We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Fahim iqbal, sentenced yesterday, along with 2 others, to 12 years for S18, wounding with intent.

Fahim was on licience during the time of this attack, for assisting rape as part of the grooming gang that abused me.

He has a long list of offending before this aswell, Including another stabbing. Yet he will be back out on the streets again in 6 to 8 years.....

Why do we keep giving people these types of sentences when they have shown they will keep on doing the same horrid crimes over and over?

The fact that someone in his 30s has already been to prison for multiple stabbings, assisting rape and multiple other offences, yet will still be let back out again in a few years, is mind blowing to say the least.

This is England's justice system

The Macpherson Report and the murder of Henry Nowak are causally linked through the corrosive logic of multiculturalism and its institutional offspring: two-tier policing.

By the time he was stabbed to death in December 2025, 18-year-old Henry Nowak would have been eight years younger than the 1999 Macpherson Report. The nature of the former—and especially the police response—is directly tied to the latter.

Sir William Macpherson’s inquiry into the Stephen Lawrence case redefined institutional racism expansively. It instructed police to prioritise perceptions of racism from minority complainants. This well-intentioned reform, born of genuine outrage at one racially motivated murder, embedded a structural bias: complaints from certain communities received swift deference, while the concerns of the native majority were often dismissed as prejudice.

Over a quarter-century, this shifted the state’s posture from impartial referee to quasi-imperial active manager of ethnic sensitivities. 

Fast-forward to Southampton, 3 December 2025. Henry Nowak, a Polish-British student, was stabbed five times—including a fatal chest wound—by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, who was legally carrying a 21cm kirpan, a privilege extended to no others in British society. As Henry lay dying in his own blood, Digwa falsely claimed racial abuse (citing a bruised eye). Officers handcuffed and arrested the victim rather than rendering immediate aid.

Police later apologised—unconvincingly, particularly after the leaked bodycam footage emerged. The IOPC is investigating. This is not mere incompetence. It is the predictable outcome of Macpherson’s legacy: officers socialised to fear being labelled racist more than failing to protect life.

Listen to Henry’s father. Watch the leaked video and don’t look away. Henry didn’t get a dignified death. He died frightened, drowning in his blood while being mocked and then advised of his rights. Scriptwriters would be sent back to the room if they suggested something so on-the-nose in a gritty drama—yet this is grotesque UK reality.

People should be furious about it. The government is paralysed by ideology, fear, and cowardly shamelessness. Genuine media that holds power to account is in short supply.

Setting anger aside for a moment, multiculturalism erodes the pre-political loyalty that underpins state legitimacy—the special sauce of governance. When institutions apply justice asymmetrically—aggressive on Islamophobia or native 'hate', hesitant or inverted when minorities are perpetrators—trust collapses. This is textbook anarcho-tyranny.

Polls show historic lows in institutional confidence. Incidents like Nowak’s, amplified by grooming scandals, knife crime disparities, and uneven protest handling, accelerate the collapse.

The consequences are stark: feral zones in cities, rural-urban fractures, nativist backlash, and escalating intercommunal violence. Would you choose to walk your dog where Wayne Broadhurst was stabbed to death, or send your son to university where he might be degraded while dying and begging police for help? What would you do if violence and rape regularly targeted you and yours and the police seemed indifferent?

It used to be brushed off as part and parcel' of modern urban life, or 'don’t look back in anger'. That was low, dishonest, and weak. Now the strategy is silence—which may be the least bad option left for this dishonest, discredited government.

We are sliding toward the civil conflict I have warned of—not as cause, but as consequence—of Britain’s unravelling as a coherent nation. The drivers are obvious because they strike normal people faster, wider, and deeper. The reactions are predictable. War is adaptive behaviour; civil war is simply more brutal and socially miasmic. Henry’s killing is not an isolated tragedy. It is a chapter in a larger, nationally suicidal debacle imposed on ordinary people by a governance system that has grown functionally undemocratic over thirty years.

[quibble @quibbleUK]

Hello, we are Jonathan and Abigail - unashamed pedants who want to bring this affliction to bear on all things public policy and practice.
We believe that details matter, especially in public administration. This is why today we are founding quibble: a campaign to fix the small stuff.
Think, for example, about the cookie banner that we click on every webpage. Each instance is not a big deal, so we just put up with it. But its cumulative impact adds up - on average we press it 5 times per day. The European Commission estimates that it costs EU citizens 343 million hours per year.
And who is there to represent the impacts of seemingly minor issues like this in a systematic way? We want quibble to be the answer. In the case of the cookie banner, lots of advocacy has rightly focused on privacy, but has this meant that user experience has taken a backseat? We believe there are ways to improve user experience without compromising on privacy. We will share more about this soon.
Consider another example. Did you know that in some government-run car parks you can be fined for a minor keying error, such as accidentally typing a zero instead of an “o”? Again, we will come to the detail of this quibble in the coming weeks, but for now just consider again the question: who? Who is there currently to systematically represent the interests of the parker who is given an unfair ticket?
An inherent feature of consumer interests is that those who have them rarely have enough other things in common to make collective organisation and representation feasible. This is the gap that quibble seeks to fill. Now of course excellent consumer interest groups exist. But understandably quibbles might not be at the top of their lists. Our hope is that quibble will be complementary; picking up the bottom-of-the-list issues faced by various groups - the stuff they are almost too embarrassed to raise because they are too small.
We are not embarrassed about detail. If you’ve ever had a splinter, you know small things can have a big impact. This is what quibble is committed to tackling, and our wider hope is that by doing so we will also incentivise policy makers to be even more careful about detail.

Over 85% of new cars in the UK are bought on finance, mostly PCP

You are paying £400 a month to borrow a depreciating liability that loses 60% of its value in the first 3 years

If you invested that £400 a month into a basic index fund instead of renting a status symbol, you would have over £300,000 in 20 years

You are trading a multi-million-pound retirement for a mid-range German saloon

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

I’m making a show about buildings.

The concept is simple: do for the man-made world what Planet Earth did for the natural world.

But, when I pitched the idea, the answer was that nobody would watch it.

So I released a pilot episode on YouTube. It’s got 5.4 million views, 379k likes, and 23k comments.

People are interested, and now it’s time to make the full show.

Six episodes, filming in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the USA, and releasing on a streaming service like HBO, Netflix, or Prime.

Why does this show matter?

First: we’re surrounded by buildings all the time. Look around yourself, right now… what do you see? Buildings are the logical conclusion of everything a society believes in. That’s the real focus of this show: not the buildings themselves, but what they say about us.

Second: there’s global dissatisfaction with modern architecture. This feeling gets written about online, but nobody’s given a voice to it on film or TV. That’s what this show will be. But this isn’t just about criticising modernity. That’s easy. This is about learning from the past in order to understand and improve the present, for everybody.

Third: there’s a drought of high-quality culture shows. When I spoke to film executives they said that only documentaries about sports, music, or true crime get funded. That’s a colossal missed opportunity. Galleries are always full, content about architecture goes viral online all the time, and people spend their precious holidays visiting beautiful cities.

Why no shows about architecture, then?

Tourists flock in their millions to see (for example) the buildings of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona. But, if you asked those same people if they’re interested in “architecture”, they’d probably say no.

To put that another way: not many people want to watch “a show about architecture”, but lots of people want to watch a show that illuminates the real world they’re living in, each and every day.

What will the show be like?

Six episodes, going chronologically through history and arriving at the present, each focussing on the architecture and design of a specific period:

1. Middle Ages
2. Renaissance
3. Enlightenment
4. The Nineteenth Century
5. Art Nouveau & Art Deco
6. Present Day

But, in each case, the point isn’t just to learn about that era; the point is to learn about our modern world through those eras and what they’ve left behind. If you watch the pilot episode (included below) you’ll see what I mean.

So the show’s not really “about” the past; it’s about the twenty-first century.

That’s why it’s called The Modern World.

When you think of a typical history show there are loads of interviews, stock footage, archive photos, historical recreations, and graphics. We’re doing none of that. Everything will be filmed on location, because we’re telling our story only through the real world that exists right now. And, rather than going to the most obvious places, we’ll focus on buildings that aren’t well-known but should be more famous.

But that’s all big picture; what will it be like on screen?

Buildings used to look different in every country, and now they look the same. Why? Because the weather is different everywhere, and buildings were always a way of dealing with that weather, using local materials. Now we have air conditioning and we ship concrete around the world, so we don’t need to design our buildings with regard to local weather or rely on local materials.

Look at really old clocks and you’ll notice something: they don’t have a second hand… because it was only invented 300 years ago! Then you look at the present and you realise we’re surrounded by timers, by seconds ticking down and ticking up relentlessly. If we’re looking for a cause of our anxiety-inducing culture, that might be it.

When you spend time with the sun-softened bricks and time-warped timbers of old cities you notice that synthetic materials like plastic have taken over. When we’re surrounded by things that feel temporary, how do you think it makes us feel?

It’s only by seeing 19th century train stations, designed like cathedrals, that you realise tradition and technology aren’t enemies. New things don’t have to look boring: if the Victorians had designed AI data centres, they’d look like Medieval castles.

In the 1920s, at the zenith of Art Deco, people believed technology would uplift humanity. That’s why they decorated their buildings with statues inspired by electricity. Only by seeing their enthusiasm can we realise our own cynicism, and perhaps begin to fix it.

All of that… and much, much more.

But, above all else, this show is about a way of seeing. If you want to understand any society then you need to look at what it creates, not what it says about itself.

There’s a worldview in every single object; our skyscrapers are designed the same way as our phones. Learn to look at this world, to notice its details, and everything else starts to make sense.

What now?

I’ve been quiet online recently because I’ve been researching and working on scripts for six full-length episodes. Production begins when we’ve raised the funding.

The Modern World is coming.

The UK is now a hot country.

Our houses weren't built for today's temperatures.

Only 3% of British homes have air conditioning.

Air conditioning in new homes, with cheap energy, is the path we must take.

You really don't have to sleep in 20º heat.
