Barred from wearing pro-Palestinian symbols because? Because pro-Palestinian badge wearing = antisemitism? Obviously. Because Israelis don’t like it and all Jews are Israelis…er…hang on, I’m getting muddled.

Whenever someone says “According to ChatGPT” or “ChatGPT says,” I just stare at them like they’re quoting a fortune cookie as sacred truth. It’s a language model, not the Oracle. Stop treating it like divine revelation.

Zack Polanski criticised the police for being heavy handed with a RT and he got a formal rebuke from the police and got grilled by the media.

Farage incites riots and condemns the police causing them of murder and nothing.

Two tier media more like.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

2026: Relax, he's just using AI for storyboards!

2027: They're just using it for all the concepts and VFX!

2028: It's mostly AI, but there are still real actors!

2029: It's all AI generated, but human still wrote it!

2030: Well, a human came up with the idea!

Think this one through. Beautiful olive trees that grow and mature and serve as the livelihoods of families. People who think they are righteous and devoted to an all-seeing god, burn them down. And it happens again and again and again.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.

He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.

Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.

🚨🇬🇧 Tommy Robinson stood outside Southampton police station, in front of an angry crowd, and dragged “Pakistani Muslims” and “race gangs” into the murder of Henry Nowak.

The man convicted of murdering Henry Nowak is Vickrum Digwa. A British Sikh man. He stabbed Henry five times with a 21cm blade and is serving life, with a minimum term of 21 years.

Not Pakistani. Not Muslim. Not a grooming gang. Not a “Pakistani Muslim race gang.”

So why bring “Pakistani Muslims” into it?

Because Robinson wasn’t explaining Henry’s murder. He was recruiting it into the grievance machine he already sells: grooming gangs, “two-tier policing,” white victimhood, and betrayal by the state.

He did not need the killer to be Pakistani or Muslim. He just needed the crowd to feel as if the same enemy was involved.

That's what he does. Take a specific tragedy. Strip out the facts. Replace them with the familiar villain. Then tell a crowd: “This is about race.”

There is a real scandal here. Henry Nowak was handcuffed as he lay stabbed, telling officers he couldn’t breathe, while the man who stabbed him was initially treated as the victim because he lied. That is horrifying. Hampshire Police have apologised. The IOPC is investigating. One officer has resigned. The Attorney General is reviewing the sentence.

Grant all of that. Henry was failed.

But Robinson did what he always does. He took a real failure and built a fake racial mythology on top of it.

He told the crowd white people are treated as “second-rate citizens” by police.

The actual data does not show that. It shows the opposite.

Black people in England and Wales are stopped and searched at nearly four times the white rate - almost five times if officer-observed ethnicity is included.

Black people are arrested at almost twice the white rate.

And in the context that matters most here - people dying after police restraint - INQUEST found Black people are seven times more likely than white people to die following the use of restraint by police.

The report is called I Can’t Breathe.

Robinson heard Henry’s dying words and tried to turn them into proof that white Britain is oppressed. The restraint-death data says the opposite.

Then he pointed the crowd at the killer’s brother, a man who has not been charged over Henry’s murder, told them he had seen him “walking the streets this morning,” and shouted: “Get that family out of Southampton.”

Minutes later, police were being pelted with bricks and bottles.

The Public Order Act 1986 makes it an offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words intended, or likely, to stir up racial hatred. Whether this speech crosses that line is for the CPS, not me.

But let’s not pretend this is normal politics.

A false racial frame. A volatile crowd. A grieving family pleading for Henry’s death not to be used to create division. An uncharged man’s movements read out in public. A demand to drive a family out of Southampton. Then bricks flying at police.

That is exactly the territory that law was written for.

Henry Nowak was failed by the officers who cuffed him.

Now he is being exploited by a man who dragged the wrong racial enemy into the story because the truth was never the point.

‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”

“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.

These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.

▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.

▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around ‌the ⁠same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.

▪️The rise of AI is accelerating this trend. The UK Government's Compute Roadmap notes that AI data centres can devote up to 40% of their energy consumption to cooling systems.

▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.

▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.

Numerous campaigns against these data centres are being organised by local communities. No one voted for this. If you are involved in any of these local campaigns, please DM me and I’ll try and help you amplify your campaigns.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Donald Trump has claimed to outraged with Netanyahu's continued attacks in Lebanon.

Nearly 90% of the IDF's weapons come from the USA, he could halt them all with a single executive decree.

Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling.

His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

“If we erase January 6th, it didn’t happen”

“If we don’t release certain inflation data, there’s no inflation”

“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry”

“If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence”

“If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases”

The Trump administration is hiding data so you can’t truly see how corrupt and incompetent they are.

"South West Water is due to be sentenced today after admitting supplying water unfit for human consumption"

A YouGov poll last month showed that 82% want water in public ownership, but the govt won't do it because they're on the side of the profiteers, not us.
