@HarrietSergeant Hi Harriet You or her Mum (as she won't have been allowed to come here on her own) should probably tell her about Article 44 of the Ukrainian Constitution that allows for strikes. So no idea why she would be surprised that striking is allowed in England.

@ClosetedGray @desertcran @SwannMarcus89 Russia went into Ukraine, killed a load of citizens, sexually abused the women, and killed the children. Hamas went into Israel, killed a load of citizens, sexually abused the women, and killed the children. If you can't understand the similarity in those things that's on you.

Everyone should let British Jews know they are not alone - both in calling for the protection of Israel and for calling out Tommy Robinson and his ilk from being anywhere near this. The Jewish community should not and does not welcome Tommy Robinson.

What a great looking event. No Ukrainians, no diaspora, and no-one who fled the war. But there is a former member of the communist party, whose symbol is banned in Ukraine, so there's that. And the guy who suggested giving weapons to Ukraine would prolong the war.
