“You have to think of the mens rea. There’s a difference between Spurs fans self-describing themselves as Yids and someone calling someone a Yid as an insult,” [David] Cameron told the Jewish Chronicle.
“You have to be motivated by hate. Hate speech should be prosecuted – but only when it’s motivated by hate.“
FIGHT!
Yid?

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, in fairness.

An anti market capitalisation art/game project by Big Hope, what sez:
The name Commonopoly is paraphrased from Monopoly, understood both as the economic term and the name of the well-known board game. Unlike Monopoly, the goal of Commonopoly is not the exhaustion, through monopolization, of a virtual stock of goods, but rather the expansion and preservation of a self-propelling sustainable system of recycling, production and distribution. The word ‘common’ employed in the name originates from the notion of ‘the commons’, that is, the resources such as air, water, public space etc. that by their nature contradict attempts at private ownership. Commonopoly is a model of a system where resources are held in common, avoiding their depletion.
Exchange, collaboration, mutual trust.
