@Priceless_MCI He's not amazing but they should trust Ramos, a perfectly capable striker who would be surrounded by world class players. Seems alright to me
Aymeric Laporte on his time with #ManCity in the Champions League: “Against Tottenham, we lost because of the hand of [Fernando] Llorente. The year after, first game against them. I flicked to Gabriel Jesus, it hit my head and my hand, VAR said handball. Who can say this one is handball and last year we lost the Champions League because of this? They are killing me.
“So many injustices. I swear, every year, we were in the same situation. We missed the penalty against Tottenham, [Sergio] Aguero, and after they scored with the hand. Against Liverpool, offsides, no offside. Small details.
“We could’ve won the same as the Premier League… in six years we could’ve won five Champions Leagues. Stupid mistakes… I’m losing my mind. It’s always, ‘Arrghhh’… It’s trauma, no? These kinds of games…” [via @SamLee]

Very easy to hate your Stephen Pollards and your Sarah Vines but ultimately they're on the same intellectual level as Tommy Robinson supporters and can't help themselves. It's people like Lewis who are smart enough to know exactly what they're doing who I truly despise
‘You would compare what’s happening in Gaza to the Holocaust?’
@lewis_goodall rejects Hasan Piker's ‘crass and offensive’ comments comparing Jews to Nazis.
Wild that Lewis repeats the lie that Hamas executes gay people, only to wheel it back to a ten year prison sentence after being challenged. Like, why lie lmao. How long it’s been and how ignorant commentariat is of the reality is staggering.
LBC's Lewis Goodall goes on an unhinged tirade in which he conflates Palestinians with ISIS and attempts to argue that discrimination against the LGBT community is somehow worse than those same people being bombed and starved to death. 🥴
They seem to have cut out and/or muted a lot of Hasan's responses but they left in so much of Lewis just being a total psycho lmao x.com/KweenInYellow/…
Hasan Piker gets LBC's Lewis Goodall to admit he values Jewish lives a thousand times as much as he values Palestinian lives: "I would draw a moral equivalence between those acts." 👀
Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.
Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.
Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."
Free Marwan.

What the hell is @ZackPolanski doing wearing a shirt to free the Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti who murdered 5 civilians. This is TOO FAR.

@dai_alectic Yeah would be appreciated, I realise it also turns out the Kirpan wasn't used in the attack but I don't really think that changes what has otherwise been said
Re the Kirpan. During the big multiculturalism debates in the 2000s (which now seem quaint), Brian Barry systematically dismantled the idea of differentiated group rights; yet despite (imo) being demolished by Barry, Parekh’s ideas went on to shape British society & institutions
🚨 NEW: The Government is being advised to ban NHS staff from wearing political badges to stop antisemitism
The antisemitism adviser said: “I don’t expect my dentist to be wearing an ‘I love Palestine’ badge, or indeed an ‘I love Israel’ badge, on their uniform”
The Henry Nowak thing. If you watch the video, before Nowak complains of being unable to breathe and having been stabbed, the one police officer notes that "he has a mouthful of blood". Now when a person with a mouthful of blood starts complaining that they can't breathe and that they have been stabbed, alarm bells should be starting to go off. Then, a few moments later a policewoman requests an ambulance saying "His pupils aren't even reacting". By that point anyone with any bit of sense would surely have realised that there was a very serious problem. Now these same officers, apparently having been bereft of anything approaching basic common sense, are blaming their DEI training.
