    There's also the double standards of these clutching their pearls when public protest outside private addresses, but are more than happy to turn a blind eye to the haranguing of politicians and celebrities by their gutter tabloid press....

    Alright, journalists, the next time somebody says this unfounded bollocks, why not ask them a simple question: "When?"

    And while they're stammering as they weren't expecting basic journalism, point out the sharp increase in Islamophobia since early October - not least from various Tory MPs who are casually spouting it at this point

    That's exactly what I was posting about above. That's what he (and Coffey) was saying on BBC and then he's spouted it on Sky.

    So they're doing the rounds. And nobody can see the narrative being set?

    What threats of violence on the ceasefire marches???

    Why is it the right wing just make **** up and it becomes the accepted truth? <doh>

    Btw there was ACTUAL violence and physical assault towards muslims (particularly women) up and down the UK after 9/11. Recorded cases, but here the narrative is based on "feelings".

    On the subject of making **** up, I'm sure that Ofcom will be on this like a bloodhound with no nose and all four legs amputated

    Define "anti-Israeli feeling" - and, if you have time, try to define "some communities" while you're at it

    And no, saying "B-b-b-but you let the Tories in!!1!" is not an answer

    Looks like the efforts of Braverman, 30p Lee et al are not resonating with their target voter base...

    After a weekend of silence, Sunak finally surfaces and calls out Anderson's comments. However, neither he, not today's sacrificial lamb MP Mark Harper appear to have reached 'I' in the dictionary!

    Harper also intimated that Anderson might be brought back into the fold should he now apologise and there's already a new Tory WhatsApp group (how many is it now?) calling for his return <doh>

    For context, after being reduced to a stammering idiot in the space of thirty seconds with such probing questions as "How?" and "Why?" to which she had no answer, the stochastic terrorist who was wearing a red cap on January 6th 2021 - who turned up to the interview in a t-shirt of the interviewer's face thinking it would fluster them - pulled out her phone and showed the interviewer porn thinking that was the nuclear option to throw them off

    Good news for Rishi-Washy: for a change there's an MP spreading far right propaganda which he doesn't have to avoid acknowledging for as long as possible

    Andrew Bridgen should be sectioned. He's utterly mental.

    Well at least Tugendhat has called it for what it is.

    He's always come across as decent tbf. One of the few that hasn't dipped his toes in the mire of right-wing culture wars.

    Agreed, although accepting that there is a very low bar set....

    I'm assuming this counts as those "threats to MPs" which apparently didn't exist last Tuesday but were suddenly all we heard about by Thursday morning?
