The Welsh and Scots have the critical thinking and intellect to see through Farage’s party for billionaires, ex-failed Tories, crypto bros, racists and grifters. The English however - fuckkkkkk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You know, I'm starting to think Keir Starmer should have attacked Nigel Farage, rather than attacked Zack Polanski. Why didn't he. @UKLabour

In 2016, Zack Polanski hosted and spoke at fundraisers for the Red Cross. In 2017, Nigel Farage gave speeches for the AFD, who the German authorities have designated an extremist organisation, and which uses Nazi slogans. Which do you think UK Press is attacking right now?

@lawks1 👏👏👏

It turns out that giving a political party their own TV channel, downplaying their foreign influence, tax dodging & racism while relentlessly, hysterically, calling for the PM's resignation has an influence on voters. Who could have guessed? Well done #BBCNews, #SkyNews, #ITN

MEMO to all UK politicians & journalists: Criticising the actions of Israel is NOT antisemitic Israel & its supporters will pretend it is, all day, every day YOUR job, YOUR duty is to make clear that whatever others claim: Criticising the actions of Israel is NOT antisemitic

IN PRAISE OF FRANCESCA ALBANESE There is a question that visits me in the small hours, when sleep will not come and the mind turns over old stones. The question is this: “What would I have done in the 1930s, on the morning after Kristallnacht?" Not what I say I would have done. Not what I hope I would have done. But what would I actually have done—when the trains began to run, when the neighbours grew quiet, when the cost of decency became the loss of everything? Most of us, I think, would have done little. Not from malice. From fear. From the soft, creeping conviction that someone else will speak, that the situation is complex, that we must be 'reasonable'. Lest we forget, the ordinary is the extraordinary's alibi. And how we have clung to that alibi! How we still cling to it! And then, every once in a terrible while, someone appears who does not cling. Someone who steps forward when others step back. Someone who speaks the name of the thing when everyone else is busy naming something else. Francesca Albanese is that someone. She stands before the world—alone, unarmed, armed only with law and language and a rare courage—and she says what the centrists will not say, what the foreign ministries will not say, what the editorial boards will not say. She says: "This is a genocide. And we are watching it happen." Do not tell me that is hyperbole. Do not tell me the term is contested. She has not used it lightly. She has used it as a physician arrives scientifically at a diagnosis—not to wound, but to warn. Not to inflame, but to name. And for that, they have come for her. Oh, how they have come for her. Smears. Investigations. Vicious editorials. Frozen bank accounts. Dispossession of the only apartment she had ever owned. The machinery of the respectable turned to crush her. Because the respectable cannot abide what she represents: a mirror held up to their complicity. Let us, once again, travel back to the 1930s. Back to the few who stood up when the trains began to run laden with Jewish people. There was Aristides de Sousa Mendes, a Portuguese consul in Bordeaux. He defied his own government. He signed thousands of visas, by hand, for hours, until his fingers bled. He saved more lives than Schindler. And he died penniless, disgraced, erased. There was a German officer in Warsaw named Wilm Hosenfeld. He hid a Jewish pianist in the rubble. He did not save thousands. He saved one. But that one—Władysław Szpilman—carried the memory. And memory is "the only haven from which we cannot be expelled." There was Raoul Wallenberg. There were the villagers of Le Chambon. There were the anonymous, the quiet, the furious few who said: “Not on my watch.” Francesca Albanese is their heir. Not because she carries a gun. Not because she hides refugees in her basement. But because she does something equally dangerous in a world that has perfected the art of not seeing. She sees. And she speaks. She does not speak as a diplomat. Thank Goodness she doesn't! Diplomats have given us the language of "there are arguments on both sides" and "restraint" and "proportionality." Diplomatic language is the perfumed grave of moral clarity. No, she speaks as a jurist. As a human being. As a woman who has looked into the abyss and refused to call it a "complex geopolitical landscape". Edna O'Brien once described a character who "had the recklessness of those who have already lost everything worth losing." Francesca Albanese has not lost everything. She has her dignity, her office, her voice, her family. But she has calculated the cost of speaking truth to power. And she has decided that that cost is infinitely less than the cost of silence. What is that cost? Let us name it. She has been called antisemitic—she, who stands on the ground of international law forged in the ashes of Auschwitz and the fires of Nuremberg. She has been called a conspiracy theorist—she, who cites every source, every footnote, every UN resolution. She has been called naive—she, who understands better than most the machinery of realpolitik. These accusations are not arguments. They are the spittle of the threatened. Because Francesca Albanese threatens something very precious to the powerful: the right to commit atrocity without being named. Friends, the 1930s did not arrive with jackboots and pogroms on day one. They arrived in small increments. With "reasonable" restrictions. With "proportional" measures. With the silence of the respectable. We tell ourselves that we would have been different. That we would have been Sousa Mendes. That we would have been Wallenberg. But most of us, I fear, would have been the neighbours who later said, "I didn't know." Francesca Albanese knows. And she refuses to pretend otherwise. So let us praise her. Not with statues or awards she does not seek. But with something harder: with our own refusal to look away. With our own voices, raised in places that are safe for us but dangerous for her. With our own bodies, if it comes to that. A brave woman, who was injured while demonstrating outside a US nuclear military base in 1982, the infamous Greenham Common, had told me that "the heart is a hunter for what it cannot have." But I say the heart is a hunter for what it will not lose. And what we will not lose is the memory of those who stood up when standing up cost everything. Francesca Albanese is standing up now. In our time. In our name. Under our indifferent sky. Let us stand with her. Not tomorrow. Not when it is safe. Now. [Extract from a speech in Athens on Sunday 3rd May 2026]

Israel is occupying more of Lebanon than Russia is occupying of Ukraine. Israel is destroying every single building, ethnically cleansing the whole place so they can steal it for themselves. Not only is Europe silent on this, it is still sending weapons to make it happen.

This can’t be real, can it? Because I was told Israel is only in Lebanon because of Hizbollah and this dude is from… 8 years before Hizbollah existed… Time travel?

If you're one of them special type of morons who've been spouting shit about Arteta I hope you feel like right cunts this morning

So just to clarify the rules for when your team reaches the CL final: Don’t celebrate Don’t enjoy the moment Don’t sing Don’t smile Leave the stadium immediately in silence and definitely don’t acknowledge the achievement of reaching the CL final.

Arsenal parade happening here on the Sunday after final. For all fans not able to fly back for 11am parade. 🙏👍

@highburyhigh @afcDW Annoying as booked flights ages ago in case and didn’t want to leave at the crack of dawn

@afcDW Disgusting money making scam, fleece the fans to fly Sunday back, then probably miss it anyway. Who decides this? We are playing away last game in PL, hopefully the party that day will be the one! ☝️

So... a parade that won't involve any fan who attends the Champions League final?

Can we all agree this was Mohamed Salah’s greatest tweet ever?

BREAKING: 🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet… It reads: “Iran is 12 days away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

Dobré ránko z absolutně nejlepší atmosféry, co jsem kdy na fotbale zažil. Až z toho praská zvuk, jak to ten telefon nepobíral. 😭❤️‍🩹

How the fuck is that not a pen

@ThaEuropeanLad @sarahhayden94 I will…..in 3 games time….🤞

Don't speak just repost......
