One of my favourite photos I've ever taken. Over 10yrs ago using Pentax K20D with just the kit lens if I remember correctly. This is straight out of camera no processing or fake bokeh

I'm still pushing for a Nobel Prize for the Voyager team. Outlasted its mission by 45 years and counting. Incredible.

It’s the cover up that is almost worse than the scandal.
🔴 EXCLUSIVE: After *five-year* legal battle, Democracy for Sale has forced the government to reveal who referred firms to lucrative Covid PPE ‘VIP lane’ for 'politically connected'
30+ senior Tories are named, plus ex Duchess of York, and many more 🧵

Er…. No it’s not.
It’s intellectually disreputable and ideologically driven.
David Bell had the audacity to lie that there’s no conflict of interest, while he sits on a Zionist lobby group.
Typical Zionist playbook.
Receipts in my article in replies.

Here is an Israeli judge making it clear that Israel is not a ‘state of all its citizens.’
Good luck spinning that ADL and AJC and AIPAC.

I miss the old NZ. The feeling that we were all one. Māori and Pākehā living alongside each other with mutual respect, sharing songs, stories and traditions because we genuinely wanted to learn. We welcomed newcomers, but our communities still felt distinctly Kiwi. We valued hard work, opportunity and getting ahead. We were proud to be clean, green & looked after our beautiful country. Littering was a sin, respecting our elders was a given, & good old-fashioned manners mattered.
We weren’t perfect, but there was a sense of unity, belonging and shared identity. I miss that feeling. 🇳🇿

Fascinating thread on Israeli’s racist disinformation campaign.
Le Monde has the story today - coming soon in English.

This is undoubtedly one of the greatest takedowns and commentaries of any product in history.
Thank you for your service, @ZacksJerryRig.

The whole world should see this document.
Israeli President Shimon Peres applied for Palestinian citizenship in 1937.

And here we have it.
National is funnelling taxpayers money into private health services. Money that should be going into our public health services.

The claim in Sir David Bell's report that 3 in 5 Jewish students have experienced antisemitism was based on just 29 people - and was untrue.
My latest for Double Down Newswatch.

The government's antisemitism in schools report is a travesty.
It's riddled with errors, distortions and contradictions.
And it will be used to silence people over Palestine 👇

27 recommendations to the DfE.
Based on 29 Jewish respondents saying yes to experiencing antisemitism.
24 hours later, it becomes government policy.
This is f^cking insane.

Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName
