If it is Zack, then they're not making a very good job of it, are they? (And, let's face it, the Jews know a thing or two about genocide)
Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide. The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide. Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide. How are we still doing this? And why is the BBC doing this? https://t.co/dLsxz2Nbqj

Why would anyone ask us to give money to a good‐looking man who's well-dressed and confidently placed above us? The ad agency clearly doesn't believe it either...The call to action is in tiny print the end. The ad and media people are the winners. As usual.

The Greens want even higher taxes and now rent controls - the sort of economic illiteracy with huge appeal to younger voters. Expect a c.20% increase in minimum wage proposal to pop-up soon...
Zack Polanski calls for rent controls, "If we froze rents in Autumn 2022 households would save £3,300 per year" "That's £18 billion of purchasing power back into pockets of people" "Money that could be spent on local businesses, buying a coffee on the way to work, or a few

The UK shift from Directors to US-style Chiefs was a poor choice. The organisation is moving, directors lead where it's going. It's a title with both legal and practical responsibility. 'Chief' is static, tribal and self-important.
Elon Musk just reduced the entire C-suite to a punchline. The traditional enterprise runs on the illusion that inventing new acronyms creates value. Musk: “So CEO is a made-up title, CFO is a made-up title, general counsel made-up title. They don’t mean anything.” Strip away

People who don’t finish the Marathon can identify as people who do finish the Marathon.
NEW: Runners in the Los Angeles Marathon will be able to stop at mile 18 and still receive a finisher medal this weekend. Organizers say it’s an option for participants who are having a tough race day.

A very strong case for getting a new Dad:
My daughter got a job offer from Tesla "Papa, it's $250k a year and I'll work on autonomous driving!" I sighed "You have only a bachelor's degree. You are not qualified to work on anything" She started showing me the offer letter I closed the laptop "You will do your

On the news, hearing from someone involved is more emotional than having the news reader reporting. It's an absolute giveaway of taking a political position when @bbcnews chooses to do this. Today it was more extreme. They paid actors to voiceover unverified Iran regime sources.

While Green Party Zak Polanski muck-spreads his infantile insults, Javier Milei reminds us of the power of the perfectly-placed political barb:
All-time line by Javier Milei… "The leftists can't applaud me because their hands are stuck in other people's pockets." https://t.co/NGrbhinsWl

Unsurprisingly, there's no evidence for his 'safe spaces win' assertion; it's just something he 'believes'. But we are talking about a man who during Covid, offered opinions as if he were an expert virologist
Emmanuel Macron says Europe can build a competitive AI industry while protecting citizens’ data, describing the EU as a space for innovation and investment and arguing that “safe spaces win in the long run.”

So what were the governmental interventions regulating trading between stone age tribes..?
It baffles me that so many economists think of free markets as a law of nature — and that intervention in them can be justified only on the grounds of “market failures.” The free market itself is an intervention: a political construct shaped by specific rules.

Politicians and city officials keep blaming the violence at Free Palestine protests on crowd size, excusing vandalized Jewish businesses, hateful slogans, and blatant antisemitism as an inevitable byproduct of large demonstrations. But this weekend, 350,000 Iranians gathered in

But they're not "immigrants" are they Stella? They're people from different countries with high skills and high earning capacity that, consequently, have special leave to stay. Next season they may be playing in the likes of Saudi, China or USA, excepted for the very same reason
Without immigrants Man U’s starting line up last night would have been three players and the bench would have consisted of just two. Ratcliffe doesn't seem to understand the contribution they make to his own team, let alone this country - but then as he is an immigrant himself

The idea that Western liberal democracies, working alone, can tax the weather better will go down in history as one of the most delusional group-think ideas of all time

A few years back I had to get the council out to sort a large piece of graf that said "Jewish Lies Matter". Scrape the surface of the hard left and anti-semitism is rampant. It's all part of their anti-captitalism, personified as "Jewish bankers". Rothschilds and all that. Nasty.

Great list. In the UK, cycling and gardening are also racist. Oh, and recipe books.
Just a few of the things that were called "racist" during the Great Awokening (and I'm not joking): Fonts, mittens, milk, roads, band-aids, math, breakfast cereal, hiking, knitting, fish, countryside, earthquakes, salt, being nice, jogging, wives, sandwiches, science, dogs,

These people genuinely think they're tolerant, good and clever.
In Brighton there’s a new initiative to make the city ‘Zionist free’ which sounds an awful like ‘Jew free’. Among the leaders of the campaign is a man called Seymour Millen who is an official with the union @unisontheunion. If you are a member of Unison and antiZionist Jew hate

In my ‘tolerant’ city of Brighton antizionists are going door knocking to push ppl to boycott Israeli products. They’re marking down who isn’t interested. Feels like they’re making lists of bad Jews. This is REALLY SCARY.

This is a big part of the reason why they don't care about Syria, Sudan, Iran, or peope like the Eighurs or the Kurds. It's not just a racial thing. It's that those conflicts have little to no bearing on their aim of destroying the West.

Going back to the left-wing terror groups of the 70s shows why the far left supports Jihardis. SLA: US, Brigatte Rossi: Italy, Bader-Mienhof: Germany. England, IRA, and Spain, ETA, with nationalist socialist terrorism. But now they're outsourcing the initial terrorism.

The pile-in continues. "We're thinking of the victims" etc. Here in England, thousands of children were raped by racist gangs. Instead of protecting children, social services, police, politicians and media enabled the gangs. No wonder they prefer story 3,500 miles away
