So as I suggested, not dissimilar to Stop Funding Hate and with the same aims as the Mayor(s) of Brussels.

Presumably the Global Disinformation Index is yet another group of self-righteous activists who see it as their right to try to stifle any voices and opinions they don’t agree with, not unlike Stop Funding Hate and the Mayor(s) of Brussels.

How about a quarter-quarter-quarter-quarter scarf to celebrate our (hopefully) reaching the play-offs? I’ll get my coat…

Forest Green relegated. Conclusive proof that a vegan diet isn’t good for you!

Ah, but have they made it illegal to grow your own tobacco? Perhaps they’ll allow up to three plants for personal consumption!

With this smoking ban it doesn’t look like the UK will be legalising weed anytime soon!

Talking of being linked with extremists, I see the Mayor of Brussels was seemingly happy to host the Mayor of Tehran. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1888954/natcon-shut-down-brussels-mayor-iran

Regardless of what people might think of Farage, Braverman et al, the Brussels Mayor ordering the police to close down the NatCon Conference is chilling. It should be remembered that this conference was held last year in London without the slightest problem. You can be vehemently against what the speakers might have had to say, but to shut it down on political grounds because you don’t like their legitimate views is disgraceful. It should be called out for what it is: red fascism. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/national-conservatism-conference-brussels-shut-down-police-b2529501.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/04/16/rishi-sunak-latest-news-smoking-ban-simon-clarke-liz-truss/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/16/belgian-mayor-natcon-conference-braverman-farage-brussels

No, that would never do.

This time a bishop conducting a church service was apparently attacked and stabbed multiple times. Some members of the congregation were seemingly also attacked. Motivation of the attacker as yet unknown.

As a democratic nation, Israel is a beacon of relative sanity in an area of extreme volatility full of countries and militias that are at best ambivalent to the West and at worst despise us, and thus it is of enormous strategic importance.

Nevertheless, the fact is that it is.

And under what circumstances do you think Iran and its proxies will accept a permanent peace with the “Little Satan”, given that they’re committed to its destruction?

If Israel wasn’t a democratic country and an important Western ally in an inherently unstable and dangerous region then you might have a point.

Although I’ve no idea of the motivation of the attacker, I understand that Bondi has a high Jewish population.
