Here we go again with the mob screaming 'fascist' and 'n*zi' at women and having to be held back by the police.
I really don't want to hear a single word again from politicians about 'marginalised, oppressed minorities' or 'toxicity on both sides'. They really make me sick.
Last night, our members made history. We stood together in #Nottingham for the first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march the city has seen in well over a decade. In fact, this was likely the only explicitly female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the entire country this year. 1/11

Welcome to the country we have allowed antisemitism to create. The opposite of what we all fought for.
For more than 100 years Jewish ex servicemen and women in Hackney have joined the communal Remembrance events.
The memorial was actually unveiled in 1921 by a Jewish Victoria Cross medal holder so holds a special place in the story of British Jewry.
This year was different because Hackney is now led by the Greens who echo the same Jew obsession as the Nazis.
As a small but respectful protest, the Jewish ex servicemen stayed away from the community wreath laying until the Mayor of Hackney and her keffiyeh sporting activist councillors left.
A small but heartbreaking rebellion, as Hackney AJEX chair Martin Sugarman, who is speaking here, told me:
‘We did not want to be associated in any way, or be complicit with the scurrilous Jew hatred of the Greens, or in any way be seen to give them credibility in Hackney, we attended the usual ceremony, with our Local branch Standard bearer, outside the church at St Johns's - as we have done for the past 100 years or so with fellow veterans and families - but refused to lay our Star of David poppy wreath. Instead we gathered in our small multi-faith group after the Greens had marched away, and held our own private wreath laying with a short service in Hebrew and English, for all those who defended freedom and democracy.’
We’re all so glad that your millionaire ass feels better after someone got murdered in cold blood for debating. Going with the political flow?

Stonewall has been given unprecedented access to Downing Street and helped the Labour Government draw up its “chilling” Conversion Practices Bill.
The Telegraph has revealed that the controversial charity has been supplying Downing Street with research to justify the proposed law.
Under the Bill, parents, therapists and religious leaders could face up to five years in prison for having important conversations with gender-confused children or sharing their faith’s teachings on sex, gender and marriage with their congregations.
Stonewall’s head of policy was reportedly invited to a meeting at 10 Downing Street to discuss the proposed law and made recommendations to the MPs scrutinising the Bill.
Dennis Kavanagh, director of the Gay Men’s Network and a criminal barrister, said his organisation had not been offered similar meetings. He told The Telegraph: “The level of government access afforded to Stonewall is extraordinary, particularly in view of their extreme position on gender matters and their poor track record in accurately stating the law.”
Published in June, the Bill’s impact assessment cited a Stonewall survey to argue that conversion practices were so prevalent that new legislation was needed — even though conversion practices are already illegal.

A kidnapped teenager was finally rescued after using Among Us to get help.
The 17-year-old had been held captive for 521 days after being lured into a meeting through Snapchat when she was just 15.
Her captor gave her a phone with no mobile data, but she managed to connect to Wi-Fi and play Among Us. She used the chat to contact another player and tell them she had been kidnapped.
That player told her mother, who contacted the FBI.
You’re such a weasel @owenjonesjourno “I think” 😂
I've met Russell Brand twice (I think):
Once when I hosted a Guardian Live event about his book in 2014.
Another time I interviewed him for The Big Issue when I was guest editing in 2015.
He also gave my publishers an endorsement for my book The Establishment, which I was mortified about at the time mostly because I thought it was so OTT it would obviously invite ridicule (which it did).
At the time I saw him as a crude means to reach disillusioned younger people with left-wing politics - the sort of people who wouldn't be reached by conventional left-wing journalists and politicians.
As a result I was willing to overlook, or just not look into, his history of problematic behaviour / statements, including sexism.
I convinced myself that he was on some sort of journey and that was a good thing. That was an obvious misjudgement.
I did think he was a bit of a chancer / had a messianic complex, but overlooked that too as a necessary evil in reaching disengaged people.
But that was clearly his main driving force and he clearly ended up concluding that right-wing politics was a better vehicle to satisfy it.
It's an important lesson in not stupidly engaging clearly problematic figures, however charismatic or however much mass appeal they have, in the service of a cause.
What I would say is that right now we should be centring the survivors of a rapist and sexual predator.
I personally don't really think those trying to point score have his survivors' interests at heart.
I would also argue that those with the big questions to answer are the right-wing figures who continue to stand by him and spread conspiratorial nonsense in his defence.
Finally, let's hope that other possible survivors of Russell Brand feel able to come forward.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jones also provided a blurb for Brand's book Revolution ("Funny, full of charm, and engaging") and wrote 2015 Guardian columns praising Brand's Labour endorsement and defending engagement with him.

“Pause on advanced AI” 😂 A third of USA’s economy, but sure, dum dum. I’m certain that China 🇨🇳 is looking at this and giggles. It’s like watching badly written Netflix series from overseas.

What a bunch of cunts. Surely they’d fire a Muslim person for their beliefs? Ah nah, that would be discrimination, eh?

Every single time ANYTHING happens, the FastMedia geniuses come out of the woodwork based on some insane crap they’ve seen on TikTok. This is clearly a Learjet. Go touch some grass. People have died and you’re shitting on them.

Studios will never learn that catering to a tiny minority with special needs whilst shitting on everyone else only leads to bankruptcy.
Dead by Daylight has apologized after TheBurntPeanut was gifted every DLC character and perk during a livestream
The decision was made without the required approvals, despite the game’s Twitch account telling him: “WE CAN TAKE THE HEAT! THEY ARE YOURS TO KEEP”

So every freak is now upset about Burnt Peanut getting support from Dead by Daylight devs? And, even worse, the devs pussied out and caved in under almost zero pressure? This timeline is so funny.

I’m sure reviewers had a “blast” with new Gears of War, this clearly shows that gamers… not so much.
