#OTD 36 years ago, this monstrosity - the Berlin Wall - was overcome.

It was built by a Marxist dictatorship to prevent its own people from seeing and tasting the freedoms available on the other side of it.

A symbol of Communist joylessness, oppression and inferior achievement.

Realmente de primera el restaurante chileno Harrison’s (harrisonscoffee.com) en Londres, me comí un “completo completo” y ¡ya no volveré a comer hasta el finde! ¡Súper rico de verdad poh!

Strongly recommend the lovely Chilean food at Harrison’s in Paddington!

My sincere condolences to @zanetorofficial and all the family on the passing of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings with whom I enjoyed sharing many conversations.

May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing.

It almost seems like some ranting, obsessive Left Fascist Jew-haters on here and out there really don’t like ceasefires and peace after all. What a shock!

Ceasefire now!

“To be honest, we never really meant that. What we really meant was that we want the military destruction of Israel and, if necessary, of all the Je…, whoops we mean “Zionists” who live there. That’s the genocide we really want to see.”

Another hate march.

I really enjoyed the art @Tate Britain this morning but, judging from some of the accompanying inscriptions, you’d think their central mission was not art at all but to make visitors hate #Britain .

#Tate the hate.

Where the long ‘progressive’ march through the institutions ends up.

Great to welcome some musical royalty from #Ghana at my local pub in London tonight - the one and only @Blakkrasta whose new album drops soon!

Yes, let’s abolish terrorism laws so that our decent, jihadi fellow Islamists can righteously murder Jews with impunity.

The condemnatory statement of his son by the father of #jihadalshamie is beginning to look a touch threadbare now: here he is in 2012 calling on history to apologise to Hitler.

Perhaps young Jihad picked up on this kind of talk around the family dinner table?

In some mosques in the UK rabid, open #jewhate and incitement to violence are on display and, yet, no action is taken against them - ever.

Indeed, some of the same mosques have recently been visited by government ministers.

Nobody on the progressive Left wants to hear about or acknowledge it
Ignoring Islamic hate preaching will lead to more violence
Since he is now dead, untangling what went through Jihad Al-Shamie’s mind when he decided to attack Jews outside a Manchester synagogue yesterday is no longer possible. As Jewish community leaders rea...

‘Jihad just refers to “my struggle”, that’s all’

How many people call their children “Mein Kampf”?

“While one of the rainbows has proved to be a heroic, glorious, proletarian people’s progressive revolutionary movement on the ‘right side of history’, the other one sadly has been unmasked as a neo-imperialist cabal of Zionist lackeys and counter-revolutionary, capitalist running dogs.”

It’s her/his/your/our/their party and I’ll cry if I want to.
The split in Your Party has broken into the open.

Jeremy Corbyn urges supporters not to donate to the link promoted by Zarah Sultana. Sultana responds calling it a "sexist boys club."

The president-elect of the #oxfordunion doesn’t know the diference between ‘less’ and ‘more’.

“A browse through Bluesky – embraced by those who believe themselves to be ‘on the right side of history’ – will reveal an overwhelming number of users gleefully celebrating the slaughter of a fellow human being. At times like these, Bluesky seems like a symposium of the soulless.” - Andrew Doyle

Amazing to spend the afternoon with a bunch of old secondary school friends who I first met on our first day there exactly 50 years ago this week!

Terrific to meet up with @bellaigueC Chris de Bellaigue, multi-talented author, historian, novelist and journalist with whom I coincided in #Turkey in the late 1990s.
