I can't tell you the level of disgust and shame I feel about the events of the last 36 hours. 👇

➡️ Two years of hate parades, given cover by many in Labour, legitimised by last week's recognition of "Palestine", all culminating in yesterday's appalling, but by now sadly foreseeable, antisemitic attack.

➡️ The usual state and much media obfuscation about the killer's origins and motives. This evening we discover he was also on bail for sexual assault. What else might we yet learn?

➡️ Last night's shameful and intimidating pro-Palestine demonstrations.

➡️ Today, a seemingly powerless Home Secretary and Met, unsupported by the London Mayor, pleading with a bunch of leftist agitators not to do the same tomorrow & next weekend.

➡️ A government so out of touch with feeling in the Jewish community that it could send the Deputy PM to say "don't let hate divide us" and expect that to be good enough. David Lammy deserved all the heckling he got this afternoon.

I never imagined that anti-semitism would ever return to Britain, still less in this virulent, dangerous form.

The weakness, appeasement, bad faith, and sheer incompetence of the British state have been on show these last two days as almost never before. We are right to be angry. Yet who is really surprised? And who is going to turn the tide?

This is the third ad that has me sobbing in so many days. The clock website wouldn’t even let it be shown.

Stand up for girls!!! You aren’t a bad person if you support girls’ sports. It isn’t fair or safe to allow boys into girls’ sports.

@LibDems @munirawilson Totally spineless behaviour by the Lib Dems. Without a full inquiry, there won’t be accountability and these rape gangs will continue. By abstaining in the vote, you failed in your duty to keep our children safe.

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@LibDems @LibDemPress Why don’t you listen to many of the victims who are calling for a proper national inquiry? Yes implement recommendations, but also we need accountability and punishment for those who covered up abuse. To raise concerns about the cover up isn’t using victims as political football!

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@ronniegraham100 @krishk Worth reading this thread to understand why people want a proper national inquiry…

[Charlie Peters @CDP1882]

This conversation sparked by the abuse gangs scandal is spiralling into political gossip.

Let's bring it back to what matters: the survivors and getting the action they need.

So far, the government’s response to the demand for a national public inquiry has been to point to the IICSA report.

Bashing Elon Musk's amplification of calls for a public inquiry, Wes Streeting said that we’ve already had a report into grooming gangs so we don’t need another.

But what did the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse actually find out about grooming gangs?

In this thread I'll go through why many victims and campaigners think the report didn't do enough on the gangs.

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@ronniegraham100 @krishk The inquiry was v limited and only covered 6 of the cities involved - eg. didn’t cover Rotherham or Rochdale. It’s obvs why Lab govt won’t do proper inquiry - Labour councils were covering it up! Protecting themselves rather than seeking proper justice for the girls.

@TiceRichard Facilitating suicide to reduce the burden on NHS is immoral. Vulnerable people will be pressured into an early death because of this. V disappointed - It’s shameful you voted for this evil assisted suicide bill.

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@PriyamvadaGopal Maybe true - but does that justify the indiscriminate and racist violence that ensued, often targeting innocent fans who were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time? Disgusting you try to excuse this.

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@iansabbath @miriam_cates @krishk @RoryStewartUK @Christianitymag It’s not that simple - the Democrats were in power and couldn’t bring in gun control. There’s powerful lobby groups and legitimate reasons for gun ownership. And if we want to talk about some children being more precious than others, look at Kamala’s voting record on abortion…

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@krishk @RoryStewartUK @Christianitymag Yes, but he’s only just been elected. Give him a chance to govern and of course call out any injustice that happens under his watch. Perhaps it’s not that people love bullies, maybe Dems just did bad job in govt and Harris was a weak candidate.

@thinkingwest The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole - regarded as the first gothic novel.

@narindertweets Since when was it right for people to pay for the sins of their ancestors? And when did the slave trade become a simple case of the Brits being to blame? Perhaps we need reparations for the slavery of the Ottoman Empire? Where will it stop?

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@narindertweets The monarchy is part of our heritage and culture. You may not value our country’s heritage and Christian foundation, but I think if he’s coaching the England team it is massively disrepectful not to sing the anthem.

[Sally Yarrow @SallyYarrow]

@joan_dame I wonder… do you feel the same about Tony Blair? he has done far more damage to our country, plus the Middle East as well!

@BellaWallerstei They aren’t targeting the women, they are praying for the unborn babies who are about to be killed and for the women. 🙄
