The IDF have committed every war crime under the sun.
Indiscriminate murder of unarmed civilians, including the starving as they search for food.
Mass destruction of civilian infrastructure. Kidnapping. Torture. Rape.
For some reason this has provoked strong emotions

He didn’t say that.
He chanted “Death to the IDF”.
If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest.
This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam.
Hilarious to watch him squirm.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

None of this takes away from those affected understandably being opposed to the change. Fair enough. But given this debate is now seeing totally untrue claims all over the shop important for it to be informed by the facts

Kids sleeping on coats in hospital corridors ...nothing
Kids living in temporary accomodation because of greedy landlords/Benefit cuts 150,000 .......nothing
Families forced to use foodbanks ... nothing
Farmers kids only going to Inherit 3.8 million instead of 4 million . 'It's so unfair'

200 farmers might have to pay some IHT - UPROAR from the right!
Every single UK family losing £000s in higher tax and inflation from Brexit - SILENCE from the right!
What a shower.

It's @BAFTAScotland awards day, & you'd hope Scottish media might think about more than what dress we're wearing. They could have talked about the @OliverOhlbaum report 👇 & have thoughts on what's needed if our TV sector is to survive the next decade...

The "screen sector" is a diverse place. Significant growth in some areas (film especially high-end TV) should not mask the crisis in regular TV. It's not enough to have some production jobs on other peoples' projects, we need PSB quotas/rules focused on our creativity OOL

Why is a programme that is bought, sold and owned in London able to qualify as Scottish? It is absolutely for @Ofcom and the BBC to answer that.
14 Nov 2024
New research shows that London-based production companies have delivered majority of Scottish network quota hours for the BBC. I will be raising with both Ofcom and BBC. Read the report for @screenscots here👇 #BBC #Scotland screen.scot/news/2024/novemb…

Here's how we at @ScotNational tracked Tommy Robinson down to his Cypriot hideaway.
It all came down to clues he handed out himself.

Never forget UK broadcasting 's complicity with the Far Right - LBC gave Farage & his awful racist views a lucrative contract for his own show & the BBC invited him on QT 36 times . Previously , he'd been employed on the Russian government funded channel Russia Today .

I'm sorry I was under the impression that you were the people who employed Nigel Farage but I guess I'm mistaken

If anyone doubts the fate of those about to be arrested, I represented clients during the 2011 London riots. The CJS was brutal. Bail refused prior to court. People remanded in custody however minor their involvement pending trial at the Crown Court for heavier sentencing. 1/
