It says a lot about diversity in the Met that out of a staff of > 40,000 Londoners they can’t find any Arabic speakers to deploy for this sort of planned event.

And the framing of today's march against "antisemitism" is another step in the direction of painting support for Palestine as being antisemitic.

A Palestinian flag is now anti-semitic too, I expect.

I’ve never seen such a tug of war on the narrative. It’s more ugly than the Ukraine front.

I don't have a xitter account, so I can't read that.

I’m surprised she wasn’t arrested on suspicion.

Never.

Corbyn was an idiot. Offered up a massive target on his own head and took down the entire party with him.

There's ways and means to approach issues. Steaming ahead straight into all the elephant traps was only going to end one way.

They wouldn’t even need a native speaker or translator. Any cop with a mobile phone could use Google lens to instantly read the text.

It reminds me of this from a few years ago: the tote bag that went viral…

To be fair to them their job phones will be locked down and won’t have access to most of the usual apps.

Technology isn't a fix for having no connection with the public.
