I see Rachel Riley is seeking protection after receiving threats for highlighting the increase in anti-semitism. Gutless and shameful

How do I put my name forward?
It is happening today, people being killed for whatever warped reason whether in Asia as the Rohinga's were, Syria by their own President, previously in Africa, the Balkans, it takes little to light the fire of hatred for whatever reason. Each atrocity should be remembered for what it was and never forgotten...
Totally this......it’s still happening and will happen in the future.....it’s a ****ed up world, always has been, always will be.
Sadly numbers in a page becoming meaningless (100 killed here, 300 killed there etc etc). When each man, women and child is thought of as an individual then that’s when the true horror is realised.

5% of adults in the UK do not believe the holocaust happened.
Is there any breakdown on who in our society thinks this?
In other news, 5% of the UK population are muslims.
Over here, the Republicans are trying to blame ‘The Left’ (Democrats, who they always accuse of being Communists) for the Holocoust.
Thankfully, not all Houstonians are this moronic.

Oh....no...not Jeremy Hardy
We saw him well before he was even slightly famous in a comedy club near west Hampstead station.(in late1970s I think)..there were only about 20 of us in there. He was the funniest,cleverest thing I had ever seen).
He lived by his Socialist principles...He never changed such a legend ...so sad.

Very sad, a decent and talented bloke. I enjoyed his warm humour - pretty much disagreed with all he said politically but respected his passion.
Clive Swift: Keeping Up Appearances star dies at 82
Image caption Swift spent six years playing Richard to Patricia Routledge's Hyacinth
Actor Clive Swift, known to millions as Hyacinth Bucket's hen-pecked husband Richard in BBC One's 90s sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, has died aged 82.
Swift, who spent 10 years at the RSC before breaking into television, also acted in such series as Peak Practice, Born and Bred and The Old Guys.
He spent six years playing Richard opposite Dame Patricia Routledge.
The role saw him patiently tolerate her ham-fisted and invariably thwarted attempts at social climbing.
Off-screen he co-founded The Actors Centre, a meeting place for members of his profession in central London.
Image caption He went on to appear with Roger Lloyd Pack in The Old Guys
Born in Liverpool in 1936, he had three children with his ex-wife, the novelist Margaret Drabble.
Swift's many roles included a part in Alfred Hitchcock's 1972 film Frenzy and as King Arthur's adopted father in 1981 film Excalibur.
Many years later, he would play Hitchcock in a BBC radio play called Strangers on a Film.
Swift made a number of appearances in Doctor Who, most recently in the 2007 episode Voyage of the Damned.
According to his agent, the actor died at his home on Friday after a short illness, surrounded by his family.

One of the funniest things I heard was JH discussing BSE at the Hysteria AIDS benefit - when asked what questions you could ask to identify a brain diseased cow...
“Can I have my job back please, Margaret?”
Couldn’t find the sketch on YouTube
Matti Nykänen (1963-2019) worlds greatest skijumper all time with four olympic golds, six world championships and numeral other medals. He was also a popsinger and a media person. One of the greatest sport person in finland. His lifestyle was bit colourful. Six marriages with five different women. Alcohol was maybe too dominant
in his life and he event spent several months in jail after a fight where he stabbed a man. All in all he was somehow
very likeable person and was very popular until his unexpected death monday 3th of february.

Sad news ex ranger Matthew brazier died today, been suffering from non-Hodgkin follicular lymphoma, only 42 & remember his playing days with us, R.I.P
That's awful news, far too young. RIP Matthew...
RIP Matti
Regardless of sport one of the greatest. Exceptional performer in a sport of fine margins. And winning all three ski jumping gold in one olympic during Calgary '88 still stands as one of the greatest achievements in sport.

Exceptional performer indeed. Matti was one of a kind in everything he did. He lived full life and done many things he might have regret but his skijumper career was sheer brilliance. I still remember foggy holmenkollen day, when young 18 year eagle just flied out from that fog to land on to his first world championship. Great man
