Anything?!!!

A screenshot of a post using the famous Homer Simpson meme. There are 4 blocks of cartoon. Each one shows Homer Simpson slowly back up into a bush until the last column which shows just his eyes and part of his stomach. Above the meme is the text:
“Israeli police cancel Maccabi match after fan violence.
Kier Starmer, Kemi Badenoch, Robert Rinder, MSM…”

Peston et al yet again proving that they’ll take the narrative so that the status quo isn’t shook to its fucking core

Peston is aghast that @zackpolanski.bsky.social backs a sporting boycott of Israel, saying, its a democracy!

Israel has been engaged in a brutal occupation & apartheid for decades & denies millions under its control their basic civil rights. Was apartheid South Africa a democracy too?

The problem is, if the BBC did report on this, then it would be a truth they do not want to acknowledge. Most likely, they’d twist it about how well Reform are doing and that Farage will be the next PM anyway

They gained more than 6000 members in a single day. There are now more Green members than members of the Conservative Party and their membership is more than double the reported membership of the LibDems.

Will the BBC face up to the Green Party's membership surge?

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings.
In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.
