Women and the LGBT+ community will still have to wait for equality after today’s #abortion & #samesexmarriage vote, but hopefully not indefinitely after MPs @stellacreasy & @ConorMcGinn successfully took back control!

A poll has found that 60% of Tory members think Islam is generally a threat to Western civilisation and 42% think having a wide variety of racial and cultural minorities has damaged British society. Where is the wall to wall coverage of this extreme, unapologetic racism?

The Board of Deputies complained. Their complaint involved non-Jewish signaturies (there were unfortunately a few that slipped through my verification process but were removed this morning) and people like @Jackiew80333500 and Tony Greenstein being on it...

Hmmm, Anti-Zionism isn’t necessarily anti-Semitism. Israelis are not necessarily Jewish, Zionists or even Semitic. An embassy represents a country, not a race or an ideology. So when you say “you couldn’t make it up”, are you just projecting your lack of awareness on to others?

Please consider making a reasoned argument without recourse to terms of personal insult.

Lawyers for grooming gang defendants demanded yet again that the trial be stopped and the jury discharged because of the now double-whammy of the Yaxley-Lennon video + English Defence League demo. The judge rejected that - and the jury finally convicted the defendants.

They were protesting SYL's imprisonment. One of the defendants, Sajid Hussain, absconded after his barrister had raised concerns on his behalf about the demonstration.

The upshot of this was the trial almost collapsed and guilty men could have walked free. Lawyers for two of the defendants tried to have the jury discharged on the basis they couldn't reach fair verdicts. A week after the video, an English Defence League mob arrived at the Court.

And the judges say "aggressively" confronted and filmed some of the defendants "thereby directly interfering with the course of justice." In their view that amounted to a "serious interference with the administration of justice.”

Two judges say he committed 3 contempts (as reported last Friday). SYL broke an order postponing reporting of a trial of men who ran a sexual grooming gang. His Facebook stream at the court led to a "substantial risk that the course of justice would be seriously impeded"

It’s the final assault folks. Hold onto your hats and hearts. This will be ugly as all hell.https://twitter.com/bbcnewsnight/status/1148599230501662720 …

If you want to know the real reasons why the anti-Islam activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (whose stage name is Tommy Robinson) is facing a possible jail sentence for contempt of court, read the judgement: https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/attorney-general-v-stephen-yaxley-lennon-reasons-for-judgment-of-5-july-2019/ …

Sadly for you, Ali, many Muslims are also gay, we have freedom of sexuality here in the UK, and there's not a thing you can do about it.
