Truly bonkers stuff. Salman Rushdie was attacked by an Islamo-fascist assassin. He lost an eye, was stabbed 10 times, including damage to his liver. Still suffers to this day. How is this remotely comparable to Sally Rooney not being allowed sell books?
If you ever sought out the novels of Sally Rooney in bookshops – when that was still possible – you’d know they sit in the fiction stacks adjacent to the novels of another SR whose books have been withdrawn in dastardly political circumstances. Until last week, “Rooney” and “Rushdie” had little in common beyond being shelfmates; now they have more than just a physical proximity.

The most iconic and representative vid of the last three years.
Palestinianism in the West is nothing but violence, hatred and destruction.

Tusk leading the way.
Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.

WHAT MAKES A HERO????
Reuters: Do you miss being an actor?
Zelenskyy: I miss being a good father.
What did you tell your children when they were young?
I love you.
And now, when they’ve grown up?
I miss you
Are you a hero?
No.
So who is your hero?
My children, our army, and the Ukrainian people. I am part of our nation. I think our nation is absolutely heroic.

Korl lost his job in the Telegraph canteen, undercooking eggs and lots of stomach problems for the big wigs at the paper. He's pissed ever since as he has to pay for his own breakfast now.
Poor Korl.
Is that just fancy speak for 'Karl?'
The irony of this lad coming to white knight for an Israeli pretending to be Irish because I established the fact that the Telegraph is a disreputable rag seems to be lost on him, apparently 😂
And yes, you are a little rat 🙂

4, maybe 6 Russian bombers destroyed by Ukraine over night. These planes deliver the glide bombs that terrify Ukrainians near the front lines. A great response by Ukraine to the treachery of the Trump administration.
Newly released overhead showing the aftermath of Ukraine’s overnight cruise missile strike on Russia’s Borisoglebsk Airbase.
At least one missile slammed into a group of Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers loaded for strike missions, causing catastrophic damage.

The Herbert Park Hotel was “honoured to host” Saudi National Day last month. Saudi is a total autocracy ranked as the world’s most authoritarian regime. It operates under Sharia Law, routinely exterminates political opponents, executes dissidents, murders journalists, tortures prisoners, ruthlessly suppresses women, outlaws homosexuality & practices what Amnesty describes as a slave trade of millions of migrants.
The same hotel that so warmly welcomed the world’s most abusive Islamic regime then refused to host delegates attending an international conference on combating antisemitism.
🤔🤔🤔
Please bear with this slightly long post because it is one hell of an illustration of Israel-derangement syndrome in Ireland. An international conference of 'Special Envoys & Coordinators Combating Antisemitism' is currently taking place in Ireland. There was a reception for delegates this evening at the Department of Foreign Affairs. Maurice Cohen of the Irish Jewish Representative Council told the delegates and other guests that he had booked 70 rooms at the Herbert Park Hotel for delegates. But once the hotel discovered what the event was for, they cancelled the booking asking if the conference had a connection to the IDF. (It doesn't, and what a bizarre question to ask). How deeply ironic that this should happen to delegates attending a conference dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism. What this does say about today's Ireland? Nothing good. This story is eminently newsworthy. Journalists should contact Maurice Cohen. (The hotel should be sued). @Alan__Shatter @abrahamson_ed @RachelMoiselle

US is now officially on the side of Russia and Putin.
Last night, Ukraine 🇺🇦 suffered from a large restriction access to Starlink, which speed was limited to 160km/h and later to 70km/h
This action taken by Elon Musk or the Pentagon 🇺🇸 puts an end to mid-range strikes against Russian 🇷🇺 logistics in occupied territories and to the interception of Russian Geran-2/4/5 drones by interceptors.
Long-range strikes remain unaffected, as they do not rely on Starlink, and the same applies to FPV strikes. Nevertheless, this is a free boost for the Kremlin, handed to them on a silver platter by the United States.
For several days, Ukraine has been observing a ceasefire regarding Russian energy targets, whereas Russia has not, having struck at least 26 targets overnight. It will take a few hours for an official reaction from the United States to emerge.
This move sets a serious precedent that will influence the decision of many states regarding the use of Starlink, in Europe and Asia, since the US don't seem to be a reliable partener anymore at all.

When he is rejected and betrayed by those once called friends. When allies grow weary, politicians negotiate, and some are already poised to shake the hand of the executioner. When his life and the life of his country are daily targets for rockets, drones, bombs, and lies. I have no idea how this man has endured all this. And continues to endure it.
He does not look like a movie hero. He looks like a man who hasn't slept in years. He has been cast aside. With eyes burning for the homes of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Odesa. With eyes that see all of Ukraine. He asks for no pity. He courageously asks for weapons. He does not flee. He stands his ground and bares his chest. When offered evacuation, he says: "I need ammunition, not a taxi." And this is not just a catchy phrase. It is a choice proven over years. Every day. Every night. Right now.
He has been betrayed and continues to be betrayed. He has been underestimated and continues to be underestimated. He has been insulted and continues to be insulted. He has been put to the test and continues to be put to the test. And he stands tall. In the shadow of ruined cities. With weary soldiers. In the shadow of a world that is also weary—a world that wants to forget this war in Ukraine and think of something that causes no suffering or stress, something pleasant. Yet he reminds everyone. He speaks to people as if holding their hands. And there is something in that which brings a lump to one's throat.
In all my life, I have never admired any public figure more than him. And I think, perhaps, I never will again. Because such admiration is not about politics. It is about a man who, when everything is falling apart, does not ask "Why me?" but—like a knight—does what must be done. I am certain he will stand firm, even if it costs him his life. Even if all his friends leave. Even if the whole world turns its back on him. He will not betray his principles.
The entire world respects him—not because he is perfect, but because he is the strongest of them all, because he has raised the banner of the highest values: human dignity, freedom, and democracy. And all of Ukraine stands with him—weary and wounded, yet unbowed. Perhaps in the future, you will vote for someone else in the presidential election. That is your right. But today, let us respect him. We have a president who deserves respect and of whom we need not be ashamed. May he have strength and patience.
Volodymyr Oleksandrovych deserves kind words and every form of support today. So let us give it to him—it is our duty!
