Context is anti semitic

It's sarcasm the way I'm reading it, i.e. he is saying the the UN chief is providing context and that is being deemed as antisemitic, which it's not.

The Israeli ambassador is conflating the state with the entire set of Jewish people, which as you said is itself antisemitic

I think you're both on the same page

They're quids in (unless they've based their finances on the capital gains from owning property in a ridiculously expensive city while shunting the costs onto lower paid workers who are forced to commute long hours at their own expense).

Well they have to have their side hustle too, gig economy and all!

I remember at the time, the campaigning by the supposed remainders in the Tories was pretty shit, which was surprisingly given they convinced a lot of the working class to cut their own throats

I think this is very interesting, and you should go pester ones like Stephen Fry on mastadon to come have a play with lemmy

Just as a homage to Stephen Fry in particular, here's a fantastic audiobook version of hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on archive.org
