Sorry your family had to deal with mean tweets but we both saw the remains of kids bodies being carried around in plastic bags and your response was "more of this please" so maybe I don't actually care about the mean tweets right now

'There might be enough blame to condemn us all, but rightfully it sits on the shoulders of just a few. This is not the world’s famine, but a famine of the West.' thenational.scot/politics/25415…

Labour talking heads were spitting the word “terrorist” on repeat, when the news broke of the killing of Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, along with fellow correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed Noufal. thenational.scot/politics/25382…

It’s tragic to see the complete absence of solidarity from BBC news & current affairs to their Al Jazeera colleagues who have spent the last 2 years covering the genocide in Gaza while they have been barely able to acknowledge or even pronounce the word .

David Lammy: "We must also praise the courage of ordinary Russians taking to the streets of Moscow, in St. Petersburg and beyond, under the threat of repression, to show their opposition to this despot"

You chose to promote a proudly transphobic author for an LGBTQ+ prize. You're not the victim, Paul.

Why can't the billionaires and those exploited by them not just all hold hands and come together? This is the sensible grown up position. 🤦‍♀️

The press coverage of Ukip’s anti-migrant march mostly missed that the assembled fascists had been blocked from marching on their approved route, and that they were driven eastward and away from the city centre because anti-fascists took action. thenational.scot/politics/25347…

You're right David, The world IS watching. It has seen how you supported and continue to support a genocide, despite these far-too-late statements. And I doubt it will forget either.
