“A Metropolitan policeman who was filmed calling a Palestinian journalist a ‘dog’ had already been accused of harassing an Iranian woman in a previous incident [..].

Special constable David Soffer was at the front of a mob that surrounded Al Jazeera journalists in Golders Green earlier this year.

He was filmed calling one of them a ‘dog’ in Arabic, adding: ‘Go back to Qatar… Get out of here, you donkey’”

“Stop making excuses: the UK is filled with racists who’ll happily vote Reform”

“Make no mistake: Great Britain has always been a far-right, racist circus; currently, that circus is gathering in the shape of Reform’s sweeping victories in the local elections. After all, let’s remember that Nigel Farage has not just waved a magic wand and tricked loads of people into voting for him. Instead, he’s piped his merry little tune to get racist white people happily skipping along behind him. If there is going to be any chance of resisting Reform’s fascism and racism, the left must accept it as such”

“When Muslim men are murdered [in the UK - my edit], the reaction is institutional indifference”

“Abdul Wali Mamozai, a Muslim man, was murdered in Bracknell on 27 April, a few days before a mentally ill man wounded two Jewish people — and one Muslim man — in London.

When the latter attack took place, the media went into a frenzy. The Muslim victim was airbrushed out to a footnote at best. The government and ‘opposition’ condemned the ‘antisemitic’ attack, immediately announcing special measures and huge amounts of extra funding for security for the Jewish community.

They also deleted the Muslim victim”
