The bells! The bells! How an anti-racist vicar upset the far right as the weekend's demos fell flat.
London and Taunton were billed as major far-right mobilisations this weekend. Instead, modest crowds, larger counter-protests and an extraordinary church confrontation in Doncaster stole the show.

Wow. You gotta take a listen to this.
Just 3 mins of your time.
Jewish American businessman (and Sydney Sweeney’s partner) Scooter Braun explains his thoughts on the words “Zionist” and “Antisemitism”
“The word Zionist has been taken to create this idea that you don’t have to say Jew.
You can just say the word ‘Zionist’ and then you can just say really hateful things about Jews”
“You say, you only hate Zionists and not Jews but then why are you attacking someone at a restaurant and not an embassy”
Listen to the rest of what he says. He’s right.
Did you know since the October 7th massacre Scooter focused his producing skills on the Nova Music Festival exhibition?
This clip was taken from Jonah Platt’s BeingJewishPodcast on YouTube - it’s well worth watching the entire interview.
Scott covers so much about being a Proud Jew, the Music Industry’s silence on Jew Hate, October 7th and everything Jews face today in that episode.
I’ll stick a link to the full episode in the comments. Be sure to subscribe to Jonah’s podcast.
Remarkable sentencing remarks when a UK judge quotes a Jewish proverb while sentencing a terrorist named Mohammad Bashir to life for planning an attack on a defence academy.
His accomplice, named Jihad(!) Al-Shamie was shot dead by police after the murder of two Jewish men at a Manchester synagogue.
As the old saying goes dirka dirka, Mohammad Jihad.

George Orwell’s ‘Antisemitism in Britain’ has sadly aged very well:
- Anti-Jewish sentiment in this country has long carried a distinctly middle-class sense of virtue

Baccara was a Spanish duo (Mayte Mateos and María Mendiola) who worked as dancers/singers in a hotel in the Canary Islands. German producer Ralf Siegel heard them singing and composed "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" especially for them in 1977. It was the first single of their career, #1 in the United Kingdom (first Spanish artist to achieve this), #1 in several European countries and sold more than 16 million copies worldwide.
I noted earlier that Inea Bushnaq, the New York woman in Mamdani's Nakba Day video, is from a Bosniak family (Bushnaq = بشناق = Bosniak) that settled in Ottoman Palestine in the 1880s – the same time the first modern wave of Jewish settlers arrived.
But the plot thickens...
I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel.
A thread. 🧵
Most 50-year-old men are still training like they're 25.
High volume.
High frequency.
Chasing soreness.
It's destroying your body — and killing your results.
Here's 4 Training Mistakes you need to stop after 50, and what to do instead:

It’s very simple: the Intifada was a campaign of suicide bombings, shootings and stabbings that killed hundreds of Israeli civilians. Calling for it to be “globalised” means bringing it here. That isn’t “criticising Israel”. It’s inciting violent hatred.
In April, eighty years ago, a British anti-fascist organisation was founded by Jewish ex-servicemen in the aftermath of the Second World War.
It was called the 43 Group. Its origins lay in the anger of men and women who had fought and defeated fascism in Europe returning home to find it resurrected on the streets of London.
They established a tradition of militant anti-fascism that survives even now.
