Criminals Targeting People With Universal Credit Scam

--------- SCAM WARNING ---------Dear subscriber, Action Fraud has received 63 reports about a scam in which fraudsters target people with offers of “low cost” loans or “free” government grants.

Ultra-Zionist Jewish Chronicle’s preposterous smearing of George Galloway and Gilad Atzmon

Gilad Atzmon writes: The BBC is under attack by some Jewish “community leaders” and their caretakers within British politics.

The ultra-Zionist Jewish Chronicle reports today: “The BBC has been attacked for its decision to invite anti-Israel MP George Galloway to appear on a ‘Question Time’ panel in Finchley, north-west London.” Apparently, Mr Galloway, renowned for his sharp criticism of Israel, will be part of the programme, due to air next week, filmed in the parliamentary constituency with the country’s largest Jewish population.

New UK campaign group – Labour Against Zionist Islamophobic Racism (LAZIR) – launched

NOVANEWS Pete Gregson writes: A new campaign group, Labour Against Zionist Islamophobic Racism (LAZIR), has held its inaugural meeting on 1 June. The group aims to kick Zionism out of the British Labour Party. Making free speech on Israel possible again in the Labour Party will take more that just a petition. We need a campaigning group that stops the creeping Zionism that pollutes politics in the UK, most especially that is so corrosive in Labour. We need to build a network of activists across the UK, working in a concerted manner against the toxic Jewish Labour Movement, in a campaign to allow us to decry apartheid in Israel without being branded “anti-Semites”. So, I want to invite you to review the aims and policies of the body below, and sign up if you want to be a member. Labour Ag...

NOVANEWS Amnesty International staged a demonstration outside the UK headquarters of TripAdvisor on January 30, 2019. Amnesty released a report on that day outlining how Airbnb and other travel companies enable “war crimes” in the occupied West Bank. (TOLGA AKMEN/AFP/Getty Images) Human Rights Editor’s note: In November 2018, Airbnb announced that it would no longer allow rental properties in illegal West Bank settlements to be listed on its website. On April 9, after facing months of pressure from pro-Israel groups, the company reversed its decision. Dear Airbnb, I am writing to ask that you reconsider your decision to allow settlers in the West Bank to use the Airbnb platform to host guests in the settlements—an extremely segregated environment. By now I know that you have heard...
