This morning I spoke at length to Claire Bryan on @bbcmerseyside about why I and the rest of the Hillsborough Law Now Campaign cannot support the Government’s watered-down Hillsborough Law Bill as it stands. #JFT97
In 1945, Solzhenitsyn was a decorated Soviet officer who made a small, private joke about Stalin in a letter.
The state opened it, read it, and treated it as a crime. Within weeks he was arrested and stripped of rank. He was fed into the camps, and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag.
The camps were designed to teach one lesson: say nothing, remember nothing, become nothing. He shoveled frozen concrete until his hands split and bled.
Years later, Solzhenitsyn would write, “Bless you, prison, for having been in my life.” It sounds insane until you understand what he meant. Prison showed him the truth of the regime in its purest form.
After his release, the punishment did not end. He lived under constant surveillance, moving from place to place, knowing that writing a single page could mean death. So he did not write. He memorized. Whole chapters of The Gulag Archipelago lived only in his head. Friends hid scraps of text. Wives memorized passages. For years the book existed only in human memory, as fragile and dangerous as a secret prayer.
When it was finally published, it did not argue that Soviet communism had gone too far. It showed that this was exactly where it led. Solzhenitsyn had learned that systems built on lies survive only if people agree to repeat them, and that the simplest refusal… to stop saying what you know is false… is the first and most dangerous act of resistance.
You couldn’t make it up. The urgent need for reform of the British media has just been perfectly exemplified by BBC Breakfast bringing on Kelvin MacKenzie to talk about integrity in journalism.
This is the individual who published truly horrific - and now completely discredited - lies and smears about Hillsborough victims and survivors in the S*n after the tragedy. Lies that continue to cause so much harm to so many even today.
Shame on BBC Breakfast.
@benonwine A morticians apprentice, destroying the farm and food industry, the people will run out, a lack of food, where it will requite a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread, ultimately the people will starve, policies not disimilar to Russia when parasites took over prior to WW1
🚨 IRELAND RISING — THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH
They called it a Rolling Vehicle Protest, but it’s much more than that.
It’s a nation’s roar — the sound of a people who will no longer be silent while their children suffer and their safety vanishes.
From Cork to Portlaoise.
From Dublin to Limerick.
Convoys of cars, trucks, and tractors are rolling across Ireland — united under one haunting cry:
#SheWasOnly10
For years, politicians promised “compassion.” Instead, they delivered chaos — open borders, rising violence, and shattered communities.
Now, ordinary Irish men and women — farmers, truckers, parents — are taking to the roads to say enough.
This is not hate.
This is heartbreak turned into action.
A demand for justice. A call to protect the innocent.
Flags are flying. Horns are blaring. The streets belong to the people again.
Ireland’s message to its leaders is clear:
The days of silence are over.
The safety of our children is not negotiable.

Today I am speaking at 2nd Reading of the #HillsboroughLaw.
This Bill must honour the 97, the families, survivors and every victim of state failure. It must not be watered down.
Anything less would be a continuation of betrayal - and we can’t let that happen.
#HillsboroughLawNow #JFT97
A council has passed a motion opposing the government's plans for compulsory digital ID calling it "a clear danger for our residents".
At a full council meeting, some members of Reform UK-controlled North Northamptonshire Council criticised the proposals and said a letter would be sent to the prime minister asking "that he abandon this ill-thought-out scheme".
Well done @NNorthantsC #NoToDigitalID
@steven_dimond@Nigel_Farage Where to start. We've been lied to by the media and politicians, most of our lives, whilst the slow creep of authoritarianism creeps in there is lack of community and cohesion, whilst our rights slowly get stripped back. Big fuel, Big farma, Big health, Corps and NGOs EU collude
@steven_dimond@Nigel_Farage Article 8 is the most worrisome with all that is digital being thrust upon us, this is all a scam and hyperbole, none of these people represent us article 8.
A right to a private and personal life.
We believe we're being given choices we're not. The UK people want accountability
Restore Britain has uncovered that the British Government has been spending our money quietly building Digital ID infrastructure, not just in Britain, but in foreign nations for a number of years.
Official documents start to tell us the story.
@Lewis_Brackpool has the details.
Next week marks the second reading of the Hillsborough Law.
A big step forward for all the families, survivors & campaigners.
I’m asking all MPs who signed my letter to the PM & the EDM calling for a true Hillsborough Law, worthy of the name, to participate & show their support.
We must ensure Parliament delivers the legislation that all victims of state cover-ups deserve.

@fionagoddarduk Maybe some of his colleagues and acquaintances are complicit in the cover up. Best speak to colleagues and ensure that you can enable an injunction.
⛔️ NO to compulsory Digital ID
We beamed the message on to Parliament, Tower Bridge and '10 Downing Street’
They keep trying - we won’t stop
Take action now: https://t.co/6cIMfafhe0
