UK: Edgware United Synagogue (London) Reported to Charity Commission – for Promoting Illegal Israeli Settlement Property! (17.6.2026)

The ICJP also sent photographs of brochures and leaflets advertising property in illegal settlements from Sunday’s event to London’s Metropolitan Police.

MEE has contacted the Charity Commission for comment.

The Metropolitan Police are not investigating the event, MEE understands.

The government said last week it would “explicitly advise businesses against economic and financial activity in illegal settlements”. 

MEE has attempted to reach the real estate event’s organisers for comment.

The Edgware United Synagogue has also been contacted for comment about the event but has not responded.

Organisers denied last week in comments to Jewish News that the event would feature land for sale in the occupied West Bank, saying: “All exhibitors, without exception, will provide information about properties and projects within the Green Line.

“We believe that these ridiculous allegations are motivated by anti-Israeli and terrorist supporters, seeking only excuses to attack Jews in general and the State of Israel in particular.”

South London Spastics - We Are All 'Wall!

UK: Weird News From England – “We Are All ‘Wall”! (11.3.2026)

Millwall Football Club acknowledges the decision by The Football Association to impose upon it a £45,000 fine and an extension to the FA Action Plan, following a breach of FA Rule E21 during the Carabao Cup fixture against Crystal Palace on Tuesday 16th September 2025.

The sanctions have been imposed in relation to the use of a chant containing the phrase ‘South London Spastics’. The term ‘Spastic’ is a derogatory and discriminatory term and has the effect of leaving those with a disability feeling targeted and unwelcome.

This chant goes against everything the club stands for and is wholeheartedly condemned. The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of discriminatory abuse; such behaviour has no place in society. Any individual identified as engaging in such abuse will be banned.

Honeywood Museum - Changing Perspectives! Disabled People in the Workforce!

UK: Honeywood Museum – Changing Perspectives! Disabled People in the Workforce – Exhibition! (21.2/2026)

Of course, this might not be the case due to severity – but each human being should be granted dignity. Whatever the case, the able-bodied society at large should not “punish” those who happen to possess a disability – just because such an individual requires assistance here or there. Punishing the poor and needy derives from the Christian notion of “charity” – which suggests god is punishing the impoverished and the disabled for an imagined “sin” of some kind. This attitude has been taken on by modern capitalist society as disabled people, due to their enhanced needs, are not as efficient to exploit for naked profit as their able-bodied colleagues are. Given a chance and appropriate support, many disabled people are able to contribute to society. In the cases where they are not – such individuals should be cared for with compassion by society at large.

A British Muslim charity has organised a 300-mile cycle route from Makkah to Madinah, tracing the historic migration journey of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to raise funds for Palestine.

Over 40 British Muslim Cyclists Ride Historic Hijrah Route to Raise Money for Palestine! (20.1.2026)

The event also marked the start of the Islamic Hijri calendar, a lunar calendar consisting of twelve lunar months, holding deep religious significance for Muslims worldwide.

“What began with a shaky start, broken pedals, loose chains and a few punctures became a powerful reminder that no challenge is too big when brothers stand together. With the support team always ready, every setback was fixed, every rider lifted, and unity carried the group forward,” the charity said following their first day of riding.

The reason why M2H are embarking on this journey is to raise funds for Palestine, a cause they have labelled “a crisis beyond imagination”.

The charity plans to make the site accessible to the public

UK: Heighington Station [1827] – First Train Platform in World! (19.1.2026)

Last year Heighington Station, which dates to back to 1827 and was part of the first passenger railway to use steam trains in the world, was bought by the charity Friends of the Stockton and Darlington Railway.

The group’s chair Niall Hammond said the excavation of a small train platform located near the site was planned.

He said it was presumed it was the “original for the building” because it looked the right size and shape.

He said plans were still in the early stages, but that the group hoped to attract lots of volunteers to the dig over the summer.

Hammond said the platform, which is next to the station, was “tiny” and had cobbles.

He said ideally the team would find a “Georgian penny” at the bottom of the platform during the dig which would confirm its age.

Tixover: Visiting St Luke’s in the Field Church! (26.10.2025)

We first visited this Church around 2009 – but at that time we were only focusing on the gravestones in St Mary’s Church – Duddington, and ignoring everything else. This was partly due to the early mobile ‘phones and digital cameras possessing a very limited memory. As time went by, and our genealogical research developed, we were asked to include an ever greater scope in our research which we shared online. This coincided with the technology drastically improving. Meanwhile, when we started this “Wyles” research project – we did not even possess a permanent website – and to date we have had two – before settling on the site we now possess. Tixover is just over the bridge at the Western boundary of Duddington – and is about a mile or so down the road. Tixover (Old English meaning “Kids eat grass on a slope” – kids being young goats).
