@ArsenalBallots Had this response from the club, which is absolutely fair enough. I usually tick the box, but didn’t want to pay upper tier prices for this one, so didn’t
@ArsenalBallots Hahaha I’ll let you know the response from the club - I’ve done pretty well in ballots this year, so can’t complain if I’m in the 0.1% who missed this one (got Burnley!)
@JasonKBritton I’m about 6k on the season ticket list, so hoping to be at the top in the next few years. Still managed to do about 13 games already this season as a silver
I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.
Baron Hain, "Palestine Action members spraying paint on military aircraft is moderate by comparison to what the suffragettes did"
"Treating young people as terrorists because they feel frustrated about the failure to stop mass killings and bombings of civilians in Gaza"
"I've never supported their activity, but there's a great difference between what they did and terrorism"
"And if you start labelling people willy nilly terrorists right across the board, you're going down a very dangerous route"
"Al Qaeda's attack on New Yorks twin towers killing 2,753 people - real terrorism"
"ISIS - real terrorism"
"This Labour government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to ISIS or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled, and morally wrong"
"Frankly I'm deeply ashamed"
‘What disturbs you the most about the Glastonbury chants?’
‘They get more attention than the genocide of Gazans.’
Journalist @rachshabi, who is Jewish, weighs in on the fallout of Bob Vylan’s controversial performance.
"Mo Chara’s real problem is that the message he put out landed. Working-class people aren’t meant to speak like this, organise like this, or connect struggles across borders like this. That’s what scares them.
While Mo Chara stands in the dock for allegedly waving a flag, those complicit in a genocide walk the streets untouched. Since October 2023, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza – entire families erased, journalists targeted, children bombed in their beds.
More than 300 officials at the Foreign Office raised their concerns about Israel’s “stark … disregard for international law”. And yet, the UK government continues to greenlight arms deals and offer diplomatic cover. That’s not a performance. That’s a conscious policy decision. Made in Westminster, paid for by the taxpayer, and buried beneath silence.
They’ve tried this before. Give Ireland Back to the Irish – banned. Christy Moore – detained. The Pogues’ Streets of Sorrow – silenced for decades. And now, it seems to be Mo Chara – for turning protest into poetry, politics into art.
So here’s the question – the same one Pete Seeger asked, the same one Mo Chara asks now: Which side are you on?
