a week.

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@SouthLondonGirl It’s such a regular here now. Whole bag of cavalo Nero and nearly two whole broccoli between four people. The goodness is real!

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@Michael1979 Good to see so many decent, hardworking British times in here. None of your foreign muck.

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@bleeckerburger Lol, no I love everything you make - just never made it to the shakes.

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@bleeckerburger Literally never tried a single milkshake 😬. Was up for salted caramel, but missed it. Second burger is delicious, but you do tend to feel rather full!

@East_of_Dulwich Our cat, Winnie, who had been missing for almost a week, turned up today *coincidentally* just hours after I posted a load of posters around the neighbourhood asking people to check sheds/ gardens/ utility rooms etc. #EastDulwichGoodNews

@duolingoUK hi. I’m having real issues with log in for my son’s account. Despite receiving emails from you to his email address with his account name, neither the account name or email are recognised when trying to log in. Can you help? Thanks

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@bleeckerburger The struggle continues… hmm, I fancy a burger now, lol.

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@PaulLomax @ashleyljames What a cool, confident, informed response. Wish I had this all-round game when dealing with similar “I heard (in the Telegraph/ Mail etc) that this terrible woke thing is happening” conversations…

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@bleeckerburger With… limited success 🤣

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@bleeckerburger 👀 I wish I knew. My efforts to re-create I’m using mayo, ketchup, mustard and pickle juice…

@faris Love a bit of state motto chat https://t.co/LcvdibjJbv

Just imagine we had the recording of a 6 year old Israeli girl, desperately ringing the emergency services after Hamas militants slaughtered her relatives in a car, including 3 other kids.

Imagine we also had a prior recording of her 15 year old cousin, desperately pleading for help, before you hear her being violently murdered by Hamas gunfire.

Imagine then an Israeli ambulance sent to rescue this little girl was then blown up by Hamas militants, killing both paramedics.

What would be the response?

You know what the response would be.

It would be offered up as evidence of the supreme evil and barbarism of Hamas.

We would be told it showed they’re worse than the Nazis.

It would also be offered up as justification for the need to wipe Hamas off the face of the earth.

Every politician in the West would issue statements dripping with grief and righteous fury.

None of that has happened here.

Instead, the West continue to arm and back Israel’s mass slaughter, with occasional handwringing which its politicians know has zero impact on the behaviour of Israel.

Even as Israel commits some of the worst atrocities of the 21st century - live streamed for the world to see - these Western powers refuse to describe a single act of Israel as a war crime.

Two things.

Firstly, none of this is to downgrade the value of Israeli civilian life. The value attacked to Israel innocent civilians’ lives is correct.

It is just transparently not applied to Palestinian life.

Indeed, secondly, it is nauseating that I even have to indulge in these
“imagine if!” scenarios.

It becomes necessary because Palestinian life has been stripped of nearly all value.

In South Africa’s submission to the ICJ, this horror was described as the world’s first live streamed genocide.

I think even more than that, it’s the live streaming of the suicide of the West.

Much of the world already regarded the West’s claims of moral superiority with contempt.

Well, contempt doesn’t even begin to describe those sentiments now.

I don’t think it’s remotely appreciated how much fury at Western power - which has shrunk with every major conflict involving Muslim nations in the 21st century - is being whipped up.

Finally, this nauseating episode has answered a question I’ve always been haunted by when studying the atrocities of the past.

How did so many people who regarded themselves as humane, moderate, “normal” become so willingly complicit in self evident evil, either by not speaking out or actively cheering it on?

Well, think of the badly decomposing remains of Hind and her family, and the incinerated remains of the paramedics sent to save her, and there’s your answer.

There’s your answer!

@19problemz looking forward to Sunday. I think this might just be your moment. This is your stage. Be the absolute weapon you were born to be. Whatever happens, true fans know who you are. Niners for life!

[Jonathan Dale @jmdale01]

@gkittle46 hey George. So, as a 49er fan for nearly 40 years, Brent Jones has been my favourite right end ever for years. And I love Vernon. But now it’s you. Simple. You embody all that is awesome about this team. Be the true People’s Tight End on Sunday. You fucking legend.
