Sharia law has no place in modern society
It is the greatest threat to womens' rights in Britain & is used as a tool of oppression, victimisation & abuse
Our hypocritical politicians embraced "#MeToo", preach about women's rights & lecture British men about "toxic masculinity"...
whilst at the same time wilfully turning a blind eye to the rampant misogyny, oppression, sexual assault, domestic & honour based violence that exists within parts of the Muslim community - and which is enabled by some Sharia councils.
Sharia councils (which are completely unregulated) have condoned wife beating, told wives to reconcile with abusive husbands and dismissed the idea of "marital rape".
We live in an age of great leaps forward for humanity: Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, driverless cars, tourist trips to space etc. etc. It is preposterous that in such an advanced age, women's lives are still being ruled by medieval laws.
We are all equal under the law. One law for all. That principle must stand.
Why, then, is Britain the "Sharia capital" of the West? We have more Sharia councils than anyone else and British Muslims help set up Sharia councils in other Western countries.
60%-80% of Muslim marriages in the UK are Sharia only, with no civil registration (thus denying "wives" protection from English courts). This is the highest in the Western world.
Some morons will reply: "Sharia is voluntary and has no legal recognition or force in the UK".
Tell that to the Muslim women who are forced to go to Sharia councils and who are forced (by their religious leaders, their husbands, their families and their wider community) to accept the rulings - rulings made by ultra-conservative / extremist / Islamist men.
Many of these women aren't even aware that Sharia has no legal force or that English courts would come to a different ruling.
A party that does not pledge to tackle Sharia councils is a party that condones the oppression of women.
Me on @GBNews:
"Israeli forces have sealed tunnel entrances and instructed troops to operate in small units, amid fears that underground infrastructure could be used for ambush or abduction attempts." @Jerusalem_Post
https://t.co/xxOSF0dGCQ
"The source added that a similar scenario previously unfolded with Hamas operatives who were trapped in Rafah, and who ultimately were forced to emerge and either fight or surrender."
"The source emphasized that most of the entrances to the underground systems are camouflaged and difficult to locate."
The Russian leadership is now pulling more air defense assets to Moscow, Valdai, and Putin’s bridge across the Kerch Strait – at the expense of air defense elsewhere.
In the Moscow region alone, they have amassed hundreds of launchers for S-400, S-500, and Pantsir systems. Nearly 90 launchers have been redeployed to Valdai from other regions of Russia, and a special air defense division is also being formed there to safeguard the peace and quiet of the Russian chief.
To compare, there are only a couple of launchers per direction across Russia and around their other cities. Those are their priorities. They are protecting their power – the source of this war. More than 60 Russian regions are already experiencing fuel shortages. There has also been a sharp increase in gas and diesel prices – if they are available at all.
Russian security services have even proposed postponing or cancelling altogether the ritual of electing “United Russia” to the State Duma. Their latest imitation of elections was scheduled for September, and intelligence reports now show that Russia itself is not confident about what will be happening by September.
There are many difficulties – all because Putin refuses to end his war and to hear our proposals for a meeting, genuine negotiations, and a dignified peace.
We have Muslim fatigue.
The gang rapes.
The terrorism.
The killing of little girls who enjoy music.
The hatred of women and girls.
The special courts.
The anti semitism.
The hate preachers.
The marches.
The violence.
The call to prayer.
The public prayers.
The complaining about christian preachers.
The pauses in football games for skipping lunch.
The nicabs.
The school kids visiting mosques.
The ramadan lights.
The ramadan messages on TV and by public figures. The cruel slaughter.
The hatred of the West.
The hatred of women.
The barbarism.
The inbreeding.
The censorship.
The two tier justice.
The capture of our institutions.
We're tired of it.
Islam is a vile woman hating cousin marrying child rape appeasing death cult.
The majority in Russia is already taking issue with Putin because there is no end in sight to his war. And all the hardships Russians are facing today should bring them closer to the realization that their war is real, that it's not just "stones falling from the sky,” and that their war must end.
Today, as every year on June 22, there will be a lot of grandstanding in Russia about World War II, about one of its bloodiest chapters – Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union. A time that for Ukraine has always been a reminder of the importance of peace and of paying tribute to millions of innocent victims of World War II. This was the very period in the 20th century that should have forever changed the way every state and the world as a whole view human life – establishing life itself as the true highest value. There would have been no world wars if the leaders of that era had been guided by the value of human life rather than their imperial delusions.
Yet today, Russia began this day not by honoring those who fell in World War II, and not with signals that could help bring the current war – Russia’s war against Ukraine – closer to an end. Instead, it began with more completely unjustifiable killings. In the Sumy region, a Russian drone killed a child, a grandmother, and a man. The mother and two other children from the same family were wounded. Their home was destroyed. An ordinary home – not a military target whatsoever. In Zaporizhzhia, two people were killed overnight by Russian strikes, and seven others were injured. Tragically, the Odesa region has also seen lives lost. Strikes were carried out against the Kherson, Donetsk, and Kharkiv regions. Once again, Russia targeted energy infrastructure in the Chernihiv region.
This Russian war has no justifiable cause. Putin was driven by exactly the same motives as the aggressors who came before him. He shows the same contempt for human life. He is just as delusional about this absurd “empire” of his that nobody needs. This war must be brought to an end. It has been taking people's lives for nearly five years now. This full-scale war has already lasted longer than World War I. Perhaps Russia wants to wait until it has lasted longer than World War II as well. But the world certainly does not want that, and it certainly has the power to prevent it. There must be pressure on Putin, pressure on Russia, so that all of this ends in a dignified peace and with real, guaranteed protection for human life. Ukraine has put forward every proposal needed for diplomacy. Through our collective pressure on the aggressor, we must bring Russia to a point where it has no option left but diplomacy and ending the war. Thank you to everyone helping us defend Ukraine. Thank you to everyone helping us protect human life.
Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.
The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world’s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.
Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.
I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.
Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.
@Keir_Starmer
Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm show on Amazon is the most radicalizing piece of mainstream media I’ve ever seen
Just one example (bear with me):
Badgers became a protected species in Britain 40+ years ago.
The population has exploded and now frequently transmits tuberculosis to cows
But farmers can’t cull the badger population to protect their cattle because the government still considers them to be endangered
Instead of addressing the root cause, the UK has the most batshit testing regime for cattle
There’s no TB vaccine. So the cattle have to get tested. The vets administering the test have to measure welts on the cows neck. Whether a cow lives or dies comes down to a vet trying to discern 1mm on a caliper (reactive vs non reactive).
If a cow tests positive, the farm (already running on super thin margins) is quarantined and starts hemorrhaging money.
Jeremy Clarkson’s cow (pregnant with twins) has an inconclusive test so it’s separated from the herd. It receives a second inconclusive test so they have to kill it (before it can give birth to the twins).
Now here’s the kicker: the autopsy reveals no sign of TB. It was a healthy cow needlessly killed
So - silver lining the farm should be removed from quarantine, right? WRONG - it’s still under quarantine and has to keep testing and can’t sell its beef
Kafkaesque doesn’t even begin to describe how f’d up it is for British farmers
It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.
From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.
You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:
- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel
Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.
Our long-range sanctions have reached Russia’s Tyumen region – another oil-processing facility, over 2,000 kilometers from our state border. An effective strike.
The job was carried out by the new, upgraded FP drones that can now reach targets at distances of 3,000 kilometers. I am grateful to the Fire Point engineers.
Our mid-range strikes against military targets in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine are also ongoing and having a real impact on Russian military logistics.
Last night, our long-range sanctions targeted the occupiers’ military logistics, oil industry, and air defense. All of this is a just response to Russia’s brutal attacks against our people. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Special Operations Forces for their successful work at a distance of about 300 kilometers from the frontline.
Facilities on both sides of the Crimean Bridge were hit: maritime logistics used to transport oil in the Krasnodar region and an oil depot in temporarily occupied Kerch. In addition, military logistics facilities were successfully struck, along with four radar stations belonging to S-400 systems and two Pantsir systems.
I am grateful to all our warriors for their precision and professionalism. Russia understands only strength, and our long-range strength is certainly working for peace. Glory to Ukraine!
