Ah, so kids making the gas chamber hiss at Jewish kids is just about Israel is it? I deal with and other absurdities in my Jew-Hatred: the Latest Edition.
The revealing admission in @mehdirhasan’s post - which he completely misses, accidentally or not - is that rising anti-Israel hatred fuels rising attacks on Jewish school kids, because they are Jewish.

And for the £30 each government bag costs, I could get 3 Paw Patrol ones and still have cash left over for stationery and a water bottle 🤦🏼♀️

Lord above, she has such a gross, off-putting manner about her, with the breathy-ness and hand waving...
And then she described Stella Creasey as having "a brilliant mind..."
Switched off.
Samantha Niblett talking absolute hypocritical bollocks again by suggesting an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) will attract an echo chamber because it's being chaired by Rosie Duffield- someone she disagrees with, hence why she won't attend! 🤦🏻 #parody

Instead of calling Graham Linehan racist, Peter Smith should have advised his daughter not to star in that gov-funded Dublin Rape Crisis Centre ad where she sneers at her white grandparents for daring to hug her.
This is racial division dressed up as state propaganda.

Look at Yemen in the 1960s, the same as Afghanistan and Iran.
The Disappearance of the woman by Boushra Almutakawel has happened all over the Middle East, please don't let it happen in the UK, it already is in parts of Leicester.

Supreme Court of Victoria throws out a convicted prisoner's claim that a ban on Vegemite breaches his right to his culture as an Australian. 👏
Now do men who claim a right to serve their time in a women's prison.
Why Stop At Football?
Scotland's frontline cops are calling for the the power to unmask football hooligans and 'ultras'
Surely this power should extend to anyone covering their face in public including protesters on pro-Pal, pro-Hamas demonstrations

Pathetic Leadership
After 7 years of supposedly intensive local negotiations the Glasgow branch of Unison is urging members to reject a new pay scheme which will benefit low paid women workers and end pay discrimination against traditional, female dominated jobs
How absurd!
The original Scotland wide agreement was signed 27 years ago (the 1999 Single Status Equal Pay Agreement) and Unison members across Scotland voted overwhelmingly to support its introduction at the time
The original deal included 3 years pay protection

Glasgow Faces The Axe!
Scotland's largest council - Glasgow - faces the axe over SNP plans to 'reform' Scottish local government by cutting the number of councils from 32 to just 6
glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2666…
But what do Glasgow councillors and others across Scotland have to say about the likely effect on local services and local democracy?
The Greens in Glasgow are calling on the SNP to rethink their approach - if their plans are to have credibility

Do Scottish Councillors Have A Backbone?
John Swinney and the SNP have announced plans to cut the number of Scottish councils from 32 to just 6 without consulting anyone in advance or explaining what benefits will arise from taking an axe to local services and local government
