Perhaps they could be identified by being made to wear - and I don't know, I'm just spitballing here - a yellow Star of David?

The mean average maximum temperature in Northern Ireland (and previous area) since 1841.
Anything interesting?

You’re 10x more likely to die than to be fired from a UK government department

UK government departments fire people for poor performance at 1/600th the rate of private companies.

For every person they fired for being incompetent, there are 599 incompetent people who didn’t get fired.

That adds up. Imagine if a business behaved this way!

We need government to be meritocratic, competence hierarchies that reward performance and reject inefficiency.

Until this happens it’s hard to trust government with more money.

@richardtgarland If someone claims to be a Unionist, but states they'd consider voting for a UI, they aren't a Unionist.

Religion and other factors are of no relevance to this simple premise.

[Whywouldthatbe? @whywouldthatbe]

@richardtgarland The point I've been seeing under discussion is focused on the simple fact that all Unionists share one ambition - continuance of the Union of GB and NI.

For me that's the only central tenet of Unionism as otherwise we're a fairly broad church with a wide range of views.

Well he certainly showed solitary with Hamas on Oct 7, Harry. NB Don’t mansplain misogyny to a woman - especially not when it’s in defence of a man whose wife needs to lift a veil to eat

I am a Zionist. Many people out there don’t seem to understand what a Zionist is - and what it isn’t - so here you go.

I believe in the existence of a Jewish home land, Israel, in the land of Judea, where it currently is.

As a Zionist, I do not automatically agree with or support everything the country does, nor do I automatically agree with every government, every politician, every decision.

As a Zionist, I am free to criticize policies and governments of Israel, just the same as I am to criticize the Canadian government or the American government or any other government.

I can believe that the Israelis who spit on Christians should be charged, and I do.

I can believe that the violence in Judea and Samaria needs to be stopped, and I do.

I can believe that every single Israeli, regardless of religion, who commits rape, should be tried and should face the harshest punishments, and I do.

I can believe that every single war crime committed by an Israeli should be prosecuted, and I do.

I can believe that Israel should be held to the same standards of every other nation, and I do.

The only things I don’t do, because I’m a Zionist?

Call for the destruction of the only Jewish nation in the world.

Hold them to a far higher standard than everyone else, just because they’re Jewish.

Spread false propaganda about them, just because they’re Jewish.

Because even though you pretend that’s “antizionism”, it’s just masking your true motives.

Jew hatred.

Incredible.

If you want a handy list of people who work for Israel, look at everyone criticizing Graham Platner now, especially Democrats. I get why Republicans want to tear him down. But Democrats attacking their own candidate only happens when they are ordered to do so by their handlers.

@GuntherEagleman I respect the fact he seems to consider issues and has a conscience, rather than voting along party lines without any consideration for what those lines might be.

[TimForAlI 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪 @timmyvoe]

The question isn't if the current Labour government is lying to us or not, it's been well and truly established that they are.

Nor is it how many lies have they told us whilst in office, there's so many it's hard to keep track.

The question is

Have they ever told the truth?

[Alex Phillips @ThatAlexWoman]

A serious country does not swap its greatest leader on its banknotes for little animals

Imagine India ditching Gandhi for a monkey. Or the USA dropping Washington for a racoon

This is the rot that is eating away at our confidence, identity and cohesion:

Bank dropped Churchill after being told he was ‘elitist’

Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.

Once again we ask:
Why has the UK STILL NOT designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation? It was embarrassing before, it’s off the scale now. Great article by @potkazar https://t.co/quRRGykrfO

[Frank Stephens @justrightFrank]

This cop raped a 7 year old girl 3 times a week for 8 years.
He;
Threatened witnesses.
Pestered a 14 year old girl.
Abused another child and turned up drunk for work.
We all know who David Carrick is but no one knows who Mohammed Younis is?
Two Tier MSM?

@News_Letter IRSP involvement seems to be overlooked.

Some interesting participants in this so called march for Gaza! 🙄

@LarryTaunton Opinions in the UK are split on Trump.

Opinions on Starmer not so much. The chances of encountering two people who'd defend our current government are slim.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

It's like JD Vance hasn't even heard of breakfast clubs.
