Opinion | We are understandably fixated on faithless men, male violence, propaganda disseminated by hard men influencers and on rape and murder statistics. All that is real and disturbing. But it’s only part of the story 🖋

“You know what the difference is.” Here’s the source for the Farage quote that Yasmin Alibhai Brown

mentioned… on why his German wife was different to a hypothetical Romanian neighbour. 🚨 Just a reminder, this was *The Sun* calling out his racism.

Migrants can't answer back. They have no voice. So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue. In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess. That is what is really going on here.

Trump just said that both Israel & Iran “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.” He’s dead wrong. Netanyahu knows exactly what he’s doing. Netanyahu cannot afford a ceasefire… …any pause/calm and his ghosts (Gaza, corruption, bombing damage, costs, West Bank) will catch up with him.
