Arsenal, three consecutive home games

When oh when are the British people
going to receive an apology
from Nigel Farage and the other UKIP liars!

In Memory of Jamal Khashoggi 🙏🕊️ 2018 #Khashoggi

Graph showing decline since 2005

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄

Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆

Khan's story is one of awesome bravery under the most appalling conditions. But it is also of huge significance. For it highlights the immense contribution and sacrifice so many Muslim soldiers made for the Allied effort in that terrible conflict. From the @dailymail 2016.

Warrant in Turkish

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on charges of genocide.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

The BBC used to pretend to guard the moral high ground. Now they promote the Onanites of Reform on all their platforms..

The European Convention on Human Rights

Happy Birthday to the European Convention on Human Rights, which has helped to protect #OurRightsAndFreedoms for 75 years.

Here are more than 200 examples, from across the continent👇

There are thousands more.

This is crucial. The media dramatises events. There is so little analysis of the very real, usually male, domestic violence and coercion which is left out as it's too difficult to blame some minority for DV

After two years of a genocidal campaign, the first and only officers arrested in Israel were the military prosecutors investigating war crimes.

King Harold exiled his brother.
William I imprisoned his brother
William II crushed his brother in battle
Henry I imprisoned his brother for life. In Cardiff.
Henry, Richard I, Geoffrey & John, well, did everything short of actually kill each other.
Edward IV executed his brother.

That’s the game

Matthew Hopkins - Nigel Farage.

Which game? I'm an #avfc season ticket holder living in S6! Very happy to show solidarity with #swfc..

Farage: epic grifter

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I get that, but also it gives the current squad some confidence as well that investment doesn't mean them leaving....

Germany receives the most asylum seekers in Europe, with over 1/3 of all applications in 2023 & a 1/4 in 2024.The next highest are Spain, France, & Italy, which together with Germany receive the majority of applications.The UK has fifth largest applications but intake is 17th per head of population.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social I admire your views on this. I was born off the Wellington Road and HGS. My parents lived there for more than 50 years. We walked to Villa Park, saw two riots. My Muslim neighbours came to my Dad's funeral. The willingness to burn it down on lies and ignorance is evil.

I understand your point and recognised that and used the word type.

I have always been fascinated by the composition of the Navy. The Tudor Rose is a fine collection of nationalities. It's a bit like Reform admire the Lord Hawhaw type, not the defenders of our Isle.

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

Farage’s Trillion Pound Black Hole: The Real Cost of Reform UK’s Mass Deportation Plan Exclusive: Reform's plan, which it claims would net huge savings over the coming decades, would actually cost the UK about £70-90bn over the next ten years alone, new analysis of official statistics a...

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades.

New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

How ditching EHCPs could mean SEND is better funded The approach and the incentives that flow from it are ruinous. Here's what we should do instead

Dangerous and wrong: How ditching EHCPs could mean SEND is better funded- schoolsweek.co.uk/ditching-e...

The use and acceptance of ppt is not the start of the SEN failure in mainstream. If we had GPs in charge of A&E we'd be in trouble. Put the specialist staff in Special and AP in senior position s(& use parents). Money helps, targets are an issue. Culture change is absolute.
