.@philgriff586 Sorry? Are you OK? Not properly awake? What on earth do you think I am saying? I KNOW that rail transport has been ripped up in most of the country . That’s what the map tells you. I want to put it back

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

2/2 .@philgriff586, as for rural areas, in the early 1950s I lived in a Dartmoor village called Yelverton. It had a direct railway line to Plymouth or (via Tavistock) to Exeter and London. All that has now been pulled up. I say 'put it back'. It doesn't have to be as it is now.

Death threats are very serious. Have you contacted the police?

TROLLING US 🤯🤦🏻‍♂️

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

Earlier today, the IDF identified a vehicle moving suspiciously toward IDF soldiers near the area of Tebnit in Lebanon.

The vehicle was traveling through an active combat zone that had been evacuated. The IDF had received concrete indications that Hezbollah would direct fire toward IDF soldiers from the same area. Additional intelligence and operational information indicate that Hezbollah conducts extensive terrorist operations in this area.

Following the identification of the vehicle, and in light of the concrete indication of Hezbollah fire in the area alongside the threat posed to the soldiers, the vehicle was struck.

An initial inquiry indicates that two officers and a soldier in the Lebanese Army were inside the vehicle. The incident is under review.

It should be emphasized that the area is an active combat zone, and movement in the area requires coordination with the IDF.

The IDF is reviewing the incident, and lessons will be learned accordingly. The IDF operates against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, not against the Lebanese Army.

It is the anniversary of D Day

Is this what they fought for?

[DK @DMK14]

@ClarkeMicah But if I think of all the pubs called The Railway, or the chain coffee cafés have have taken the place of where railway stations once stood.

I can imagine that it was, at the very least, vastly better than the train services on offer today.

@ClarkeMicah I'm not sure I'm in total lock step here with Mr Hitchens. I do like my car and the freedom it gives me.

BUT I would admit..

That freedom doesn't feel like freedom when you're stuck in a traffic jam.

And, I'm not old enough to have experienced railway stations everywhere.

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

Anti-rail and pro-car fanatics incessantly repeat that rail does not reach small settlements, as if this clinched their point. . This is not some ordained state of nature, but the direct result of a century of anti-rail, pro-car government policy

This. The trans lobby targeted women for a reason.

I'm programmed to protect my daughter above anything else and men in her space isn't that.

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

I leave home daily without a car. And get back again without one. If we restored our vandalised modern transport system, most people could do the same.

South Wales Police has instructed officers to log comments they feel are beyond "legitimate" criticism of Islam.

This is, exactly as I warned, a blasphemy law through the back door.

Nobody voted for this.

My letter to the Chief Constable👇🏾

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

South Wales Police are enforcing their own Islamic blasphemy law, 18 years after Parliament voted to abolish such laws.

The Free Speech Union has long warned that the Government’s official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hatred” — would silence legitimate criticism of Islam and encourage public bodies to go further.

South Wales Police have now instructed officers to record comments they deem to go beyond “legitimate” discussion of Islam. These will be logged as anti-social behaviour incidents and could be disclosed on an enhanced DBS check, potentially preventing people from getting a job.

The Free Speech Union has written to South Wales Police demanding that this guidance be withdrawn. If they fail to do so, we have warned that we will seek a judicial review.

As Shadow Equalities Minister @ClaireCoutinho wrote to the Chief Constable: “At a time of widespread concern about two-tier policing, your force is creating a separate and more restrictive category of speech that applies only in the context of one religion. This is not equal treatment under the law.”
