Really sums up the situation well, although it’s interesting that his co-hosts on the News Agents weren’t able to offer the same challenges or journalistic questioning of a sitting Government Minister (who is incidentally involved in scrapping of juries). Jon Sopal even offered up a comment about “the hate marches” himself, which doesn’t seem right.
I live near Epsom and felt terrorised by the far right riots recently taking over the high street and trying to invade a random house that turned out to be an adult refuge. Why aren’t the people who are literally filming themselves doing the same all over there UK being proscribed?
Ever since 9/11, Muslims have been targeted, vilified and called terrorists in the UK. Even those not involved at all were expected to “look within” and we had the travesty of Prevent. I completey oppose this form of thinking but why isn’t the Jewish community being held to the same amount when we know they have hosted ex-IDF soldiers in this country and British citizens have, completely openly, joined the IDF and committed war crimes. Going to “defend their homeland” is fine is it for them but a 15 year old who was groomed online to join what she thought was a fight for her homeland is stripped off all citizenship and left to rot in a refuge camp abroad. Again, I do not condone their actions but it just shows what the State can do when it wants to.
It is the double standards and hypocrisy that really stands out in all of this. We should be doing our best to stop all violence against anybody - violence by a British backed state against children using weapons that we know passes through our country, violence against any Jews, Muslims or any other religion in this country, violence against refugees, violence against women, and so on
Journalists know what they have to say and what questions they have to ask to keep their jobs.
Nowhere is this more obvious than this CBS interview with Zohran Mamdani https://youtube.com/shorts/gFpObPAoIbA
Ex minister. She’s a Tory, not currently in government. Not that that really detracts from the point, but it’s good to be accurate to prevent shitebags from using simple mistakes to derail the point being made.
Thank you for the correction
Just watch her dead, tired eyes during that interview.
