Tomorrow is October 7th so it’s a great time to remind you all that Israel killed most of the Jews during the ‘biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust’

SHODDY JOURNALISM FROM THE BBC...AGAIN!
This is a train wreck of an article that utilises tired old narratives which distort the stark reality of state sponsored genocide in Panjab and malign the agency of Sikhs to express their right to self-determination.
Just some notable issues:
“The movement was at its peak in the 1980s in the Indian state of Punjab, when the area experienced a series of violent attacks and thousands of deaths.”
Not differentiating between the indiscriminate killing spree of the indian state security personnel that lead to an horrific amount of extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances, and the state-targeted hits of Sikh militant fighters is shoddy journalism.
“It lost steam after Indian armed forces ran special operations against the movement.”
The Sikh movement was violently crushed by the Indian state, who enacted draconian laws that empowered their authorities to kidnap, torture and kill anyone associated with the movement. All three arms of the state were utilised to brutally crush the movement. Also adding a random reference to an academic, but not backing it up with any relevant body of work is misleading.
“In June 1984, the Indian military stormed the holiest site for Sikhs and flushed out militant separatists sheltering in the temple complex in the city of Amritsar.”
This type of language is what the BBC does best. Over the past few decades they have presented this narrative as gospel and always include it in their poor coverage. It’s insensitive and grossly inaccurate.
“Gandhi was killed by two of her Sikh bodyguards, which led to four days of rioting and communal violence.”
Yet again, downplaying the politics of genocide and labelling it communal violence.
“Australian officials said they would look into vandalism of Hindu temples by pro-Khalistan activists, but would not stop Australian Sikhs expressing their views on an independent homeland.”
No reference to the fact Australian police have provided an update to this incident in which it has surfaced the Hindu temple was vandalised by Hindus to defame the Khalistan referendum.
The whole article is replete with mistakes. It’s almost as if someone at the BBC asked ChatGPT to provide a quick article based on Indian state propaganda.

I hope the UK government can urgently clarify whether British Sikhs are safe and make a statement on their understanding of events.

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Three months before his death, Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. But an autopsy later showed that he actually had Lewy body dementia - a devastating brain disease that shares characteristics with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Experts were stunned by how much the disease had ravaged his brain. One doctor said, 'This was about as devastating a form of Lewy body dementia as I had ever seen. It really amazed me that Robin could walk or move at all.'"
.@RickyGervais gives his thoughts on trophy hunter Rebecca Francis.
"What must've happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal and then lie next to it smiling?"
"You don't use a bow & arrow and then take a smiling selfie in a mercy killing. She wanted to murder a giraffe & she did. Fuck the bullshit".
END #TrophyHunting NOW!!!
My social media has reached over 7 million people in the last 3 days on this terrible shooting of two dogs by the Metropolitan police in East London. I have never seen this level engagement on an animal welfare issue since Nowzad evacuation in August 2021. Public anger off the scale. I will discuss with @TVKev on @TalkTV at 5.15pm tune in
