🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: International Court of Justice declares "Israel" illegitimate and ordered its withdrawal from Palestine. Repost this if you want Netanyahu arrested.

Just a thought, BBC Scotland - but perhaps continually and relentlessly telling Scottish folk that they and the country in which they live are shite isn't a particularly effective marketing strategy. Hope this helps. dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2023/07/bbc-sc…

Tricky, because I already know what genitals my husband has. Would you accept both of us acting surprised once we’re naked? Or could we just shake hands first and agree that we’ll soldier on even if something’s changed since last time?

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism. As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.

Mayflies at Brown’s of Leith Grid Iron’s Mayflies, adapted from Andrew O’Hagan’s novel, finds the perfect Fringe home: a story rooted in post-industrial Scotland, staged inside a former Leith metalworks. Here, the venue becomes part of the story. #EdFringe flic.kr/p/2suzvtD

Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London — a performance site since 1683, named after Richard Sadler and his medicinal well. Today’s theatre opened in 1998, incorporating fabric from F.G.M. Chancellor’s 1931 theatre for Frank Matcham & Co. Now a world centre for dance. #London #Theatre #Architecture flic.kr/p/2stYT8w

No British journalists are prepared to confront the extent of Israeli control in the UK or they will have their own careers ended by charges of anti-semitism. #Newsnight

#Newsnight What an absolutely waste of time is this edition. How many times have we gone through this splitting hairs on what is antisemitism, who said what, when, why. Surely there are other more important issues requiring the populace of the UK and the world. Move on.

@BBCNewsnight The fuss about Diane Abbott's comment that the #IDF is the 'Jew Defence Force' is SILLY! Aren't almost all the IDF Jews? British Jews, including Phil Rosenberg, should do MORE to condemn Israel and the #GazaGenocide! Condemning Israel is NOT antisemitic. #Newsnight

How many HOURS have @BBCNewsnight and other media outlets spent discussing if a tweet is or isn't antisemitic; compare this with time NOT spent condemning the cowardly, psychopathic Israeli govt killing innocent children. Shameful. #gazagenocide. #newsnight

Gary Lineker was not sacked for an antisemitic tweet. Why isn’t the host pulling him up on that lie? Appalling. #Newsnight

How can #BBC #Newsnight have a discussion about Diane Abbott having the Labour whip restored without once mentioning that she has been for years the most abused politician in the UK? Not as he often states Nigel Farage - which is rarely challenged.
