1/10 In July 200 people from the TV & Film industry signed a letter to the BBC Board calling for an urgent investigation into systemic antisemitism & bias at the corporation.

The letter said "208 BBC staff & contributors from TV & Film", were in "anguish & disbelief" that complaints about coverage & social media posts during the Israel-Gaza war had not been dealt with. 2/10. The letter referred to a 40 plus page dossier, sent directly to BBC Chairman Samir Shah, which laid out multiple breaches of the broadcaster's social media guidelines, institutional bias & the continued employment of journalists who had expressed clear support for Hamas & the massacre they perpetrated on Oct 7th.

1/10. Evidence of #TwoTierJustice

Thread…. Spot the difference.

In July 2021 Mohammed Hanif & Jawaad Hussain drove 200 miles from Bradford to a Jewish area in North London & yelled; "F**k the Jews. F**k their mothers, f**k their daughters, show your support for Palestine. Rape their daughters, we have to send a message. Please do it for the poor children in Gaza." 2/10. It took 18 months for the Crown Prosecution Service to determine that screaming anti-Semitic abuse at passers-by in a 'Convoy for Palestine' in broad daylight, purposefully to cause untold fear in a Jewish neighbourhood, wasn't deemed to be "using threatening, abusive or insulting words, with intent, likely to stir up racial hatred".

No charges were brought.

1/4. Some interesting facts you need to know about work, benefits, Brexit and employment etc…

The AVERAGE (not minimum) wage in London is about £30k or £23k after tax.

A single parent with a child can claim £23k on universal credit.

Why work? 2/4. There were less than 3 million people on universal credit before Covid. The number is now not far off 6 million.

Yet businesses are desperate for employees.

Anyone know why?

Let’s push this petition to stop the ban on fracking to 100,000. We need an urgent debate in Parliament on this.

Please get everyone you know to sign and RT this petition.

It’s one of the few things we can do to help end the cost of living crisis.
