Not long after I joined twitter in 2008, I set my name to "Lord Steven Phillips" as a joke to 'one up' a pal who set their name to "Sir..."
My friends subsequently bought me an actual lordship title for my birthday...

When I sent BBC HR a note from my GP, I was told I could withdraw my complaint if the process was affecting my wellbeing.
Thank you Kate Clancy for your substack piece [link below] on why good people turn on a colleague, and why HR keeps missing it.
I wish I had known some of this at the time. I could never see how a grievance investigation could demand a higher standard of proof than a court would, or how the bullying I was subjected to could ever be proven when so much of it happened face to face, not on email and not in front of anyone else.
I suggested witnesses who could have described similar things being said to them, showing a pattern of behaviour. Most of those outside the BBC weren’t spoken to. Those who were interviewed were only asked about the specific incidents in my grievance and not their own experiences.
After my grievance went in, I was the one kept away from meetings and marginalised, supposedly for my own good. When I said the arrangements were damaging me, HR told my lawyers they had caused me no detriment. When my medical team asked that I be left to heal rather than put through redundancy while I was in hospital, I was told to come into the office to discuss “redeployment”.
Having decided I wasn’t a “direct match” for my own job, the one in which I commissioned films that went on to win an Oscar, a BAFTA and an Emmy, I was sent roles that i apparently was a match for...commissioning factual entertainment, commissioning drama and running BBC Essex.
Kate asks when clever, highly qualified people lose the plot. Charter Renewal is the BBC's chance to answer.

Remember when Hamas made their own PR video showing them digging up pipes in Gaza and using them to create rockets to fire on Israel?
Well now they have no water and sewage system and they have flooding and guess who is to blame for that?

Welcome to the country we have allowed antisemitism to create. The opposite of what we all fought for.
For more than 100 years Jewish ex servicemen and women in Hackney have joined the communal Remembrance events.
The memorial was actually unveiled in 1921 by a Jewish Victoria Cross medal holder so holds a special place in the story of British Jewry.
This year was different because Hackney is now led by the Greens who echo the same Jew obsession as the Nazis.
As a small but respectful protest, the Jewish ex servicemen stayed away from the community wreath laying until the Mayor of Hackney and her keffiyeh sporting activist councillors left.
A small but heartbreaking rebellion, as Hackney AJEX chair Martin Sugarman, who is speaking here, told me:
‘We did not want to be associated in any way, or be complicit with the scurrilous Jew hatred of the Greens, or in any way be seen to give them credibility in Hackney, we attended the usual ceremony, with our Local branch Standard bearer, outside the church at St Johns's - as we have done for the past 100 years or so with fellow veterans and families - but refused to lay our Star of David poppy wreath. Instead we gathered in our small multi-faith group after the Greens had marched away, and held our own private wreath laying with a short service in Hebrew and English, for all those who defended freedom and democracy.’

Epic trolling in NYC: Mayor of Bat Yam, Tzvika Brot, hands over a lawsuit for $250M to the head of Iran's UN delegation, for the civilian damages caused by Iran's missiles 👇

Imagine the outrage if someone was to say "LGBTQ+ people and their cheerleaders are driving homophobia"?
No, @owenjonesjourno I'll tell you who is driving Antisemitism...
Antisemites.
I seem to have upset a lot of people with this tweet. 🙃
I never said people should leave... I suggested Egypt step up to the plate with mobile homes.
Seems however those who want ethnic cleansing of Jews assume that's my suggestion.

Today, we bow our heads alongside the people of the United Kingdom in remembrance of all those who gave their lives in service and sacrifice.
We also remember the Jewish Infantry Brigade and the Jewish soldiers who bravely served in the First and Second World Wars.
We salute their courage, remember their legacy, and stand united in gratitude and remembrance.
Lest we forget 🇮🇱 🇬🇧
Sad not to be on Whitehall today for Remembrance Sunday, but also nice to be able to watch from the warm and actually see the ceremony.
We Will Remember Them.

It’s cool NAZA proves there’s no genocide, as genocidal armies don’t carry out collateral damage assessments. It’s just a shame nothing in the film is substantiated 😢
They could go via Egypt?
There's a whole border with Egypt.
Why is no one demanding the Egyptians do more.
Because heaven forbid the Palestinians should be responsible for anything.
BREAKING: The Palestinian Presidency held the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the worsening humanitarian catastrophe facing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid the continued Israeli aggression and blockade, particularly as winter approaches and rainwater floods displaced families' tents, leaving them without safe shelter, heating, or basic necessities.
It stressed that the situation requires urgent and effective international action to end the suffering.
The Presidency also held the Board of Peace and its envoy, Nikolay Mladenov, responsible for failing to take measures to halt Israeli violations and ensure that Israel fulfills its obligations.
The Palestinian Presidency blames everyone for the catastrophe in Gaza—except Hamas.
"I don't know enough about Arabia"...
Correct... You don't.
Palestinians are Arabs... From Arabia... Which is not Israel....!
It's a stark reminder on the restrictions to Jewish Life right now, when you receive guidance for an upcoming conference which reads:
"For your safety and the safety of the group, please ensure apps publishing your location like 'snap maps' are switched off."
