#C4News cover the vigil for Jason Arday in Trafalgar Square, London
Lord Simon Woolley, Principal of Homerton College, Cambridge, "This time last week I was with Jason, because we knew Jason was suffering, we knew he felt hounded by those rabid wolves"
"Jason wouldn't dare leave the house, and we said we'll get a taxi for you. We held him in our arms and told him he was loved"
"He held Dianne Abbott's hands and he said: I love you. Then he said, "They're hounding me to death, and I cannot see a way out"
Diane Abbott, "He was first appointed as a professor in Cambridge three years ago"
"And for those three years he had a vicious campaign, a bitter campaign, by anonymous people, by other professors, who just didn't believe that a black man should be a Cambridge professor"
One of his students, "His greatest contribution cannot be found in a palpitation, a title or a citation, nor in his talks"
"It is found in people who continue to love him, in the lives he changed, and the confidence gave us and the doors that he fought to hold open behind him"
Bell Ribeiro-Addy, "The public cruelty Jason was subjected to was too much for any man to bear"
"The outpouring or love, support and grief since his death means so much to us"
"Although it is bittersweet, kindness is needed in life, not just in death"
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "If you could change the world in any way, how would you change it?"
Professor Jason Arday, "I would take a thread and a needle and I would interweave love into our society."
"I think the absence of love in our society is absolutely palpable."
"I feel the empathy we have for one another, the tolerance for one another, has completely eroded"
"There is so much anger in society, and I often think what would one replace that with?"
"If I could change the world, I would have the world spin on an axis of love"

Reform UK's Robert Jenrick, is clearly determined to out‑idiot Lee Anderson's Calais adventure, with a skit straight out of Brass Eye.
With a straight face, he invites us not to laugh as he recounts his heroic struggle to “get a haircut”, a tale involving the previous owner of the shop who was, apparently, “allergic to hair” and later “found in a container of bananas with £1 million of cocaine.”
It's Sarah Pochin's turn next, God help us. 😂

Due settimane prima che oltre 60.000 migranti attraversassero il confine dal Marocco a Ceuta, in Spagna, i repubblicani 🇺🇸 della Camera dei Rappresentanti hanno versato 40 MILIONI di dollari al regime marocchino.
TUTTI i repubblicani della Camera (ad eccezione di @RepThomasMassie) hanno votato a favore degli aiuti militari al Marocco.
La commissione parlamentare descriveva Ceuta e Melilla come città amministrate dalla Spagna “situate in territorio marocchino” e ne metteva in discussione lo status.
Subito dopo il Marocco ha allentato completamente i controlli alle frontiere.
Secondo i Media spagnoli: identificati agenti dei servizi segreti marocchini tra i migranti di Ceuta.
Una “ONG” Israeliana aiuta migranti ad entrare in Europa... Perché? 👇🏽
Trump e Netanyahu hanno minacciato la Spagna…e ora strumentalizzano la crisi di Ceuta che loro stessi hanno creato.

Kirandeep Kaur, a 24-year-old mother, was brutally stabbed to death this week in Hayes by 44-year-old Daniel Sean James.
Where are the marches in the streets? The politicians calling for "cold rage"? The solemn apologies and statements from community leaders to her family?

The time I met @PublicEnemyFTP in McDonald’s on Shepherds Bush Green in 87! We’d just seen them playing a Def Jam gig so went in & said hello & the next thing I know we’re rapping with them & Professor Griff is beatboxing! The restaurant manager wasn’t so keen & kicked us out! 🤣

Israeli forces detained 5 Palestinian kids - at the request of Israeli settlers. Their crime? Gathering wild vegetables.
The young boy who tries to save his friend at 0:15 shows more courage than the entire international community.
Shame on all of us.

Feels increasingly like a return to the October 6 state of affairs; Gaza blockaded, besieged, and choked off, with Palestinians killed with impunity. Only now, confined to a fraction of the land and living in apocalyptic conditions.
But the world’s gaze is elsewhere.

BREAKING! “Ceasefire”, in Israel’s dictionary: you cease, I fire.
Just hours after the deal - as in January - Israel shoots at Palestinians waiting to return home.
Before any next step, member states must ensure that Israel honours the ceasefire.

Fuck off
Aid organizations report that thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of starvation while trucks full of food sit waiting across the border.
The full flow of humanitarian assistance must be restored immediately.
