@MrBenSellers This man is chief of staff for shadow minister @LauraPidcockMP under @jeremycorbyn’s #RegressiveLeft @UKLabour party. Here he mocks a 70 year-old Jewish woman whose family were murdered in the Holocaust. Observe socialists turning into National Socialists before your very eyes
@MrBenSellers @LauraPidcockMP @jeremycorbyn @UKLabour He is white & privileged but clearly believes that his left-wing credentials immunise him from racism. Only a supreme sense of moral absolutism & righteousness (in other words poisonous ideological dogma) blinds people to their own arrogance in this way #CtrlLeftAltRightDelete
@MrBenSellers @LauraPidcockMP @jeremycorbyn @UKLabour Years ago when we used to say the #RegressiveLeft were racists, many would stare at us confused, “the left, racist? How can that be?” We would reply that they weaponise race, and abuse minorities who ‘rose above our station’. Well, now you see @UKLabour overrun with with racists
@MrBenSellers @LauraPidcockMP @jeremycorbyn @UKLabour Finally, I too disagree with Hodge’s comparison, but recognise it is a traumatic reaction born of a fear from living memory of the Holocaust. For party staffers to taunt Jews whose families were slaughtered is the very essence of punching down, like nasty #RegressiveLeft bullies
@MrBenSellers @LauraPidcockMP @jeremycorbyn @UKLabour Fascinating to watch alt-light free speech absolutists who constantly minimise racist jokes “because it’s all for the lulz”, rush to defend Corbyn’s #RegressiveLeft minimising of anti-Semitism. Fascism always starts with hatred for the Jews, from left & right #PoliticalHorseshoe

I think in terms of intellectual precedents. Others think to win political battles. As crucial as some of these are, are we winning battles only to lose the war? Is a culture of allegation, trial by the mob & guilt for expediency good for any of us? All sides seem to be doing it.
Can anyone help me understand when an allegation should (as urgent as it may be) derail a career & when not? Or should every allegation derail a career? And when highly politicised careers are targets of derailment, when do our politics also get factored in. Or never? Or always?
The worst part is, I hear from people all the time who are now scared - petrified - to ask these very basic, justice based, questions from fear of the mob. That can’t be good. At all.

Pakistani PM Imran Khan’s concessions to the worst, bloodthirsty frothing fundamentalist inquisitors, continues unabated - just as all liberal Muslim commentators said it would.
Aside from fact that according to the 1951 Citizenship Act, 60% Afghans born in Pakistan already have citizenship rights, this is good. Now, isn’t it time Arab countries granted Palestinians citizenship instead of abandoning generations in camps as fodder? voanews.com/a/pakistan-pm-…
Jordan hosts 2.1 million multi-generation Palestinian refugees, no citizenship. They dwell in camps. Half a million likewise each in Syrian &Lebanese camps,no citizenship. Yet Arab countries grandstand, moan & hypocritically pontificate over the Palestinian cause internationally

This white man (I called him Matt) stood between me & racist thugs in Southend Essex, UK outside Chalkwell Park Fair, circa August 1993. They made me watch as they stabbed him multiple times. I was only 15. This man saved me. I never got to thank him. Please help me find him 🙏🏽
Please help me @CarlEveCrime See above
The extract is from my autobiography Radical. I stupidly only realised today that I can use social media to try and find him. If you know him or can help me find him, I would like to finally give him the hug I’ve been waiting to give him for 25 years. You changed my life, brother

Here’s an idea for you: fuck off trying to police speech, and focus on your jobs policing you know.... crime. Oh, and do take the intern off your twitter account.
Er... oh, is that ⬆️ “non-crime hate speech” now?
