#ALEPPODEBATE

A debate in the House of Commons discussed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the war-torn Syrian city. @Simonastarling said: “Some impassioned speeches from MPS in #Aleppodebate, but the House is half empty and the Prime Minister missing. Shameful.” @yvonneridley tweeted: “If we can drop bombs on Syria we should be able to drop bread, says @thesnp Patrick Grady in #Aleppodebate” @Ariofmancunia said: “While a half-empty House debates, people are actually dying. Probably wise we remember that.” @nofrills added: “Debate? Debate? A decent debate should have taken place AGES ago, not now”

#MALKY MACKAY

The Scottish football manager lost out on becoming the next Crystal Palace boss after a ‘shocking’ series of offensive text messages was revealed. However, that didn’t stop the SFA from moving to appoint the 44-year-old as their new Performance Director. @Follow_follow said: “Let’s not mince words re: Malky Mackay: if SFA appoint him they are sending a message Scottish football is a grubby, tone-deaf backwater” @steveoek said: “Malky Mackay as performance director would surely show the Scottish FA up. No club will go near him but a national association will?! #crazy” @thejdelaney said: “SFA pulling off a blinder there by nicking Malky Mackay away from Trump’s White House administration” @Thomsondm said: “SNP MSP @haughey_clare has called on @Scotlandfa not to appoint Malky Mackay as their performance director.”

#MUSLIMSLIKEUS

A new series on BBC2 described as the ‘Muslim Big Brother’ has a lot of people talking. The documentary features ten British Muslims living together, all with differing views. @Abdillahishuib said: “The BBC literally hired all the most controversial Muslims and made them fight in a house. How is that showing people Islam? ” @abdulmajid1980 said: “Now make a programme with 10 good working and practicing Muslims, not the bunch of Muslims who don’t know much of their religion” @meraymix said: “I think a lot of ppl are misunderstanding the point of #muslimslikeus on @BBC. It’s to show us there is NO STEREOTYPE”
