Does that help @cardibach?

It links me back to their inactive Facebook page unfortunately. There is an email address on the group and on your link so I could try that. I was wondering if any other organisations might have things going on.
Thanks though!

No idea why my post was hidden...

The only c word in it was cricket.

A massive ‘well done’ to the 50-ish patriots who protested outside the Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth last night after spotting a number of brown people present at the venue. Just one small problem however - it was the Pakistan Under-19 Men’s Cricket Squad who are currently on tour and taking on our own Under-19 team in Arundel today.

SUPPORT THE RNLI

Just a thought - the quietness of some of these groups might be summer holiday related.

DuncinToffee · 09/09/2026 14:58

Did anyone catch WATO? I was quite taken aback by Netanyahu's spokesman and how venomous and unhinged he sounded. Calling the UK electorate stupid, in essence. I was actually quite pleased we are finally making a stand, albeit late, about the genocide and general disregard for human life Israelis seem to have in the West Bank and how they can't draw parallels to their own history. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00316yv

I see that Danny Thompson's thugs are gathering at the Daily Mail offices. Yaxley-Lennon is having a meltdown down over a Despatches report.

Great news re Reform.

The attacks on Ed Milliband have started as well.

Justin Webb was questioning his Jewishness.

Given the similarity of offences in the Channel 4 report to the George & Fiona Cottrell donations they will form part of the same investigation.

Which was as expected.

Will be interesting to see whether the other overseas/impermissible donors are named at a later stage.

The dispatches episode tonight is an investigation into Yaxley-Lennon's finances - he's sent a threatening voicemail to Channel 4

No sure why Danny Thomas is upset with the DM

Daniel Thomas's trading address is his mother's address. Daily Mail has published his trading address. (Haven't actually seen it, am summarising what I have read elsewhere, don't know why they published the address).

Ah yes the Not A Real Jew thing. See also Michael Rosen.

As a(nother) example of "who uses MN ?", I am amused by the seeming total lack of interest in the shocking BBC front page story about the imbalance of divorce laws.

Something to bear in mind if you think MN is in anyway a cross section of society.

Can you link this Jane?

Ah thank you

Did the DM indicate how much his mothers house is worth?

Also her age & hair colour all vitally important according to the DM.
