Such sad news about Robbo. He was our greatest ever player.
Back in February, I wrote an appreciation of Robbo for the fanzine 'Oh Mist Rolling In'. It’s reproduced here:

Said this to one of those progressive types who doesn’t ever want to listen to anything or anyone that challenges their hate filled worldview…. And…. Yeah, he blocked me. Lols.
Bless. Try speaking to people outside your bubble. Like me. You’ll learn that not everything is either oppressing or oppressed, colonialism is obvious nonsense, women are women etc

The police crackdown on 'globalise the intifada' chants is too little, too late
The chant was never opaque. The intifadas were not metaphors or moods. Why did it take the Met Police so long to take action?

Just as we did against the nazis, we must fight this hatred and racism wherever we find it…. Starting with all the sympathisers here in 🇬🇧in our universities and political parties. Terrorism is obviously incompatible with our values - as are its backers.
Among those killed in the Bondi Beach shooting was Alex Kleytman, a native of Ukraine and Holocaust survivor, who died shielding his wife. That he was taken by the same hatred he braved decades earlier is a profound tragedy.

Israel wasn’t blocking baby formula. Hamas had it all along.
They chose to deliberately let Gazan children starve to sell a false narrative that blamed Israel.

The media said Gazan babies were starving because Israel “blocked” formula. The UN repeated it. Ms. Rachel amplified it.
But new footage shows thousands of pounds of baby formula and nutrition shakes in a Hamas Ministry of Health warehouse, deliberately stolen and hidden by Hamas.🧵
