They censor "protect the dolls" but broadcast some racist encouraging their kid to yell "sink the boats" because their job is to engineer your complicity with atrocity.

the weaponisation of antisemitism in the uk is bonkers these ppl fire off antisemitic cartoons of polanski regularly but as soon as the subject of israel comes up they start calling everyone antisemites it's kind of comical if you can get past the coordination of it revealing we live under fascism

A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative. How many more?

The Times will now presumably bully itself to suicide since that's what they deem an appropriate punishment for alleged plagiarism

As honoured as I am to see that The Times has picked up my Chagos article practically *word for word*, including my hard-gotten quotes, I’d prefer some credit — or for everyone to read my original FT piece! free link to read the evidently enviable article below (cheaper than a Times sub!) 🌴

The white-supremacist Nathan Cofnas lied to the media about his job at Ghent University. But instead of double-checking it, the British media just took him at his word. ... Here are some relevant excerpts from Ghent University's letter to suspend him for what amounts to academic fraud.

the UK press attacked jason arday because it is deeply racist & so the idea of a black intellectual is abhorrent to them. they enjoy that they have killed him, they will be celebrating in private even as they offer tepid excuses in public. they're all nazi freaks and should be treated as such

Too often, the public conversation gives the impression that one narrow viewpoint speaks for all women. It doesn't. Over 100,000 UK women have already signed our letter because they believe in fairness, inclusion and treating trans+ people with kindness, compassion, and inclusively. Join us.

These messages are from UK women who know that behind every headline is a human being who deserves kindness, dignity and joy. We hope these words bring even a small moment of comfort to trans+ people in the UK today. 💗 #WithTheT #NotInOurName

The government’s transphobic code of practice is now up and running. But we’re not going to stand still and take it, we're supporting a legal challenge led by a trans person and a trans inclusive organisation. But we can only do this together. Will you join us?👇 goodlaw.social/ldco

Just in case there’s any doubt... they did say it is based on the vile transphobic bigot Alice Sullivans’s demand.

1/🧵 This is particularly bad because it also implicitly discourages recording gender identity and data exchange to maximise outing-in-fact, while presenting it as preventing outing-at-law. This is designed to harm trans people and will lead to excess mortality.

The word “genocide” is a precise legal term. And what has happened in Gaza matches the definition laid out in the 1948 Genocide Convention: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such.” - Omer Bartov, Israeli historian

Bus privatisation has failed. It's meant higher fares, fewer routes, and a broken system where companies put profits over passangers and the services they rely on. Scottish Greens will bring our buses back under public control.
