The article fails to ask or suggest WHY?

 

 It's Scotland on Bonfire night, we don't need any more reason to have a good ol' tear up.

The often-repeated social media rumour made across the world claims pupils identify as cats.

Think we'd have to go right back to the source for that one Sime, suspect the original story started as a half story made into something by some UK papers who are renowned for giving all the facts. After it is in a newspaper it is true of course

Far-right groups and football hooligans ‘to descend on London during Palestine march’

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

---

The most prominent far-right messaging has come from former leader of the English Defence League Tommy Robinson

It's looking increasing likely that the fash are going to cause trouble at tomorrow's peace march having been stirred up by the usual right-wing hate mob; which is pretty distasteful given that it's Armistice Day which is supposed to be all about peace.

Interested to see a comment on Question Time last night that the Palestinian march is going nowhere near the Centopath, and yet..... some press would have had you believe they were going to barge the King out of the way, and that is why Tommy Robinson is getting involved. If the story had been all about Armistice day with a side story about this march then all would be peaceful - got to lay some of the blame on the right wing press.

Well it would do no harm for some of those bleeding heart protesting  liberals, nevermind the murderous minded militant Palestinians and Muslims. 

To experience some of the fear and terror they daily subject those of the Jewish faith to suffer. In Israel and worldwide, including London.

Bring it on.

Btw.

We, of the non Nationalist/Republican majority here in NI knew and still know all to well the insidious propaganda the BBC propagate.

To simplify, and paraphrase somewhat, "devout Catholics" but "hard-line Protestants".

Etc etc etc.

Drip drip drip.

I'd love to be the journalist making that phone call "Hello High School, can I talk to the head teacher? Yes, sure it is about cat litter. Ahh, head teacher, can you confirm that you supply cat litter for pupils who identify as cats? No? What about trees for those who are dogs? No? a tank for the mermaid ones - what do you call them? No?" I bet I could phone any school and they will deny that LITTER BOXES are PROVIDED for the STUDENTS.

 

Curious use of capital letters..... Capitalise on the rage of those who skim read the headlines as they pass the newsagent in the morning

There are plenty of valuable parallels to be drawn from the Good Friday peace process that might be applied to Braverman’s...
