An issue I have with #TheOdyssey is the film didn't feel like it was a film in the traditional sense. I think that chimes with how they advertised it - everything was a behind the scenes look at Nolan the director. It was all about him and his technique. The film was an...

...extension of that, in that it lacked emotion because it was all about creating an experience - like a piece of art/installation. Yes, beautifully crafted by a fantastic technician but cold as a result. Any emotional reaction to the film felt forced by the LOUD sound design.

“We will uphold the highest animal welfare standards”
But Labour’s first animal welfare policy in government? Making the illegal practice of handling chickens by their legs – legal.
Handling chickens by their legs causes fear, pain, and injury – and it’s currently banned. This law change would reverse vital protections.
📢 We must hold them to their word.

Jess Phillips is being an intellectual and literal coward here. There is no way on earth she would have any inhibitions naming the relevance and specificity of neo-Nazi ideology to a group of neo-Nazis that might heckle her. She wouldn’t bend over backwards to protect their beliefs and lay all the blame on them being men and silly. Yet here she knows full well that the men who heckled her are sectarian Islamists and that this Islamism is specific and relevant to the brand of misogyny, homophobia, bigotry and deeply reactionary, totalitarian intent that drives their bid to game democracy and subvert it through intimidation. She must have a deeply pathetic opinion of muslims if she thinks those who don’t subscribe to Islamism would somehow become radicalised or turn their backs on her if she called out bigotry that exists within the Muslim world and which draws its cues and traditions from a muslim milieu
I can’t decide who are worse: Labour luvvies waxing lyrical over Starmer’s 10minutes in office or pundits/fans doing the same for Southgate’s 8 years as England manager.

How much has the FA paid @GaryLineker and co to speak so positively about this abject performance?
Their reputations as pundits should be in the mud after this.

Thousands of people in the audience went absolutely crazy over this brilliant speech by Douglas Murray which includes a simple message to the Palestinian Muslims and the rest of the world: the Jews in Israel will defend themselves whether the Muslim-Arab world, the Western world, the UN and the ICC like it or not.
