@georgegalloway Do go on. What is the 'whole story'?

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@novaramedia Complete nonsense. There have been pro Palestinian marches almost every weekend and vast amounts of media coverage highly critical of Israel since the beginning of this crisis. None of it has been sanctioned in any way.

@nelsabbey Epstein, Saville as evil as they were are not comparable to the grooming gangs which included hundreds of men who abused thousands of girls over a 10,15yr period specifically underage white girls in care. For you though proving white men are as likely to abuse is the priority

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@ZackPolanski I'm with you on protecting the planet, but what does 'protecting communities ' actually mean? Modern Britain should should function as one community in solidarity.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@owenjonesjourno Over simplistic. Tax wise it depends on what jobs immigrants do. UK has an economy made up of too many low wage/skill jobs. Many immigrants wiĺl do those jobs so not contribute much tax but need housing, NHS access schools for their children. It's not anti immigrant to say this.

@novaramedia Viewing figures haven't decreased because of Israel , it's down to the fact that pop music has become bland , formulaic and culturally irrelevant. Even the youth are uninterested in it. It's joyless, anti music and eurovision is the worst example of it.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@Geotweet7 @afneil It's irrelevant whether he lives in the UK or not. He's a Scot regardless and therefore entitled to his opinion.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@DoubleDownNews I disagree. There is no excuse to kill random jews on the basis of Israel's actions. I'd expect people to have enough intelligence and/or morality to understand this, but we're not dealing with intelligent or moral people here.

@B_Tarrr @JamesMelville @3YearLetterman Kate Moss. From Croydon and prettier than all of those.

@UtdKlay And to be fair Fergie has more resources than wenger

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@novaramedia NATO is still by far the best option but it needs the US to lead it. So, everything depends on what Trump does and in the end I don't think he will pull out. If he does that will be the end of NATO. I do not think the EU will able to replace it with an effective alternative.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@ZackPolanski You're not making any sense.
Our 'EU neighbours ' are all in NATO which means they all work closely with the US.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@owenjonesjourno Ok, but you don't speak for Iranians. I'd imagine most of them would rather have just about anyone in charge of their country that isn't the current regime.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@trishaposner Really? You want to start trashing artists like David Bowie for experimenting with Nazi iconography. So what? It doesn't make him an actual Nazi. there's no anti semitism in his music. Art must be allowed to challenge and even offend.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@ZackPolanski That's not how diplomacy works. Pragmatism is the only thing that matters. You keep lines of communication open. Would you sever diplomatic ties with Iran and Russia?

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@ZackPolanski 'We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home.'
..except all those 'allies' are in NATO and therefore allied to the US. I think you need to think this through a bit more.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@spectator Neither definitions are correct. '
Zionism' is the belief that a Jewish state should exist on the land that was historically Israel.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@kennardmatt Go ahead, make your speech but if the green party endorse so called 'anti Zionism ' it'll be the beginning of the end for them.

[Stefan Melzak @stefspace]

@TheGreenParty Effective messaging on this but I don't believe that a random man approached All and said ',f..... off back to where you come from.' Not in today's London. The last time I heard any racist abuse from anyone in London was when I was at school in the mid 80s.
