#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.

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.

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?

“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.”

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!

My last ever photo with my Dad, taken in a pub in Stepney in the East End where he was born and grew up. He left us, aged 93, on this day in 2012.
Always fondly remembered, always missed.
