Some Islamophobic prick has edited @NazShahBfd's Wikipedia.

This is what Muslims in public life deal with, especially female Muslim MPs.
The same person vandalised @johnmcdonnellMP's Wikipedia too.

This is horrific @Wikipedia. Never mind the vandalism on Naz Shah and John McDonnell by this person, look what they put on the 2017 Finsbury Park Attack page.

How on earth can Islamophobia like this get through so easily? Image

His did that go in 2017 & 2019? People are too tribal, tactical voting doesn't work. Unless we get proportional representation, we are doomed to the status quo of a government who doesn't represent the majority of voters.

Not being Tory shouldn't be your reason to back someone.
2/ For example, why should I have to vote or advocate for Labour, when the party's treatment of Muslims like myself is appalling?

It is truly grim being a Muslim in or for Labour. Our complaints are ignored and the party gaslights us to the media.

My vote is owed to anyone.
3/ It's also pretty unfair to expect people to vote for a candidate they don't agree with. Why should a Green or Lib Dem supporter vote Labour and vice versa. Having more parties should be a good thing, but our system means Red or Blue.

Children may be taught the horrors of war, but when poppy season arrives, war adults glamorise it.

Veterans are pushed onto a pedestal they don't want. Emblazoning everything with a poppy doesn't help us either.

Our dead friends are used to divert from the horror & suffering.
.@joejglenton is right. Remembrance should be solemn like a funeral.

Selling Grenade themed Gin, having postbox cozy competitions & building a tacky military scene in your mum's garden ain't it.

STOP making it a commercial or PR event.

Wear a standard poppy & stop there.
And nobody talks about the horrors of modern war British troops have faced.

Seeing your best mate vaporised and then having to collect their remains was the same in 2007 as in 1914.

Veterans don't tend to want reminding of war everywhere they go. We aren't yours to co-opt.

The tweet in question Laura Kuenessberg "accidentally" retweeted earlier and missed for over 8 hours.

Oddly, she's following this no picture account from 2012 with 289 followers.

It's her alt account isn't it lol. ImageImage
Laura Kuenessberg accidentally retweeted anti EU tweet from this account that she follows.

Joined in March 2012 and had tweeted 91.7k times, yet only gained 292 followers, some high profile accounts too.

Very normal account. 26 tweets a day average yet low following. ImageImage
3/ I for one would like to know @BBCNewsPR, what drew their political editor to follow a racist xenophobic account such as this?

More to follow in thread. ImageImageImage

England have gone hard on Australia in their #T20WorldCup match.

65-5 off 14.2 overs.
England need to get Finch out if they want to stop Australia getting into a rhythm in the last 5 overs. #ENGvAUS #T20WorldCup
Australia are 67-5 after 15 overs against England. #ENGvAUS #T20WorldCup21

Robert Peston's client journalism spree this week:

Cites Matt Hancock's reason for his UN role loss as fact, despite @pass_blue clearly stating the real reason: Not correct channels.

Praises Mark Francois on misogyny, despite knowing of his arrest for Rape & Sexual Assault.
2/ I am sick of political journalists with huge platforms putting out politician's excuses as fact, without bothering to check anything.

They treat us like idiots. They're too scared to actually do any journalism.

Mainstream UK political journalism is so bad it's depressing.
3/ There is nothing wrong with reporting what a politician says, it's important they do.

However, when they report that as gospel without bothering to so even the most basic due diligence, it's a complete failure of standards, some might argue it's intentional.
