I am still shaking from a soul-crushing Uber ride today in Dublin. It started with "Where are you from?" I said Iran, and the driver's face lit up as he thought he'd found a partner in his hate. He looked at me and said, "It must be crushing what the f***ing Israelis are doing to your country."
The moment I pushed back, the moment I told him the truth, that I support Israel and want to see the regime in Iran fall, he erupted in pure rage.
He began screaming about his uncle's high rank in the IRA, glorifying terror as a "success story" to justify the total erasure of Israel. To be trapped in a car with that level of brainwashed vitriol, being shamed and attacked for defending the Jewish people, is a burden I can't describe.
Being Iranian is so incredibly taxing. You spend your life fighting the regime that destroyed your home, only to have strangers weaponise your identity to justify their antisemitism. To my Jewish friends: I see the hate you face. I will never stop standing with you, no matter how much it costs. 🇮🇱🦁☀️

This is Sean Egan. He joined Morrisons at the age of 17.
After 29 years of dedication at supermarket chain, he was dismissed for confronting a shoplifter, which led to a scuffle with thief who spat at him.
A shameful decision by @Morrisons.
He should be thanked, not sacked.

Ooft! Diane Abbott just ended Keir Starmer political career.
"Knowing Peter Mandelson's history, going back 30 years, it's one thing to say 'nobody told me', the question is WHY DIDN'T THE PM ASK?"
When Diane Abbott, of all people, has the moral high ground, you know it's over

If we simply rename the English Channel “Keir Starmer’s desk” then nothing will fucking cross it

The 15th of April is a sad date in British comedy history. On this day we lost three of our greatest - Arthur Lowe in 1982, Tommy Cooper in 1984 and Kenneth Williams in 1988. Remembering them all today with a huge nostalgic smile.

MUST WATCH: Video shows the exact moment Kirk Moore, principal of Pauls Valley High School in OK, tackled and disarmed a would-be school shooter.
His man's heroic actions protected the lives of everyone in that school.
He is an American HERO!

Newly released surveillance video just dropped showing the exact moment a 20-year-old coward walked into Pauls Valley High School, Oklahoma with two pistols screaming he wanted “to do another Columbine.”
His first target? Principal Kirk Moore.
Instead of hiding or waiting for SWAT, this absolute sheepdog charged straight at the gunman. Took a bullet to the leg, ripped the pistol out of the shooter’s hands, and pinned that piece of garbage to the floor.
Evil walked through the front doors looking for headlines.
A real American hero put it down in seconds.
This is exactly what we mean when we say we need more men like Kirk Moore.
Give that principal a damn medal. 🇺🇸

"I can't stand innuendo. If I see one in a script I whip it out immediately."
The late great comedy actor, wit and raconteur Kenneth Williams died this day 1988. A hero who I was proud to meet and who exceeded all expectations
