Brexit is like an airplane made of cheese. "Oh, it will fly if we engineer it better, if we paint it silver, if we use Cheshire instead of Tunworth": nope, still a terrible idea.
The BrExpress report on their poll to rejoin the Single Market that “total of 32,785 readers voted, with a staggering two-thirds, 69.5% (22,788 voters) answering “Yes”, Brexit ought to be undone.”
@GhorbaniiNiyak
Only too often we identify a people with their government, out of laziness more than malice. Your courageous actions made me a bit more aware, a bit less ignorant.
Thank you.
@moorehn
I tried a few years ago. It's not even completely men's fault: the whole process is flawed. I doubt I would have ever chosen my actual lovers from a catalogue: love has its quirks. The Apps are meat markets, only thinly disguised.
@Hamaddabh
You are basically morally justifying the position of the Israeli extremists who want to turn Gaza into a skating rink.
Erm... Ok, whatever rocks your boat I guess.
@DesignMuseum
One thing worth noting: they were meant to be slotted together in a row, like in a surreal lawn. I bet they weren't as expensive as they are now, since you were supposed to get several.
@guardian
I don't understand why you keep promoting this overegged poverty impersonator, whose generous gestures are all performative and self-aggrandizing, and who seems actually very conservative at heart.
@leekern13
I am British but also French / Belgian / Italian and I am sure all my co-nationals would be in the streets calling for the most extreme reactions, if 7/10 had happened in their cities.
@leekern13
As a convertee, these double standards, the rising antisemitism, embitter me a great deal. There I go, mutating from a normal woman to a cunning goblin, in the eyes of society at large.
It embitters me because it makes me realise that society at large is really quite cretinous.
@Hamaddabh
They ethnically cleansed you so well that the Gazan population has tripled in a few years. Stop throwing around empty slogans.
Israel won't win any prize for sainthood, but if you want to see the [main] root of the Palestinian problems, you should look far closer to home.

Transl.: I have a set opinion in my mind and will avoid cognitive dissonance by discounting / blocking off all that goes against it.
As for her "fulfilling her obligations" she has admitted herself she hadn't.
@guardian
Because in the past such feelings, if present, were ignored or discouraged. I was born in the 70s and I do remember several casas of gender dysphoria in my primary school class. But the thing didn't even have a name, let alone a space to be expressed.
@Hamaddabh
You're saying "all Palestinians are behind Hamas", e.g. "all Palestinians are Israel enemy, therefore, from the Israeli perspective, fair game".
@DesignMuseum
I remember Pratone in the swanky design magazines of my childhood. Those Pratone would no longer be usable due to the natural decay of the materials used. It's quite odd to think about.

Oh by the way, feel free to be disappointed in me too, even more so, since I am converting to Reform Judaism. I'll wear it as a tiny badge of honour: "once disappointed an obvious antisemite".
@DPJHodges
Yup, it's like those "but was he beheaded alive or dead?" discussions in the immediate aftermath.
We have truly gone through the looking glass.
@askdani__real
Pro-Palestinians never ever mention the hostages. It's like they didn't exist for them. And the world at large is starting to forget about them.
Thank you for the pithily reminder.
Wow, this is manipulative and self-serving beyond belief. Jack Monroe comes from the school of honesty of Boris Johnson.
The sociological angle of those who still believe her to be "a force for good" and those who find him "a man of the people" is ripe for picking.

I am friends IRL with a friend of his, who assures me he's the most lovely person (and I trust her judgment).
But the amount of woo he spouts is... perplexing, at best.

@guardiannews
Unfortunately I have come to expect weaselly words from the Guardian.
"n Palestinians killed" when the source is Hamas.
"n Israeli allegedly found their death, the Guardian has been unable to verify" when the source is the IDF.
@JewishNewsUK
@LBofHavering
So, let me understand: since it would be too hard / expensive to guarantee the safety at this event, you are asking a cultural minority to fly under the radar?
"Too many potential rapists who could get nervous, women stay home please".
@leekern13
Snap, I was thinking the same thing, about how the far Left has the habit of culminating every discussion with a dramatic jab "You're a ZIONIST!" like they expected the accused to squirm. Heck no mate, that's not the insult you think it is 😂.
@OwenJones84
You felt you had the right to make a video about Hamas horrors while wearing a jumper with a watermelon: a visual reminder that your allegiances lie with the side that includes the perps.
How you can mount on your moral high horse against anyone's rage is beyond me.
After reading AwfullyMolly about Jack Monroe, and seeing the leaked pictures of Supertanskii, I am now convinced that, if there is still a Twitter influencer that I admire, it's only because I haven't been paying enough attention to him/her.
@OwenJones84
Forgive me, but you filmed yourself describing (very critically) the film of Hamas atrocities while wearing a watermelon jumper: it was almost like a knowledgeable wink to your usual audience. Is that empathy? I appreciate and applaud that you're trying now, but you have form.
@Daniel_Sugarman
Wow, I had seen that blurb and was genuinely confused re: who those children were.
The whole blurb doesn't mention the word Jew once 😵

He was offered an account at NatWest. He is not being denied banking -- only banking under a prestigious, specific brand. I am not sure why the fuss. As a service provider owner myself, I'd be very worried if I couldn't choose my customers.

It does. The list of heirs to the throne is available online, if you google it. It includes some 2000 names and Andrew is among the first 10.

Wow. Twitter can be quite the cesspit. More power to you: you are doing a good job, clearly -- otherwise it wouldn't ruffle any feather...

You're overestimating their reach, but they have behaved in an unforgivable way -- no doubt about that.

In the dialect of my illustrious hometown, "it's easy to advocate for sodomy with other people's arses", and this is what you are doing with your insult. This man isn't blood-thirsty: he's hurt, hurt in a way you can't even conceive, let alone empathise with.
@v_j_freeman
Only too often the "be kind" brigade ends up being the nastiest. Also, the opening salve "I am kind" sounds distinctly like the classic "I am not a racist, but...".

@AwfullyMolly
she's referring to, I don't see how it can be construed as harassment. Don't get me wrong, I'd be unnerved if I was subjected to such intense scrutiny, but then I don't have a Patreon nor ask for money on the internet.
@LegalGengar
I think she opened up just tentatively, to gauge the public mood. I guess the experiment didn't produce the result she was hoping for 🤷🏻♀️
@leekern13
There will always be some minus habens trying to minimise the tragedy. I have read more than once "only one baby beheaded!" like it were true a and a good thing 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

By the way, everyone decries the enforced border between Israel and Gaza, but no one ever reproaches Egypt having had their border with Gaza closed for ages.
It's like Arab countries had no agency, and therefore were irreprochable whatever they do or don't do 🤔.
To my friends who decry "the disproportionate reaction of Israel" I'll tell you again: if this had happened closer to you, you'd call for an atomic to be dropped on Gaza.
And now you are starting to forget, to normalise it: "but no babies were beheaded!". Ah well, all fine then.
@Iabourite
According to the tankies, there are people who deserve a state of their own, and other who don't. There are good nationalisms (Palestine, some para-Communist states) and bad nationalisms (Israel).
@danielgoyal
I am sorry, but I detest hypocrisy; I find mildly obscene that a media darling is allowed to be so cavalier - at best - with other people's money. Of course, there are far worse problems at the moment, but she is a tiny piece of the pervasive decline of transparency and honesty.
@BenMFreeman
I live in Central London, and a part of me is tempted to go buy a magen david as big as a 33rpm and go strolling around the streets with it on my chest.
I am a small, unthreatening middle aged woman, Reform convertee, with a very mobile middle finger.
@GillianLazarus
Antisemitism and misogyny are the unacknowledged blights on the perspective of many so-called progressives. It isn't new -- I remember the tankies of the 90s not being that different. What is astonishing is that we see no improvement onto those times.
@OwenJones84
You still haven't addressed my point, and you're assuming the hectoring tone of moral superiority so relatively frequent in your public addresses.
I am wasting my time.

Immigrant here. I have a small b2b business with a modest turnover. Between corporation tax and personal tax I pay in about 40k per year. Most of my social circle of immigrants fare similarly.
But never let facts get in the way of a good prejudice, I guess.

Your rework is not only more intellectually honest than the original, it's also more bitterly witty. For a moment I thought / hoped it was genuine.

"We saw what happens when Palestinians are left to their own devices"
It's true, tho... I mean, I have zero sympathy for Netanyahu, and in principle I'd support a Palestinian state, but my impression is that they want the lot, not a fraction of "from the river to the sea".
@FionaIsrael1
I live, like, round the corner from this. Not only I need to weave my Saturdays around these obstacles, not only I must bear witness to so much stupidity, but the worse is that my taxes go to pay the policing of this. I am all for freedom of protest, but this is urban bullying.
