in Aug 2019 I tried repeatedly to get a piece in the Guardian suggesting anti-Corbyn saboteurs in the LP were fanning the flames & doing so was itself #antisemitism. Editor told me explicitly I would NOT be allowed to criticise Corbyn's critics motives opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…

this is the actual text of what the editor told me

Do you every try a podcast and unfortunately the host is just simply too American voiced

The slippery slope regarded ‘assisted dying’ is real. And the phrase is a euphemism trying to disguise the fact that we are talking about active killing. The thing forbidden by the commandments.

Not all countries are as captured by parasitic financialisation/ shareholder/rentier model: the uk is a clear outlier. Most other European countries (&even USA) have productive industrial strategies & retained significant manufacturing capabilities, their own steel production etc

On this day in 1997. Tino Asprilla scores a hat-trick as Newcastle United beat Barcelona 3-2 in the Champions League. #NUFC

As someone who works in the tech field, if you’re not profoundly disturbed by this pager story, you should be. The implications are massive.

If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it.

Amazing how "terrorist attack" becomes an "explosion at supermarket" when Israel does it

Absolutely gutted about Toto Schillachi. I was in awe of Italian football in that era. Very sad.

This is a very good point about what Israel in its arrogance has done to all of us. What impact will this now have in global supply chains of electronics? iPhones?

In fairness this seems like one of the only good effects of the new Labour government

There’s power in a Union.

Whoever you are, contact your old friend, I bet he misses you too. Let the win of San Marino be te reason to get back together. That’s what football is about: getting together and enjoying the beautiful game.

To repeat what many others have said, this terminates the Israeli technology industry. No consumer electronic business will risk allowing any Israeli supplier to touch any part of the value chain. This will raise costs for us all as extra security checks will be needed.

This seems to be Israel’s tech industry down the toilet then. Who in their right mind will by technology from a rogue state like this? #LebanonExplosion

Flying_Rodent I for one am very unhappy that Mossad has just shown every terror cell in Europe that you can basically plunge a country into absolute chaos with one intercepted shipping container.

What’s now to stop a terrorist group copying this method from mossad and intercepting a ship by container of iPhones destined for Britain ?
