Estate agent suspended after 'anti-Semitic' post that appeared to celebrate death of Lord Rothschild
An estate agent has been suspended after appearing to celebrate the death of Lord Rothschild and hoping all Zionists would die.
Lord Rothschild, the financier and member of the Rothschild banking family, died at the age of 87, his family announced earlier this week.
Following his death, Amanda Hardy from Barkers Estate Agents in Borehamwood, Herts, allegedly wrote a social media post which said: “The world is a better place with this Zionist dead. Just got to hope all the others follow.”
Speaking to Jewish News on Tuesday, she apologised for the offence caused and said she had been unaware of what the word “Zionist” meant. She denied her comments were anti-Semitic, saying: “I had a different impression of the word and totally misunderstood the meaning.
“I got the meaning completely wrong. I respect and care deeply about the Jewish community and have lots of close friends and clients who I have worked with over 20 years. I would never wish death on anyone. I’m a caring human and want peace for all of us on this beautiful planet we are blessed to live on.”
She added: “It’s nothing against the Jewish religion at all… It’s the same as the Muslims and the terrorists. There are always the good and the evil. Not everyone prays to the demons. That’s how our world is set out.”
Many people dream of settling in a foreign country with their parents. But getting settled and purchasing your own home in a foreign country is not that easy. Several documentation, papers, and applications are required to achieve such a dream. The joy of welcoming your parents to a foreign country that too in their new home is priceless, just like this video of an Indian couple welcoming their parents to their new home in the USA with proper rituals has created a buzz on the internet. The video is proof that no achievement is complete without your parents’ presence. Isn’t it beautiful?
The clip opens with an Indian couple inside a car going to receive their parents at the airport. As soon as they meet their parents at the airport, they both joyfully greet them by touching their feet and hugging them. As the video progresses, the couple can be seen welcoming their father and mother with proper Indian rituals to their new home. They touch their feet and take their blessings also. The heartfelt video has tugged at the heartstrings of many. The video was uploaded on an Instagram account named @shikha.jain.31. Sharing the video, Shikha wrote, “Welcome home, Mom and Dad! Let the unforgettable moments begin!”

Some also shared heart emoticons in the comments section. “Totally!! Love the smiles,” wrote an Instagram user. “Awww… this is so beautiful and heart-touching,” added a second. “This is so cute,” expressed a third. “So wholesome,” wrote a fifth.

Southeast Asian digital agency network Lion & Lion is launching a social media consultancy practice named “Social IntelliSync” in response to the dynamic demands of its clients, it said in a statement when MARKETING-INTERACTIVE reached out.
Launching this year, Social IntelliSync reinforces Lion & Lion’s commitment to pioneering creative solutions. It aims to transform social data into actionable insights by providing brands with strategic, data-guided counsel on how to move and pivot faster and more accurately from culture, community, content and commerce to conversion. It will also work across APAC markets.
In tandem, Social IntelliSync will help brands find sharper social media solutions in four key areas: culture intelligence, brand intelligence, community intelligence and content intelligence.

These services are designed to enhance Lion & Lion’s social media offerings and brand presence, as well as foster creativity and find unique angles to help brands stand out in the crowded space of social media.
It also aims to sound human, stimulate conversations and solve problems.
“The launch of Social IntelliSync fills me with immense excitement and pride,” said Ham Maghazeh, group director of social media at Lion & Lion in a conversation with MARKETING-INTERACTIVE.
“In this era of ever-evolving social media, marked by massive changes in platforms, consumer behavior, and trends, it’s crucial for brands to adopt a unified approach that aligns seamlessly with their DNA, helping them stay young and relevant,” he said.
Regional chief creative officer, Asher Cheelip Ong added that with the launch of Social IntelliSync, the firm marks a significant milestone in its journey of continuously innovating its creative, social media and digital solutions.
The launch of Social IntelliSync comes on the heels of Lion & Lion’s recent launch of its film and content production unit in 2023. The film and content production unit connects Lion & Lion’s integrated creative, social and digital experience solutions.
While multi-channel creative storytelling has always been an offering within Lion & Lion, with the establishment of a dedicated in-house film production team, the agency claims to now be fully equipped to capitalise on growth opportunities with brands that require full creative to digital-film content production services – including, but not limited to, full-service video production, 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics and music creation capabilities.

we millennials have never learnt how to keep house
A couple of weeks ago, visiting my mother’s house, I picked up a book on the kitchen table – Clean and Green by former Great British Bake Off winner Nancy Birtwhistle. It was a revelation. You can make laundry detergent from conkers, says Birtwhistle. You can whiten yellowing pillow covers with citric acid and table salt. Bicarb can be used for almost everything: smelly clothes, stained tea mugs, sticky labels on jars, you name it. You can freshen up the dishwasher by throwing in a couple of lemon halves (in a bag to catch errant pips) and then running it hot, explains Birtwhistle, who adds that she always does this before she goes on holiday (“Darling, come on, have you got the passports?” “Hang on, just popping the lemons in the dishwasher!”). Her list of how often one needs to do certain household chores was mind-blowing. Wooden spoons need to be sanitised once a month, instructs Birtwhistle; ovens should be deep-cleaned twice a year. Windows should be cleaned every month (what?), while loos and dishcloths should be cleaned every day.
How does one learn this stuff? How have I reached my age without knowing more? It feels sluttish, in the old-fashioned sense of the word, to have drifted through life buying Dettol to wipe my kitchen counters down after making supper but not thinking much beyond that.
Presumably this is why Mrs Hinch and other “cleanfluencers” have taken off on social media. Very few of us have been taught that white vinegar can clean the spots of rust on a shower head, or that a toothbrush is a useful implement to clean skirting boards. If only we still were. There’s endless discussion nowadays of the benefits of mindfulness and meditation apps to try and calm everyone’s raging anxieties, but do you know what’s mindful and meditative and easy to do from home without downloading an app? Buffing your window panes for three hours.
The retort from some to the accusation that millennials can’t keep house would be that they can’t afford a house in the first place, given the property market. Fair point. There’s less impetus to look after somewhere that isn’t yours. When are we supposed to find the time, others might wail. I know, I know, it’s very tricky given our jobs and all the hours that we need to spend on social media, watching clips of cats doing something amusing and improbable with a mop.
But I would still recommend giving the window thing a go. Heck, housework is even becoming fashionable. This week, Harrods started selling a £4,000 ironing board, which claims to cut ironing time in half, emits “hygienic steam” and comes with a keychain made of Swarovski crystals.
“Perhaps next you can tackle your oven,” my mother remarked when I reported back about my shiny windows. Baby steps, I replied. I’ve bought myself a copy of the Clean and Green book, although now I flick back through it, I realise I should have used washing-up liquid and vinegar instead of buying glass cleaner from the supermarket. Next month, Nancy, I promise.
