People misunderstand this with Israel on Eurovision. The fact is, a dedicated 5% of public can hugely sway a vote on Eurovision. People can for a country vote 20 times, but can't vote against a country (Palestine might win if allowed). Polls show Europe supports Palestine.
@MattLech@DavidGriscom hey, any chance of an episode on what's going on with Congo/Rwanda? Would love to see Milton Alimadi back as it's hard to get a good anticolonial materialist lens on the situation
@southlondonscum@michaeljswalker I think cancer treatment is actually a lot more expensive than for example dementia. Diseases that can actually be treated require the NHS to fork out. Care homes are 1) currently privately funded and 2) essentially palliative.
@RobertJenrick Are you aware that Allahu Akhbar is also said by Arab Christians? You are literally just trying to ban the Arabic language. Of course you're not aware but you rejoice in your own ignorance.
📢 APPEAL:
Please send us photographs and videos of the anti-migrant protests this weekend. We can use them to identify far-right activists taking part. 🔍
Please send these to [email protected] or on Signal to +447459331025.
@davidhmoffat hi for some reason I can't reply to one of your tweets. wanted to know why you think akehurst is behind the russell-moyle suspension. I'm not familiar with him (akehurst) but find the whole thing very concerning.
@P24576512@alexander_olly Neil this is called racism. This only makes sense if you generalise so much you don't distinguish between Palestinians and Muslims, and Muslims and ISIS. That's the definition of bigotry. It's really not hard.
@Miss_Snuffy What's sexual about shaking shoulders? You are like a Victorian covering table legs. When I was a kid we went to see belly dancers in Turkey. We tried to do the moves ourselves! Kids don't see it as sexual because they're kids, it's just fun.
@BobbyTressell @PhilipProudfoot Nobody thinks about it except all the LGBT people plus their friends and family. You are falling for the oldest trick, divide and conquer. Being united as working class people means sticking up for each other, trans, straight, muslim, immigrant, disabled, whatever.
Astonishing admission from the pioneer of research on implicit bias/bigotry/racism, Mahzarin Banaji, that DEI training programs don't work & even hurt. Racist attitudes still exist but much improved since 60s & most don't act on them anyway. End DEI now.

Thing that really leaps out at me in all this is how Andrew Sachs didn’t speak to his granddaughter for 8yrs after Brand & Ross trolled him. Sachs was considered the victim, not Georgina, who sank into addiction after the event. Women are just window dressing in men’s stories
@ComicDaveSmith There *is* evidence though. There are multiple witnesses who overheard screaming. There are literally texts from the time in which he admits to it. You've just typed this without bothering to look at the evidence, haven't you?
@JSMilbank You're conflating telling jokes with being a rapist. They are different things and hence it is possible to like the former and not the latter.
Obscenity is not the problem, violence against women is.
@an_arizonan @BretWeinstein The original quote is: 'When they came for the communists...'
The wealthy don't get persecuted Jesse. They are the elite doing the persecuting.
