“AXA sold its shares from 🇮🇱 Discount Bank & Bank Leumi that finance 🇮🇱’s illegal settlements, but still owns shares worth $2.6 million in Bank Hapoalim, one of the largest 🇮🇱 commercial banks blocklisted by the UN for financing Israel’s illegal settlement..” Disgusting, @LFC.

Moore, here we go again, it’s the same X post, just rehashed. the hypocrisy continues ffs. You talk endlessly about “equality”, “respect” and “inclusion”, yet the moment nationalists exercise equality by saying NO, suddenly they’re the obstacle to an equal society, can’t you see the hypocrisy here, you might need to google it Your rhetoric would have fitted remarkably comfortably into the politics of the 1970s and 1980s , an era when NI was still struggling to escape institutional discrimination, major inequalities and the assumption that nationalist aspirations could simply be subordinated to the preferences of the unionist majority. Is that the NI you want back?I lived through that one and it wasent pleasant I can tell you that Because equality isn’t nationalism knowing its place. Equality isn’t “we’ll respect your identity provided it never inconveniences ours”. And equality certainly isn’t one tradition having an automatic entitlement to march wherever it wishes while the people living there are expected to shut up and accept it. The Good Friday Agreement moved us towards something fundamentally different, parity of esteem and equal treatment for British and Irish identities. So spare us the lectures about an “Ireland of Equals” until you’re prepared to demonstrate something much more immediate,A feckin’ NI of equals. Nationalists are no longer second-class participants who need permission to object. Their identity, culture, political aspirations and communities carry exactly the same legitimacy as yours. That’s not supremacy, Moore. That’s equality, and perhaps equality only feels like discrimination when you’ve become accustomed to having the upper hand.

Being called "woke" in a world that can sleep through other people's suffering, isn't an insult. - Pope Leo XIV I fucking respect that.

The quote attributed to Pope Leo XIV is fabricated and never said by him; it originated as an AI-assisted invention admitted by its creator and appears in no official Vatican sources or speeches. snopes.com/fact-check/pop… fullfact.org/world/pope-leo… vaticannews.va/en/search.html… press.vatican.va/content/salast…

Jamie, are you seriously lecturing an entire community about “supremacism” and being “above the law”? It would be hilarious if the rhetoric weren’t so poisonous for Christs sake You were convicted of possessing an extendable baton and later convicted over FOUR unnotified processions, convictions you unsuccessfully appealed. Yet apparently Jamie has appointed himself NI’s very own Professor of Law and Order Then we get the sermon about “hatred” from someone with an astonishing blind spot when the terrorism happens to be loyalist. You have defended the proposition that the UVF were not terrorists, characterised loyalist paramilitary violence as “counter terrorism”, and repeatedly attended a commemoration for UVF commander Robert “Squeak” Seymour. I am sure the victims and families of UVF terroism would welcome knowing that the UVF were engaged in “counter terrorism” rather than terrorism That’s quite the CV from which to deliver lectures on extremism. And what exactly is this supposed “nationalist supremacism”? Nationalists having equal political power? Residents saying no? Unionism discovering that “we demand it” no longer automatically means “we get it”? That’s not supremacy, Jamie. That’s equality The giveaway is always the same, when unionism doesn’t get precisely what it wants, you portray compromise as surrender, equality as persecution and nationalism as some existential threat. Perhaps the problem isn’t that “unionism must give and nationalism must get”. Perhaps it’s that the old days when unionism could simply dictate and nationalism was expected to know its place are gone. Nobody gets to dominate NI anymore. And if equality feels like oppression, perhaps examine the sense of entitlement rather than screaming “supremacism” at everyone else. A convicted lawbreaker with a remarkable penchant for sanitising the UVF preaching about the rule of law and nationalist “hatred” isn’t political analysis. It’s self-parody.

I have no doubt the UAE are trying to exert pressure but also it suits Labour for it to be in the public domain, and for them to be seen to stand firm, after Burnham's gaffe (many such cases).

The Harvey Chronicles-Post 3 Between the age of 6.5-7.5ish Harvey started dropping a lot of weight. At 7 years and 8 months old, he weighed less than 15 kilos. That’s less than our almost 4 year old now weighs. During this time he was in and out of hospital with his breathing issues and pneumonias. Despite being in regularly and always being weighed, they never flagged his weight loss. Nobody in the hospital escalated this and looked to address is. @Stephen63224725 had to insist they come up with a plan to address it. Harvey didn’t really ‘eat’ food. He relied on a prescription formula that he drank to meet his nutritional requirements. He had at the time a prescription for around 30 tins a month. This was needed to meet his requirements for growth. Did you know, that @HSELive don’t actually care what the prescription says and instead have a cap on how many you can order a month? Despite Harvey’s needs, the limit was 20 tins a month. This had to be challenged and they did then allow 45 a month so that we could give him a concentrated version for weight gain. Look how his weight climbed once he was no longer being deprived of his food. #JusticeForHarvey

Last night I flipped my car at 90 mph. We all got out covered in blood, but we don't have a scratch on us. Weirdly a cup of water was still in the holder and hadn't spilled a drop. We immediately ran to Netanyahu and hugged him in front of cameras before we got cleaned up 👍

I support the residents of Garvaghy Road. I support their right to protest peacefully. I have no problem with the FM breaking the law in a non violent act of protest to support those who live on that road. I am a unionist and a Protestant. I will die a unionist but there are many

The pilot in the CNN OutFront clip is Aaron Murphy, a commercial pilot and flight instructor. He is sitting in a flight simulator recreating the Flydubai FZ1073 incident so viewers can see what the cockpit and the aircraft itself would have looked like during the sudden dive.⁠@CNN Murphy’s point at the end of the segment is that the dive was not just violent to sit through — it was close to structurally unsurvivable. In the simulator, the horizon drops away, the jet pitches steeply nose-down, and overspeed warnings start screaming as the aircraft accelerates through the plunge. His conclusion is blunt: a descent that steep and that fast would have torn the airplane apart. #Flydubai #FZ1073 #CaptainSmitMachchhar #IndianPilot
Thread🧵 1/ Yesterday’s Flydubai flight FZ1073, a 737 MAX from Dubai to Tel Aviv, was in cruise near 34,000 feet when it went into a steep nose-down dive. Tracking data show a drop on the order of 14,000 feet in about 30 seconds, with groundspeed rising toward 600 knots before the airplane recovered and diverted to Tabuk. That was not a normal descent. It was a plunge.

Answering the question below 👇 If the money was sourced from ADUG, then it is either equity (so none of it should count towards revenue) or it makes the transactions Related Party ones (RPTs) and then only the “Fair Market Value” (FMV) should be counted as revenue. All of it was though, artificially making it easier to pass PSR. This is what the Commission found as fact. If the money had come from central govt. then nothing breaches the rules unless the sponsors are deemed Related Parties and then again, only the FMV should count towards revenue. If the Commission had found that the money came from central govt. and not ADUG… AND had not found the sponsors and Man City to be Related Parties… then the most serious charges would not have been proven. This is effectively the defence that Man City used at CAS. At CAS, there were only SIX redacted emails in evidence. Those emails were between Man City execs (CFO, COO, etc) over a number of years and they discussed ADUG specifically paying the sponsors. One was from the Board Director, Simon Pearce, but his name was redacted and so the CAS Panel did not know that. As a witness, Simon Pearce explained the emails as the execs being “confused”. That they thought the funds were coming from ADUG but they were “mistaken”. 2/3 CAS arbitrators accepted this explanation because the execs alone could not have enacted the scheme. They would have needed Pearce to do it and he denied it. There was no evidence to contradict Pearce. The issue Man City had at the Independent Commission is that the Premier League had a lot more than 6 redacted emails in evidence. They had hundreds if not thousands of email chains specifically explaining that the money was coming from ADUG, including emails from Simon Pearce. They had emails that showed payments from ADUG, including members of the UAE Govt confirming they controlled the accounts and were making payments on Man City’s behalf. They even had transaction data showing payments from ADUG accounts. Not to sponsors but to staff. But proving fraud on one charge makes it much easier to prove fraud in another charge when it comes to English civil law. The senders of these many emails had no reason to lie in them. And what’s more, there were too many over too many years, involving too many people in the know for there to be any possibility of a mistake. And so there is no reason to doubt them. So for Man City to come along and try the argument that they made “false assumptions” about where the money was coming from… it’s ludicrous. Absurd. And quite frankly, I’m amazed their legal team was prepared to argue it.
Genuine question: why does it matter where the money came from?
