I wrote an article for this month’s @prospect_uk - is a quite personal account of the best part of a year I have spent tweeting about antismetiism. Have tried to be reflective and constructive, and apply some human rights thinking to it all. Online this week!
@prospect_uk Quite nervous about it going live - a lot of thought and work went into it, including by the excellent @prospect_uk team
@prospect_uk At the very least, writing 3,500 words was cathartic!

1/ These are eloquent words but the only real question remaining for the Labour Party is what it has *done* to confront, smash and generally reduce antisemitism since it was raised, by many Jewish people who are not lying or smearing, years ago.

(thread)
2/ First thing's first.

Many institutions have experienced problems with racism and culture.

Every institution is different but we have figured out, over the years and as a society, that there are some standard methods for making things better.

See
3/ Reality for Labour is 3 things which everyone accepts were needed have not been done:
(1) Develop an effective (swift, fair, transparent) disciplinary process
(2) Widespread political education (as Owen identified)
(3) Showing real leadership including empathy towards victims

Interesting discussion
My view is that since the ECJ required revocation to be "in accordance with [the UK's] constitutional requirements" and also "in an unequivocal and unconditional manner" there is a decent argument that Parliament would need to confirm/approve the decision
... because e.g. if the Executive decided to revoke when Parliament was against that (e.g. had voted against) that would arguably be neither unequivocal or (though this would have to be tested) in accordance with the UK's constitutional requirements
... Not clear from ECJ's judgment what "unequivocal" means. On one view it's just about the letter notifying being clear that the UK is maintaining membership on the same terms and not using this as a delaying tactic for Brexit

1/ Annual figures from European Court of Human Rights show again that the UK is hardly on the Court's radar. A tiny proportion of the applications heard and even tinier proportion succeeded.

What does it all mean?
2/ Here are the headline figures:
🔸42,716 applications decided
🔹1,014 judgments (so around 41k struck out)
🔸UK found to be in violation only *twice*
🔹Russia in violation 248 times by comparison
echr.coe.int/Documents/Annu…
3/ Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Romania have a huge amount of pending cases against them - Russia has 11,750, which is over 20% of the total (there are 47 states signed up to the Convention)

UK has 124 pending cases.

@GIBiz Not sure what's going on here. Plus, you can still implement @Improbableio as external middleware without its built-in Unity integration (which only makes it easier) - just like UE4.
@Improbableio The issue is that this is similar to the AWS licensing agreement for Lumberyard. But in the case of Amazon, it's justified seeing as they have AWS as a competing service to Azure & GoogleCompute and you can't use FREE Lumberyard with a competing cloud service.
@Improbableio I take that back. The full legal reading of the updated Section 2.4 is worse than I previously thought.

This is very bad.

Steve Barclay, Brexit Secretary: “the Eu cannot enter into a permanent relationship while we are still a member”

For a decent period, best part of a year, after the referendum, time was wasted by predecessor suggesting this was not the case.
Tense exchange with Rees Mogg -

“if EU sets tariffs this is taxation without representation, a fundamental constitutional principle given away in the backstop”

Barclay: “i don’t accept that - at all”

JRM: “you don’t seem to know about it - that’s the problem”
Rees Mogg says “the tampon tax couldn’t be removed in Northern Ireland [if it was by UK Parliament] under this backstop and the ECJ would adjudicate”

This is a #thread regarding Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv, the person who is currently claiming to be a trans woman and suing beauticians who have been refusing to wax their male genitals. I have decided to make this thread with neutral pronouns regarding Jonathan/Jessica because from
what I could gather they have chosen to be referred to as both Jonathan and Jessica and no amount of disgust and hatred I feel for someone could get me to misgender them on purpose. It took me ages to decide to actually make this thread happen because my story with this person is
very much still an open wound and traumatised me in ways I'm not sure I even fully comprehend. I appreciate RTs to get the word out, and I also am open to answering questions but please do not expect me to answer everything, this is very overwhelming. The only reason I am willing

This is unbelievable. You would have to be wilfully ignorant to think this was remotely acceptable.
Well done @DerbyChrisW The White Helmets Conspiracy Network is already propagating your Tweet.

You have just supported a Russian inspired conspiracy theory against First Responders.

Is it too much to expect better from a British Member of Parliament?
Turns out a British MP, supports Vanessa Beeley’s White Helmets Conspiracy Network just like this dreadful person 👇
