It is pointless trying to understand the contemporary British media complex as ‘media’ in the conventional sense—journalism, reporting, or even opinion. The correct frame is propaganda: mood and sentiment management, with its sharpest tool today being crisis communications.

The dominant technique, visible daily if you still watch, is inversion—systematic reversal. It flips reality: victim into perpetrator, aggressor into defender, truth into falsehood, good into evil. It constructs Walter Lippmann’s ‘pseudo-environment’, an alternate reality in which the public is meant to dwell.

A key subtype is projection, or ‘accusation in a mirror’, neatly summarised by a Rwandan Hutu propagandist in a 1990s manual: impute to your enemies exactly what you and your own side are planning or doing.

When a genuine crisis erupts—such as the racially aggravated murder of Henry Nowak—the first imperative of the machine is to stall, dampen, and defeat the natural eruption of public outrage.

Call it ‘restoring calm’ if you like the euphemism. In practice, it means herding people back into anaesthetised normality so that inversion can resume.

Once the majority has been shamed, distracted, or bullied into silence, the remnant still angry can be ridiculed by the usual chorus—eye-rolling panellists on Have I Got News for You, columnists sneering at those ‘harping on’, and accusations of crypto-racism or worse.

Thus, the brutal stabbing of an unarmed 18-year-old student, the false cry of racism by his killer, and the police reportedly handcuffing the dying boy as he bled out on a Southampton street is repackaged as another ‘knife crime’ tragedy (note Shaban Mahmood’s flaccid parliamentary statement this afternoon)—preferably illustrated with a generic white face in the style of the BBC's so-called reality-based drama 'Adolescence' or the more recent but equally putridly manipulative 'The Capture'.

Real patterns (grooming gangs, crime disparities, two-tier policing) are airbrushed. This is projection at work: the actual sources of predation and institutional failure are recast, while legitimate grievance is pathologized.

The truth? The system enabled both the attack and the immediate inversion of its aftermath and that stands exposed to anyone with eyes and functioning brain by the video evidence. That’s the problem, your own 'lying eyes', that crisis communications has to handle before there can be a return to normal levels of public mood management can be restored.

This is precisely what Dan Hodges is performing when he labels people demanding we talk about the murder ‘scum’ for refusing to respect the family’s wish that their son’s death not be politicised. It is phase-one grunt work in the inversion protocol: shame the angry back into silence so the pseudo-environment can be restored.

Smart enough to know his role, malleable enough to perform it willingly—exactly as Noam Chomsky described the filtering process that keeps the right sort of voice prominent in the system.

The technique still works on some. But it is wearing thin. Every overplayed inversion, every *scummy* dismissal of raw public grief, prepares the ground for sharper identities and clearer grievances against the system itself. Normal people do not remain moderate forever when the machine insists their reality is the problem.

Diesel is nudging towards 173p a litre. Filling up a family car now costs the best part of ninety pounds. UK energy costs are four times higher than in the United States.

Factories are shutting. Investment is leaving. Jobs are disappearing. And the Ministers responsible for our energy security want to ban new diesel vehicles by 2035. No credible plan. Just a deadline and an ideology.

In terms of logistics, the RHA surveyed over 500 firms last year. Seven in ten HGV operators have no plans to add zero emission vehicles to their fleets. The costs are enormous and the EV charging infrastructure does not exist. These are not fringe voices. These are the people who move Britain’s food, medicine and materials every day. Ask manufacturers, farmers, construction firms too. Battery electric technology, at the scale this government is mandating, is simply not ready. No subsidy changes that. What subsidies do is funnel taxpayer money into a market that cannot function and pretend that counts as governing.

Reeves, Red Ed and Labour shut down our own energy, they’ve blocked North Sea drilling, and forced reliance on expensive foreign imports. They then act surprised when bills explode. This is not climate policy, it’s national economic self-harm.
Other nations back their own energy, keep costs competitive and get on with it. Britain punishes its own industries and imports from the very countries it lectures on carbon, and leaves its own rich reserves untouched.

That is not leadership. It is ideology. In times like these, every UK family is paying the price.

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

Ed Miliband has a cult-like conviction in his own climate ideology.

He is incapable of admitting that he is wrong – even with mountains of evidence stacking up against him.

As the world gets more dangerous, his anti-North Sea fanaticism is making Britain weaker and poorer.

Unfortunately, as more and more people sound the alarm, Miliband only becomes more convinced by his own righteousness.

Today, the Conservatives will force a vote in Parliament calling for the emergency approval of the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in the North Sea – two fields that could be up and running by the end of the year.

Turning our backs on domestic gas that could heat millions of homes would be madness in normal times, but it is sheer lunacy in the midst of a gas supply crisis.

In government, I legislated to protect North Sea oil and gas licences and I approved Rosebank, even though I was told it would have put my own personal security at risk from climate extremists.

It was controversial at the time, but to say times have changed would be an understatement.

From the wind lobbyists at RenewableUK to the chair of Great British Energy - Miliband’s “clean energy” propaganda outfit - the head honchos of the green lobby say we should drill.

The great and good of the Labour Left, from the Tony Blair Institute to the unions and Ed Balls, say so, too.

The relative geopolitical stability we have had for most of my adult life is not something we can bank on in the years ahead.

We need to pass on a country to the next generation that is strong and prosperous. That means making economic decisions based on rationality, not ideology.

The North Sea is a blessing for our economy. When gilt markets are charging you a premium because they think we’re borrowing too much and earning too little, it is incumbent on the Exchequer to make the most of all growth opportunities we have.

It is a blessing for our energy security, with the gas making up half of our domestic supply.

But it is also a blessing for our environment, as the North Sea is much cleaner than importing LNG from abroad.

However, for Miliband to admit this would expose the intellectual fraud at the heart of our net zero climate policy.

Miliband’s agenda rests on the absurdity that carbon emissions only matter if they happen domestically. It incentivises the replacement of British industry with dirtier imports from abroad.

The fact that North Sea gas displaces dirtier LNG doesn’t matter to our climate bean counters because foreign LNG imports aren’t counted in our domestic emissions targets.

This is Net Zero irrationality in a nutshell.

Fewer jobs in Britain for more carbon in the atmosphere – and yet to the religiously fervent, they will argue that this is Britain’s example of climate success.

This is fantasy thinking we cannot afford.

We must fast-track Rosebank and Jackdaw and lift the onerous bans and taxes on the North Sea to back Britain’s energy security.

Kemi Badenoch knows it and Keir Starmer knows it. Unfortunately, so far, only one of them has had the courage to say so.

⚠️PLEASE PLEASE RETWEET THE HELL OUT OF THIS KITTEN ABUSER

🚨 BEN MURKIN, ELY

⚠️KNOW HIS FACE⚠️

A sadistic animal abuser has avoided prison after inflicting catastrophic injuries on a kitten after throwing it at a wall, a door and down the stairs.

Ben Murkin, of Mill Lane, Fordham, Ely, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on March 6 to be sentenced in a prosecution brought forward by the RSPCA.

On March 6, 2024, a veterinary practice was contacted by a family member who said Murkin's cat Whisper had fallen and was struggling to breathe.

By the time they arrived at the practice with Whisper, the kitten had already passed away after being in immense pain and suffering.

Whisper's death was reported to the RSPCA after concerns about the injuries.

An independent post mortem found that Whisper had suffered injuries including a bruised head, a left eye haemorrhage, reddening and bruising of the tail area, and multiple injuries to limbs, consistent with a strong human grip.

Murkin claimed the injuries occurred when he was carrying out CPR.

The post mortem also found evidence of current and old rib fractures and a fracture on the lumber vertebrae.

He had also ignored advice from the bet to bring the cat back on two occasions.

These included after bringing in the kitten for limping after a supposed fall in December 2023 and in February 2024 after treatment for a fractured tooth and red gums.

Some of the specific acts of cruelty detailed in court included kicking Whisper against a wall, picking her up by the tail and throwing her down the stairs, and throwing Whisper against the door.

The expert vet concluded in their report: “It is my expert opinion that clearly Whisper suffered as a result of the injuries she sustained however they were caused.

She sustained multiple and severe injuries both to her lip and upper canine, to her ribs on the right hand side and then to her face, chest and abdomen in the final incident.

“All of these will have caused her to suffer pain and distress. The final set of injuries the duration of the suffering will only have lasted as long as she remained conscious which is likely to have been a short period of time.

“It is my expert opinion that the injuries sustained by Whisper were the result of deliberate and intentional trauma inflicted upon her by a person with the intention of her causing her serious harm and suffering.”

The court heard he got Whisper with his girlfriend as emotional support as he was lonely. When the relationship ended, he started to resent the cat. The judge described Murkin's actions as an "extraordinary response".

The judge noted this had been "astonishing cruelty to an animal" and said Murkin had committed other acts of physical violence on the cat.

The offence was placed in the highest category because the injuries were "prolonged and repeated, inflicted with significant force, and resulted in death".

Murkin had pleaded guilty to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to Whisper by inflicting trauma causing injury and for failing to provide prompt veterinary treatment, in respect of the injury to the cat’s gums and fractured canine tooth.

He was given a 22-month prison sentenced that has been suspended for 18 months.

He has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and 20 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days.

He has been banned for keeping all animals for life and was ordered to pay £500 court costs and £187 victim surcharge.

RSPCA Inspector Emily Astillberry said: "The actions in this case were of astonishing cruelty to a defenceless animal. It is heart-breaking to hear what Whisper - this small ragdoll kitten - had to endure such cruel and sustained suffering. She was still so young when she died and had to endure such pain and suffering during this short life.”

Whilst you were all busy with the Epstein news, Mad Ed has unleashed fresh Hell on the UK

He’s handed subsidies to 134 new solar farms across England and 23 in Wales and Scotland AND approved 28 large wind farms, mostly on Scottish and Welsh hillsides. On prime agricultural land!

All of which bill payers and tax payers will fund. Without our money these businesses aren’t even viable.

You are watching the economic and cultural bankrupting of a nation in real time… it’s like a horror movie 🚨

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

A few reflections on our first week of inquiry hearings.

Firstly, and I’ll be entirely honest, it’s harder than I thought it would be.

I cannot adequately describe the evil that these girls have gone through. Rape doesn’t do it justice.

It’s torture, it’s abduction, it’s war.

What strikes me is the consistency of the testimonies. It’s the same playbook, almost every time. We suspect there is FAR more coordination than is currently understood. Far more. The same names come up, with the same tactics, in the same towns. They are organised. More organised than we know. It’s almost like a well-drilled army. And it continues today, make no mistake about that.

What’s so difficult is that the men use both physical and psychological torture to beat these girls into submission. They accept it. They believe it’s the right thing for them. That’s what makes it so wicked for families. Some have been fortunate, escaping or being extracted. But how many haven’t? How many remain trapped, today? Some even overseas. How many girls have been abducted to Pakistan?

Where honestly, the thought of their life there is too much to even start to comprehend.

One woman we spoke to was raped by 600 - 700 men in England. What would be happening to them there?

The systemic failures across the police, NHS, social care, local politics, councils - specific and brutal examples of how these officials just did not care. Even worse, actively enabled the rape.

Of course the girls hold such deep hatred for their rapists, but actually for many the true anger is aimed at the state. I understand that. These were the people tasked to defend them, and they failed in the most brutal way.

As I have said, we are identifying targets for private prosecutions and other legal action - this will cover the rapists, accomplices and public officials who deliberately turned the other way, or worse.

One message is clear - the Muslim community needs to do far more to root these people out. I don’t believe the reaction is anywhere near strong enough. We had one testimony this week of the imam being fully aware of what was happening, but did nothing. This comes up again and again. Nobody wants to say it, but it’s true. I want to see these so-called ‘community leaders’ very vocally act.

The vast scale of the rape is impossible to comprehend.

It was everywhere. It is everywhere.

These are just my thoughts, but everything will be put into a comprehensive report by our legal team.

It’s been a challenging week for the team, and I want to say thank you to all involved - particularly our safeguarding team who are working all hours to ensure the survivors have the support they need. Everything we are releasing has the full permission of the individuals involved, and we are taking absolutely zero risks with any release. The safety and wellbeing of the participants is our only priority.

Thank you to all of our donors who made this possible, and those who continue to give. It is appreciated. It will be well spent, I promise you that.

And to the survivors who have put themselves forward to stop the same fate happening to others - you’re doing more good than you will ever know.

[Robson Thomson @RobsonThomson]

That's a really great question, you're clearly thinking about this the exact right way, you must be a fucking genius.

[Fiona Rose Diamond @CoviLeaks]

When this UK ban becomes law, it will require age verification for everyone over 16 to ensure under 16s can’t access social media. That means all social media users would need to prove their age by uploading an ID (passport/drivers licence) and biometric data - all under the guise of protecting children.

Unless we stop this, we are being steered toward a forced choice: comply, or be pushed offline and silenced... again. And make no mistake, silence is the objective. If dissent cannot speak, it cannot spread. If it cannot spread, it cannot organise. That is not an accident; it is the design.

Some will say, "Just leave the system. Join a community. Become self-sustaining." That sounds comforting, but it is temporary, and it is naïve. You really think opting out makes you invisible? That power structures politely stop at the edge of a commune? History shows the opposite. Withdrawal does not equal freedom when control keeps expanding. Believing otherwise is wishful thinking, not strategy.

So ask yourselves; how do we organise, mobilise, and resist without communication at scale? Those who were active in 2020 already felt this. We’ve lived it. When accounts were suspended, pages wiped, reach throttled for weeks or months, momentum died. Networks fractured. Messages stalled...

This isn’t hypothetical. Digital gatekeeping is already normalised. Company directors. Benefits claimants. OneLogin. Centralised access. Centralised compliance by stealth, coercion and exclusion.

Now this under 16's ban means digital ID checks for anyone wanting to keep social media. The pattern is clear if you’re willing to look at it.

The fight is not about 'living online.' But it’s about losing the ability to speak to one another at scale. Social media is not freedom... but it is a tool. And tools matter in asymmetrical fights - where the two sides do not have equal 'power', resources, or tools. You don’t win by discarding these tools out of principle while your opponent controls every other channel.

In my view, the answer isn’t retreat. It’s leverage. Use social media deliberately, strategically and without worshipping it... but without surrendering it either. Because once that space is gone, getting it back won’t be an option.

This is the moment where pretending it doesn’t matter becomes the biggest risk of all.

We must resist this ban - it's the prelude to digital ID for all.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Everything costs more, so much more and Britain is getting poorer, so much much poorer. People can feel it - it’s a pretty dreadful combination. Food’s more expensive, energy bills soaring, a pint costs six quid outside Central London. Childcare, insurance, mortgage payments. It’s everything and it is bloody awful. Inflation MUST come down.

It doesn’t feel like anyone’s got any answers. Well, there is one. The only one.

Brutally slash tax, radically tear away vast swathes of the state and eventually rebuild national resilience/confidence.

There is no easy solution. We are in deep, dark shit.

There is no other way to describe it. It will be painful. Very painful. Politicians need to be honest about that.

Britain has the highest tax burden since the Second World War. Millions are working harder than ever, yet becoming poorer every single month. Inflation runs rampant. The cruellest tax of them all.

Are we surprised it’s exploded? The Government printed hundreds of billions during lockdown, shut down the economy, wrecked supply chains, raised taxes on work and investment, and then acted totally baffled when prices soared. What happens if you inject such huge amount of money into a system? It all becomes worth less. This is obvious. It’s called ‘quantitative easing’, a fancy way of saying printing money and we need to ban it.

Inflation is a cancer. A tax that wipes out wages, savings, pensions. It makes life more expensive.

Here is the honest truth. You cannot fight inflation by taxing people more and growing the state.

You can only fight inflation by cutting the size of the state itself.

If we want to bring down the cost of living, we need to start telling the truth.

The state is too big, too bloated, too expensive and too incompetent. The debt is too vast.

The rich don’t suffer. It’s the poor who feel it. THAT is why we must change. Urgently.

In 25/26 it’s expected debt interest spending to total £111.2 billion. That’s 8.3% of total public spending and is equivalent to over 3.7% of national income. Think about that. If your family’s debt interest payments equalled that, how would you cope? Bankruptcy, is the answer. Britain is going bankrupt. We spend more on debt interest than defence. It is INSANE. We are spending too much, far too much. Try running a business like that. Good luck.

How do we fix it?

A pound taken by government is a pound removed from the productive economy, and fed to the unproductive state.

Cut taxes on work.

Income Tax down. Raise the thresholds. Farage now backtracking on this (huge error).
National Insurance down.
Let people keep more of what they earn.
REWARD HARD WORK.

Cut taxes on business.

Cut Corporation Tax - lowest in Europe. Reduce Business Rates.
Slash Employers’ NI so firms can hire again.
Ease dividend thresholds.
Tear away the frictional costs of doing business. Lubricate the system. Make Britain the easiest place in Europe to do business.
Tax breaks for long term investment.
When businesses produce more, supply goes up - and prices come DOWN.
This is basic economics.

Slash the size of the state.

Brutally. And I mean brutally.
Billions and billions in cuts. Right across the board - welfare in particular. If you can work, you MUST work. Support those in genuine need, but that is a vanishingly small number compared to current spend. Ban foreigners from claiming any benefits.
Asylum costs, foreign aid, dependent migrants. It all has to go.
Civil service pensions. Unsustainable. Need to be dealt with. It’s a time bomb.
We need Government to do a small list of things, but do it well. Protect our borders, people, interests.

Rebuild national resilience.

Build energy independence so families aren’t battered. We import SO much energy.
Drill baby, drill. Frack. Use what we have. Drive the cost of energy down, and everything else follows. This is not complicated.
Food security so supply chains can’t be held hostage. GROW MORE. Cost comes down, again this is not complicated.
A skilled British workforce so productivity rises and dependence on vast low-wage migration ends - target education. Reward businesses who train and develop apprentices.
Deport the millions of migrants who take more than they give. It is not our responsibility to financially support much of the third world. We have our own people and our own problems, thanks.
Ban money-printing, without Parliament’s express consent.
Crucially, tackle crime. Give people confidence to invest and reduce insurance costs. SO important.

Britain must become a country that lives within it means. Not spending more than we earn. In fact, raising enough to begin paying off that debt, and reducing those interest payments.

The cost of living crisis will only be solved by stripping back the state that is crushing our country.

There is no other way. The left will say ‘tax the rich’? The rich will leave. They are leaving. It’s already happening. They go, and take their tax revenue with them. This is OBVIOUS.

You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.

Collectivism ALWAYS fails.

We need cuts, cuts and then more cuts. Trust the people who actually work, build, produce and create. Give them the space they need to thrive, and we’ll all benefit. Generate wealth. Attract success. Cut inflation. Breed confidence.

It’s quite straightforward.

This is how we lower the cost of living. Put more money in people’s pockets. Rebuild the British economy. Make you and your family richer.

It can be done, it will just take balls.
