@XFreeze The level of betrayal for those poor girls is difficult to fathom, when the adults assigned to care about and for them actively turned a blind eye and let that carry on. I'd like to think I'd sod the consequences and try to speak out, but to whom? Who would listen back then?
Precisely correct. Equally, if a packet of sweets is only 5% poisonous, but I don't have any way to identify which those are, and the non-poisonous ones don't make themselves known, I'll avoid the whole packet, thank you.
No, Maliq. This is silly
People are aware that a number of radical Muslims are threatening to take Britain over, and kill infidels
Many Muslims do not have this intention, but they seem loathe to speak, up for some reason
It's hard for someone like me to figure out how strong the moderates are, and whether the radicals can be controlled
In the meantime it's safer for me to take the threats seriously
And the threats are not coming from the Buddhists
The stunning lack of awareness from @LewisHamilton to suggest that something should be done to address the massive disparity between the richest and poorest, while being worth $580M. Lead from the front, eh, Lewis? You'd manage fine on 10M, so how about "distributing" that 570M?
Lewis Hamilton says he has a problem with people getting too wealthy
This is a man who is worth $580 Million from driving cars and lives in Monaco, avoiding tax telling people communism might be a better idea
You're welcome to give your money away any time you like Lewis
Good morning @NCSC, I've tried reporting a phishing email to your official email address but your server bounced it as the email I forwarded to you "...contains content identified as spam." Isn't that rather the point? (I did try resending and it bounced again.)
Even Arab leaders admit it.
Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.
Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.
Ok, so let us set that aside.
Now watch this.
In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.
Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.
He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.
The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.
This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.
When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.
The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.
This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.
If you value the truth, please share.
@tomaas26@DrJStrategy Maybe try using AI a little more in your answers next time. Might help with your spelling and sentence structure. A silly comment.
@FreedomWatchGB@MontgomeryToms Being offensive shouldn't be cause for police involvement. Incitement? Certainly. Abuse? Definitely, but offending someone's perspectives really, really shouldn't.
Why is Islam fundamentally incompatible with the West? Here is one example, highlighting the basic difference on human rights perspective. Useful idiots, however, will tell you how loving and peaceful it is. From their own mouths:
Preacher and Islamic scholar Suad Salih on the rape of Yazidi women by ISIS:
“Allah allows Muslims to rape and humiliate non-Muslim women.
If we fight Israel, we will take Jewish women as sex slaves and rape them.
This is permitted in the Quran and hadith.”
These are not fringe voices on the street — this is a figure presented as a religious authority.
How long will the West keep pretending this has no real, world consequences?
@TrumpBarron_Q Absolutely not. I'm absolutely in favour of free speech and access to services, but applying government-level sanctions because of blocking the services of a PRIVATE COMPANY is very, very wrong.
@_HenryBolton Completely unconcerned about arrest because he knows damned well that he'll face irrelevant consequences. The social / justice contract is broken.
@top1percentile@BasilTheGreat@attorneygeneral@10DowningStreet Amelia is the character from a government sponsored "game" pushing woke ideology, in which she's the example right-wing bad apple which could lead the player character astray. Unfortunately for them, the kids aren't dumb and largely chose to side with Amelia instead of the plan.
Britain is slipping into something ugly, and Birmingham has torn the mask off it. Politics is no longer anchored in shared citizenship or equal obligation. It is being bent around sectarian pressure, grievance bargaining, and fear of unrest. When that happens, institutions stop enforcing the law and start negotiating with whoever can make the most noise.
This is not about belief or free expression. It is about power. When elected officials act as brokers for religious or ethnic blocs rather than servants of the whole public, the state fractures. Loyalty replaces law. Fear replaces judgment. The language of tolerance becomes a cover for the abandonment of standards.
The growth of MPs, councillors, and mayors elected primarily through sectarian mobilisation has altered how Britain is governed. Voting power is no longer used to argue policy but to extract concessions. Police, councils, and public bodies learn quickly which groups must be appeased and which can be ignored. Decisions stop being made on principle and start being made on risk management, and once that habit sets in, unequal policing does not need to be announced. It is simply practised.
The Birmingham policing scandal followed that pattern precisely. It did not begin with falsified intelligence or manufactured evidence. Those were symptoms, not causes. The collapse came earlier, when threats against Jews were treated as a problem to be managed rather than crimes to be confronted. Intelligence showed hostility, mobilisation, and plans for violence. Enforcement was not directed at those making the threats. The targets were removed instead.
That single choice explains everything that followed. Intimidation worked. Cause enough trouble and the law bends. Apply enough pressure and rights become conditional. Stay quiet and you are told to stay away "for your own safety". The law remains on the books, but its application depends on who is willing to disrupt.
When politicians like Ayoub Khan dismiss scrutiny as a "witch hunt", they are not defending fairness. They are asserting ownership. They signal that accountability becomes illegitimate when it threatens the political settlement they rely on. Authority is captured not by rewriting the law, but by redefining what institutions are prepared to enforce.
This pattern is no longer confined to one city. Hesitation replaces firmness. Consultation replaces enforcement. Language is softened to avoid offence. Decisions are justified after the fact. When it fails, no one is responsible. Process absorbs the blame. Committees replace consequences.
Sectarian politics rarely destroys institutions outright. It corrodes them by habit. Officials learn that calm is bought through concession. Politicians learn that grievance can be recycled indefinitely. Police leaders learn that neutrality carries more career risk than appeasement. Corruption no longer needs envelopes or bribes. It runs on fear, convenience, and self-preservation.
The most dangerous lie underpinning this drift is the claim that enforcing the law causes unrest. History shows the opposite. Unequal enforcement radicalises. When pressure works, it escalates. When silence is rewarded, retreat follows. The social contract thins until only power remains.
Britain once believed it was immune to this kind of politics. That belief held only while public office meant public duty rather than communal advocacy. That line is now fraying, and Birmingham shows where this road ends: evidence bent to fit decisions, Parliament misled, Jews excluded from public life, and responsibility dissolved into timelines while the institution closed ranks.
This is not simply a policing failure. It is a national warning. A country that enforces different rules for different groups does not become tolerant or diverse. It becomes brittle. Brittle societies do not break loudly. They crack quietly, until one day the law is still written down, but no longer believed in.

🚨BREAKING: This is HUGE.
An unprecedented coalition including 8 former heads of state and ministers, 10 Nobel laureates, 70+ organizations, and 200+ public figures just made a joint call for global red lines on AI.
It was announced in the UN General Assembly today!

. @UMG, your inaccurate hounding of @rickbeato is untimately unhelpful to your own artists, whose music is being explained and opened up to a wider audience entirely through fair usage. Your consistent copyright strikes on his YouTube videos has to stop for everyone's good.
@lporiginalg You'll find big people, and you'll find old people, but you'll rarely find big, old people.
F in the chat for Edgar and I'm sure his family are in a horrible place right now. Even deluded people warrant sympathy and gentleness when they're hurting.
@300mirrors Utterly appalling drivel and a travesty from Disney. Oh! No, sorry, I just realised, it's actually me that's a horrible bigot and I'm super-wrong.
@b1g0af @_whatsin_a_name @Azure@AzureSupport Bottom line, they have no idea what's happened. Better off moving off these servers if you can! "We have engaged multiple teams to investigate. As part of the investigation, we are reviewing previous deployments, and are running other workstreams for an underlying cause."
@darrengrimes Immediately after my wife had given birth and cuddled our son, I sat cuddling him with my shirt off, for the same reasons as in the picture. Tell me you know nothing about handling new born infants without telling me etc.
