[Dr. Sydney Watson @SydneyLWatson]

Don't act surprised that two MUSLIMS have, once again, murdered a bunch of innocent civilians.

They make it pretty fucking clear how they feel and their intentions every time they open their fucking mouths.

Nothing will change, though. We'll put up more street bollards to stop them driving into Christmas parades. Will make it harder for everyone to get guns. Hell, Australia might even be dumb enough to do another gun buy-back.

But the actual problem here won't be addressed. Because "tolerance" and "diversity." Because "but, but, but, moderates :("

There will be shit loads of your "moderates" sitting in their homes cheering amongst themselves, so pleased a bunch of Jews were murdered. They'll praise the killers in their mosques.

Islam is incompatible with the West. It is incompatible with human life. How much more of this needs to go on before we stop pretending it can exist in Western countries?

"Our" saintly NHS and the consequence of not doing your job properly.

I took my mum to the dentist. While she was in the chair she had a stroke. I got called into the dentist’s room and she was just lying in a heap on the floor. The dentist (a qualified medical doctor) had recognised it immediately and had rung 999 repeatedly, explained the situation clearly, and begged for an ambulance. We kept ringing and ringing. They wouldn’t come. They wouldn’t even listen to a doctor. What hope did I have?
With no ambulance coming and my mother deteriorating on the floor, we had no choice. We carried her to my car. A dental nurse who was there jumped in with us because I didn’t know the quickest way to the hospital. I drove, talking to Mum the whole time, keeping my voice normal, telling her not to worry, acting like nothing was wrong. She mumbled, “Oh don’t worry Jo, I’ll live.” Those were her last words to me.
I roared up to A&E. The dental nurse ran inside to get help. I waited in the car, but no one came out. It felt like ages. I had to lift my unconscious mother out of the back seat in a fireman’s lift and carry her to the doors while screaming for help. A nurse told me not to handle her like that because I might cause damage – The brass neck. (I think of that idiot most days)
Our NHS finally placed her on a bed and wheeled her away without telling me where they were taking her. I did ask but no one answered. I gave her details at the front desk and explained my car was half on the pavement outside. The woman at the desk told me not to worry, she would sort it so that I didn’t get a ticket.
They put me in a side room, a windowless cupboard, just out of sight of all the many, many trolleys with people on them in the corridor. I sat there for what felt like about 30-45 minutes. No one came. They’d forgotten about me. I went to get water because I couldn’t just sit there, but then I worried and so I came back and waited some more. Finally, going back to the front desk, I asked, “Where’s my mum?!?”
I heard hushed talk, then someone walked me down to another area. She was still in the same bed I’d seen her wheeled away in, pushed to the side of the room with people walking all around her like she was in the way. I kept asking what was going on, but no one answered and just put a curtain around the bed. My brother arrived then; I’d managed to get hold of him while I was stuck in the cupboard. We stood there crying, in total shock, wondering what the hell was going on. No one was doing anything. A woman was lying there having had a massive stroke, and we were just looking at each other, helpless.
I don’t know how much time passed, but eventually we were moved to another department in a private room.
We sat with her through the night. I was at the side of her bed stroking her hand but also not wanting to because I knew that would have really annoyed her. I told her I loved her but didn’t want to go on too much because I didn’t want to scare her. At about 2 am I knew she had died.

The nurse sent me home with a plastic bag of her urine-stained clothes.

This is what happens when millions use a service they never paid a penny into while the people who funded it their whole lives are left to die without dignity.
This is what happens when rigid red tape matters more than a doctor screaming down the phone that someone is having a massive stroke.
This is what happens when common sense is banned and box-ticking is king.
This is what happens when the job is not done properly.
This is the consequence.

PS. I got a parking ticket.

British Jews don’t strap bombs to ourselves and blow up kids at concerts.

British Jews don’t drive cars into civilians or police before getting out to stab them.

British Jews don’t blow ourselves up on the London Underground.

British Jews don’t detonate ourselves on Central London buses.

British Jews don’t strap knives to our wrists and rampage through London’s markets massacring revellers.

British Jews don’t hack British soldiers head’s off on our streets.

British Jews don’t drive Jeeps loaded with propane canisters into Glasgow Airport.

British Jews don’t stab people at Victoria station while shouting Jewish slogans.

British Jews don’t stab multiple people in Forbury Gardens while shouting “God is Great”

British Jews don’t stab MPs during constituency surgeries.

British Jews don’t detonate homemade bombs in taxis near Women’s Hospitals.

We love being British.

It’s why we’re told from a young age that we’re British Jews. Not Jewish Brits.

Our marches wave Union flags.

We say a prayer for the King and Royal Family in our sabbath services and religious festivals.

We sing God Save The King at our weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs.

UK society has been gaslit.

You’re looking in the wrong direction.

@Jebadoo2 ‘Why does it boil down to toilets, tee hee hee?’ It doesn’t, Lorraine. It boils down to intact male rapists in female prisons, men using supposedly female-only rape crisis centres, the decimation of women’s sport and the authoritarian attacks on freedom of speech and belief.

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

My 2.5 year old daughter was searched at the airport today. Security frisked her on the front and the back. Had to hold her both ways. Took her shoes off, swabbed them.

2,000 men came across the channel in small boats this week and didn't get searched.

All I'm asking for is for adult males from violent misogynistic medieval cultures to be treated as if they're the same level of threat as a 2 year old British girl.

[Owl of Athena 🇮🇱🎗️🐿️ @owl_elc]

1/The relationships: we are meant to see them all as testaments to the power of love, but each and every one stands out to me as a testament to something toxic.

No, I don't think it's cute that the PM of England has a thing for a staff member at #10 the instant he sees her, to the point where he has her reassigned.

No, I don't think it's funny or cute that Colin travels to the USA to have sex with random "hot chicks."

No, I don't think it's touching and sweet that the Hobbit finds love as a stand in for graphic sex scenes in other movies.

No, I don't think there's ANYTHING healthy or heartwarming about Laura Linney's relationship ship with her on-screen brother. That is pure altruism at its most self-harming.

No, I don't think it's normal or healthy to rebound from being cheated on by falling head over heels with someone with whom you literally can't communicate (Colin Firth's Jamie), and no, I don't think night classes in Portuguese gives you sufficient language skills to build a marriage around. It's pure wishful thinking, and kind of creepy too as he's so obviously damaged.

No, I don't think there's anything uplifting about watching Emma Thompson's marriage come apart because her husband, Alan Rickman's character, allows himself to be seduced by an obvious harlot (who should have been fired in the first scene).

No, I don't think there's anything winsome about watching a stalker obsess over his best friend's wife to the point of showing up at their door, telling her to LIE about who it is, and then professing his undying love to her. Her kissing said stalker was the poison icing on that cake.

No, I don't think Bill Nighy and his manager are cute either. Giving up going to Elton's place on New Year's Eve so you can sit and get drunk with your manager isn't "love." I'm not sure what that is...Loneliness? Realizing the women hanging all over you are young enough to be your GRANDDAUGHTERS? Being tired and bored maybe? But it's not "love."

Finally, as lovely as the relationship between Liam Newsom and his stepson is, and as much as I commend the kid for learning to play the drums so fast, this emphasis on love-at-first-sight OBSESSION is a big part of what's wrong with people's expectations of real life relationships. It's cute, until you realize how mainstream it is to believe this is as one SHOULD feel, and it's just not.

If you wanted to create vignettes of all the seemingly "normal" relationships that are NOT "love, actually," you couldn't do a better job.

To be fair, one of my biggest concerns is women and girls rights. There are lots of strings attached to that including immigration, culture, etc.

The pedophile grooming gangs was the biggest cover up this country saw and that has changed nothing in a meaningful way. Women are still losing their rights to single sex spaces, they are still being abused, raped, murdered. There are women in this country who are religiously oppressed. You can say its their choice, is it their choice when it's all they know or allowed to know? Is it their choice when their freedoms are prohibited? Is it a battered wife's choice to stay with an abusive partner? Or are they manipulated?
3 little girls lost their future to yet again, another man. Specifics of that are being hidden from us to manipulate us into silence and keep women 'under control'

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

The news cycle happens so fast, they want us to forget reality and blame a far right boogeyman…

Do not forget the soldier stabbed outside the barracks.

Do not forget the 3 murdered girls and their 6 friends and carers horrificly injured.
Do not forget the 11 yer old girl stabbed in Leicester Sq.
The grandma at the bus stop..
The 14 year old schoolboy Hainaut. the 2 women in Bournemouth

The attack on the Rochdale police station. The Harehills arson and riots.

By forgetting these they invent a myth about “far right” and can avoid addressing real issues

They want to blame everything

Most people who smoke are working class. He doesn't want those grotty plebs congregating and talking.

The uniparty have been after pubs for years - when people sit down and talk, hash things out and share opinions, you can't control what they might do next.

The best revolutions started in pubs and churches.

If I hear another liberal white woman virtue signal her loyalty to the trans cult by saying, “How does it affect you personally if a man wants to call himself a woman?” I might scream.

How does it affect me personally? Let me count the ways!

When, as a single mom, I got fired from my job of 17 years for opposing naked men in the girls’ locker room, it affected me personally…

When I had a baby on my hip as I entered a rest stop bathroom to change a diaper only to be confronted by a hulking monstrosity of a man in womanface, it affected me personally.

When I have to be hyper vigilant at my daughter’s track meets to make sure she’s not being tricked into racing against boys, it affects me personally.

When I attend my son’s high school choir concert, and my ears are assaulted by the presence of a baritone voice in the soprano section, it affects me personally.

It affects me when my kids get ostracized for refusing to play make believe with the gender cult at school.

It affects me personally when I read about battered women being raped by men in dresses who infiltrated their shelters.

It affects me personally when I watch men transjack women’s already limited athletic opportunities.

It affects me personally when my kids’ friends decide they want to chop off their breasts and escape their sexed bodies.

It affects me personally when feminism- the movement that is SUPPOSED to exist to help me- has been completely overtaken by the very pornsick men from whom we need respite in the first place.

It’s cute that you want to be an ally, but you’ve actually slid into handmaiden territory.

Give your head a good shake and snap out of it.
