Jesus - United's owners are all fascists
💰NEW: Manchester United director Edward Glazer has donated $200,000 to Trump’s Republican Party ahead of the midterms, @CityAM can reveal.
Owners at Palace, Villa, Bournemouth and Ipswich (as well as Boehly) have given cash ahead of Tuesday’s vote, too.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Fantastic interviewing from the BBC’s @sallynugent.
Imagine if Farage had got this kind of scrutiny and persistent questioning from UK media interviewers over the past decade? The UK might not be in the mess it is today.
Look how annoyed and uncomfortable he is.
Car crash alert 🚨
Sally Nugent asks Nigel Farage about Raheem Kassam's “Nigerian scammer” comments on Kemi Badenoch and his response is painful to watch.

Fun fact: Despite what the $7k-per-post crowd would have you believe, NOT a single church was burnt down during the French student protests.
Meanwhile, all of Gaza’s historic churches have been bombed by Israel, including St. Porphyrius (Greek Orthodox), Holy Family (Catholic) and Gaza Baptist (Protestant).
People like Farage, Tommy Robinson and Lowe don't seem to care about those churches for some reason.

Donald Trump just made a very weird demand in the BBC lawsuit - what is he afraid of?

Anyone interested in free speech, will be angry or worried about this, surely?
The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future.
As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely.
After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally.
After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much.
However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us.
We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

This is the guy who filmed the man sitting on the wall and, when he was called a racist, claimed he wasn't one.
Well, Darren Summerfield is awaiting trial on a charge of racially or religiously aggravated disorderly behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer.
She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide.
The least we can do is to listen.

Read that again.
A 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer arrested under terrorism legislation - for opposing genocide.
I interviewed her before she was arrested.
It's not Margaret Owen who is a terrorist.
It's the people who helped Israel wipe Gaza from the face of the earth
BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @andyburnham’s Labour Party conference.
UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns.

"The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair"
It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel.
Now no one dares.

Trump gave a speech where he bragged about war crimes he's got away with, and suggested a few new ones. And he tried to rebrand AI as an American super weapon. Something feels different
