We thought the best person to launch our plan to prioritise married couples for affordable housing would be Richard Tice, who shagged his girlfriend behind his wife's back.
This is the daily reality for Afghan women under the Taliban 👇
An 18-year-old girl, completely covered in a burqa and sunglasses, sits before Abdullah Sarhadi, the Taliban Governor of the Jawzjan province, and calmly begs for a divorce from the husband who beats her.
“If there was any chance to live together, I wouldn’t be here… I have taken my decision.”
He refuses to grant the divorce and tells her she must stay in the physically abusive relationship. She will lose her “dignity and honor,” he tells her, if she divorced.
Then, to the approving laughter of the men around him, he declares that women are “deficient in intellect,” “mindless,” and “don’t know a thing.”
No rights. No escape. Just contempt and subjected to the total control of men steeped in a medieval philosophy.
And still the world looks away.

Only the Daily Telegraph of the mainstream media seem interested in @GaryLineker posting a video that compares Zionists to Nazis.
The truth is that Lineker has been posting such videos for nearly three years now on Instagram.
The post comparing Zionists to rats was not a mistake, this is the content Lineker shares most days over on Instagram.
Now no longer at the BBC due to the 🐀 post, Lineker is free of any consequence. All his partners and employees at GoalHanger see this content and have no problem being aligned with Lineker.
Amazon and ITV also see this content and the rare headlines and also have no problem featuring Lineker.
As Jews - 95% of whom are Zionists - which whatever Tony Greenstein may say is a central part of our religion, we cannot help but see the indifference of the general public when Lineker compares us to to rats or Nazis.
Ultimately it won’t come down to losing jobs or money, Lineker - a World Cup golden boot winner, long term Match of the Day host and podcast entrepreneur, will be remembered as a raging anti-Semite.
There is no amount of money, football or media awards that will change that.
This is pure medieval savagery.
A 19-year-old girl buried in a hole and stoned to death by Taliban savages for “adultery” after she tried to escape a forced marriage.
No rights and no mercy. Just rocks, screams, and “Allahu Akbar.”
Afghan women are trapped under this nightmare with zero defense. The world watches and does NOTHING. Why aren't all the Hollywood celebrities and influencers enraged about this?
I’m sick that I feel so powerless to help these women.

@MarkRuffalo While Jews are hunted worldwide because of your baseless genocide accusations, your biggest concern is which family is buying which studio and for how much.
Say goodbye to your career, you son of a bitch.
“Words matter, and so does the willingness to draw a line when legitimate debate gives way to antisemitic tropes.
We commend @ParamountPics for speaking clearly and refusing to allow prejudice to masquerade as political or corporate criticism. At a time when antisemitism is too often minimized, rationalized or repackaged in more socially acceptable language, this kind of moral clarity matters.
Invoking Israel in an issue where it is completely irrelevant is a textbook case of obsession and demonization. Paramount was right to call it out.
More leaders and institutions should have the courage to call antisemitism what it is, regardless of who is spreading it.”
— Jim Berk, CEO, Simon Wiesenthal Center
Yet again we see the friends and families of young men who have caused fatalities amongst innocent emergency workers or bystanders condoning their actions, saying they were ‘good lads’ and ‘wouldn’t hurt a fly’. My heart breaks for the police officers’ families.
Weren't you on record less than a month ago saying you don't talk to Jews anymore?
And what do the Ellisons have to do with anything? Aside from them being Jewish?
You are the textbook definition of an antisemite.
Simon Wiesenthal Center has weighed in on Mark Ruffalo remarks on Paramount merger and Ellisons ties to Israel: “Invoking Israel in an issue where it is completely irrelevant is a textbook case of obsession and demonization. Paramount was right to call it out” - Jim Berk, CEO

This is Marziyeh a woman from my country Iran. Look at her face. She had acid thrown on her face because her hijab was considered “inappropriate.”
Two things about her story break my heart.
First: for more than a decade, I have watched powerful female politicians from the West visit my country, cover their hair, and tell us they are doing it to “respect Iranian culture.”
Iranian culture didn’t do this to her. Theocracy did.
Compulsory hijab is not our culture. It is the culture of those who use religion to control women. Iranian women have paid with prison, lashes, their eyes, their faces, and sometimes their lives for saying NO to it.
Second: the United Nations elected the Islamic Republic to its Commission on the Status of Women.
Yes. The regime that brutalizes women over their hair was chosen to help oversee women’s rights.
That’s like putting the arsonist on the fire-safety committee.
So that is why I am determined to ate the West to respect women. Not the Islamic Ideology that destroy our lives.

Majid, I am sorry that I knew nothing about you before they hanged you. Forgive us.
Majid, you have a family. You are someone’s son. Someone’s brother. Someone loved you, waited for you, worried about you. And yet we know almost nothing about you.
This is Majid Adineh, a protester from the January uprising whom the Islamic Republic hanged on Sunday morning.
There was not even a single photograph of him publicly available before his execution. This image is taken from a forced-confession video released by Mizan, the judiciary’s own media outlet.
That is how brutally the regime silenced your family. They made you disappear while you were still alive, and then they took you to the gallows.
I don’t know what happened to you when they came to your cell and said, “Get ready. You are going to be hanged.”
I don’t know what went through your mind in those final moments, when they put the rope around your neck and kicked the chair from beneath your feet.
Did you think you had been forgotten by the rest of the world?
The unbearable truth is that almost nobody knew your name until the regime announced that you were gone.
They silenced your family. They hid your face. They kept your name from us.
And then they ended your life.
