This is a ridiculously harsh sentence. Misguided from juror, not malicious.

If you’re STILL not denouncing crimes against Jews worldwide, you were never “just” anti-war. You were always antisemitic.

Lord. They are charging £17.85 for tickets to Blackheath fireworks. An event that has been free for the entirety of my life. Lewisham is finished. Families can't even enjoy the small local rituals without doing cost benefit analysis.

Pensioner with dementia living in a care home is convicted in our broken court system over a £43 car bill https://t.co/RD8Oy04dX9 I’ve been writing versions of this story for more than two years now. If politicians were interested in helping vulnerable people, they would act

When you're first diagnosed, it can be a scary time of uncertainty and searching the internet for answers. We don't want you to panic, that's why we've compiled a guide to diagnosis to help someone who is newly diagnosed. Read the guide here: https://t.co/pe4JLBSQIN

Stuff like this kills faith in institutions. Whatever the technicalities, fining someone for coffee down a drain is just ridiculous. Drains take all the detritus from roads, rubbish, dog pee etc. The Council should just drop it rather than digging deeper. https://t.co/odZXUz7wTd

Burcu Yesilyurt, who poured coffee down a drain in Richmond, welcomed the cancellation of the "disproportionate" fine.

Every student who was involved in this disruption of Professor Michael Ben-Gad's lecture should be expelled.

Today I had the enormous privilege of being awarded The Freedom of the City of London for my work combatting antisemitism. At a time when many British Jews are feeling insecure, it’s heartening to know such a long standing British Institution stands with us. A proud day 🇬🇧✡️☺️

This is horrific and also latest in long list of ways in which Jewish people are being targeted and made to feel unsafe.
Solidarity with Michael Ben-Gad, Professor of Economics at City University. Students are demanding his sacking simply because he is an Israeli Jew who has done (mandatory) military service. The antisemitic harassment he is being subjected to is horrifying. I hesitate to amplify

Watch the whole 5 minute video, it’s so shocking from the police and only gets worse.
🚨 WATCH: Police interview footage obtained by The Telegraph shows a detective accusing the Jewish man of openly wearing a Star of David that could cause “offence”. Click here ⬇️ https://t.co/KDuj6I69IG

Perhaps @metpoliceuk might publish a map of London showing those areas where someone can wear a Star of David necklace or a Kipa (skullcap) without facing arrest. And (in due course) a wall might be erected around those areas - for their own safety, you understand.
I can't believe what I've just watched. A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after the police alleged the symbol had "antagonised" pro-Palestine protesters. He was handcuffed and detained by police for almost TEN hours. DISGUSTING! Shame on you @metpoliceuk.

I've no doubt in my mind there will be Maccabi Tel Aviv fans who are complete and utter arseholes. Why would they be any different to any other team? But when talking about Amsterdam it's also useful to keep in mind that you can't really plan your "retaliation" in advance with

Once again, this category error. Antisemitism is not prompted by whatever faith Jews practice. Nazis didn't ask whether or not the people they were rounding up kept Kosher.
No one should have to live a life in fear because of the faith they practice. That is not the Britain we stand for. In addition to existing support, up to £10 million in new funding will protect synagogues, Jewish faith schools and community centres across the UK.

Madeleine, 75, was just 5 years old when she was diagnosed with #arthritis. Over the years, she's experienced many ups and downs but there has been one constant - the support of her husband, George. Read her story: https://t.co/b89UPe9u0S

One thing we’ve discovered in the last few years is that it’s easier to cancel Jews than challenge racism
Aston Villa can confirm the club has been informed that no away fans may attend the UEFA Europa League match with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
