Criticising Israeli govt does not require calling for Israel to be eliminated. Calling out antisemitism does not require condemning Islam. Supporting single sex provision does not require condemning all trans people. Disagreeing with someone does not need you to wish them dead.

@portraitinflesh Im thinking of reading Dostoyevsky in French, Kafka in Russian and Proust in German. Maybe Homer in Spanish and Cervantes in Latin as well, just to be on the safe side.

@FFjunkie_ Glad to see you're happy to have a two-way conversation about this and are open to different points of view. You must really enjoy celebrating October 7 each year. By the way, Palestine's government is the Palestinian Authority, run by Hamas.

@FFjunkie_ Against my better judgement, I'm going to ask why you decided to post this reply, and why you feel Israel should be eliminated.

@hnjsamuels @BijanOmrani It's dispiritingly dull and corporate, but it's not as if Chancery was *a good thing* in Dickens. In fact, entirely the reverse.

@Lola_lmao7 @AT_Ancient I used to use a tailor called De'Ath. Imagine if one had been the client of the other!

@SoVeryBritish Mine is called Miles, because it's kind of blue

@DrFrancisYoung Not only that, but I prefer the second half!

You can get the package you need for £4.99, which is about 3/5 of a pint in London, or about 4% of a replica shirt. If the government had wanted it free to view they could have legislated. There's an actual cost of living crisis and this isn't it. #Arsenal #champi̇onsleague

Football is at its best when it brings people together. Supporters should not be priced out of watching one of the biggest matches in the world.

I support the Prime Minister’s call for the Champions League final to be made free to watch.

@HenMazzig Retraction: the roofs thing is in fact ISIS and I acknowledge misinformation about Gaza. Turns out homosexuality is only 10 years in prison but extra-judicial execution not unusual. So that's much better.

[Lector Intende ✡️ @lectorintende]

@HenMazzig So the Jewish LGBTQ+ groups were barred for not disowning the only country in the Middle East where LGBTQ+ people can live openly, in favour of an authority that throws LGBTQ+ people off buildings in public executions? Just checking.

@Dan_Smackroyd @rico58489635 @HenMazzig Could you cite sources for the dogs thing that aren't the discredited NYT article, or from a known paedophile, and deal with the fact that this is physiologically impossible?

[Lector Intende ✡️ @lectorintende]

@Dan_Smackroyd @HenMazzig Thanks. I retract that after checking. Videos claiming this are actually ISIS. In Gaza it's 10 years in prison but tolerance for extra-judicial killings. So that's all right then.

@rbnmckenna86 What we need to bring this whole thing to a close is for someone to produce the definitive translation of #Homer free from any ideological influence for the bro crowd so that the rest of us can faff about with Wilson or whoever. So, who's going to translate Homer into bitcoin?
