Very sorry to hear about the passing of Stephen Applebaum - a fine man and a terrific writer. If you're unfamiliar with the man and his passion for film, I can't recommend his Wicker Man book highly enough. #stephenapplebaum amazon.co.uk/Wicker-Man-Conv…

The Wicker Man: Conversations with Robin Hardy, Anthony Shaffer & Edward Woodward

The creators and star of The Wicker Man talk candidly about the ideas behind the 1973 film, its production, and how it survived attempts to bury it to become one of the greatest cult British films of...

One of the first supporters of my work passed away. Stephen Applebaum. I don’t have any words for it, I talked to him a few weeks ago when I found out his cancer was back. May his memory be a blessing.

Superb production of #Othello at @The_Globe yesterday, with Ken Nwosu outstanding. I didn’t think it would work in its updated Met setting, but it did.

When you write a tweet you NEVER know what reaction you're going to get, from good, to bad, to the absolutely batshit crazy. If you ever needed proof that you can't please all of the people, all of the time, these are some of my favourite reactions to tweets I've written. THREAD

Ah yes. That old “context” again. Seems to come up a lot lately.

Absolutely unmissable and important by @gabyhinsliff. Shame on those who have cast doubt on this utter horror theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Whatever your view of the Israel-Hamas war, rape is rape. To trivialise it is to diminish ourselves...

This isn’t some ghoulish competition, where any empathy shown to dead Israelis leaves less available for Palestinians, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The intellectual dishonesty in this series of tweets won't be unfamiliar to students of the Stalinist parties after WW2. Katyn? The Sling trials? Rajk? Never mind the hard evidence of atrocity let's consider the motive for presenting it, or some of the language used.

I also attended this screening and, as Giles says, the footage was distressing. It also confirmed my belief it should be passed to news organisations who can verify & report it independently as opposed to it being packaged by IDF and shown to influencers who can tweet afterwards.

Today marks the start of 16 Days of Activism aimed at ending violence against women & girls. As a woman, Mum, Cllr, friend, I get fed up of empty words and slogans in this arena. Governments globally need to step up to address how we do this.

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:

It’s all coming out in the open now. Hatred of Jews which has been simmering in people who kept quiet before, but who finally believe they have an excuse to let it boil over. Utterly horrifying.

I try to avoid criticising my former employer. I also support the freedom of opinion writers to write whatever they believe. But it is also my right to say: wow, this is intellectually, historically and morally bankrupt

Elderly woman before Hamas Elderly woman after Hamas And yet the narrative being pushed by @BBCNews @SkyNews is she was treated well. Despite her own statements entirely to the contrary & her husband still a hostage. You are watching modern Holocaust denial in real time.

The world didn't need to see images of those slaughtered by ISIS in the 2015 Paris terror attacks to believe the French government. The world didn't need to see images of those murdered by ISIS in the 2017 Barcelona attack to believe the Spanish government. But after 1,400 Israelis were raped, beheaded, burned, tortured, kidnapped, and murdered, Israel's government is still forced to hold a screening of raw footage of Hamas' crimes against humanity to the international press. And in case you were wondering, even this will not be enough.

All of us in the UK who are not Jewish - an immense, an overwhelming majority - have a responsibility in these troubled times to make our Jewish fellow-citizens feel valued & safe. A responsibility that clearly right now we are failing to meet. It shames the country.
