Amongst those arrested in London for peacefully protesting the genocide in Gaza is this blind person in a wheelchair.

Staggeringly embarrassing and shaming for Starmer.

“Shame on you!” being shouted by the crowd.

If I was going to volunteer at The Open I’d definitely want to be holding up a Quiet sign. And also take it home to use on public transport, in the office etc.

"Maybe it’s plausible that you could forget one Bloody Sunday, but forgetting both is downright outlandish"
'Forgetting that the British Army shot Irish civilians is sort of like forgetting that they were ever here at all. Like giving a speech about the ancient pharaohs and saying: “Well, at least they never built the pyramids.”'

This week's Surrealing on Bono, Crowe, Mullooly and the Corminator.
Surrealing in the Years: Wait a minute, the British Army did WHAT to Irish civilians?
Also this week: AI-generated statements on Gaza, and whatever Bono is going on about.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
