If the current situation doesn’t make the maximum possible sanctions - including exclusion from SWIFT - necessary and urgent, it’s hard to imagine what would. This is not a time for half measures.

Patrick Wintour@patrickwintour
Olaf Scholz German chancellor said yesterday he opposed Russia being excluded from SWIFT because “it’s very important that we decide on measures that have been prepared in recent weeks and reserve everything else for a situation where it is necessary to do other things as well”.

@RealMattLucas It has done the very opposite to holding to account.
English
The BBC has many strengths and many weaknesses, but I suspect this government wants to get rid of it because it holds them to account.

@guardian What, no mention by you of Desmond Tutu's unflagging support for Palestine and the apartheid state if Israel, which he likened to apartheid South Africa?

If I had been instrumental in taking Britain into an illegal war that killed more than a million people, I'd keep my mouth shut @campbellclaret.

It’s interesting that some of the people demanding we now protect women’s rights are the same people who fail to acknowledge that those rights were won by the military intervention against the Taliban 20 years ago.

If this was your son
you would fill the sea with ships of any flag.
But don't worry.
He is not your son.
You can sleep peacefully.
And above all of course,
He is not your son.
He is just a lost son of humanity,
Dirty mankind, that makes no noise.
He's not your son

This is very much worth reading. Daniel Hale did a brave and important thing for the United States, and what is being done to him in response is a national disgrace. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

@daveatherton But you stay nothing about kosher?? Exactly the same process Dave!
English
How is this for unbridled hypocrisy?
Understandably boiling lobsters alive will be made illegal but slitting the throats of sheep & cattle without being stunned Halal style will carry on with gay abandon.

@calvinrobinson You didn't mention kosher but mention halal?? I wonder why 🤔 The animal is slaughtered in exactly the same way.
English
First they banned foie gras, now traditionally cooked lobster.
Will they make a move on Halal butchery though?
I highly doubt it…
Easy targets only. 🙄

@NimkoAli @MeeraSyal South Asian people quoting the lines 'dedicated her life' or taking an honour from these people. If you can credit them with service then you should also acknowledge that the Royals represented the brutality that killed millions in our homeland during the rule of the Britush Raj.

Whatever your views on the monarchy remember that a woman who has given her life to this Country has lost her husband. So if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.

@KathyBurke He sanctioned the use of more killer drones than all US Presidents put together. He is responsible for millions of deaths but sadly, these dead brown people mean nothing to the Western media.
