In fairness the cause of the mass confusion is both:

1. Some people's extreme eagerness to believe any old nonsense if it is about Israel; and

2. The fact the ICJ writes in either an accidental, or deliberately, confusing way

Right

If we are admitting the impartiality failing BBC

Doesn't that mean we refer it to Ofcom?

Or are you your own regulator now? 🧐🧐🧐

1. Nigel was quoting Donald Tusk (who the pro EU BBC like), and
2. There has just been a stabbing at the Polish border

But because impartiality has died

The BBC can't be consistent, merely prejudiced

Lose impartiality = break your institution 😐

The UN receives billions in aid money for Gaza, which employs countless UN staff

In the corporate world, the charity world or the political world - it would have to disclose that and step back

The UN has a vested interest in the status quo in Gaza carrying on 😐

Power has been moved, systematically, away from democratic accountability

We are instead run by bundles of letters

Who most of us don't know, and certainly can't influence

A weak, bureaucratic dictatorship of 'experts' πŸ™„

For the second time in 5 months a local tory councillor has had their car set on fire outside their house.

In leafy Buckinghamshire 🧐

The further we go into Mob Rule, the worse things will get

If you ever want clear rules back, I'm in the library, come get me 😐

All these political lawyers are the same

It is their reputation for competence that they throw away

And to gain what? A few hours of howling from an ignorant mob?

There is no genocide.

'Western Civilisation has been a series of rebirths. Surely this should give us confidence in ourselves... we can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs.'

We will be reborn 😊

Once again 😐

This morning, Small is doing a Maypole dance

I remember back when I did Maypole dancing

I fear something may get in my eye 😊

Oh

We are admitting that the racism is racist

Well. It's a start. (but you can bin all that 'context' nonsense, truth is true) 😐

Racism against Jews - every day. 🧐

We are so conditioned to moving slowly

That moving quickly will be a shock

When it comes

(Which inevitably it will) 😐
