Beautiful response...

Muslims falsely blamed for pretty much everything nowadays but ask yourself who made this “respectable” in the first place counterfire.org/article/resist…

Solidarity with #Gaza - another huge demonstration on a weekend when anti-racists are standing together #FreePalestine

Was hoping not to see someone make the disgusting comparison between peaceful pro-Palestine marches and violent assaults by fascists on Muslims & refugees - but sure enough one former “newspaper” editor obliges

Why should Zarah Sultana MP even have to waste time with these fools arguing that media & politicians should call these pogroms Islamophobic when there's no such debate about the term antisemitism? When your mosques are being attacked, this is anti-Muslim racism. It's Islamophobia.

The regulator is going to hire private firms to manage the "market exit" of universities caused by the very same market forces & they're going to call for "transformation plans" drawing on the same language Goldsmiths is using to sack 97 academics. Unreal ft.com/content/8b1bdf…

This is increasingly common sense to many but just in case you want additional evidence, read these powerful reports from Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) cfmm.org.uk/wp-content/upl… & mcb.org.uk/resources/stat…. #Islamophobia is rampant within the British media

In case you need reminding about how deep #Islamophobia is in the media, this is what the Sun's 'topic' page on Islam looks like right now-filled with stories about terror, Hamas & antisemitism. Literally nothing positive to say about 6% of the UK population. Tip of the iceberg.

“The majority of the media jumped on the ‘Stop the Boats’ agenda further normalising the argument that ‘illegal migration’ is the main problem faced by a country whose assets have stripped by billionaires & corrupt politicians,not desperate refugees” counterfire.org/article/talkin…

Blame Telegram, X, Russia, algorithms, foreign influence etc for the riots - just don’t ask what impact years of fomenting Islamophobia by mainstream UK media and politicians might have had…counterfire.org/article/talkin…

#Southend standing firm against those who want to divide us. Nazis not welcome here

These are front pages you don’t often see & make a very welcome change to these papers’ long tradition of anti-immigrant headlines. Presumably normal service to be resumed soon.

I don’t want to see a bailout like with the banks after 2008 so that we can carry on with the same broken funding model. We need public funding & democratic control over the university reserves built up during the “golden years” theguardian.com/education/arti…

What, exactly, will it take to end all UK arms sales to Israel? Too late I know but this is unbelievably horrible aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/10…

If you think that the concept of “public service” is going to rescue you from market corruption & government interference, think again. Organisations like the Post Office and BBC are far closer to the state than to publics they claim to serve. An article… journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

Defence reporting is more like PR than journalism and part of a disturbing drive to war at the heart of the military establishment and echoed by the media. My latest for Declassified UK declassifieduk.org/defence-corres…

1,320 migrants have drowned or are missing in the Mediterranean so far this year. Unlike billionaire super yachts, they have not received blanket media coverage despite the horror of the situation facilitated by western border policies Missing Migrants Project
