How good it feels to move amongst people in a friendly and inclusive manner as opposed to dour and divisive.

Israeli police have cancelled the Tel Aviv derby tonight due to Maccabi thugs unrest.

Smoke grenades & stones were thrown, & several police officers & civilians were attacked.

These are the thugs Kid Starver, the entire British political & MSM have defended over their UK citizens & the police.

Israel breaks the ceasefire

Has Starmer condemned it or is he too busy trying to get tickets for the racist hooligans from Maccabi Tel Aviv?

Just listened to Chris Mason on Radio 4 defending BBC's excessive coverage of Farage & Reform. I was outraged by his response to legitimate criticism. I no longer trust the BBC's political coverage (actually I haven't for some time, but the BBC's behaviour has grown even worse of late).
