“Don’t come back to Peckham!” A walk of shame for police and immigration enforcement officers, leaving the estate after releasing the person they detained. Community solidarity works.

This is not impartiality. This is anti-Palestinian racism: "The Department for Education has previously flown the Ukrainian flag and encouraged pupils to do so" Palestine? "Education Secretary Lucy Powell: "Schools are a place to be impartial." middleeasteye.net/news/uk-sa…

Zack is the 'wrong kind of Jew' for these extremists at the JC.
What an extraordinary stance by Zack Polanski, appearing to dismiss a major report on antisemitism in schools and using it as an opportunity to attack the Board of Deputies.

1. Palestinians have a right to use force against Israeli occupation soldiers 2. Palestinians have a right to use force against settlers attacking them on their own land 3. Israel is committing genocide not just in Gaza, but in all of Palestine (and also Southern Lebanon)

Heidi Bachram is there a reason why you cropped out our logo from our statement and are systematically silencing Jewish Anti-Zionist Voices? It’s pretty antisemitic to assume all Jews favor and support a genocidal and colonial “state” committing a genocide. Free Palestine!
🚨Antizionists are targeting the Jewish community AGAIN simply for wanting to find out about moving to Israel. They make life unbearable for Jews here and then object to them leaving. Unbelievable.

Much like the Cass Review, the Bell Review cloaks ready-made conclusions in the guise of pseudo-academic inquiry, only this time the government preempted critique by feeding friendly media agreed lines before anyone could comb through it. The truth is out but the damage is done.
Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

quite cathartic to watch that Ashok Kumar tell bastano to his face that novara are a load of establishment shills, for all their bloviating about "commentary you won't get in legacy media", and then implying michael walker has never read a book

Apparently bombarding equivalent to 13 Hiroshimas, sterilising the soil, poisoning the water, and prohibiting even a single seed from entering Gaza - so ECOCIDE is not an issue Greens should be concerned about.
Have the Greens become a single issue party? That issue not being the climate.

The proposed policy is unenforceable. It will collapse under mild legal pressure. If your boss makes you take off your Palestine badge but lets colleagues wear a poppy, an Ukraine flag, or comparable symbols, just sue them. And then donate your damages to an anti-Zionist org.

The most notable thing about this is how the old talking points just don't work anymore. For the first time in decades, they are being openly and effectively contested. And it's not just Ashok or the Greens. Many people have seen through them. That doesn't go back together.
Went on BBC Politics Live to discuss why Zionism is a racist ideology. The anchor and all three panelists looked like they were about to cry at the end. Very weird behaviour. Join the Green Party.

Cloud Video Platform (CVP) is down across large parts of England and Wales since 10am. Many of us today, both as prosecution and defence counsel, can not proceed with trials and other hearings. Our work to clear backlogs is hampered. Please urgently let the CBA know which court has been impacted. On this thread. (DM for which case please to contain sensitive material). With thanks @HMCTSgovuk notice:

thats right, you heard what Benjamin said, the little door is always open
"Communism is possible at every moment. To date what we call History is nothing but a set of roundabout means invented by humans to avert it."

People will look back in history and think Shami Chakrabarti must have had her head in her hands because someone was defending the genocide in Palestine, only to realise it was actually because someone pointed out that the ideology which produced that genocide might be racist.

Every time the BBC airs the crocodile tears of a British zionist who feels “hurt and upset” at being told their ideology is racist, Hind Rajab enters my mind: six years old, trapped in a car with her murdered family, pleading to the Red Crescent to save her.

The BBC still peddling the dangerous myth that states have a "right" to exist – an idea invented to bully politicians into silence on Israel's mass-murder of Palestinians. I explain why international law – wisely – denies states a "right" to exist: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…
“I don’t think any state has a right to exist" Green Party leader Zack Polanski says he “supports whatever the Israelis and Palestinians need to live side by side with equal rights” when asked whether he supports a two-station solution #BBCLauraK bbc.co.uk/news/live/c64gv8k2…

I *think* the key might be in 'Baroness.' People, she was always a liberal, why the shock and pain?
Shami Chakrabarti condemns the Green Party’s Zionism is racism motion on #PoliticsLive “It’s not even fair to student unions to call this student union politics”. She describes the motion as “wrong and highly inflammatory”

There are alleged reporters, journalists, truth-tellers, literally lying directly to you face about what's going on in France. Completely fabricating things, inventing them out of nothing. It's vile.

How many of the really great novelists have been more than philosophical dabblers? The main exception I can think of is Proust, and even then, it’s not the stereotypical Bergsonian content but a philosophy of production incarnated in the work. George Eliot plausibly too.
A novelist should be a philosopher, not a newspaper reporter. The great novelists tried to explain the human condition. Contemporary novelists seem content merely to describe it.
