It wasn’t to be yesterday but still had an amazing day at Murrayfield cheering on Scotland against the All Blacks. The atmosphere was intense, I may have lost my voice for most of the game 😂

Anyone who will lie unapologetically about mass violent attacks to push their own profile and political cause is beneath contempt.
There’s no need to book such people, to platform them, or to listen to them. That’s not because of their politics, or their views: it’s because of their dishonesty.

Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

The Israeli military killed 46 Palestinian children overnight.
That's 10 more than the total number of Israeli children killed on 7th October.
Yet there was more outrage over the fictional beheadings of Israeli babies than these 46 kids.
That's easy: because there's no outrage

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Outstanding work from Comrade McKenna, basically acknowledging that the @scottishgreens.org would make society so much better, but he's not voting for us because we also think war criminals should face consequences.

"He wants to Scotland to hunt down those from here who signed up with the IDF and participated in ‘the genocide’.
"And what if Mr Greer did succeed in his attempts to prosecute these people? Will there be doors getting knocked at 2am and attics being searched?" 👇

Four Scots have been kidnapped by the Israeli military while trying to deliver lifesaving food and medical supplies to starving Palestinians as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
The UK government must intervene, and this genocide must be brought to an end.
