None were in good faith and virtually all were threatening/abusive/defamatory into the bargain but: had quite a few tweets asking if I "stand by" this review and the answer is yes, totally. Who Abdullah is doesn't significantly affect the film's content theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

Excellent words from @EllieChowns! 🙌 It's good news that the Environment Secretary is objecting to US hedge funds' outrageous attempt to take over Thames Water. But that's not enough. This government must commit to special administration - followed by permanent public ownership - without delay.

Yeah this always looked dodgy af, cops turning up in the middle of the night

To become rich from curing cancer, you have to withhold the cure from people suffering and dying from cancer. So yes, you don't deserve to get rich from curing cancer. Only in an exploitative and unethical system is this seen as acceptable.

It’s incredible to me how people have moved on from this. It still stands as a reminder of the worst tragedy in London’s modern history and it feels like it has been totally swept under the rug

Carns is asked where the extra £ for defence should come from. ".. I think there are places, such as moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups" Describing welfare as hand outs tells us all about Carns politics & who he wants to target - the sick, disabled, low paid, pensioners

Probably worth mentioning that much like basically every single former defence official currently shouting loudly for more billions to be spent on bombs, General Sir Nick works for an arms manufacturer

If a company tried selling apartments in apartheid South Africa in London, there would be outrage. Yet Labour is allowing a real estate fair marketing homes in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land. Labour rolls out the red carpet for Israeli war criminals, criminalises those resisting genocide, and keeps supplying arms to a genocidal apartheid state. Ban this event NOW.

Setting fire to houses with families inside them: legitimate concerns Criminal damage to an arms company supplying a genocide: terrorism

3 of the 4 people didn’t attack the police officer and all of the 4 were cleared of violent intent. So the only disgrace here is the lie you’re telling to justify a clear miscarriage of justice & the use of anti-terror laws to justify your government’s complicity in a genocide.

“More than £1m paid out by insurers” is now apparently sufficient justification for a judge to use terror legislation to sentence people who weren't prosecuted under those same laws. Property trumps the right to protest. Absolutely outrageous declassifieduk.org/palestine…

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

I wonder how quickly his feeling of satisfaction faded back into the dissociated numbness of addiction and alienation

Belfast had to shut down its Mean Girls Musical because their first Black Regina George literally isn't safe leaving her yard. Are you lot hearing me?

Just as an aside you'd wonder whether an extremely rich and influential man calling a British politicians a scumbag and a traitor ought to draw some comment from other politicians and political commentators

This is not Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is North Gaza.

I see *not* giving the military 28 billion pounds out of the welfare budget is “a political decision”, in a way that giving the military 28 billion pounds out of the welfare budget wouldn’t be political at all. The latter is, I assume, more of a natural occurrence, like a sunrise

The University of Kansas band learned the Algerian National Anthem to welcome the team before training. 🇩🇿 Absolutely incredible…
