And al-bunduq in turn comes from Greek ‘Pontikón káruon’ - ‘Pontic nut’. Because walnuts grew in the Pontic region of what is now northern Turkey, apparently.

Our banner yesterday was in solidarity with Southwark Council’s estate cleaners. Their union, Unison, is campaigning against a proposed £250k budget cut which will severely impact the overtime many cleaners rely on to make ends meet. You can support the cleaners’ campaign here: bit.ly/CleaningCuts

Xenophanes was clearly an unbearable nerd
Benarroch, who is Jewish and was two years below Farage at school, said he did not get personally targeted by him but that he recalled the abuse allegedly meted out to Ettedgui. “He was such a gentle soul and Farage – Farage made his life a fucking nightmare,” he said. “They could only identify us, because we had to go to this stupid Jewish service in the science labs school. I mean, none of us were remotely religious. They would hang out there. Farage would hang out with his minions. And then they would taunt us as we would leave.” Of Farage’s claim that those who had spoken out were not telling the truth, he believes “this is the oldest of the antisemitic tropes”. He said he considered this was akin to claiming there is a “worldwide Jewish global conspiracy, and in order to have a conspiracy, you have to lie. That is what Reform are accusing us of. It couldn’t get more personal.”
Stefan Benarroch, two years below Farage at school, has told the Guardian that Ettedgui "was such a gentle soul and Farage – Farage made his life a fucking nightmare." He has also alleged Farage would hang outside where a Jewish service was held to identify and taunt other Jewish boys.
Dulwich Hamlet fans travelled to Hyde Park on Saturday to oppose the far-right ‘mass deportations’ march.
UKIP’s ‘Mass Deportations’ rally has been banned from Whitechapel, but it will still be going ahead in central London. Dulwich Hamlet fans are mobilising to oppose fascism and hate.
I can spot at least two potential issues with this title
In the same way that the evolutionary process keeps arriving at the concept of a crab, any improvised attempt at making dinner with what I have in the fridge invariably becomes some kind of curry.
Being pro-Palestinian is not being anti-Jewish.
Just as being pro-Jewish is not being anti-Palestinian.
Irresponsible language and framing from the Home Secretary.
It is perfectly right that people both protest the Gaza genocide and mourn the Manchester attack.
A banner reading "One Billy Vigar. Safe grounds now."
Hamlet fans had a banner yesterday with a simple message.
The tragic death of Billy Vigar was completely avoidable. It's time for the FA to do their job and ensure all non-league grounds are safe, before someone else is harmed.
This cannot be allowed to happen again.

@barneyronay.bsky.social Hi Barney. This is the 2nd time in 2 years that a non-league player has received a life-changing injury from a head collision with a perimeter wall, because the FA can't be bothered to update ground regs. Fancy taking up the story?

We know big numbers of Hamlet fans will be heading to Cheshunt this weekend. We’d like to encourage travelling Rabblers to donate what they can to the food bank collection at the game. No one should be going hungry in a modern society #solidarity

Well fucking actually do it then

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.
Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.
A handful of Curva Carwash regulars had the pleasure of visiting Red Star FC earlier this year, and it was brilliant.
So obviously we're dead chuffed to see this article digging into the oft-forgotten links between Dulwich Hamlet and Red Star open.substack.com/pub/georgebo... #dhfc
We keep on moving 👊
I have been chuckling all morning about the absolutely deranged behaviour of Wingate & Finchley’s *chairman* last night.
Legally, there isn't the slightest basis to the complaint, even on the most extreme possible interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement. A shop floor is not a single sex space, regardless of whether they sell bras or not. This is just hatred and spite, unleashed.

For @forward.com, I wrote about how we know that Israel has been withholding food as a military tactic because Israeli officials have said versions of “we are withholding food as a military tactic” for the entirety of the war and pretending otherwise is willful ignorance forward.com/opinion/7586...
Sooner or later something terrible is going to happen at one of these hotels and the politicians and media outlets who have spent the past year whipping it all up will have to carry the blame
