There’s no rape I can’t excuse if the victim is a Jew. https://t.co/3PG4L5JYgv — Simon Myerson KC 🏷️ (@SCynic1) March 30, 2024 A deranged New Yorker says that young women like Shani Louk deserved to be kidnapped, raped and murdered for attending a music festival inside Israel's internationally recognised 1948 borders. 

Sound on. You can thank me later. https://t.co/n42oA7YpmB — 🦕Ermine aka Stoat 🟥 Courage is contagious 🟥 🦖 (@StoatlyL) March 30, 2024 A rubber chicken brings joy to an adorable donkey - a match made in heaven.

When the @metpoliceuk refuse to arrest Hamas supporters with a swastika sign today in London one officer told a girl that swastikas disturbing public order “depends on context” If you’re holding a sign with a swastika at an anti-Israel march — this is blatantly antisemitic. Come… pic.twitter.com/MjDNnHomnv — Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر (@emilykschrader) March 30, 2024 A Met police officer tries to explain how a Nazi swastika is not antisemitic - depending on the context.  Now logically this must be true, in the context of a museum for example, but on a march where people openly support a terrorist organisation like Hamas and chant anti-Jewish slogans?  Meanwhile in another part of London the Met police arrest a man for holding a placard which says Hamas is a terrorist organisation - a statement of fact, of course.   . @metpoliceuk have arrested the guy with the Hamas are terrorists sign again. They are genuinely supporting terrorism now. I have no faith in a single

Maggie Chapman and I on the same page. Literally if not figuratively 😂 pic.twitter.com/F5TtEBGVt6 — Susan Dalgety (@DalgetySusan) March 30, 2024 Susan Dalgety's is spot on - t he most obvious absurdity of the Clypes Charter is that its supposed ‘protections’ do not even extend to women - more than half the population.   Meanwhile Maggie Chapman from the Green/SNP alliance wants Holyrood to allow young children, as young as only 8, to change their gender!

So beautiful 😍 https://t.co/wmNy4Hrs1B — Heather (@Heatherthefair) March 30, 2024 Great video of an extremely rare bird feeding its offspring. 

The person who took this photo was part of the jihadist gang who murdered, tortured and raped civilians. The family didn’t want her remembered like this. This award celebrates her continued desecration. Her name was Shani Louk pic.twitter.com/n6epjfE6lN — Alex Hearn (@hearnimator) March 28, 2024 The most shocking thing about this photo by Ali Mahmud is that it is not being used to bring sadistic murderers, rapists and kidnappers to justice. Instead it is being used to hail Hamas and the behaviour of misogynists - sadistic men who are celebrated in Gaza as 'freedom fighters'.  

Alex Salmond nominates Humza's Hate Monster for a Plank Of The Week Award 📺 pic.twitter.com/SkmXU4mkIA — Biology Rules Ok (@OkayBiology) March 29, 2024 Alex Salmond's comment on Humza's Hate Monster reminded me of the old 1960s movie called The Plank - a Laurel and Hardy-style slapstick number starring Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper.  Slapstick is what the SNP does best these days. 

This is hilarious but “this is just for fat-BODIED people” is soooo revealing… https://t.co/K720AOGyby — Gill, womb haulier and gorgon 🇮🇱🐍 (@Gillian_Philip) March 30, 2024 A Skinny Malinky bloke gets thrown out of a 'Queer Fat Club' because the other members reject self-ID and insist on believing the evidence of their own eyes and ears. First rule of Queer Fat Club - self-ID is baloney. Second rule of Queer Fat Club - irony is not dead.

I can't decide which is funnier - Nicola Sturgeon presenting an award to a Campervan company or Nicola receiving an award for being a celebrity trans ally.

At a visit to a soft play centre, the FM said “if you’re thinking about making a complaint and there’s no merit in that… the police will take that serious in terms of tackling vexatious complaints”. This is inconsistent with the NCHI policy. https://t.co/6lwSSF7G54 — Dr Kath Murray (@kathmurray1) March 30, 2024 Here's yet another example of Humza Yousaf 'winging it' - not knowing what he's talking about and just making things up as he goes along.  #AprilHumzaDay pic.twitter.com/R0A9eUvzNc — Archie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@NZblanc) March 30, 2024  

Responsible dog ownership! pic.twitter.com/Qsj2rHPDFb — Preston Henshaw (@PrestonHenshawX) March 30, 2024 Does this help explain the fashion for smaller dog breeds these days?  

Defiant Michael Matheson refuses to resign as MSP despite breaching code of conduct https://t.co/TjQSUYWELh — The Herald (@heraldscotland) March 26, 2024 Humza Yousaf would have people believe that nationalist politicians are more trustworthy, honest and upstanding than their rivals - simply by virtue of being paid up members of the SNP.   Complete baloney - of course. If Matheson had been a Westminster MP, he would be the subject of a recall petition by now - and out on his ear after lying to the public and the Scottish Parliament.  I think it's fair to say Morocco Mike has no integrity and that Humza Yousaf is a weak, indecisive leader

One of the main reasons Glasgow has such a big litter problem is that the city's politicians don't take the issue seriously - astonishingly some insist all the city needs is a wee 'spruce up'! For example, the c ouncil encourages citizens to phone a special hotline to bring Dumb Dumpers to book, but if a public spirited citizen actually calls 0845 230 4090 a-  recorded message says you've dialled 'an incorrect number'. I reported this farcical situation to the SNP led City Council two years ago. Glasgow City Council - You Cannot Be Serious! ( November 18, 2022 ) Glasgow City Council's 'Dumb Dumper's hotline (0845 230 4090) for reporting fly-tipping is still not operating several months after I first shared the news on my blog. I also reported the non-existent hotline to my local Glasgow councillors - on which more to follow soon. But what does this say about how seriously the Council is taking the issue? Dumb Dumpers, Dumb Hotlines and Glasgow Co

Spring has definitely sprung in Kelvingrove Park and the sun is out today which makes a nice change!

“Bill aims to protect the most vulnerable groups in Irish society” ‘Vulnerable groups’ like these lads…. https://t.co/Ml5ylperJr pic.twitter.com/jK7lvesBkL — The Women Exist Society (@WomensSocIre) March 26, 2024 The big thing that's happened in the sex v gender debate over the past few years is that no one now believes trans activists are vulnerable, marginalised and oppressed. Most people, for good reason, think the trans lobby is made up of angry, intolerant, often violent men who would if they could silence and shout women down.   

The SNP promised a free laptop to every pupil in Scotland in their 2021 manifesto. Years later, and after cutting the funding last year, the government has now abandoned that pledge. pic.twitter.com/zcAsKdf0LQ — Willie Rennie (@willie_rennie) March 21, 2024 Another baloney 'one size fits all' policy from the alliance between the SNP and Greens has had to be abandoned because of the cost and stupidity involved.   See post below from 2021. Another Ridiculous 'One Size Fits All' Policy (29/03/21) Another wasteful 'one size fits all' policy from the SNP even though most children and young people have had their own tablets or laptops for years.  Closing the gap in education means putting more and better resources into those lagging behind instead of pretending that everyone needs the same leg up. After 14 years in power and a year into Covid lockdown this just smacks of another election gimmick.

I'm not religious, but that doesn't stop me enjoying songs and music with a religious theme. Including this track from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Into My Arms - which features in the soundtrack of the 'After Life' series from Ricky Gervais.  

A male photographer took a photo of a group of armed men transporting the body of a murdered woman. And in a depraved moral universe, it won a prize. Outrage as picture showing body of murdered hostage Shani Louk wins competition - The Jewish Chronicle https://t.co/MdajXmTCtl — Joan Smith (@polblonde) March 29, 2024 A group of heavily armed men paraded the body of a young Israeli woman, Shani Louk, who was kidnapped in Israel on October 7 before being raped, sexually abused and brutally murdered by Hamas 'freedom fighters'. Yet this photo won an international prize instead of being condemned as shameful, hateful misogyny.   This is how Shani Louk's family asked for her to be remembered. Smiling and alive. The biggest photojournalism competition in the world decided to trample on the family's wishes in favor of giving a photo of Shani's mutilated body a prestigious award. She wasn't even named in… pic.twitter.com/y4L4R35bdA — Hen Mazzig (@HenMazzig) March 28

This has absolutely zero relationship to a freedom movement. This is simply a racist mob shouting abuse at Jews. Mocking, taunting and humiliating. Piling trauma onto trauma. And just listen to the joy they take https://t.co/Hv2nWVjGKg — Alex Hearn (@hearnimator) March 28, 2024 Protesters at a school board meeting shout down a mother raising concerns about the antisemitic bullying of her son. I suppose they just helped prove her point.  

Researcher at Duke University made a baby, who cannot consent, ‘breastfeed’ from a man so that the 50 yr old man can be ‘affirmed’ & have his ‘breasts’ matured How is this not child abuse? https://t.co/smUcYIvV9v pic.twitter.com/rM9RcsQshG — The Women Exist Society (@WomensSocIre) March 29, 2024 Astonishing - t he lengths trans crazies will go to to satisfy a bizarre sexual fetish which, of course, has nothing to do with the needs or the health of a young baby!  Breastfeeding grand dad anyone? 😱🤢 https://t.co/ZkqF3J1rYs — Jeeeezasaurus KPSS (@Jeeeez17) March 28, 2024
