I have emailed my support to the Attorney General. As a Jew who lost German Jewish family and who also suffered antisemitic bullying.
Deets included below in case you wish to support his actions too. I see Nadine Dorries is already name calling him.

What the frack has happened to @theguardian.com ?
wall to wall Labour bashing.
And Marina Hyde is now just another puerile unfunny shill.
They did a great hatchet job on Farage, but around it, they are turning into the Daily Mail with longer words.
Pivoting to the I!

You can tell a lot about a man by the way they speak to women.
TWO little words ~ and out of their own mouths they tell us ExACtLY who and what they are!
Trump: Quiet, piggy

Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

Shame @theguardian.com is now positioning itself in the same playground as the Heil, Telegraph and Express.
What happened to Marina Hyde? Used to be a reasonably open minded commentater.
Only @bylinetimes.bsky.social and @theneweuropean.bsky.social now have a centrist/ leftist slant.
