Looking forward to speaking at this event in Leipzig on Sunday
Last Sunday I spoke at a conference in Birmingham and managed a brief side trip to this place of pilgrimage. Consider this a teaser for something exciting I can't talk about publicly yet....

Watching Live Aid highlights on BBC and was about to post about how cool Sade was...Until I saw her bassist's high bass holding position. It's almost round his fucking neck! Shame on him. Shame on Sade enabling him. Shame on Bob Geldof. Shame on us all.

This weekend has reminded me how my book sets its face against the exhausting zeitgeist that too many of us Jews are addicted to: On Saturday Eurovision became all about us once again. On Sunday a sensible, money-saving bureaucratic procedure in British Jewry was oversold as an epoch-making event.

Do you remember Gripper Stebson's sidekick? Vance couldn't even bully Roland Browning without Trump's authorisation.

[From the other place, link in reply] A reminder - if any were needed - that antisemitism is usually not a precisely-honed weapon targeted at the exact Jews one objects to. And another reminder that antisemitism should be of concern to all Jews, not just those who are most 'visibly' Jewish.
