Re: Thursday 30th April 2026
So, Reform supporters were throwing Hitler salutes outside a Green Party event today, but it's the only Jewish party leader in the UK who's an antisemitic threat? Pics and video on Bluesky :

Re: Thursday 30th April 2026
The Question Time 'election special' for England came tonight from Maidenhead. I'm putting election special in inverted commas because literally half the programme was spent discussing anti-Semitism which as far as I can see has nothing to do with the local elections the programme was supposed to be about.
Lets just get Zia Yusuf out of the way first shall we. This smug fucking cunt was allowed to rant, at length, about the Greens being a party of anti-Semitic extremists with barely any pushback from Bruce (she was too busy joining in herself). It was a jaw droppingly one sided segment of broadcasting from our state broadcaster and it took a genuine effort to stop myself turning it off in disgust. Later Bruce made a token effort to ask Yusuf about the Islamophobia which permeates his entire party but he was allowed to just brush it off. Absolutely shocking.
For the Greens we had Rachel Millward. Given that Rachel was facing not just the above but attacks from Labour and the Tories (along with some very odd Reform weirdo in the audience) she should be pleased with her performance. At no point was she cowed by the flak she was taking from all sides and stuck to her guns. Yes anti-Semitism is bad, but conflating marching peacefully against genocide with hating Jews when there are so many Jews on the marches is patently absurd. She correctly pointed out that economic hardship was the main driver of more extremist views (on both sides), and offered the option of a more hopeful future for the country which rightly got her the loudest applause of the evening.
For Labour we had Emma Reynolds. Emma told us that everyone in the cabinet still thinks Starmer is
the bees knees with a straight face. She told us everything's going to be great, we just need to wait a bit longer for Labour to do wonderful things. She even got a smattering of applause for pointing out councils had essentially been defunded for years under Tory austerity. But mostly she gave the impression that she was tied to a railway track, could see the train coming, and was doing her damnedest to deny it existed.
For the Tories we had Victoria Atkins. Bless. Victoria would have us believe Kemi Badenoch has been touring the country meeting 'ordinary people' and connecting with them like no other party leader. I don't know about you but 'relatable' isn't a word I'd associate with Badenoch, or 'sociable'. Her own party say she hardly speaks to any of them. Which I suppose is understandable. Victoria also kept up with the 'hate marches' rhetoric calling for them to be banned. It's a very odd thing this right wing notion of free speech. It's almost as if they don't really believe in it at all.
For the Lib Dems we had Daisy Cooper. Good old Daisy, she got a whopping round of applause for pointing out that the governments' brainless, ham fisted banning of Palestinian Action had resulted in more arrests of peaceful protesters than any dickheads on those marches who might have been genuinely anti-Semitic. Splendid.

Re: Thursday 30th April 2026
Today I've been mostly putting together flat pack furniture (from Argos because I'm too poor for Ikea) and astonishingly everything went fine and I didn't have a single missing/left over screw.
