Ladybird Books has published a Happy Pride image on Instagram featuring a Muslim woman in hijab.
Ladybird is one of the UK's biggest children's books publishers and its books are read by kids as young as two.
The image features a Muslim woman in hijab carrying a baby alongside another woman.
A caption reads: "Everyone should be free to be themselves, no matter who they are or who they love."
Homosexual acts are strictly forbidden in Islam.
Disgusting. I accept the police have to use force in certain circumstances but I don't think this was one of them, poor lad. The police officer should be publicly named and shamed and sent to prison.
🚨UK police slam a white boy to the ground choke him and call him a bitch after he was attacked.
The hysterical kid just asks what he did wrong yet gets terrorized.
Two-tier policing protects foreign thugs while natives suffer.
It is not a coincidence that whenever some horrific event that galvanizes the anglo peoples of Britian happens, Bonnie Blue suddenly starts going viral again like clockwork.
She is 100% an MI5 asset that is marched around to demean the image of the British people as a demoralization campaign to prevent substantive action.
The man filming swore at the police, presumedly as they drove past. Instead of being normal and just carrying on policing and accepting some people don't like the police this guy decides to get out and escalate the situation?! For what public good? None, just to satisfy his ego.
From a 1904 report on the poor quality of recruits into the British military. May be of interest to @kunley_drukpa and other historians of Historic Milling About:
The Macpherson Report and the murder of Henry Nowak are causally linked through the corrosive logic of multiculturalism and its institutional offspring: two-tier policing.
By the time he was stabbed to death in December 2025, 18-year-old Henry Nowak would have been eight years younger than the 1999 Macpherson Report. The nature of the former—and especially the police response—is directly tied to the latter.
Sir William Macpherson’s inquiry into the Stephen Lawrence case redefined institutional racism expansively. It instructed police to prioritise perceptions of racism from minority complainants. This well-intentioned reform, born of genuine outrage at one racially motivated murder, embedded a structural bias: complaints from certain communities received swift deference, while the concerns of the native majority were often dismissed as prejudice.
Over a quarter-century, this shifted the state’s posture from impartial referee to quasi-imperial active manager of ethnic sensitivities.
Fast-forward to Southampton, 3 December 2025. Henry Nowak, a Polish-British student, was stabbed five times—including a fatal chest wound—by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, who was legally carrying a 21cm kirpan, a privilege extended to no others in British society. As Henry lay dying in his own blood, Digwa falsely claimed racial abuse (citing a bruised eye). Officers handcuffed and arrested the victim rather than rendering immediate aid.
Police later apologised—unconvincingly, particularly after the leaked bodycam footage emerged. The IOPC is investigating. This is not mere incompetence. It is the predictable outcome of Macpherson’s legacy: officers socialised to fear being labelled racist more than failing to protect life.
Listen to Henry’s father. Watch the leaked video and don’t look away. Henry didn’t get a dignified death. He died frightened, drowning in his blood while being mocked and then advised of his rights. Scriptwriters would be sent back to the room if they suggested something so on-the-nose in a gritty drama—yet this is grotesque UK reality.
People should be furious about it. The government is paralysed by ideology, fear, and cowardly shamelessness. Genuine media that holds power to account is in short supply.
Setting anger aside for a moment, multiculturalism erodes the pre-political loyalty that underpins state legitimacy—the special sauce of governance. When institutions apply justice asymmetrically—aggressive on Islamophobia or native 'hate', hesitant or inverted when minorities are perpetrators—trust collapses. This is textbook anarcho-tyranny.
Polls show historic lows in institutional confidence. Incidents like Nowak’s, amplified by grooming scandals, knife crime disparities, and uneven protest handling, accelerate the collapse.
The consequences are stark: feral zones in cities, rural-urban fractures, nativist backlash, and escalating intercommunal violence. Would you choose to walk your dog where Wayne Broadhurst was stabbed to death, or send your son to university where he might be degraded while dying and begging police for help? What would you do if violence and rape regularly targeted you and yours and the police seemed indifferent?
It used to be brushed off as part and parcel' of modern urban life, or 'don’t look back in anger'. That was low, dishonest, and weak. Now the strategy is silence—which may be the least bad option left for this dishonest, discredited government.
We are sliding toward the civil conflict I have warned of—not as cause, but as consequence—of Britain’s unravelling as a coherent nation. The drivers are obvious because they strike normal people faster, wider, and deeper. The reactions are predictable. War is adaptive behaviour; civil war is simply more brutal and socially miasmic. Henry’s killing is not an isolated tragedy. It is a chapter in a larger, nationally suicidal debacle imposed on ordinary people by a governance system that has grown functionally undemocratic over thirty years.
Although I'm glad someone's actually been given a prison sentence for this type of crime (for once) it does seem too short a sentence. I would never trust this person in society again.
Sick pervert squirted semen from a bottle at women in supermarket has now been jailed!
William Kidd, 27, from Stockport, followed women down supermarket aisles in Cheshire and Greater Manchester between May and September 2025.
He squirted his own semen from a small bottle onto their hair and backs without them realising, then carried on shopping as if nothing had happened.
CCTV from five different stores captured the disgusting attacks; forensic tests confirmed the liquid was his semen. His phone also contained upskirt videos of women pushing trolleys.
Kidd told security guards he was a “sex addict” and did it purely for sexual thrill. He admitted 11 counts of sexual assault plus voyeurism and filming under clothing.
Manchester Crown Court jailed him for four years yesterday and imposed an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
I read a comment on this thread yesterday (no credit to me) that said…why does the male relative have enough cash to buy the child bride but not enough decency to help out financially to stop his relatives from starving. Whoever made that comment should be replacing the journalist who wrote this piece.
I agree with Matt, in what world would it be acceptable to only help your struggling family members if they sell you their female daughter for you to abuse? Disgusting.
The most horrifying thing in this article, out of the dozens of nightmarish details, is that some of these men are selling their children to family members. Imagine that your relative needs help and you offer it only on the condition that they sell their children to you as slaves. And then imagine that they actually do it. Totally unthinkable all around. But this is the “culture” in places like Afghanistan. And it’s why we should have realized and accepted a long time ago that some cultures are just evil. Some people are just barbarians. You lock your door and don’t let them inside, ever, period.
The BBC has stooped to a new low. Absolutely disgusting, these afghan "fathers" deserve no sympathy, in a just world they would be on trial for the lives they sold their daughters into. The way they frame this is unthinkable.
Today I learned a term called
"Parentification Debt": When a child is forced to emotionally parent their own parent, they develop advanced skills in reading others but fall behind in understanding themselves. The debt comes due in adulthood when they realize they can manage everyone's feelings except their own.
Grow up watching your parents fight, and by age 12 your brain looks like a soldier's coming home from war. The same alarm circuits keep firing whenever someone gets angry near you. None of these kids were diagnosed with anything. Their brains had already changed.
Scientists at University College London scanned 43 kids in 2011. Twenty had documented family violence at home. When the researchers showed them photos of angry faces, the danger-detection parts of their brains fired exactly like they do in combat soldiers. The kids' brains had quietly learned, before they could put it into words, that anger means danger and danger can come from anywhere in the room.
That study was about violence. But Martin Teicher's lab at Harvard's McLean Hospital has spent decades showing yelling alone does similar damage. Verbal abuse from parents physically changes the parts of the brain that handle language and sound. The long-term hit on adult mental health is about the same as being hit, or watching one of your parents get hit.
And this is common. In 2024, UNICEF estimated 400 million kids under 5, about 6 in 10 globally, regularly face violent discipline at home: yelling, hitting, or both. In a Portuguese study of more than 5,000 ten-year-olds, 57.7% reported a household member regularly shouting or yelling at them. It was the single most common bad thing in their lives.
Teicher's team also found that the brain's memory and stress center physically shrinks by about 6% in young adults who were maltreated as kids. Vietnam combat veterans with chronic PTSD show roughly the same drop, about 8%, in the same area.
The damage doesn't stay in the lab. The CDC's most recent youth survey linked 89% of teen suicide attempts and 85% of teen suicidal thoughts to bad experiences before age 18.
But the same brain that absorbs fear can absorb safety. Romanian orphans moved into stable foster homes recovered real ground. Across decades, Teicher's research has shown that warm, predictable parenting physically builds up the part of the brain that helps a kid stay calm, and quiets the alarm system over time.
A child remembers the fights. They also remember who came back to fix things afterward. Both leave a mark.
In 1837, the Shah of Persia gave Queen Victoria a small herd of Kashmir goats as a coronation gift.
She kept them at Windsor for a while, then, for reasons lost to history, sent some of them to live on the Great Orme, a limestone headland sticking out of the North Wales coast like a thumb pointing at Ireland.
That was 189 years ago.
The goats are still there.
Nobody fed them. Nobody bred them. Nobody asked them to stay. They simply did, because the Great Orme is windswept, salt-blasted, vertical in places, and entirely covered in the kind of scrub that goats consider an invitation rather than an obstacle.
There are now around two hundred of them. Pure white, slightly mad-looking, technically still the property of the Crown, which has shown no particular interest in collecting.
During the 2020 lockdown, when the streets of Llandudno emptied, the goats came down off the headland and took the town. They wandered the high street. They ate the hedges of the Premier Inn. They blocked traffic on Mostyn Street and looked at drivers with the calm assurance of animals whose ancestors used to graze with the legions of Cyrus the Great.
A photograph of one of them standing outside a closed pharmacy went around the world.
The goats did not pose for it.
The goats were checking whether the pharmacy had hedges.
It did not.
The goats moved on.
The Royal Welsh Fusiliers' regimental mascot is still drawn from this herd. The Crown Prince of Britain is, technically, the goats' landlord. The goats have not been informed.
The goats are on the Great Orme.
They will outlast the Premier Inn.
They will outlast most of us.
They are not asking for anything.
They never were.
