Here’s our Fred. Back to stand another day, in memory of our most brave. Fred has been spat at, called a war monger and worst of all at Brent Cross, he was told by security that he wouldn’t be able to come in and stand unless he REMOVED HIS MEDALS AND UNION JACK BADGE. Where’s the gratitude?? Where’s the respect?? Shameful Bless you Fred❤️🇬🇧 @policylaila @Alexarmstrong @EssexPR @RossKemp
My sister went to Waitrose on Sunday in Mill Hill East and there was a veteran called Fred selling poppies. She went to buy one for him and as it was chilly outside asked to buy him a coffee to warm him up. In conversation she heard from him how he has been spat at, called a racist and a warmonger … all for selling poppies to remember our most brave and fallen heroes. It broke my heart. What has become of this country? Where is the gratitude to those that lay down their lives so we could be free? Where has pride in our country gone? I’ve been there every day since in the hope of seeing him, but as yet, Fred hasn’t returned.

Just because someone lives in a property over band D, doesn't mean they are better off.

Why do so many young people I speak to say they wish we would riot like the French? I struggle to understand this. I understand the frustration people feel when they believe the government is failing them, and I believe there should be greater pressure on politicians to listen and act. But setting buildings on fire, looting shops and putting innocent people at risk is not the answer. It is ordinary people, including independent shopkeepers and vulnerable members of the public, who can end up paying the price. There is a difference between refusing to accept the status quo and destroying the communities we live in.

What I struggle to understand is the hatred aimed at Ed Sheeran, after vocalising a very neutral view on the war in the Middle East. Whilst Macklemore was being praised by many is now giving money raised by his upcoming concerts to a pro Palestine organisation which defended Hama’s October 7th brutalities.

The London Assembly amended today’s Mayor’s Question Time motion to oppose racism, discrimination and antisemitism, and condemn political statements causing fear among Londoners. Yet @ZackPolanski didn’t say a single word. When it came to standing against antisemitism, his silence was deafening.
