“The barbarians never take a city until someone holds the gates open for them.”

In 2009, Christopher Hitchens issued a direct warning that Britain has since ignored at its peril.

He urged the British people to resist the encroachments of radical Islam while they still could before the right to voice dissent or even mild complaint was taken away from them.

That day has arrived.

Hitchens saw how the term “Islamophobia” was already being smuggled into the culture, not as a defense against genuine prejudice, but as a weapon to equate any criticism of Islamic doctrine or its absolutist preachings with racism and bigotry.

This rhetorical tactic was advanced by radical Islamist networks, including Muslim Brotherhood affiliates, and enthusiastically adopted by progressive clergy, Christian and Jewish alike, along with the multiculturalist establishment in academia, media, and the bureaucracy.

The result is exactly what Hitchens predicted. A de facto alliance between multicultural leftism and Islamist absolutism.
One side eroded cultural confidence and free speech norms to hold the gates open.
The other is now advancing through the breach.

The choice is no longer abstract. Either the West fights to dismantle this alliance and its grip on its institutions, or the people of the West will forfeit their country, their culture, and their civilization.

Heed Hitchens’s warning.

Resist while you still can.

@ArgosHelpers why state that I can collect my order at 9am today when it’s not even there yet? Your customer service agent online was less than useless too.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

@celestialbe1ng David Attenborough perpetuated the climate change scam on the BBC platform. Whilst David Bellamy exposed the climate change fraud with verifiable science on the BBC and was subsequently sacked / de-platformed for doing so.
RIP David Bellamy. Died on 11 December 2019. Age of 86.

Medieval nobility: "Peasants can't hunt deer. Execution for poaching."

Modern elite: "Everyone can buy beef. We just made it prohibitively expensive, taxed it heavily, regulated small farms out of existence, subsidized grain instead, and convinced you it's killing the planet."

Same outcome. Better PR department.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

@RoyalMailHelp I was conversing with one of your colleagues via DM yesterday, however the conversation has gone dry. Is anything happening?

[Damo @damo76nffc]

@RoyalMailHelp can you please reply to my DM?

[Damo @damo76nffc]

@RoyalMailHelp I sent an item back to Amazon - ref: OV479655811GB. It says:

We've received a request not to deliver mail to the property your item is addressed to today. We'll attempt delivery as per the instructions.

What’s going on? It’s said this since Saturday!

[Damo @damo76nffc]

@RoyalMailHelp hi

I have an issue with an Amazon return, I have DM’d the details. I tried the phone line but to no avail :(

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

A large number of people (mostly men, in my experience) who're sympathetic to some of women's opposition to gender identity ideology, nevertheless think it's cruel to point out that a trans-identified man looks like a man, and unkind not to 'respect' his pronouns. They think these are 'compromises' women should be prepared to make. 'What does it matter?' they say. 'How does it hurt you?'

The psychological effects of being coerced, manipulated or pressured into doing something that is against a person's own beliefs or values are well known. 'Moral injury' occurs when a person is forced to betray deep-held convictions, or stand in silence while those convictions are being betrayed. The individual feels transgressed at a core level. The inevitable consequences are stress, anxiety and anger.

Workplaces across the west have imposed a Kafkaesque situation on women. A belief system most people consider nonsensical, but which, in elite circles, has become almost a religion, has been imposed from on high. Women are being persecuted and punished for not pretending they think men can change sex. The policing of pronouns, and the harassment and shaming of women who won't pretend they can't recognise a man when they see one, is merely the tip of genderism's gigantic, threatening iceberg.

Any man who seeks to force women to play along with the fantasy that he's female is engaging in a typically male power play. At worst, he will suffer narcissistic injury from her non-compliance, but that doesn't make him objectively vulnerable. The non-compliant woman, though, suffers lasting moral injury by being forced to participate daily in a lie - a lie, moreover, that constitutes a fundamental threat to her own rights to privacy, dignity and safety.

It has been profoundly illuminating to see how many people - possibly because their own values spring, not from a place of rationality or true conviction, but from fashion and self-interest - see male narcissistic injury as so very much more worthy of compassion than the moral injuries suffered by women.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I find it offensive to be pressured into calling him ‘she’. See how that works? It’s his narcissistic injury versus my moral injury, but only one of us is demanding the dismantlement of the other one’s rights.

@bt_uk I switched to Brillband on 31/03. Was told to expect a final bill. It’s never come. Online chat say they’ve sorted it; they gave ref - Activity ID: 3-CONEWXZ1. What is going on? PLEASE don’t say call you because I can NEVER get through, I just want my last bill!! 😤

@jk_rowling Trying to tell people that someone pretending to be a woman is actually a woman and you’re a bigot if you don’t agree is the greatest crime of our time

@piersmorgan Good morning Pierce.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.

Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.

Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.

When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.

Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.

The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.

@EastMidRailway Complained about a journey I made 16/12/23. Was told by email on 05/01/24 that I was getting a 25% refund. No refund yet. Spoke to someone last week, was told would definitely be paid last week. Still no refund! How do I get this sorted!? 🤯

[Damo @damo76nffc]

@EastMidRailway So it’s definitely been sent already by BACS? If that’s the case then thanks very much 😊
