I guess today's not going to be the day either?
37 days and counting since Interim Co-Chief Executive Officer of @thameswater Cathryn Ross told @HinaBokhariLD of the @LondonAssembly that she would take a dip in treated sewage and hasn't.

The word jihad has a number of meanings but we know the public will most commonly associate it with terrorism. We have specialist counter terrorism officers here in the operations room who have particular knowledge in this area.
They have assessed this video, filmed at the Hizb ut-Tahrir protest in central London today, and have not identified any offences arising from the specific clip.
However, recognising the way language like this will be interpreted by the public and the divisive impact it will have, officers have identified the man involved and will be speaking to him shorty to discourage any repeat of similar chanting.

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible.
2020: Silence is violence.
2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding.
————————
2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities.
2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter.
————————
2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression.
2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship.
————————
2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing.
2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.”
————————
2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture.
————————
2020: Believe all women.
2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”?
————————
2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist.
2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters.
————————
2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence.
2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate.
————————
2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned.
2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.

@clairemcilvenna @juststopoil You warned everyone about droughts 10 years ago 🤷🏻.
I'll warn you now, people will die, generally before they hit 100.
Can't say you weren't warned

Flooding by my daughters house in Nottingham.
This is what #climatecatastrophe looks like.
You were warned 30 years ago.
Bravo to @ExtinctionRebelliinUK and @JustStopOil for heroic climate action thus far 👏👏👏

@MrJackLowe A structure exposed to the elements since 1895 and you're not expecting it, at some point, to succumb to 120+ years of wind, wave and storm battering?
You'll be expecting to live forever too then will you?

@metpoliceuk @RonEng1ish @PSCupdates Reminded?
Based on this, not sure if there's a terrorist incident that this one would be assisting people escape. But you reminded them so all is good
English

@RonEng1ish @PSCupdates This video was filmed in May 2021. It is not from a recent demonstration.
Officers know they are not to actively participate in demonstrations or adopt political positions.
The officer in the video was reminded of this.
English

There will be a demonstration in central London tomorrow, organised by @PSCUpdates.
The update below gives details of the policing operation, the law on support for proscribed organisations, flags and chanting.
It also includes the conditions which have been imposed.

@____Foxtrot____ As a cyclist, i'd have stopped. You can see it coming a mile off. Why not prevent the accident.

@boatgirl3 @AvonandsomerRob Not "why is he driving a tractor whilst completely impeding his own vision"
What was behind the car? Another? You don't know but it's the car driver at fault?
English

@AvonandsomerRob why'd he stop in the middle of the road, directly in his path?

Meal out and the wife has just asked for "the 'mankini' curry please."

@FabrizioRomano He's running Massimo Taibi close for "shittest keeper at United ever"

@____Foxtrot____ *after a member of the public called in they were real handguns*
So, police go in as prescribed armed situation but it's a false alarm unfortunately.
If it wasn't a false alarm and police say "it'll be kids playing with toy guns" then there are fatalities, police get hammered!

@EvanDLPrice @DXW_KC Blimey.
They are many and well known. Many have been used before. The Israeli apparent change of direction was described as a surprise and they appear to have stepped back from it, at least momentarily.
