@DXW_KC This clap has finally convinced me to support the Conservatives. Much of the party is (at best) pointless, but KB is excellent.

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

@expertinclusion I think it’s lower in the UK. I still don’t see arguments against what I’m saying given imminent shortage of jet fuel? We’d have to do other things too, sure.

I really don’t see why arguing against private jets, as Zack Polanski has done, is particularly contentious - or even coded as ‘radical’. There are going to be shortages and it’s important to be fair in how that pans out. Fly business class! Hardly hell is it?

@JamesHeartfield @lazebnic Intifada is an Arabic word meaning "shaking off," "rebellion," or "uprising," typically referring to a popular, often grassroots, resistance against oppression. It signifies a popular, collective action or "shaking off" a greater power.

From the Mastermind archives: "What name for the Palestinian uprising that began in 1987 against Israeli rule in the Gaza Strip and West Bank literally means a ‘shaking off’ in Arabic?" The correct answer was given: intifada. A lesson for most journalists & politicians today…

Whilst everyone was focusing on the manosphere and watching Adolescence, nobody has considered the radicalisation of young women, which appears numerically to be a far greater problem.

@Ellaj26927542 Reform are fairly nuts, too. Nowhere near as bad as the Greens but fairly unhinged.

@DraperOr I don’t think there’s a decent answer. I’d vote Lowe but it’s a wasted vote so is Kemi imo. I’ll vote whoever gets rid of Labour/Lib Dems and keeps the crazy loon Greens out which basically means Reform.

@kirkrussell4 Yes, of course they are, because they believe in a single state where Jews and Arabs live side by side in equality.

There are always Jewish people on pro-Palestine peace marches. The rest of the marchers have a huge amount of love and respect for them, because we all share a desire for peace and justice for the Palestinian people. That’s ALL this is about.

Majority of people that go to the gym do “Progressive Overload” style of training & it’s hilarious. All they want is to lift more weight, do more reps, more, more, more!!! They think because they can lift more, they’re getting stronger… this ain’t the case. What they’re doing is cheating. Cheating the Range of Motion, cheating the effectiveness, cheating the exercise. Doing whatever they can to rush progress, even if it means terrible form & injury. People have such little patience nowadays that they think they can just bypass all of the base Foundational stuff… Grave mistake. This mistake is reflected in their body & it’s a shame.

My take on Trap Bar Deadlift It’s a squat Therefore, Trap Bar Deadlift is not a substitute for a barbell deadlift And you cannot compare the 2 in any way 2 completely different movements, 2 completely different outcomes 🤝

@StrengthDebates @NakatomiHarry I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do a trap bar deadlift with an upright torso. That would be pretty uncomfortable and would require good / excellent mobility.

"I think we need to bring people together." Wow. Great insight, Zak. No one's ever thought of that before. You're almost as inspirational as Jeremy "let's build bridges not walls" Corbyn.

@Ellaj26927542 He’s probably not at maintenance. He’s gained a lot of lean mass recently (nudge nudge). Maintenance would likely be well below 4,000.

@StrengthDebates @NakatomiHarry You missed the bit where I said “how most people do trap bar deadlifts”. Greg points this out quite carefully in his article.

lol it’s not a fact I can’t take you seriously anymore I can show someone to do a TBDL with a stacked torso, which is most common, or I can teach them to use a hinge It’s an opinion, people are able to freely use the trap bar how they prefer. Most of the time, people are using it with a stacked torso. Aka the op
