It's crazy to think that just 80 years after we literally nuked their cities, Japan is one of our closest friends and is commemorating our Independence Day with a fireworks show, while Palestinians are still mad that their great great grandparents had to move a few miles after losing a war they started and now need to murder as many people as possible for the rest of time.
The Chief Constable of Essex Police said it was “madness” - the furore after two officers visited my house on Remembrance Sunday.
He described it as “just a five-minute conversation with a journalist”.
There is no “just” about a visit from the police. It is deliberately intimidating and an attack on free speech.
I was accused of a serious offence under the Public Order Act for posting a tweet, a year earlier. No one thinks the tweet came anywhere near the threshold for criminal investigation.
The CPS threw the case out but the process is the punishment.
In the same week, a 15-year-old boy was robbed at knifepoint a few miles from me. Terrified, he called the police and was told it was no longer a live incident!
Feisty tweet - police visit. Knife crime - you’re on your own, mate.
Police now think it’s their business to advise and to lecture to enforce “values”. Usually on the basis of an allegation by a “protected characteristic”.
They look increasingly sinister and ridiculous. They need to return to policing.
Allister did nothing wrong and I hope he joins me in suing the police.
Innocent, decent people must take a stand against tyranny,
Thank god for @SpeechUnion
Do join today if you haven’t already.
@radio_bellers@GeorgeHQ_X A baseless character attack from the Labour Party against its political opponents while at the highest level the Labour party was internally compromised for the last 35 years?
The real reason cultural enforcers like German state media are running their half-hearted anti-AC campaign, is that the energy transition has weakened the electricity grid so badly that widespread AC use would overburden it.
Chinese people are trolling Europeans by posting videos on social media showing that even their pigs have air conditioning, while many Europeans can’t because of government rules.
A small village of just 800 people in Palestine is set to receive 3,750 Jewish settlers, outnumbering the locals 5:1.
This is genocide! 🤬
Oh, they're Africans being moved into an English village? Then it's totally fine 🤗
If I say this man is "from a rapey paedo culture", I'm a racist. But he can defend himself in court by saying he's "from a rapey paedo culture". Make it make sense.
If you have a student loan in the UK it’s not actually a loan that appears on your credit file it’s basically a graduate contribution tax administered by the government. It taken as an extra 9% via the tax system, and is dropped after 30 years if you didn’t manage to pay it off. Some of the more recent loans were issued at such high interest rates and with the salaries here being so low, many people will be paying an extra 9% for most of their adult working lives. The charts looking at income tax alone ignore this. Some of them even ignore national insurance tax too.
@Channel4News “There is no two-tier policing” says the National Black Police Association. The National White Police Association couldn’t be reached for comment on account of it not existing.
🇳🇱 Migrants in Rotterdam film themselves assaulting a young Dutch kid and stealing his bike while laughing with zero remorse.
This is everyday life in Rotterdam now.
Brussels still says that the problem in Europe is the far right. Judge it yourself.
@aljhlester@ShipleyWrites@ChrisEClark "Maori"
This was written over a century prior to the Maori colonisation of New Zealand.
The idea that there is no indigenous populations of Britain is beyond ridiculous
@aljhlester@ShipleyWrites So in your view, a Somalian economic migrant on a dinghy has an equal claim to “Englishness” because the native population are also “immigrants” - just ones who just happened to arrive thousands of years ago ?
@aljhlester@ShipleyWrites The assertion that “because Saxons arrived in AD380” we are therefore a US-style “nation of immigrants” would only make sense in the mind of someone uneducated in civilisational history, or entirely intellectually dishonest.
The implications of this worldview are really sinister
Dries has just been convicted again: This time for speaking the truth about the disastrous consequences of mass migration.
The most insane part is that the Belgian court even admitted Dries spoke the truth, as what he said was factual, but deems it a crime because it could incite hatred. Let that sink in.
They’re criminalizing the truth and they’re using Dries to set an example.
Let’s come together to help him. Dries is a young father, a brave patriot and the Belgian establishment has been trying to destroy him for years. He’s taken so many hits, he really deserves our help.
Guy rolls up on a scooter to defend a bike thief from getting caught.
"Stop! You don't need to do this!"
Thief gets up. Tries to steal his scooter.
Reality is the fastest teacher alive.
@paulbristow79 This has aged like a fine wine.
@SteveBakerFRSA has been absolutely vindicated in 22 months. The only thing he got wrong was that instead of austerity Reeves has chosen to set us on the road to bankruptcy instead.
