Ten days ago - before the war in #Israel began - I heard @JakeWSimons speak at #CPC23 I immediately bought his new book, #Israelophobia I will start reading it this evening. Incredibly timely and important. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Israelophobia-Newest-Version-Oldest-Hatred/dp/1408719274/ref= https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1712742583384863127#m

You can't compare "obesity" to "smoking" or "cigarettes." One is a body shape. The others are an action and a product respectively. You could arguably compare certain types of food to cigarettes but even then, all food has *some* nutritional benefit, whereas there is no safe amount of smoking.

An important article by @JakeWSimons, whom I heard speak at #CPC23 in Manchester only five days ago Islamist anti-Semitism is behind Israel’s darkest hour since the Yom Kippur war https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/10/07/islamist-anti-semitism-israels-darkest-since-yom-kippur-war/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1710933969816969724#m

This was a security failure of astounding proportions, but now we must defend the Jewish state against forces of evil

No matter how hard he demonises Trans people and Refugees, Rishi Sunak has lost #GE2024 already by being the face of the cock-up with #HS2
The Rot is so bad in this country that we can't even build a railway without The Grift fucking it up. And the World has noticed lads, as has most of the county.
It's over boys. Just stop talking and fuck. off.

Rishi Sunak having his wife doing a speech at #CPC23 is like Tom Wambsgans having Shiv Roy do a speech because daddy Roy doing it would be too obvious.

I’ve left behind lots of good people on Twitter.

Over there, one of them has this to say about Penny Mordaunt’s deranged speech at #cpc23

“Hahaha these are fascists. Do you see it yet? Can you see what they’re becoming? Mark my words, if they lose the next election they’ll spend the time consolidating to the right, and then we'll be in deep shit.”

"RishGPT veers between dull and delusional in Tory conference speech"

"He just sounds awkward. Detached. Words tumble out in more or less the right order but they are drained of emotional intelligence. He’s bet the house on himself and he can’t even connect with himself. He merely sounds patronising. Condescending. Listening to him speak is an ordeal."

It did, however, make Gillian Keegan very moist.

Sunak may be slightly better than the Maybot, but he’s still very much AI in development
