The most horrifying thing I’ve read.

A concert featuring a number of Scottish acts is to be held to raise money for Medical Aid for Palestinians. The Glasgow Gig for Gaza will be held in the city’s Royal Concert Hall on Wednesday, May 1 and will be headlined by Deacon Blue. Details: thenational.scot/news/24243324.…

The speech that I could not deliver because German police burst into our Berlin venue to disband our Palestine Congress (1930s style). Judge for yourselves the kind of society Germany is becoming when its police bans the following words:
