Dear @GOVUK @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP Please do not waste public money on a review into what you describe as "serious information failures" in the case of British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El Fattah. Let me offer a starting point - for free. The problem is not a single failure. It is that the UK’s information ecosystem has been captured by what can be called a self-styled “community of the good” - and it is leading the country toward oblivion. This includes: 1. NGOs such as @amnesty (alongside a wider ecosystem of NGOs) - whose activist methodologies are routinely mistaken for rigorous evidence. 2. Institutionally problematic media treated as "untouchable" such as @BBCNews @guardian 3. Academic "experts" funded by actors hostile to British interests 4. An online encyclopedia written by ideologically extreme activists now recycled by AI systems. 5. A civil service that has been overrun and shaped by progressive hard-left orthodoxy. 6. UN bodies, Special Rapporteurs and their international partners, treated as authoritative and routinely cited as fact. Together, this forms almost the entire chain of information feeding into government decision-making - and it is self-harming. Layer on top of that a culture of institutional laziness, risk aversion, and an inability to truly engage in critical thinking - and you get a system where almost nobody at senior levels seriously challenges the worldview being presented to them Even when scrutiny occurs, it is shallow, and never deep enough to penetrate the protective forcefield around the “community of the good”. Because this ecosystem is overwhelmingly left-leaning, @UKLabour are the worst offenders - but the scale of the problem also explains why even years of @Conservatives government failed to correct course. The ship never turns because the compass is broken. Alaa Abd El Fattah passed through this system because every voice the government reflexively trusts was pointing in the same corrupted direction. As long as policymakers assume this is a good-faith environment - where enemy actors play by the rules -the UK will continue to be undermined from within. If this country is to recover, the answer is not reviews or cosmetic fixes. It requires dismantling the broken information subculture that has enclosed the state - and rebuilding the capacity to think critically and independently again. So save the money. Start breaking down the walls. And begin fighting back. Or quit - and hand over to those that will.

So @BBCNews write an "INDEPTH" article asking "WHY British Jews are experiencing their biggest change in 60 years" (they mean living in fear). In typical BBC whitewash fashion - the long 1700+ word article does not mention Muslims, Islam, Islamism anywhere (SERIOUSLY!!) - even though it mentions both Bondi Beach and Manchester. The BBC erases the biggest change (on this subject) in the UK - in an article about the big changes happening here. It gloats over a public fall of support for Zionism - without once considering this may be a sign of persecution and fear. Persecuted groups are KNOWN to be less confident in public about their identity. It could also be a sign that British Jewry is showing the first signs of dying out - because of the growing hostility here - as Jewish communities have died out elsewhere because of persecution. Not discussed or considered. That just shows how ignorant the authors are. The piece ("INDEPTH" 🤣) - has a one dimensional, understanding of both the British Jewish community and persecuted minority groups. The only thing it really wants to do is pretend more and more young Jews hate Israel. One of the BBC's favourite pastimes. To do that it gives voice to "Robert Cohen" and describes him as "a PhD student at Kings". He may be - but he is also in his 50s and a veteran BDS supporters and anti-Zionist activist - who has stood alongside JVL, Corbyn, and has been part of the very Jewish bloc demonstrations in London he is meant to be impartially "researching". Long battling against the claims of a rise in antisemitism, Cohen has proudly said "I’ve married out, my children are Christian, and my wife is a vicar.”" - but hey - the BBC does like "sharp practice" when it comes to reporting on Jews, and he has the name "Robert Cohen" - so why not just let his name do the heavy lifting. And did I mention the piece was co-written by someone called "Aleem Maqbool" - a Muslim journalist - and a Catherine Wyatt - who has only been in this role a few weeks. The article is gaslighting at its finest. And a final note to the BBC journalists. While I know Israel will thrive, I do not know what will eventually happen to British Jewry. And if one day you stand in a nation in which the Jewish community has all but disappeared - just remember what a proud and vital hand you played in its destruction. Just sickening.

Everyone screams Israel stole the land, but here’s the truth: Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and Israel all formed around the same time, carved from the Ottoman Empire’s ruins. After World War One, Britain gave us Jordan in 1946. France split Lebanon in 1943, Syria 1946. Egypt broke British chains in 1922. Israel? 1948. No ancient kingdoms—just colonial borders. All these states, same origin story. But only Israel, tied to 3,000 years of Jewish history—temples, coins, scrolls—gets branded colonizer. Why? It’s not history’s fault. It’s the Islamic rejection of any Jewish sovereignty, rooted in ideologies that erase Jewish presence, even as end-time narratives justify wiping them out. If everyone’s a colonial kid, why’s only Israel illegitimate? Think about that.
