No matter how much you try to spin it 'in Palestine' is not the same as 'replacing Palestine'. The Balfour Declaration was explicit about this.
The far right psychopathy of Netanyahu was never mandated by Zionism itself. It's an unwelcome addition to it.

While I am on Sophie's side and I think Glinner is a monster, and I think the judge betrayed a bias in not using Sophie's preferred pronouns in the judgement, I also think that if this paragraph is accurate it does provide a bit of context on why Sophie wasn't necessarily believed 100%.

I’m begging whoever made the decision to use AI for subtitling on #primevideo, please reconsider. #thelonggoodfriday deserves better than this nonsense.

If it’s indiscriminate (ie not for a political or ideological motive) then it is de facto not terrorism under any generally accepted definition. At that point it’s simply criminal activity. Terrorism must have an ideological component.

That's uncontentious, but it's not what she said. She said Jewish people didn't suffer from racism but instead suffered prejudice. Now she's said she has 'no regrets' over those comments.
It's the 'no regrets' she's been suspended for, not the clarification of her uncontentious remarks.

She literally said Irish, Jewish, and Traveller people don’t suffer from racism but instead faced prejudice - like a ginger person might.
This is indefensible stuff Owen.

The thing is though, you're not arguing for it, you're just sharing inaccurate memes from bigots.
If you were truly engaging with the evidence you'd be able to tell me where in the equality act 'different' spaces are mentioned for trans people. You can't because they aren't.
It's piffle.

What harm are asexual people doing by having their own day of awareness, and why does JK Rowling feel the need to gun for them?
If you're taken in by Rowling's views on 'women's rights', what group of people could possibly be LESS of a risk to women than asexuals?

No, you made a statement that Labour are making 'cuts' deeper than those made by the Tories.
I've guessed you're referring to welfare cuts here so I looked it up, and the OBR says that's not correct. (obr.uk/forecasts-in...)
So what cuts are you talking about?
