Utter bullshit. Let’s not inflate this into something that it’s not. Of course any incitement to violence should not be tolerated. But, if the UK is now seeking to ban criticism of the Israeli government policy of murder and genocide executed by its military, we’re on a slippery slope.

ICE - the latest incarnation of state-run terror police. The weapon of choice for authoritarian regimes to suppress their own people and ‘disappear’ the more troublesome. We’ve seen it all before with Gestapo, Stasi, KGB/FSB, Savak, Securitate and the rest. Usually followed by war or revolution.

Expect a column from Adrian Chiles on Monday about how pulp were good but he’d prefer to be wallpapering the downstairs loo or something…

Bit of free advice if you’re struggling with the heat in England. Do NOT open all your windows to ‘get some air through’. The air is hot in the day and opening your windows and curtains will get it into your house. KEEP EVERYTHING CLOSED and your home will stay much cooler, and you’ll sleep better.

Presumably because any criticism of genocidal war crimes committed by an Israeli government led by a corrupt, murderous butcher is taken to be anti-semitic?

People like Munira Mirza, who worked for, enabled or cheered on Boris Johnson, should consider their own responsibility for the rise of "celebrity" politicians & "consummate bluffers", who "care more about personal popularity than real achievements". 1/4 www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

A judiciary at war with itself. A Supreme Court at war with its people. A Supreme Court providing no checks and balances is simply a branch of the executive. Time to amend the constitution and end political appointments.

Today—after the war was supposed to be over, due to the alleged destruction of Iran’s nuclear program—Israel has bombed Shahid Beheshti University (a war crime) and a landmark in Tehran’s Palestine Square (a war crime) and launched the worst bombing of Tehran yet. Israel is out of fucking control.

This is what Brexit means to so many of us. Articulated by someone who can see it all objectively, one step removed. Worth a few minutes of anyone’s time - Brexiter or Rejoiner.

It’s the only way they can survive in office. Or, in Putin’s case, survive full stop. They’re Trump’s heroes and he may be heading in the same direction.

Modern live sports broadcasting is saturated with shots of the crowd looking excited and animated. Seems DAZN directors are going to struggle at FIFA’s ridiculous Club World Cup. Because there are no crowds. #FIFA #FIFACWC #football #soccer

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

You try to like him, @scaramucci.bsky.social because he intoxicates all you greedy dumbfucks with his stench of wealth and power. But wealth and power is not what you’re smelling. Grade A shit is what you’re smelling, and it sticks to every last one of you motherfuckers that ever enabled him.

The slide will be quite rapid and frightening from here on in. Trump needs to stoke division to justify his actions, and his actions will stoke further division. His arselickers will be emboldened, his opponents will be cowed. And his destruction of the United States of America will be complete.
