Brilliant post from

. So very true but also crucial. If people give in to fatalistic despair then actually we give up trying to shape history; we give up on our own agency. What's more, to misquote some lyrics "They knock us down. We get up again". And again & again...

Shocking story of Academy Trust school in NE closed cos of weather but now perpetually not re-opened. Despicable treatment of parents/pupils. Seems Lockdown mentality - that it's OK to send kids home & not educate -a new normal. One for you

Great point. Even made (Sir) Chris Bryant wobble on Drakeford's bonkers 20mph limit imposed on Wales. Opposition in audience telling. Hope Labour, so often keen on 'lived expereince', is listening.

Me, briefly on
https://nitter.cz/TalkTV
on roots of today's antisemitism & defending right to protest (a fundamental freedom), yes, even of hate-filled bigots. Our liberties are precious & shouldn't be abandoned cos police are too timid to arrest open law-breakers on demos

Infuriatingly tone deaf in Westminster Bubble echo-chamber. Even those who disagree w Braverman have too many real horrors to worry about: Israel/Gaza conflict or hostages in hands of Hamas barbarians or toxic tensions on streets of London or rise of AS - NOT who OKed an article!

In Lords, I opposed giving police more draconian powers to attack right to protest. I argued REAL problem=a crisis of policing/ authority, a moral vacuum politicians try to fill by creating even more laws. I lost the argument but maybe I had a point. Tooled up cops still impotent

And Met police wonder why members of public think they are over-zealous criminalising some hate crimes while blatant examples of eg anti semitic hate or gender ideology inspired anti-women hate, are ignored and given seeming impunity. Grrrr.

Why leaseholders worry King's Speech doesn't go far enough: Anna Scoffin pays eye-watering £33,000 a yr service charge for her flat: “There’s no cap on it” she told i. “Will it rise to £40,000, £50,000? Will they expect me to eventually pay £100,000?"

A failure of police to police elements on Gaza demos that have caused disorder has led to this reaction. And guess what, Met blames and promises crack down on those reacting. Divisive & irresponsible

Many suggest they can't isolate Oct 7th from context. There are a range of contexts. Please read this thread. All of it. No hint of revenge despite horrors. But clear that Hamas knew what they were doing & what consequences would be for people of Gaza. And they didn't give a damn

Everything about this philistine, entitled, anti-democratic perfomance insults the Suffragettes. The nerve of those who want to stop progess assuming they stand in the traditon of the fight for women's votes.

This is NOT the way to defeat Anti Semitism. Remember
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23JeSuisCharlie
? Mass support for a defiant cry of freedom & fierce defence of Western values = much more effective lethal weapons against Islamists & their Identitarian apologists than succumbing to state censorship of opinion

Public discssion on new Anti-Semitism feels urgent/necessary. Too many shrug at idea that reactions to Israel-Gaza spilling onto streets of UK deserve that label; others close ears to calls to jihad on protests as though just any old slogan. Proud
