@MrHistory92 @somescience1 @RobbieTravers @jk_rowling @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK We don't want abuse either, Tim. Rory and Alastair are very happy to discuss this issue and call us toxic, they just won't let us respond. Do you think that calling us bigots isn't harming the "fabric" of society but when we ask for right of reply, we are acting like monsters?

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Zack Polanski has shown why Britain has never needed an official definition of Islamophobia less.

The leader of the Green Party branded the Prime Minister “Islamophobic” for daring to criticise Mothin Ali — the Greens’ deputy leader.

Polanski has confirmed what many people already suspect: accusations of Islamophobia are too often used cynically to shut down legitimate public debate.

Keir Starmer — as Prime Minister, leader of the Labour Party, and as an individual — is well within his rights to criticise a fellow politician who attended a demonstration where the Ayatollah and Iran’s brutal regime were cheered.

While we believe this government has shown worrying authoritarian instincts, Polanski has let the mask slip on his own party.

Mothin Ali has called the criticism of him “inherently racist”. There was nothing racist about Starmer’s comments.

The Free Speech Union hopes the Prime Minister will now rethink his plan to introduce an official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility”.

Such a definition will make matters worse. It risks chilling free speech by discouraging criticism of Islam and its practices. Most concerningly, it will deter people — including those in public office — from speaking out about the serious problem of Islamist extremism.

Parliament abolished blasphemy laws in 2008. In a free society, no religion or ideology should be beyond criticism, challenge or debate.

Leeds United fans will love this stat but the last time Sean Longstaff scored a match winning penalty in the shoot out, that team went on to win the full competition…

In Western cultures, we value eye contact and the ability to see who it is we are talking to - why? Because we value the uniqueness of the individual, and we see individuals as uniquely valuable.

Clannish/tribal 7th century shame-based cultures that are insular, incestuous, and view women as property of the clan (and must therefore remain shrouded to protect the 'honour' of the clan) are just incompatible with Western value systems.

And frankly, we don't like it, and we don't want it in our countries. If you want to live the way you do, you can simply go home to Pakistan and live in the 7th century there.

Morning,

I am tired of doing this petition, but it's too important not to do it. It needs to get it to 100k of signatures. I need your help to get it there. Please sign, please share. If you have signed please do keep sharing. https://t.co/QoKOs6LeOz

A response from the government is not enough. We already know they don't care about women and children. It will just be a standard response at 10k. Nothing will change. Make the politicians go to work, make them talk about this, and what they're going to do about it.

A  mental health nurse who raped a patient has been jailed for 15 years.

Mohamed Kamara, 47, raped the woman while working at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London, on 15 May 2017.

He "deliberately preyed on a very vulnerable woman" in a "clear breach of trust", police said.

Kamara, of Fleming Way in Thamesmead, south-east London, was also given a sexual harm prevention order at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Thursday.

He will be on the sex offenders' register for life.

The Met Police said Kamara raped the woman before threatening her to prevent her from contacting police.

NHS abuse: Woman raped over 50 times at psychiatric hospital.

NHS abuse: Woman raped over 50 times at psychiatric hospital.

A patient says she was raped between 50 and 60 times while at an NHS psychiatric hospital in Dartford, Kent, by one of the people who was supposed to be looking after her.

The woman, who is now in her 40s and a mother of two, says the care worker told her he would help get her discharged if she did as he demanded.
