For those peddling the idea that Israel wasn't behind the rocket strike on the Gaza hospital, all of the following would need to be true:
1. Palestinian groups have managed to bypass Israel's siege and get their hands on very hi-tech weapons completely undetected by Israel.
2. They had decided not to use those weapons until last night.
3. The first time they tried to use such a weapon, it misfired and just happened to land on a hospital.
4. Israel's attack on the same hospital a couple of days earlier, warning that it must be evacuated, was purely coincidental.
When the BBC asked experts to comment, most "were not willing to put forward a view on what happened."
Given the likely career consequences were they not to find a Palestinian group responsible, one can understand their reticence.

We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.

When Palestinian fighters commit war crimes, the West/Press loses no time to speak of “acts of pure evil”. When the Israeli military commit war crimes, the West/Press describes them as “inevitable”, as Acts of God - like a Volcano erupting as is its wont, as its nature dictates.

This deceiving grid tricks you into thinking there's a curved line somewhere, but you can't find it. The purposefully placed gray lines of squares in a curved formation will induce your peripheral vision to interpolate curved lines [read more: buff.ly/3oKqWXa]

The Bias BBC accused London Taxi of lying about their passengers safety during this pandemic.
Wonder if they will now put this on the lunchtime and tea time news bulletins?????

We're all heading to Alpaca-ness 🤣🤣🤣
Seeing double?! 👀 @BBCNaga noticed Basil the Alpaca in this morning's papers and reckons his lock-down haircut is a little bit like our very own Charlie Stayt's.... 🙈

In Spain, a taxi driver was known for taking patients to the hospital, free of charge.
One day, he got a call to pickup a patient from the hospital.
When he arrived, doctors and nurses surprised him with a standing ovation, plus an envelope of money. 🇪🇸🚕
shame on all the people trying to sell reusable ffp3 masks at greatly inflated prices. These masks are needed by NHS staff who are putting there life on the line.

What's happening 2 London? Tottenham Crt Rd & Gower St road closures, more cycle lanes, no access 4 cars & taxis. Our ageing population can't all ride bikes. Access 2 hospitals, essential services & @tfl all affected. Gridlock & increased emissions! @SadiqKhan how's this helping?
