The reality of John Mann: 'a thicko racist bully'.

[andy peacock @AndyPeacock999]

Always remember thicko racist bully @LordJohnMann was interviewed by Hate Crime Team at Nottinghamshire Police regarding his racist leaflet where he singled out the Gypsy Roma and Traveller community as uniquely prone to carrying out anti social behaviour

Cuba's Diaz-Canel: "They invented the Cartel de los Soles to go after Venezuela. They kidnapped Maduro -- two days later the cartel vanished. They said Iraq had WMDs -- never appeared. They attacked Iran over nukes -- no nuclear action ever happened. All their lies unravel."

A white man named Chas Chorrigan has just been jailed for life for murdering a Saudi student, Mohammed Algasim, in Cambridge.

There will be no political circus around this. No strong words from Farage. This selective outrage is what causes further division.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The motives of Wes Streeting are irrelevant.

Starmer’s Health Secretary submitted a dossier of evidence of Israeli war crimes compiled by British doctors.

Starmer shut that evidence down.

Beneath contempt.

No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?

A girl steals baby formula from a shop and goes to jail.
Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens.
THAT'S two tier justice...

Wasn’t her husband assassinated in broad daylight here in the U.S. while Trump was president?

Hampshire Police, whose officers are 96.4% white, are being accused of anti-white racism.

The latest figures show that Hampshire Police were 5.1 times more likely to stop and search a Black person than a white person. Of the Black people arrested following stop and searches, 60% were released with no further action taken. The average disparity across England and Wales was 3.8 times.

Facts matter. Some people may feel that there are two-tier policing because they did not like seeing people arrested for taking part in riots, but the data does not support that claim.

I also find it incredible that some of the same people who oppose anti-racism training for police officers are now calling for mandatory antisemitism training for NHS staff.

I think anti-racism and antisemitism training courses are both good things.

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

Behold Norway's World Cup team photo.

Paying homage to their Viking past, something neither Swedes nor Danes tend to feel comfortable doing.

I wasn't planning to root for them, but I sure as heck will do now! (up to a point, of course...)

[UK HE News @HigherEd_UK]

This pattern is happening at every UK university in some form. Corrupt and incompetent senior managers have spent over a decade borrowing and spending unis into oblivion.

Any journalists interested in the real reason for the UK HE collapse?

[John Goodby @johnnygoodeb]

@RaggedTP Mann the Scab. Sums him up. Classic case of a career right winger who infiltrated Labour to destroy it, termite-like, from within. From student Kinnockite to House of Lords shill, ever eager to scuttle about at the bidding of his masters: the rich, the powerful, the corrupt.

This coward is too weak to state that it was Israel who killed the Serbian peacekeeper.

To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now:

• Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces.

• Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile.

• Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings.

• Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models.

• Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees.

• Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised).

This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon.

This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.

@LBC Support for Palestinians is only anti-semitic if you accept the conflation of Jewishness with Zionism. Which most people are sensible enough not to. And to assume that all Jews are Zionist supporters of Israel's murderous activities is itself an anti-semitic slur.

[Man at C&A @BeardedBrownMa1]

A White Racist literally walked into Tesco with a machete and tried to decapitate a #Sikh man in the middle of the grocery aisle.
Because #Sikhs are not mentally unwell, they did not ask every white person in Britain to take responsibility and apologise.
