My response to a critic (Retsef Levi) of my podcast with Efrat Fenigson on the barbaric attack on Israeli civilians by Hamas. Expand it and scroll up to see the history of the interaction. My answer to his question about the title of the podcast is in the next tweet down.

Sunday roasts, afternoons in the pub, anglican heritage, shakespeare, drums and pipes, queuing, cricket, pretending to hate the french, general feelings of embarrassment, bemused monarchism, pretending to live in the countryside, football, rugby, races at ascot, glyndebourne,

I don’t really want to see the raw footage, but it should be shared. Even video can’t be completely trusted these days, but I definitely don’t trust accounts on Twitter claiming to have seen videos. And I say this as someone who finds the atrocities all too plausible.

Ok I'll bite. British culture is diverse. But you know it when you see it. It's pub culture. It's Wimbledon. It's airshows and steam rallies on a Summer day's. It's boating on the Thames. It's fish and chips on the harbour. It's eighties nights and rock clubs. It's garden fetes

They love a mask. Well done for normalising this utter shit 3 years ago…

If you pray in the wrong place, you can be arrested, if you’re a football fan who engages in offensive chanting, you can be arrested, if you post an offensive meme in a private convo, you can be arrested, but you can parade through the streets calling for Jihad & not be arrested.

The government is considering banning pro-Palestine marches. I'm against this. The problem isn't the marches. The problem is our country is full of people who hate it. We should be removing foreign terrorists, terror funders and violent criminals. They don't belong here.
