Ferguson's defence was that he believed shouting "sieg heil" at Jewish people was not a crime 😠
Wtf is wrong with these people?
The ban on tomorrow's Al Quds Day march may set a precedent for future protests in, particularly those deemed to pose a risk of public disorder or violence. It raises concerns about the balance between the right to protest and public safety, potentially leading to stricter regulations on similar events in the future.
If they can close this down, they can close anything down.

REUTERS is reporting tanks and aircraft strikes in #Gaza
CAIRO/GAZA March 9 (Reuters) - An Israeli airstrike and tank shelling killed six Palestinians, including two women and a girl, in separate attacks in Gaza City on Sunday, the deadliest incidents in Gaza since the U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran began a week ago, health officials said
Reuters footage showed Palestinians displaying blankets stained with blood, as some women sat and wept next to a white-shrouded body

Justice delayed is simply justice that has just not been metered out yet.

The group, which includes 22 retired judges and more than 300 senior barristers, alongside solicitors, academics, and other legal professionals, have urged Sir Keir Starmer to halt what they say is an "erosion of a deeply entrenched constitutional principle for negligible gain

Trump gave a speech today where he mentions American Prisioners of War who on July 26th, 1945, stood up to German guards.
It was a really impressive story. I was transfixed because war in Europe ended on May 8th, 1945.
Wtf!
The penguin on the left is holding his gun in an offensive way; whereas the penguin on the right is holding his gun in a defensive way.
I know it is hard to tell the difference, but apparently, the British government knows
As of today, in an increasingly facist Britain, refugees' status will become temporary and subject to review every 30 months for all adults claming asylum

Whilst the world was looking the other way, further atrocities were occurring in #Gaza
One Palestinian was killed, and seven others were injured over the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Sunday.
Sophie Ridge asks liar-in-chief Yvette Cooper, "Why has that position [allowing the Americans to use British airbases] changed"
"This is about the defence of our partners in the Gulf, defence of the countries where we have so many British citizens"
SR "So you are saying any strike on Iran is now defensive"
.
#bbclaurak says to Pritti Patel, "There were negotiations ongoing so why act now?"
PP "We can't just speculate and say all was going well"
LK "But we have spoken to man who was in those negotiations, and he thought there was progress."
PP "The Americans did not think that, and the Israelis did not think that either. So for them to have taken action as they did they must have felt their countries were under threat"
"The moment Israel bombed a school and killed 80 children we knew that international law was not being obeyed.
So, the very first prerequisite is to make sure we uphold international law. Once you begin to do that, then you have a framework within which you can negotiate, but right now, we don't even have that framework because international law is eroding before our very eyes and that is making us all less safe" #Polanski on #bbclaurak
"I don't have the answer to peace and stability in the region, but I do know there's no example in history where you bomb people to democracy," said #Polanski on #BBCLauraK
Healey is on #BBCLauraK saying that Starmer has called for Iran to 'return to back to diplomatic talks'
Which is precisely what they were doing the day before the Americans and Israeli decided to break off those talks saying they "were unproductive" and then, some 24 hours later, rain missiles down on their cities!
Hannah Spencer, the newest MP in Parliament who, overnight, has made #Starmer look like yesterday's man
"If Labour needed any further wake up calls - this is clearly one. Labour need to now ditch the gimmicks and get back to being Labour - not new, not one that plays games, but real Labour.
We have a cost of living crisis largely being ignored and investment in jobs for the here-and-now being blocked by a Treasury that doesn’t seem to understand the basics of what is needed to build Britain.
