This such an insane take.
US has a murder rate almost 5x that of the UK.
Last year, the US had more mass shooting EVENTS than we had total murders.

This is what I'm talking about. Tommy is entitled to his views, entitled to say them out loud to whoever wants to hear them - but why do we think the below is ever an OK way to speak to another human?

I'd have more time for this if you'd said the same about the far right march a few weeks ago. Hatred is infecting our lives from all sides. We have to find a way of showing kindess, curiosity and compassion to those we disagree with.
The hate marches need to to stop.
The Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Police Chiefs need to take action.
Not spout meaningless platitudes. We’ve been reading the tweets and have listened to words of ‘solidarity’ for two years. Yet things are getting worse.
Since October 7th, the UK establishment has chosen to ignore unprecedented antisemitism on our streets, extremism in our institutions and two-tier policing.
As Home Secretary, I warned as much but was dismissed for speaking out.
Now: tragedy, heart-break, anger and fear.
We cannot continue like this.

Can't tell you how sad I find this... the ONLY ways we solve this is by listening, kindness, compassion and, yes, being nicer to each other.
Polling shows just a quarter of British Muslims believe Hamas committed rape and murder on Oct 7th. Over half of young British Muslims have more sympathy for Hamas than Israel. We are not going to ‘solve’ anti-semitism by being nicer to each other. henryjacksonsociety.org/wp-c…

Judean Peoples Front v Peoples Front of Judea
I will not be joning YourParty as it stands. It seems the party's database and money is now being controlled by Zarah nd a group of just three indivduals. I have cancelled my DD and asked for a refund. I want to join the other YourParty, the one building a mass party.

"We must have the courage to say no" - to 10 desperately ill children and their families. I have no words.
I have written to @wesstreeting about the recent arrival of ten Gazan children for NHS treatment, alongside their 50 'companions'. Why is that necessary?
This scheme will result in thousands and thousands of Gazans claiming asylum in the UK.
We must have the courage to say no.

For historical accuracy, this was absolutely the case for Jo Cox, where 25,000 people sent over 50,000 tweets celebrating her death - telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11…
Imagine sitting online in the aftermath of the murders of Jo Cox and David Amess and saying “well actually I disagreed with some of the things they said”

I thought what Abaraonye said was crass and unnecessary. But freedom of speech is freedom of speech - either you believe in it or you don’t.
The Oxford Union says President-elect George Abaraonye will now face disciplinary proceedings for his vile celebration of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
This only happened because we spoke out; institutions can be held to account.
The University should follow suit and expel him.

Of all the groups on the left the right could pick… the genial, over-earnest, sandal-wearing, tea-drinking Fabians? Yeah defo the enemy within 😂
And here we are. "The right are not the danger. And never were". Not Combat 18. Not Thomas Mair. Not David Copeland. Not Anders Breivik. But the Fabians. The Fabians are the danger...

I do hope Andy Marr is right. But I worry that he and I live in the same West London bubble - and the reality outside of the M25 is very different.
’Social media is selling ringside seats for a carnival of hatred… let’s not fall for it.’
After an ‘angry summer’ of immigration debate, @AndrewMarr9 warns against being ‘fooled’ by online discourse.

Or add 'other' before people. Poor grammar is nothing to get worked up about.
In trying to avoid offending anyone, the NHS comes up with strangled wording. 'Women and people with a cervix,' it says. Which basically makes it sound as though women don't have a cervix. Utterly ludicrous. Just say 'women' and leave it at that. (H/t @JamesEsses).

Were all these people always this racist? Have they just been waiting for a time when they can confidently shout their hate-fuelled rhetoric without fear? This is no country I recognise right now.

He has a seat and a vote in the House of Lords. By any definition, part of his role as Archbishop is as a politician.
“I don’t recall any sermons on immigration in the 60 years I’ve been going to church.”
After the Archbishop of York called his plan 'kneejerk,' Richard Tice says he should stick to preaching 'kindness' and 'leave policies to politicians'.

This is so tiresome and childish from a Leader of the Opposition. Disagree with Labour by all means, do it passionately - but name-calling? Accusations of theft? Meh.
Rachel Thieves doesn’t care who she steals from, just as long as she can get her hands on your hard-earned money.
