X has literally stopped my account from growing any further.

Every time I get new followers it just knocks others off.

But I don’t give a shit how they fuck with my account I’ll never stop advocating for Palestinians and I’ll never not hate israel.

Fuck these zionist wankers!

The Victorian workhouse did not feed its inmates badly by accident. It fed them badly on purpose, and the purpose was written into the law.

The principle behind the New Poor Law of 1834 was 'less eligibility'. Life inside the workhouse had to be made worse than the life of the poorest labourer surviving outside, or people might actually choose it. Misery was the policy, and the food was central to it.

The diet was built around gruel, bread, and watery broth. Thin oatmeal porridge. Pease soup. A little cheese. Meat, where it appeared at all, appeared in quantities a working man would have laughed at, carefully weighed out on a handful of days a year. Strip a population of meat and feed it on cheap starch, and you get people who are weak, compliant, and grateful for very little. The men with the ledgers understood that completely. They wrote the smallness down, in ounces, and signed it.

Now read that menu back slowly.

Porridge to start the day. Wholegrain bread as the base of every plate. Beans and pulses for protein. Broth-based soups. Dairy in moderation. Red meat cut right back, if you have it at all.

That is the workhouse diet, almost line for line. The gruel that was once the punishment for being poor is now the breakfast of the health-conscious. The near-absence of meat, once an economy forced on people who had no say in it, is now sold to you as the enlightened, heart-healthy choice you are making of your own free will.

They worked out the cheapest way to keep a body upright and dependent, and wrote it down in ounces.

A century and a half later the same menu comes back with a wellness label on it, and this time people pay extra for the privilege.

The lethal threat of antimicrobial resistance: the use of antibiotics on livestock will rise by nearly a third in the next 15 years without government intervention, with potentially disastrous impacts on human resistance to essential medicines. https://t.co/Aon3jC3BDe

I'm awaiting condemnation from the Board of British Jews of the Southampton riots & the effect on the community of seeing Nazi salutes on the streets.

@Alison1mackITV @_GeorgeFinch @ITVX People find it hard to respect politicians when they don’t even show respect for one another. “Agree with me or you are wrong.” Reform’s share of the vote will only grow if they can prove themselves to be competent. This doesn’t suggest competence; just childish name calling.

@TiceRichard Think they might just be cheaper to buy, so more profit for them to sell at current prices.

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

Jim White and Simon Jordan recorded a @talkSPORT segment on the controversy surrounding the imminent appointment of Robbie Keane as the next manager of Celtic.

Of course, they turned the comments off.

Cowards.

Keane talks about how his staff at Maccabi had mortgages to pay and children to feed. This at a time when children in Gaza were being slaughtered by the thousand in the name of ethno-supremacy just a few miles away.

Despicable and indefensible.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

An unelected Lord, appointed “antisemitism adviser”, now feels entitled or even qualified to explain antisemitism to a Jewish national party leader.

To add to all this - he's not Jewish.

Truly rabbit hole stuff.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.

Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

I love how this segment is all about the Jewish community fighting "record levels of antisemitism" but exactly zero antisemitism happens anywhere in this segment. A guy gets frightened by a Jewish woman telling him the Shomrim are coming and they have guns. People are scared that a fire is an act of antisemitic terrorism but it turns out it's just an electrical fire. Someone's car temporarily stalled in front of a Jewish person's house. An imam says he's disturbed by a Jewish man taking photos of him. That's it. Nothing happens. It's an entire news segment about absolutely nothing happening, reported in a solemn and urgent tone.

"Many see as illegal" -- please, tell me, would any other country on earth be gifted headlines like this to describe something that is, in fact, simply illegal?

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário drops a bombshell:

'What is happening in Gaza is not a war... it is a systematic extermination of a people trapped in a cage.'
'The silence of the world is frightening... and staying silent about this brutality is a moral failure.'
'I will not be silent... I will never be silent. I stand with Gaza.' 🔥🇧🇷🇵🇸"

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Zack Polanski criticised the police for being heavy handed with a RT and he got a formal rebuke from the police and got grilled by the media.

Farage incites riots and condemns the police causing them of murder and nothing.

Two tier media more like.
