@AaronBastani I suspect you’re right that some of their voters don’t want to go American, but they’re still not crying out for national unity. This will be to fire up the hardcore and game the attention space.

@leninology I don’t think it does with all of their voters. I may be wrong! A decent chunk want lower immigration and to lash out against big two. Not become America.

@AaronBastani Why? They don’t need the majority. They need 32% of the electorate which they mobilise against the deviant metropolitan liberals and migrant strongholds. The whole pitch is we’re going to bring civil war to the lefties, and it works.

@leninology They need to at least pretend they want a social majority, and are indeed the majority!

Rowley is lying and he knows it. This is a resigning offence. He is whipping up fear and hatred by suggesting that marches deliberately march near synagogues. Its untrue. No march has directly passed a synagogue. He must retract and apologise or resign. middleeasteye.net/news/met-polic…

@leninology feels like a bizarrely pointless apology. "I don't retract anything substantive, but I apologise for tweeting something instead of raising it directly with the police commissioner in a meeting"??? just looks like an apology for the sake of an apology. weird!

@micky26720 No I didn’t urge that, and in fact I expressed worry about how far they were giving way, and in the end realised the whole tactic was doomed — but you’re not wrong in the basic point that I was part of an acquiescence, an attempt to reason with the hysteria, that utterly failed.

@leninology Weren't you one of the people who urged Corbyn to constantly give way on the antisemitism smear campaign?

This will not stand up legally. Zack retweeted — did not issue a statement — a questioning of the seemingly excessive use of force. The head of the Met, during purdah, wrote a two page attack as if Zack had said it. It is clear involvement in politics.
Beth Rigby@BethRigby

Mark Rowley on @SkyNews re his open letter to @ZackPolanski. “I'm not getting involved in politics. I'm dealing with operations. I need my officers to have confidence to tackle the most difficult and dangerous individuals. Of course, there's always going to be sort of, sort of eccentricity and nonsense online. “But if an eminent person steps into operational policing and, sort of criticises officers in a way that can undermine their confidence to act, I need to support that…. He has stepped into operational policing with his criticism & inaccuracies & I need to put that straight”

Proper policing should keep Britain’s Jews safe. What won’t? - Shutting down marches against UK govt support for Israeli crimes. - Terror arrests of 2,700 peaceful protestors. If anything, they make the problem worse by conflating Jews and Israel.

The suspect in the Golders Green stabbing also attacked someone in south-east London earlier that day, at around 8:50am. Police were called to an address and were told he was armed with a knife. An occupant received minor injuries after an altercation.

Today we heard the closing defence speeches of the Filton 6 trial, with all defendants except Sam Corner choosing to dismiss their lawyers and represent themselves. Corner, who in addition to criminal damage faces a charge of grievous bodily harm with intent, remained represented in court. The jury first heard a powerful closing speech from Charlotte Head, who told them: “It’s entirely possible you may be one of the last juries to get to make decisions in a case like this before even that right is taken away from ordinary people.” Full statements from Charlotte Head, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zeinab Rajwani are now up on Real Media, with more to follow. realmedia.press/filton-6-closi…

Far as I can tell, these freaks are paid unfathomable amounts of money solely to do media spots where they call for making the lives of poor, sick, and disabled people even harder.

The Tony Blair Institute is calling for an “emergency handbrake” on welfare to stop the flow of new claimants. TBI’s executive director @ryan_wain says people with mental health conditions should be in work over being given benefits because it’s more beneficial. @StigAbell
