Important to remember this #socialistsunday that our media and political class are a bunch of sociopathic f**king ghouls who had the empathy beaten and bribed out of them in infancy

I have seen more genuinely engaged emotional outrage todat from the British media and political class over the banning of violent Israeli football fans, than in two years of tens of thousands of infants being horribly killed and mutilated in Gaza.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

The silence of the Westminster lobby as one of their own backs calls for me — an elected Member of Parliament — to be deported is telling.

No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites.

Our media class is rotten to the core.

Had an Icelandic couple lodge with us during Edinburgh Festival. They spotted the Columbo boxset and put it on out of curiosity. Ended up skipping the festival to finish the boxset before they left 😁

Down Here For Your Soul @bombsfall.bsky.social · 1d

Started watching Columbo. This may be the greatest show ever made. My prior Columbo experience outside of pop culture osmosis is Peter Falk in Wings Of Desire. Wenders told us the truth: he was an angel.

Yet again the myth that this some sort of “freebie” will run riot!
I pay £18000 over 3 years for a lease on a modest suv. That money comes from my PIP award which for the mobility element is £12,000 over the same period. The advance payment and adaptions of £6000 are paid by me not by the state.

Can we please get some perspective. If Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were banned because of a risk to them it would absolutely be anti-semitism. When they are banned because they have a track record of causing violence it is just common sense. Preventing football hooliganism is normally a good idea.

I don't do soccerball, but I seem to remember when the English had turned fan violence into a sport we were banned from Europe.
It's common sense.

In normal circumstances, supporters should be allowed to attend and provision taken to ban violent fans like The Ultras
But these aren't normal circumstances: these games are taking place in the context of 1000's of civilians killed in Gaza, the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and apartheid

Rachel Reeves, who cried in public when her MPs stopped her devastating the lives of 800,000 disabled people, is now attacking the Motability scheme for disabled people.
Conclusion: Rachel Reeves HATES disabled people, as does the Labour Cabinet.

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?
