Just had this through the door. One of the pettiest, most miserable letters I’ve ever seen.
Fining people for letting their children walk around? Jesus.
He went to watch Man City play a pre-season friendly in Denmark, but couldn’t get a ticket.
He blagged his way in by telling the security he was from the BBC and was making a documentary about Kevin Keegan. Ended up sat on the subs bench during the game.
An octopus encircling the globe beneath a Star of David is one thing.
Saying that any depiction of an octopus in any form is a trope is absolute bollocks, you ridiculous twat.
I dispute the claims made by another academic below.
The image of the octopus as a representative of Jewish 'world domination' is a well established form/trope of antisemitism.
In this cartoon from Nazi Germany, Churchill is represented as the octopus, controlled by Jews.

The difference being the ones on the right want anyone not born like them to be driven out of existence, and the ones on the left think nobody should be allowed to go without food or shelter.

Because when you've accepted having to hide for *decades*, it's harder to overcome that ingrained fear of being outed than it is for a young person who's been brought up in a more accepting environment.
That, and huge numbers of the older LGBT community were wiped out by AIDS
I’m not going to defend Diane Abbott’s comments, but I’m also not going to hear a word of condemnation from those who’ve perpetuated, defended or ignored racism aimed at her. Which is most of the right of the Labour Party. Hypothetical scum.
People are obviously right to be very angry about the Philip Schofield situation, but maybe have a think before posting photos of the young guy he was with all over Twitter, cos he’s done fuck all wrong and doesn’t deserve the shitstorm of attention he’s going to get.
Labour seeking to make it clear that Rachel Reeves' plane ticket wasn't paid for by the Party. It was paid for by a donor.
Which is, apparently, less concerning.
I'm sure they paid several thousand pounds out of sheer kindness towards Reeves, and expect nothing in return.
Worth remembering that Tommy Robinson has never exposed one solitary paedophile, let alone rings of them.
He’s had quite a few associates turn out to be paedophiles though, and never seems to find the time to say or do anything about them.
I spent a large chunk of my 20s in an extremely low place, and honestly didn’t think I’d see 30.
Today I turned 40, and things are pretty damn good. I think I’m pretty lucky now all things considered.
The hysterical overreaction to this from both right-wingers and the usual centrist apologists is pathetic.
It's an entirely harmless two second interruption aimed at a man responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
@LeeAndersonMP_
Why do you think people should barely exist on awful food with no nutrition?
In one of the richest countries on Earth, are you not embarrassed that this is how you expect millions of people to live?
More than 60% of existing cases are antisemitism cases?
But I thought Starmer had ended it?
He’s had almost three years now. So, what you’re saying is what we all knew - he’s achieved fuck all on that front and you’re all pretending it was just an issue under Corbyn.
@Chris_Davis1998
Antisemitism is still more than 60% of disciplinary cases, so naturally we have put an emphasis on tackling that. That doesn’t mean we don’t take the other forms of racism and trust me I’m the first to talk about anti black racism and Islamophobia as a black Muslim!
The DWP have been putting a good mate of mine through Hell for the last couple of years, denying him money he’s clearly entitled to.
Finally had his tribunal today. Just had a message to say he won. Absolutely made up for him, but it’s appalling they put people through this.
Staggered to learn the Met Police have banned their officers from wearing the thin blue line patch.
Police officers can wear rainbows, poppies and Help For Heroes accoutrements. So they can remember the Armed Forces’ fallen, but not their own.
Shameful,
@metpoliceuk

Because calling someone a racist in this country still means something. We are a proudly non racist country. I won’t stand by and watch my home denigrated in this way.
God bless 🇬🇧
Exclusive: Channel 4 News has seen a letter signed by Black Labour MPs calling on Sir Keir Starmer to take "urgent action" on anti-Black racism in the party following the Forde report.
It's just embarrassing watching people's reaction to this. He was perfectly polite until she wouldn't leave him alone, then he was very mildly dismissive. People need to get a fucking grip.
Jeremy Corbyn has refused to be drawn on his future as an MP.
Sir Keir Starmer will propose a motion on Tuesday that will make clear the party's ruling body, the National Executive Committee, will not endorse his predecessor to fight for his Islington North seat
@0meg45
It’s nothing fishy, it’s just the audience who’ve seen it so far are all the fans who rushed to watch it as soon as possible and would say it’s great no matter what.
Why do people need to look for a conspiracy in everything? 😂
How can you possibly say “There is no place for hatred of any kind in our society” when you don’t even comment on it when it exists among your own MPs?
My thoughts are with the victims of this awful homophobic attack and their families and friends as they recover.
There is no place for hatred of any kind in our society.
Oh fuck off.
What ‘reasonable argument’ is there to be had with Linehan, an obsessive bigot who just calls every single person who doesn’t want trans people to not exist a paedophile?
And it was a stand up show, not a debate club. There would be no conversation about anything.
Every single thing Labour says is just "we won't make things worse - we'll keep them exactly as shit as they are now"
No ambition. No hope. No empathy. No leadership.
I know what it feels like when times are tough.
I’m determined to help everyone who is finding it tough now.
That’s why my Labour government would freeze your council tax this year.
Well done Starmer. Not only have you let the Tories get away with a pay rise that isn't anywhere enough, but they even get to tell everyone it's better than Labour would do.
Forensic.
🚨Labour official making inappropriate racial remarks about Black Jewish activist at public event. Believes she has ‘inner conflict’ and is not ‘celebrating’ her heritage.
Name and CLP?😮
AI just changed the game in filmmaking 📽️

10 favorite examples that will blow your mind:
In the 70s working 7 days a week down t'pit my dad grew veg and kept chickens in our garden. That was our foodbank. My dad voted Tory for the 1st time in 2019. He will again at the next election. A great man. Comments turned off to send the left in to meltdown. But u can like 🙂
Once again Notting Hill Carnival marred by serious violence - and attacks on Police Officers. 75 of our colleagues assaulted. Six bitten. One sexually assaulted. One in hospital. This is absolutely disgusting. No wonder our members dread policing this event.

I remember when she prevented Labour from opposing austerity and thousands upon thousands of people died.
Probably the single biggest impact she’s had on people’s lives in her political career, odd you forgot to mention it.
Brilliant to celebrate 40 years of
@HarrietHarman
in Parliament last week.
Harriet pioneered Labour’s Equality Act through Parliament in 2010.
The next Labour Government will build on that legacy of tackling structural inequality with a new, landmark Race Equality Act.
It is no secret Britain is stuck in a low growth trap, but it does not have to be this way.
As Chancellor, I will get our economy firing on all cylinders so working people feel better off.
@Martin_Abrams
Trying to establish whether it’s the property management company or the site managers (never seem to know which does what). But yeah, this will be going further, all the other residents seem to agree it’s bollocks.
Fantastic. Like Shoplifters, it’s an extremely good piece of social commentary, covering some highly delicate topics very well.
Song Kang-ho was excellent as always, but Lee Ji-eun was the real standout. A superb performance as a young mother faced with some impossible choices
I was incredibly impressed by Shoplifters a couple of nights ago, so going for another by Hirokazu Kore-eda. Heard good things about this, and I always look forward to seeing Song Kang-ho in something.
Huge fan of his, got every album, seen him live 8 or 9 times but what with this and the fact he’s still palling around with Johnny Depp, he can absolutely get fucked.
Just got to the Arena, and there’s nothing a bunch of lying, right-wing wankers can do about it.
Solidarity with all those who actually oppose fascism, authoritarianism and state violence and the victims of those brutal regimes.
People really have let their minds become poisoned to the idea that your self-worth is tied to your job.
So many people in this thread saying they couldn’t give up work cos they’d get bored.
With £10k a month to spend? Talk about a lack of imagination.
@HelenRSalisbury
A lot of people are standing in solidarity with you. I'm sure you appreciate that (I hope you do).
However, they won't do for long if you keep belittling other occupations like this.
@wesstreeting
@HodderBooks
@HodderNonFic
Does it explain why, despite coming from that background, you now dedicate so much energy to opposing anything that would help working class people?
Today at work I learnt of the death of a colleague. I retreated to the toilets to cry & was joined by other women as we hugged & mourned & remembered a wonderful person.
Imagine if our grief had been interrupted by an entitled man with a sexual fetish

@RebekahLove27
It's just so embarrassing.
Johnson's going off to earn more money than he's even had in his already wealthy life, and our politics won't change one bit.
Wow, what a victory!
He changed his mate's name in his phone to Kevin Keegan, then got his mate to ring him while he was talking to the security guards.
He showed them the incoming call from 'Kevin Keegan' and they walked them both in.
His mate spent part of the game signing autographs for fans. So if you've got a bunch of Man City autographs, and you're wondering who the fuck Tom Lee is, now you know.
Absolutely absurd that the batshit right-wing wanker is ploughing ahead with this.
Even more absurd that people have to fund a defence against this kind of bullying shite.
Full support and solidarity
@I_amMukhtar
I've set up a crowdjustice linked to my solicitor, Laurence Fox is going a head with it because he's a bully. I'll share the link when it gets approved.
NEW: Kate Forbes has backed controversial anti-trans campaigner Graham Linehan after two Edinburgh venues refused to host his Fringe show.
The SNP MSP said it was 'remarkable' that Linehan had had 'such a difficult time', and said comedians had a right to cause offence
It's heartening to see young people like this holding Starmer and Labour to account in a way that journalists and most of the Party's MPs will never do.
He's a fucking chancer, and is quite happy to sell the future of coming generations down the river to serve the wealthy.
This is going to be happening more and more, Keir. Millennials and Gen Z make up a large portion of your voting base and at the moment boomers still lean heavily Tory. You can't get elected by Gen X alone.
If two MPs (her husbands is John Cryer) have managed to get to a point where they literally have no food to give their children, I think that highlights more their own failings, rather than those of Tesco.
Hello
@Tesco
my delivery was due between 4 - 5pm. Called at 6pm told running 2 hours late. Now been told it hasn’t left the depot & may not arrive at all. Got 2 small kids & 1 parent at home & nothing in for breakfast. Do you think this is acceptable service?
@jake_swinburne
Most of your party's shadow cabinet is either racist, transphobic, thinks disabled people don't deserve support or just flat-out hates workers, people on benefits or anyone who's poor.
So what's your point?
a) How does someone who’s nearly 40 and claiming to be a fan not know how much of a twat Gene Simmons is? It’s all he’s famous for now. He’s like the glam Morrissey.
b) Kiss aren’t heavy metal you daft twat.
