I'm probably in a minority here, as people don't seem to like him [no doubt for legitimate reasons], but quite a fan of Dawid Malan on comms. V thoughtful
For the love of god turn off the Hundred commentator microphones. Surely this has got to be against everyone's human rights or something
I actually can't believe this Joshua Bonehill-Paine story. I was at Jewish News as a journalist when he was in his Nazi pomp, sending harassing messages to Luciana Berger, and other Jewish public figures. How has Kemi Badenoch chosen this hill to die on, it's absolutely insane
Craig Overton must be one of the best fielders in the country? #TheHundred
Never been a big fan of Sam Billings, as a person, but impressed with his restraint. He's keeping in #TheHundred, and the commentators are in his ear every bloody ball asking him questions. I would have either pulled out the earpiece, pretended the mic/earpiece was broken or told them to buzz off..
Sonny Baker really is a bit frustrating. Obviously all the talent and ability in the world, but just can't keep it simple. Surely at his stage of career, he should just being trying to do the basics really well, get into a good groove..
"Mr Polanski, will you say sorry for saying a Nazi shouldn't be pushed out of public life" 'No, I will not say sorry' X18 on national tv
just had a horrific vision of the future in which Zack Polanski and Kemi Badenoch have a podcast and now I need a lie down
Hating Jews is now basically our political yardstick for toleration. Want to know the limits of free speech in the UK? Just be a neo-Nazi who decides to stand for the Tories, and you'll have everyone debating whether you can be a changed person.
Zack Polanski really is a fucking charlatan Joshua Bonehill-Paine was a neo-Nazi. He led a campaign of online harassment against Jewish public figures. It's absolutely OK to push Nazis out of public life. I'd argue it's also OK to push their enablers, too.
Another day, another low-scoring game in the Women's Hundred..
This was the original headline by the way. The Tories offering Jews a meeting with a neo-Nazi, who was jailed for harassing a Jewish MP. No Tories, the answer is not to make the Jews meet with the Nazi to see the light. It's for you to not select Nazis, and then double down.
This is so stupid, it actually hurts. If you're in a hospital, you don't really get to decide which doctor or nurse treats you. I know when I've needed treatment, the only thing I care about is that I am getting the best person. Literally don't care about background news.sky.com/story/nhs-st...

Today is a really good example of the shite state of our political discourse. The Tories pick a Nazi, then the leader defends it. The Greens have a conspiracy theorist running for its council. Two supposedly mainstream parties embracing the politics of extremism, because extremists shout the loudest
Kemi did say she wants candidates with conviction. I just didn’t realise she meant for burglary, assault, inciting racial hatred, malicious communications, and racially-aggravated harassment.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · yesterdayKemi Badenoch certainly seems to be advancing with her agenda to turn the Conservatives into Reform.
Kemi Badenoch last month: "We are recruiting serious people who understand common sense, can get stuff done and can unite the country...Candidate selection is... one of the first serious tests of whether the Conservative Party has actually learnt from defeat." www.jewishnews.co.uk/former-neo-n...

Re his employment tribunal thing, David Miller should be in prison for actively supporting proscribed organizations, and working for Iran. He literally went to the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, and was detained

Yesterday was working off about 2 hours sleep. My whole body was just not functioning. Felt like I do when I've accidental eaten gluten tbh, just massive brain fog, aching, exhaustion. Actually slept properly last night, and feel like a different person. Am so old
