@MickTarmey45169 @claire_adams694 What do you think about the news story saying a Stairfoot Foodbank needs to buy its building ?
It contradicts the way charity premises work
Owners of empty shops gives free premises cos that means they escape the burden of business rates

[Media Bias Monitor @BiasMonitor]

@ChronOnline Context : the idea misrepresents the way charity premises world works
Owners with empty shops give use to charities
as that removes rates cost
Barnsley has empties

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

A British university student is facing prosecution after comparing a Keffiyeh worn by a pro-Palestinian activist to a “tea towel” during Freshers’ Fair at @RoyalHolloway.

20-year-old Brodie Mitchell told the President of the Friends of Palestine Society, Huda El-Jamal, that her keffiyeh looked like a “tea towel” after she called him a “wannabe Jew” because he was defending Israel and mocked him for not wearing a Jewish “hat”.

In a classic case of double standards on campus, Brodie was handed a nine-week suspension the following day “for alleged conduct that could be considered hate speech”. He was told his comments were “Islamophobic”, “racist”, and “anti-Palestinian” and was barred from campus and forced to leave his student accommodation.

Surrey Police have now confirmed they have sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for a charging decision — meaning Brodie could face prosecution for saying El-Jamal’s headscarf looked like a “tea towel”. Meanwhile, she faced no disciplinary action and continued her studies as normal.

Welcome to two-tier Britain.

The case could be the first of many, given the Government’s decision to publish an official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” and encourage universities to embed it in their speech policies. The definition is already being used to silence legitimate criticism of Islam.

The Free Speech Union is supporting Brodie. With our help, he has been allowed back on campus, but under conditions that dictate who he can speak to and what he’s allowed to say.

With our support, Brodie is taking Royal Holloway to the High Court, arguing he was unfairly forced to miss seven weeks of teaching, potentially delaying completion of his degree. We’ve also provided him with a top-notch criminal legal team in case the CPS decides to prosecute him.

His own university, Royal Holloway, is spending nearly three-quarters of a million pounds defending its actions. At a recent hearing, it initially said its total costs could be as high as £734,000, with the risk that Brodie will have to pay them if he loses.

In other words, the university is trying to scare him into dropping the case. But we’ve got his back.

Welcome to the reality of free speech on English university campuses. In the absence of the complaints scheme that was legislated for in the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act being activated by Bridget Phillipson – she has delayed doing so for 18 months now – these are the ruinous costs facing students who want to stand up for their right to free speech.

On this week’s episode of the FSU Podcast, Brodie Mitchell (@BrodieMitchell1) shares his story with @_ConnieShaw.

[Cllr Maxine Fothergill @MaxineFothergil]

For 24 years, I have run @AmaxEstates, a small independent business in #Gravesend.

I’ve always paid my dues, supported the local economy and worked hard to build something sustainable.

Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to resolve a serious issue with my business rates — and despite multiple emails and attempts to engage, I have received no response from @graveshambc

I have been told one rateable value (£12,750) which was also confirmed over phones calls, yet billed another (£15,000), resulting in an increase from £147 per month to £642 per month — a rise of over 340%

For a small business, this is simply not sustainable.

I have also been unable to access the official system to challenge this before the deadline, despite repeated attempts.

I am now left in a position where:
• I cannot get clear answers
• I cannot challenge through the system
• I am facing a bill that could put a 24-year business at risk

I have also contacted my local MP, @drlsullivan, and to date have received no response.

This is not how small businesses should be treated.

I am now working with the press to get answers — not just for myself, but because I suspect I am not the only one facing this.

If you are a local business experiencing similar issues, please get in touch.

This needs addressing.

To @waitrose IF? This👇 is as reported you really need to give your heads a wobble & reverse this👇decision; I’ve arrested detained 30 Shoplifters at your Twickenham branch in past 12yrs (ask the manager Stuart) & at times protected staff from attack; sacking a member of staff for challenging a shoplifter? Come on let’s have some balance here & some common sense?👇🤷‍♂️

2pm in a small market town in rural Lincolnshire.

Two men run out of Sainsbury’s with a basket overflowing with unpaid for food.

Run towards the main road.

Two female members of staff make a valiant but cautious chase and sensibly give up.

One was in his branded work jacket.

Another customer knew where they had parked - she’d noticed them leaving their car outside a different shop.

But nothing will happen.

We’re rapidly becoming a lawless society.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
I’ve got my hands on the 2026 conference agenda for the National Education Union the UK’s largest teaching union.

It states:
“Reaffirm the union’s opposition to all forms of racism, fascism and far-right extremism, including the divisive politics promoted by Reform UK.”

And then:
“The trade union movement must throw its full weight behind stopping a Reform UK government.”

This isn’t neutral.
It’s the UK’s largest teaching union taking a clear position against a political party while Zack Polanski has been invited to speak at conference.
And these are the people shaping what’s happening in our classrooms.

Have a look at this material yourself⬇️

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest.

It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards.

And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride.

Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children.

That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

🇬🇧 Police wanted to arrest a guy for his racist username "ChingChongChinaman”

Turns out he’s Chinese … and the username comes from times when everyone wasn’t woke and friends insulted each like that for fun.

A significant proportion of those who only get their news from traditional sources will think the nail bomb thrown in New York was directed at Mayor Mamdani by Islamophobes.

That is deliberate. That is more damaging to society than the truth.

During Konstantin Kisin's recent debate with Destiny, an attendee (Nathan Ormond of DigitalGnosis) was feet away.

He later livestreamed violent fantasies about assassinating him - slashing his jugular, etc.

There is a sickness in leftists in Britain that must be confronted before it turns deadly.

No lessons seem to have been learnt from what happened to Charlie Kirk. Free speech shouldn't mean fearing for your life.

[Grumpy Man UK @GrumpyManUK]

Millions watching effigies of Guy Fawkes being burnt on bonfires.

It might seem like a ‘joke’ but normalising violence in politics damages our democracy.

I’m calling for an urgent Traditional Rights Bill to protect historical figures’ identity and likeness from bonfire depictions.
