🚨BREAKING: UK GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUTUBE ALGORITHM

This is pure authoritarianism

Keir Starmer's/Andy Burnham's Government is set to control the YouTube algorithm by LAW stipulating that they must push "APPROVED CONTENT" to UK Citizens

And independent voices who criticise the government will be pushed to the back of the queue making it harder for people to find

YouTube has acknowledged this is happening

This must be stopped

[James McMurdock MP @JMcMurdockMP]

I can’t let this go unchallenged.

That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault.

The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.

The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence.

What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim.

The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier.

In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!

Your phone charger can electrocute a toddler who pokes a fork into the socket. The British plug cannot. That difference comes from a 1947 engineering project that refused every shortcut and turned a household plug into one of the most deliberately safe objects ever mass-produced.

Britain published BS 1363 in 1947, built for the post-war housing boom. The country was wiring millions of new homes at once and needed one standard that would work safely for everyone. They picked the most paranoid option available.

The earth pin (the large top prong) is longer than the other two. When you push a British plug in, the earth pin goes in first. Inside the socket, it presses a lever that opens two metal shutters covering the live and neutral slots. A fork pushed into an empty British socket hits only shutters. The shutters block it.

The two conducting pins are also coated in plastic for their lower half. A plug halfway out of the wall is still safe to touch. You would have to pull it completely clear before any live metal is exposed.

Inside every plug is its own fuse. UK homes wire their sockets in a loop called a ring circuit, which runs at 32 amps, enough to melt a lamp's cord if the cord fails. So each plug carries a fuse matched to the appliance: 3 amps for a lamp, 13 for a kettle. When something goes wrong in your appliance's wiring, only that plug's fuse blows.

The standard US plug (flat two-pin or three-pin) has none of the pin coating and no individual fuse. American building codes began requiring shuttered outlets in new construction in 2008, decades after Britain made shutters standard. Even those newer shuttered versions lack pin coating and plug-level fuses.

Britain's plug is bulky because a fuse, a shutter mechanism, insulated pins, and three contact prongs all need room. The plug looks the way it does because safety engineers refused to sacrifice any of those features to make it smaller, and that decision is now 79 years old.

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister”

Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM.

He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

This is a despicable headline.

Noelia didn’t choose to die. She was coerced and pressured by her doctors. She was having second thoughts but was told her organs had already been “reserved.”

The Spanish state killed her to harvest her organs.

It’s MURDER.
Call it what it is.

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

18 year old Melika Azizi was just executed for opposing the Islamic Regime.

She was beaten, tortured, and held in solitary confinement for 45 days.

Her crime? Being an “enemy of Islam.”

So, to all Western liberals:

This is the regime you support.
Her blood is on your hands.

As an elected representative it is always a deep honour to play my part in the annual Remembrance Services. The freedoms we enjoy today were hard won by people willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Something which must never be forgotten.

The best video you'll see today.

Pro-Hamas idiots in Canada stormed a private pro-Israel event on campus, and unfortunately for them, they met an ex-IDF soldier who doesn't back down for anybody.

He threw them out one by one like the trash they are.

[Saskia @Saskiateague]

Will there ever be a final straw? Or does everyone have to be massacred first.

My heart breaks everyday for this country 💔

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

The silence is deafening. Civilian men, women, and children are being slaughtered in Sudan.

Estimates of over 150,000 killed & 14 million displaced since April 2023. Considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.

No mass protests. No daily political statements/demands. No college campus encampments.

🇫🇷 Far-left French politician Louis Boyard slyly takes off his Rolex worth approx. $50,000 before giving an interview ‘denouncing the ultra-rich’

Communists are the worst hypocrites.

@zarahsultana If Britain became a socialist country you'd criticise socialism just for the excuse to hate on the country. You're diluting any message by just being the complainer.

12-year-old Yagil Yaakov was forced to strip as Hamas terrorists dragged him into Gaza on October 7th.

Never forget how this war started.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

This was Caroline Bohl.

She was murdered by Hamas on October 7th.

Caroline Bohl will forever be 22.

Hamas has no right to exist.

If you were one of those doubtless well meaning middle class white people wearing a keffiyeh and chanting "Globalise the intifada" you really should know what happened in Manchester today is what you were calling for. That's EXACTLY what it involves.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Libby Cohen Meguri was a 22-year-old young woman, touring South America when she decided to cut the trip short to attend the Nova festival, surprising her family by coming home early one morning.

On October 7, Libby was shot while trying to escape.

At 8:11 AM, she called her parents and said:

“They shot me in the stomach. They shot me in the arm. I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.”

Calmly, quietly, she understood that these were her last moments. She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said:

“I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me. I love you, Yariv, you’re the best father I could have ever asked for.

Mom, stop screaming, just listen to me—you’re the best mother we could have had. Don’t forget to keep being a good mom to Tomer and Maya after I’m gone.

Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you.

My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.”

When she finished speaking, her parents begged her to get out of the car and played. She did, yet Hamas came back to shoot her again. They fired an entire round of bullets into her.

Her gravestone reads, “Our sunlight was extinguished.”

Never forget Libby.

May her memory forever be a blessing. 💔

[James Price @jamespriceglos]

I have resigned as the honorary secretary of the Oxford Literary Debating & Union Trust, the charity that owns the @OxfordUnion’s buildings, and dispenses its charitable responsibilities onto the Union as its delegate.

The callousness of the Union’s President-Elect has shocked me, but I also can't accept the lack of intervention on the issue.

The trust is full of the most incredible people. I hope this ultimately helps, in a tiny way, a great British institution that I care so much about.

[Emily Austin @Emilyaustin]

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still on HER side.

Mahsa Amini, may her memory be a revolution❤️‍🔥
