If you're fine with mass surveillance because you're not doing anything wrong, wait until they redefine what "wrong" means.

[Sam @SamCKx]

If you spent a day on X, you’d believe that nearly ALL crime in the UK was committed by non-white people.

That’s not an accident. Accounts on here relentlessly amplify every crime committed by migrants and minorities, creating a completely distorted picture of reality. They ignore almost entirely a crime when the perpetrator doesn't fit the narrative they are paid to spread.

You are being conditioned to live in fear of these groups, so that when you are presented with a "solution" by parties like Reform and Restore, you will forego your common sense, and lend them support based purely on strong emotions like fear and anger.

The UK doesn't have specific demographic data in terms of convictions, but it does in terms of arrests.

The non-white UK population is approximately 21%. Approximately 21-22% of identified criminal suspects in the UK are non-white.

What do those figures demonstrate? That race and ethnicity do not determine criminality. Despite what your timeline is conditioning you to believe, being non-white is not a meaningful predictor that someone is a criminal.

You are being subjected to propaganda and manipulation.

These parties do not want to help you. They want your support, and they know fear and anger are powerful ways to get it.

So they lie, exaggerate and distort reality until you feel threatened enough to hand them power.

"Ce mensonge constant n'a pas pour but de faire croire au peuple un mensonge, mais de s'assurer que plus personne ne croit plus rien. Un peuple qui ne peut plus distinguer la vérité du mensonge ne peut pas distinguer le bien du mal. Et un tel peuple, privé du pouvoir de penser et de juger, est, sans le savoir et sans le vouloir, complètement soumis à la règle de mensonges. Avec un tel peuple, tu peux faire ce que tu veux."

Israeli soldiers returning from Gaza to the UK should be arrested for crimes against humanity and the crime of genocide.

British leaders should be considered complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity under international law.

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

Israeli defence minister Katz has issued a decree to execute any child flying a kite.
Don’t forget to remain silent about this!

Silence is complicity.
Silence is taking the side of the psychopaths.
Silence is taking the side of those committing genocide.

✅ 🇨🇦 Mark Carney’s answer to claims Canada has no choice but to capitulate to Trump: diversification through a deeper relationship with the EU.

“This fall we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership"

Canada already has CETA, but now wants a much stronger economic and security partnership with a market of 450 million people.

Meanwhile, Britain imposed Brexit on itself, abandoned privileged access to that same neighbouring market and became more exposed to Trump’s coercion.

Canada is responding to an unreliable America by moving closer to Europe. Britain responded by leaving Europe and making itself weaker.

One country understands that sovereignty comes through strong alliances. The other confused isolation with independence.

Never forget that had the Brexit referendum been mandatory it would have been annulled because of electoral fraud. Our political elite treated it as mandatory while exploiting the loophole of it being advisory. Mafia lawyers exploit legal loopholes, democratic governments must not.

This is just one of the abuses of democracy that led to Brexit.

[Sir Mike Jansen #FBPPR #FBPE #RejoinEU #PropRep @MikeJPretzel]

Please retweet so @andyburnham knows we want to #RejoinEU. Brexit was illegitimate economic, cultural and social suicide.

A reminder:

You can love Britain AND want refugees treated like human beings.

You can work hard AND support a strong welfare state.

You can run a business AND believe workers deserve decent wages.

You can be patriotic AND think billionaires should pay more tax.

None of this is radical.

It’s called having a society.

"Not a single person has been held accountable for their participation in genocide.

Meanwhile, opponents of genocide are sentenced as terrorists.

Please repost if you want Andy Burnham to work to restore our EU Freedom of Movement as soon as possible. It was robbed from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

I don't think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.

De Gaules

Quand il était président, Charles de Gaulle estimait que l’argent public devait être strictement intouchable.

Au Palais de l’Élysée, il était impensable que l’État prenne en charge la moindre dépense personnelle.

Son épouse, Yvonne de Gaulle, tenait un petit carnet dans lequel elle notait avec rigueur toutes les dépenses du foyer : électricité, nourriture, vêtements, savon… rien n’était laissé au hasard.

Chaque mois, le couple envoyait un chèque au Trésor public afin de rembourser ces frais strictement privés.

Un jour, le comptable de l’Élysée lui fit remarquer que cela n’était « pas nécessaire ».
Elle répondit avec fermeté :
« Tout ce qui n’est pas public est privé, et ce qui est privé, c’est à nous de le payer. »

Leur exigence allait encore plus loin :
leurs enfants et petits-enfants n’avaient pas le droit d’utiliser les voitures officielles pour des déplacements personnels.
Charles de Gaulle refusait les privilèges liés à sa fonction.
Il réglait lui-même toutes ses dépenses à l’Élysée — jusqu’au savon ou aux repas de famille — et avait même choisi de renoncer à son salaire présidentiel, vivant uniquement de sa pension de général.

À sa mort, il ne laissa aucune fortune, seulement sa maison à Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, acquise avant la guerre.
On raconte même qu’il envoyait spontanément des chèques au Trésor public dès qu’un doute existait sur une dépense privée réglée par l’État.

Un sens de l’intégrité et du devoir qui force encore aujourd’hui le respect…
et qui rappelle que le véritable prestige ne réside pas dans les privilèges, mais dans l’exemplarité. 🇫🇷

The Labour government are spending up to £30 billion on carbon capture machines.

Absolute masterclass in stupidity.
Trees have silently hoovered up and stored carbon for 400 million years - cheap, self-replicating, oxygen-spitting, temperature reducing, photosynthesis producing, flood protecting, landscape beautifying and with no gargantuan contracts to corporations.

Yet the Labour government are investing gigantic sums of money in giant metal dystopian lungs that cost a small country’s GDP and still need endless consultation exercises to prove that they’re not just a very expensive version of a machine cosplaying as a tree.

Carbon capture: nature already solved it. 🌳
But the Labour government preferred the invoice from their donor corporations.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Money doesn’t grow on trees. But they do on the carbon capture machine version.

"In a speech outside court, Greenstein said he wanted to see David Lammy, Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper on trial for “having helped Israel perpetrate a genocide”

[💧Mary Kostakidis @MaryKostakidis]

Juries now have refused to send Palestine Action astivists to jail as well as Tony Greenstein. His speech to the Jury that refused to send him to jail for ‘terrorism’ worth reading in whole, but here is an excerpt:
‘In the second world war, the Nazis walled the Jews of Warsaw, half a million of them into a ghetto — a sealed district, starved and diseased, from which the trains left for the Treblinka death camp. And in 1943 the young Jews who remained did something nobody expected. With a handful of smuggled pistols, against tanks and the SS, they rose. They knew they could not win. They rose because it was better to die resisting than to be led away quietly. It is one of the proudest moments in Jewish history.
The last surviving commander of that uprising was a man named Marek Edelman. And in his old age, Edelman wrote to the Palestinian resistance and addressed them as fellow fighters — much to Israel’s annoyance. When he died, Poland gave him a state funeral, a fifteen-gun salute, the President gave the oration. Israel did not send the lowliest clerk at the Israeli Embassy. Edelman wasn’t a Zionist.
Edelman, who led the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against the Nazis, described Gaza as a ghetto. I have used his comparison for years before October 2023. Two million people, most of them refugees or the children of refugees, sealed into a strip of land under blockade for 16 years, where the majority are children who have never once been allowed out. When I wrote “ghetto,” I meant a ghetto. My blog supported the Uprising just as I would have supported the slave uprisings of the 19th century. That is a political opinion. It was a political opinion on 7 October 2023, and it is a political opinion now.
And here is the crazy thing. Read section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and ask what it would have made of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters. If this Act had existed in 1944, they could have been classified as terrorists. So could the French Resistance.’
