Excellent article by @matthewsyed exposing the underlying antisemitism on these Hamas demos.
The Palestine Action protesters have been characterised as warm, decent, cuddly. I went to talk to them and the mask slipped. Just a question or two about what they really think exposed the increasingly potent and assertive antisemitism in the UK https://t.co/Xti8mZjc7t

Spot on
This is concern-trolling an entire community - I am sickened by this guy's inability to honestly address reality - will you or won't you call for "anti-zionists" to stay off the streets tomorrow?

Great headline
Grimsby Town reached the fourth round of the League Cup for the first time in 24 years last night. Having dumped out Manchester United, Dave Artell’s League Two Mariners beat #SWFC in front of 6,000 #GTFC fans. The romance of an unexpected cup run remains magical. @MirrorSport
