@ObserverUK @RSylvester1 @CatNeilan Bullshit. Stifling free speech is the real threat to democracy.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

“Twenty-five years ago, the political class was more willing to engage in open debate.”

Today, there is an attempt to cast legitimate criticism of prevailing orthodoxies — whether on diversity, Islam, immigration, or climate change — as misinformation, disinformation, or hate speech.

At the heart of the free speech crisis is an unwillingness on the part of the promoters of these policies to defend them in public.

Instead of engaging in good-faith debate, they portray critics as beyond the pale.

In this relatively recent phenomenon, people are increasingly realising that if they challenge a certain cluster of prevailing orthodoxies, they are likely to be cancelled.

We must push back against this.

Since this was published Saturday morning it’s been revealed that the Royal Navy’s entire available fleet of hunter-killer submarines is stuck in port unable to sail — all five Astute class subs currently laid up awaiting maintenance and other repair work. Leaves the UK’s sub-sea internet and power cables dangerously vulnerable to sabotage by the Kremlin

@Madz_Grant And free speech

@Glinner @cathynewman And all the threats Elon receives? That’s why he has a big security detail and rarely appears in public after Charlie Kirk.

@FraserNelson @grok is this true?

@DrewPavlou Shame on The Economist

This is such a waste of people’s livelihoods for net zero madness. Make it stop.

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

[Anthony Ward @anthony_ward]

@cathynewman @Keir_Starmer @elonmusk You notice how much security Elon has around him, especially after Charlie Kirk was murdered? Elon doesn’t even appear in public any more.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

'If you want to know what sort of man Sir Keir Starmer is, consider these two clues'

'First, note how slow he was to make any public comment about the murder of Henry Nowak. And second, note how quick he was to condemn his political opponents for speaking up about it.'

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

@Benleo And I’m sure they received some full and frank “clarification”

[LibertyOrNothing @LibertyNut1]

🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage has reported Hope Not Hate to the Charity Commission.

This “charity” is accused of breaking rules by handing out leaflets urging votes for Labour and against Reform UK.

Using charity money to play politics?

@TheEconomist You can’t be that dense, surely? Inflation is falling, are people happy about the high prices they are still paying?
