- Replying to @diedsuddenlySadly a healthy constituent of mine in her 40s died suddenly of a blood-clot a fortnight ago, the day after receiving the booster jab. Most concerning, but of course we must not ask questions. We must not question….Boris said a million jabs, and so be it, even if it kills us.
- I am proud of my co-religionists. #Satmar and #Chabad may have differences, but when it comes to Chesed (acts of kindness to strangers with no personal gain), we’re all on the same team. EXCLUSIVE: The Palestinian doctor stuck in Ukraine, Chabad helps out youtu.be/PmtrDNpOo_k
- SHAKING UP LOCAL POLITICS Somehow made the front page, with a full spread, in the UK-wide Jewish Tribune. Surreally, whilst shopping for groceries, I was stopped by a gentleman who asked me to autograph his copy! 😳 Now back to the huge pile of new casework. Fame has a price!
- Councillor shares 'life-changing experience' from medically-prescribed Cannabis as she hopes to break stigma
- I have proposed a motion for discussion 15 Nov at @SalfordCouncil to ensure that police et al are aware of the law regarding medicinal cannabis & the Equality Act. sccdemocracy.salford.gov.uk/mgAi.aspx?ID=5… @MedBudCIC @CannabisHnews @UKCanCouncil @ukmccs @CannPass @MedCanProject @Themedicalcann2
- I was honoured today by the Manchester @SatmarMCR community to present @salford_mayor with a framed certificate recognising the mutual respect the leader of Salford and the leader of Satmar have for each other. The certificate has been mounted on the wall in the Mayor's office.
- Are we, as a country, not ashamed that we’re using public funds to prosecute @philip_group for growing his own medicine, due to Nixon-era racist drug policies imported from the US, via the UN to the UK? Use the money to fund the NHS to pay for his prescription legally!
- Just boarded a plane to Athens. Chartered and paid for by a Jewish charity in NY. Their representatives were standing in the airport offering free flights. I'll update when we get to ATH. Still no idea how we'll get home from there, but at least we'll be out of missile range.
- Hmmm….. Imagine a diabetic not being allowed to bring his insulin in. Or a paraplegic denied access to his wheelchair..Story from a legal #MedicalCannabis patient on discrimination taking place in crown court after being called up for jury service. The court is supposedly trying to unlawfully stop a patient from bringing their prescribed medication on-site, this needs urgent review @HMCTSgovuk.
- We. Are. Home. Hoorah! The usual pile of bills and junkmail. Interestingly, an invitation to the @UKLabour conference last week (despite not being a member - I'm independent, unless I have a double). Oh. And the gas was switched off, so no heating or cooking. @cadentgashelp
- Great coverage from @NealkeelingMEN at @MENnewsdesk on the importance of this motion at @SalfordCouncil Full Council tomorrow to protect disability rights and ensure injustice and discrimination has no place in 2023.
- I spoke about the racist roots of prohibition and its role in Modern Slavery in @SalfordCouncil’s Full Council yesterday. “Reefer makes * think they're as good as white men. The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." medium.com/equityorg/reef…
00:00 - Replying to @matthabusby and @andrewellsonTime to take it up a level. Appeal it to the Upper Tribunal. Happy to discuss. DM me.
