OK hear me out. Celebrity Traitors but with the cast of Slow Horses, all in character.
Incredible diplomatic achievement by President Trump, who managed to normalise relations between 2 countries who never fought each other and in fact, have full diplomatic relations since the 1990's. Great Success!
The United States of America ladies and gents 👏 🦅
The year is 2080. AI is running what is left of humanity after the climate collapse and the spread of new viruses. Only half the planet is inhabitable. And Buckingham Palace just announced that Prince Andrew has just been stripped of another title "in light of new information"
Religious Jews used to talk about secular Jews as "captured babies": not heretics, just ignorant. Their inability to accept that some people have some religious knowledge and choose differently is staggering.
Are we really like that? Do others really see us like that?
As if we haven't suffered enough, watching "Nobody Wants this" as a Jew is extremely depressing. The non-Jewish characters are portrayed as individualistic, shallow, and lacking any meaning in their lives. The Jews are portrayed as overbearing, ethnocentric, and patronising.
The incredible thing about watching both #celebritytraitors and #slowhorses at the same time is that both might involve the wonderful Nick Mohammed getting murdered by traitors
You can call it Brewski only if it is from the region of Brewsk. Otherwise it is just a bubbly social media platform

Why? not because of crowd trouble. Who were we supposedly threatening, the 3 people in the UK who watch basketball? Not because we are racist or worst than other European away fans in the streets of London. Just becasue we are Israelis. UK media didn't care back then and it does not care now.
My team, Hapoel, which are anti-racist (and more importantly: anti Maccabi) came to play in the UK 2 years ago. It was against the London Lions in the Basketball Eurocup. A year before that, we took 1,500 away fans to London, but this time we could not as the match was played behind closed doors.
