Banning female athletes for having naturally high levels of testosterone is like banning basketball players for being too tall.- Neither do Gaza's adults.
- Irish Band ... criticising Israel ... in America? Sounds like a job for the British police.Irish band Kneecap is reportedly under investigation by UK police following their Coachella performance, where they demonstrated solidarity with the Palestinian people by displaying messages condemning Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
Readers added contextThis is unrelated to Coachella. At a gig in London a band member displayed a Hezbollah flag shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'. Hamas and Hezbollah are proscribed in the UK. It is an offence to express "an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation". news.sky.com/story/counter-… legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/11/… - Matt Lucas being cancelled for racism because of Great British Bake Off’s Mexican week’ is very ‘they got al Capone for Tax fraud’.
- You're not supposed to be admitting to this 😭 It was supposed to represent the pro-zionist sentiment of the silent majority in the west. Now it just looks like a failed spamming campaign.
- Anyone else concerned that treating the NHS like it's a charity is pretty fucking dangerous?
- *Thatcher* did this in the 80s because she felt the civilian casualties from Israeli operations in Lebanon were so unconscionable. Thatcher.Raising the question why the UK has not suspended all trade in arms with Israel given plausible grounds for genocide
- Last second of this is one of the best pay offs in a stand up routine I’ve seen in a while. He should just get a fringe show.
- It so so bizarre and disorientating living in a cultural moment of a resurgent, virulent red-scare anti-communism at a time when communism doesn’t exist anywhere in the world and the left in the west is completely irrelevant and crushed.
- I don't understand how I'm supposed to just go to sleep after seeing a decapitated child being pulled from a burning refugee camp.
- Legal note: Rosa Parks was *not* arrested for refusing to move from her seat. She broke Chapter 6, Section 11 of the segregation law of the Montgomery City code.Legal note: Nobody is “in prison for demanding an end to new oil and gas”. Literally nobody. Throwing paint over historic artworks does not make you “a prisoner of conscience”. It just makes you guilty of criminal damage.
- Really feel for the people of Southport who are dealing with the most horrendous, traumatic event in living memory and now have to contend with a bunch of bused-in coke heads who have decided to start a race riot.
