So disgusted by this…
Worked with Maureen in 2015 on a play, in Birmingham & London, & there were concerns for her safety even then.
This abysmally foul & downright dangerous attempt to demonise & cancel her should outrage & sicken us all.
Arts: SPEAK UP & OUT!
RT 🙏
Aberdeen (Scotland) "pro-Palestinian" activists are demanding a Jewish actress - who they portray as the devil - not be allowed to perform in a local theater production
This is gutter-level stuff

Love that haircut!!
Not many people know this but the symbol on Nottingham Forest's badge is an outline of Martin O'Neil's hair from when he played there.
Its often mistaken for a tree 🙄

The 'Rhodesia Solution': How to use word tricks to 'disclose' a scandal to a Prime Minister while allowing him not to act. And to say, later on, that he wasn't really told...

Nuance with humour.
He’ll never succeed; but good on him for trying 😉

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix?
As the Dad of a 17 year old son, I think @jimmycarr is spot on.
What do you think?

As @twin1pritch said, chapeau @NECircuitleader
If HMCTS continues to reduce funding, of course there’ll be a problem. But the problem is not that the system doesn’t work, it is that it hasn’t been allowed to work.
My favourite moment from yesterday.
@NECircuitleader giving the Minister a reality check on Labour’s nonsensical plans to limit jury trials to address the backlog.

When Marlowe’s British Kitchen opened in Leeds, Rabbi Gilbert asked the Muslim owners, Jenade Yamin and Arabaab “Paddy” Munir if they would consider making it kosher as well as halal. They did not have to. It meant change and cost. Paddy thought about it and said yes.
Now there are halal and kosher fryers side by side and one long queue for fish and chips. Orthodox Jews, Muslim families, neighbours from every background, ordering the same national dish.
Everyone remained unmistakably themselves, they simply widened the table and in that small act, you glimpse the country we can still choose to be.
(My grandfather was a kosher caterer, known for his fish. I inherited none of his skill!) @JewishNewsUK

This is so basic yet so powerful. Incredible stuff. And how many people, now, talking into account descendants?!
I may have something in my eye.
This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness.
Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust.
His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years.
Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!.
There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults.
Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence.
They were there, all alive — because of him.
Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren.
Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport.
Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106.
May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all.
Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.🕯️♥️

There’s a shopping centre in Merseyside called Liverpool One. So Everton Football Club opened a club shop there called Everton Two.
The official address is literally: Everton Two, Liverpool One.
Elite levels of pettiness. 😂🤣
