He lives in Britain and was granted UK citizenship. The Muslim Brotherhood brings him to universities to lecture students, while he openly calls for your deaths in HD. You call him an activist. In the UAE, we call this terrorism and ban the Muslim Brotherhood. You don’t.

Listen to the shouts of the loathsome excuses for human beings in the audience.
They "don't care" about her insufferable loss.
They do not even attempt a "yes, but what about what came next?" gambit.
They simply spew hatred.
These are truly wretched people, the very worst of us.
אני באמסטרדם.
הגעתי אתמול, ובעוד כמה שעות אחזור הביתה.
בשבוע האחרון הייתי מעורב, יחד עם חברים מעמותת ״עד כאן״ בתכנון ובביצוע של המחאה בהקרנת הבכורה של הסרט ״נאזה״, שהתקיימה היום בדלפט שבהולנד. באתי לתרום מההיכרות שלי עם המקום, עם השפה ועם המנטליות ולהשמיע את האמת באולם.
הייתי בקולנוע עם החברים ועם סבין תעסה, ניצולת שבעה באוקטובר. צילמתי, שמעתי, וכאב לי מאוד. ביומיים האחרונים התכוננו לרגע הזה יחד עם קבוצה של אנשים אמיצים וחזקים.
סבין היא אישה אמיצה וגיבורה אמיתית, עם עוצמות שקשה לתאר.
הקריאות שהופנו אליה באולם כשהיא ניסתה לספר את סיפורה מהשביעי היו נוראיות. צעקו לעברה ״לא אכפת לנו״ ו״חבל שהגרמנים לא גמרו אתכם״. קשה לי לתאר מה הרגשתי כששמעתי את הדברים האלה מופנים לאם שכולה.
חזרנו למלון באמסטרדם. חברי הקבוצה היו בהלם מעוצמת השנאה שחווינו באולם, למרות כל הצעקות שלי ברשת בשנה האחרונה אפילו אני הופתעתי, יצאתי ללכת לבדי בעיר שהייתה לי בית במשך כמעט עשרים שנה.
מבאס
אבל דבר אחד ברור לי: לא נשתוק מול שנאה כזאת. נמשיך להשמיע את קולנו ולהגיב לה בנחישות.
הסברה ? התקפה!
שבת שלום לכולם.

I think we need a chat about local government tendering.
This public thing may be rubbish but there’s a couple of councillors and/or council officers with really lovely new decking in their garden.

You gotta be kidding me dude
Waited since I was 7 years old to see the Bayeux Tapestry. Got in an hour-long online queue to spend £50 on tickets. Got there ahead of time. Stood in a queue for 20 minutes. Then was told halfway through the queue that the gallery was closing.
The @britishmuseum stinks 😭

I'm going to plant my flag, and say that the UK will not join the EU within the next 25 years. Not going to happen.

Speaking as the elderly mother of three youngsters, who hasn’t had a sex change and knows many homosexuals, it is my able-bodied and sexually-preferred opinion that the Greens are turning into total nutters.

BBC Four reran some of Sir John Betjeman's television programs recently. The contrast was enormous: there was a generation that thought that TV could be done well enough as to approximate to something like art.

“Saint Pancras was a fourteen-year old Christian boy who was martyred in Rome in AD 304 by the Emperor Diocletian. In England he is better known as a railway station.”

Today we are incredibly grateful for the courage and quick action by pilot Cpt. Smit Machchhar who was stabbed by his copilot on FZ1073, yet still managed to open the cockpit door and call for help before collapsing. His heroism in the moment of crisis saved over 170 lives today.
Israelis are all wishing him a full recovery and are thankful for his leadership. 🙏🏽 🇮🇱 🤝 🇮🇳

Give this man a medal
One of the Israeli passengers who subdued the pilot-hijacker on board flydubai FZ 1073 told PM Netanyahu that the stabbed captain managed to open the cockpit door before collapsing. This enabled the passengers to enter and seize the attacker, as he was attempting to destroy the aircraft systems and crash the plane.

Footage from the plane landing in Saudi Arabia: Passengers who have survived a suspected hijacking and pilot suicide homicide attack singing "Am Yisrael Chai" the people of Israel live, a famous and powerful rallying cry for Jewish resilience.

The Irish goalkeeper withdrew from match against Israel, at least placing his money where his mouth was & running risk of losing his place.
The others opted for the much safer option of approved, coordinated, performative outrage of armband, bowed heads & disrespect to opponents.

🇮🇱 Israel’s captain Manor Solomon on Irish players after losing 3-0 to them:
🗣️ Solomon: "They don’t interest me. We have a country ten times better than theirs, stronger, an amazing country with amazing people.
We are proud to wear the team shirt and to be Israelis. We are proud of our state and of our soldiers. [The Irish] can play all their tricks. We are Israelis and love the country. And that will always be the case."

More information emerging about the conviction of Del Somerville (jailed for two years for throwing a plastic bottle and telling police officers to 'F**k off' at a protest against the small boats).
The court heard that Somerville had played a relatively minor role at the incident, had tried to pull another protester away when he confronted police, actually lived at the marina rather than travelled there for the purpose of protesting, and that the plastic bottle he threw was 'small' or 'empty'.
It's impossible, in the context of wider sentencing policy in this country, to avoid the conclusion that the sanction handed down to Somerville amounts to two-tier justice.

Green Motion car rentals: in the name of human decency please investigate/stop the rogue operation going on under your name at Corfu airport. Innocent families in tears, brutal and unjust on-the-spot added charges, their so-called “scratches scam” and more. Trustpilot is awash with warnings about Green Motion Corfu airport and it is so transparently dishonest. Is anyone on here from Green Motion who can help? Someone please investigate this racket. *Please RT.

Zoe Hollowood is incredibly brave to challenge her party in this way. I know what it’s like to state biological sex is real and be attacked for speaking common sense and telling the truth. She is not on my side of the political spectrum, but courage calls to courage everywhere.
Zoe should be supported in trying to get the Lib Dems to stop being silly, follow the law and respect the supreme court judgement.
Yesterday our chair @hollowood_zoe asked @LibDems conference in a trans debate:
"In 2026, are women allowed rights?
Rights to dignity.
Rights to safety.
Rights to say no."
Conference resoundingly voted 'no' thus deciding that women were second class citizens. 🧵
