Is this any great surprise? Antisemitism has been displayed openly around the world without the relevant authorities taking action. In some cases (as in the UK) they are encouraging it. The only surprise is that it hasn't happened sooner.

"In some cases (as in the UK) they are encouraging it." Who are 'they' and how are 'they' encouraging antisemitism?

I ask again who are these relevant authorities and how are 'they' encouraging antisemitism?
 
I'm sorry but the junior doctors who voted to go ahead with strike action amongst a huge flu outbreak can go **** themselves. They are on much better terms than nurses for example and I don't hear anything about them striking. Pricks.

Doctors vote to go ahead with five-day strike in England this week

It comes after ministers made fresh offer amid warning the walkout is risky as NHS battles wave of flu.

Its the consequence of the social contract being utterly ****ed by the Tories maliciously crushing public sector wages over a decade. People are just trying to get back to where they were, hard for Labour to balance fixing this whilst trying to keep services viable.

The BMA needs to be reasonable, but I certainly dont feel much hostility towards Resident Doctors themselves for this.

Trump ability to disgust seems unbounded, he is one sick **** as an American chum so succinctly put it.
"In an astonishing post on Truth Social this morning, Donald Trump suggested that Hollywood director Rob Reiner, 78, who was found dead at his home alongside his wife Michele, 68, in what is being investigated as an “apparent homicide”, was killed because he angered people with his “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
The president’s Truth post has been met with fierce criticism online, with many commentators calling it “disgusting” and “depraved”. Others have also contrasted Trump’s words with his administration’s calls for compassion after the killing of Charlie Kirk (and its crackdown on anyone it deemed to be “celebrating” or “making light” of it)."

Will be interesting to see if the people who hammered political rhetoric on 'the left' following the Charlie Kirk killing are consistent.

I'm sure some will be, but I am also expecting some childish bullshit along the lines of 'well the left started it' as well.

Paul Doyle, the man who ran down people at Liverpool's title parade, jailed for 21 years. Still hard to believe that no one was killed.
 
I see that Tice has refused to condemn Chris Parry's words about David Lammy being sent 'home.' Ten years ago everyone would have been shocked. In 2025 we are no longer surprised that a potential politician could make this statement nor that he should have background as an admiral in the Royal Navy.

I think that some sort of crime must have been committed here. It has nothing to do with free speech and is symptomatic of outdated and racist ideas gaining currency after having been rejected over the last 40 years.

It is disappointing that the dots are not being drawn up with Yexley Lennon and the likes of Reform amongst others are not finding their politicians incarcerated. The comments of Chris Parry are not acceptable and the failure of robust action by Tice is demonstrative that the current government is weak in prosecuting racism and a failure insofar as it's inability to shut down the likes of GB News and it's manifestations which are keen to normalise the unacceptable. The likes of Parry are not championing free speech but promoting racial hatred .

The government rightly complains about the actions of Reform and their popularity. It is about time that they took action against Reform. I cannot see any other political party objecting about this. I am so sure that there is a demand for the likes of the Anti Nazi League to counter the likes of Reform too.

I am staggered by this local incident but you hear similar incidents across the country with Reform. Reform are a threat to democratic security with their unhealthy views even before you the dubious links with Russia.

It is incredible that others are not so vociferous in their criticism. No one seems to be concerned about GB News offering support on TV and spouting nonsense on their Internet sites. It is annoying that Reform also gets support from people who should know better.

As for Farage , I just feel that his constituents must be ridiculously stupid not to realise he is rarely in Clacton and not serving their interests. No one seems prepared to criticise him or hold his party to account. Even the non white communities seem too quiet albeit I have personal experience that he is unsettling the Filipino community. It is staggering that there is so little opposition. Farage and Reform should represent an open goal for criticism.

I'm sure you'll be sharing your views of how "ridiculously stupid" the constituents of Coventry South are for their MP to be doing **** all in Coventry instead, spending her entire time on protests and spreading lies and disinformation on twitter?
