Labour has introduced an Islamic blasphemy law via the back door — and it is already having a chilling effect on free speech.
The “anti-Muslim hostility” definition, formerly known as Islamophobia, is being adopted by police forces, prosecutors, courts and the NHS, as well as private-sector organisations and charities.
It will make it even harder to discuss the fundamental challenges we face, like Islamist extremism, and national scandals such as the grooming gangs, with those who speak out fearful of being branded “Islamophobic”.
As Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy says: “It’s a get-out-of-jail-free card for extremists.”
Not only did the Government appoint a working group whose five members had troubling links to Islamist organisations; it also deleted every response to the Working Group’s consultation. It is now almost certain that extremists were able to influence the drafting of the definition.
This is a major cover-up at the heart of government. Government departments are required to retain historical records of those who contributed to key consultations such as this for 20 years.
Angela Rayner has serious questions to answer. The British public deserves to know who drafted Labour’s Islamic blasphemy law.
A fantastic video from @NJ_Timothy 👇
Reminder: Lucy Connolly, a childminder and mother, got 31 months for 1 bad tweet and was denied bail.
This vile paedo police officer got 16 months suspended.
Justice?
For the time ever, Britain is now paying more in welfare than we bring in from employed taxpayers.
Income tax revenue: £331 billion.
Welfare spending: £333 billion.
This is unsustainable. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have created a much bigger black hole.
While the world’s attention is elsewhere, Hamas is quietly admitting how many “innocent Palestinian civilians” were Hamas commanders after all. Doctors, journalists, old men… and the world keeps falling for it.
My cab driver last week was former Afghan army and had been in the UK ~ 20yrs
He told me Afghan women are not the same as women in the West so don’t need work and education
The atmosphere became so hostile I got out before my stop
The problem didn’t stay in Afghanistan
Once again, little boys are being targeted while the British State ignores the obvious problem.
British boys aren’t gang-raping little white girls above kebab shops.
British boys aren’t forcing 6 year old girls to marry them.
British boys aren’t stabbing little girls to death at a dance class.
British boys aren’t flogging, beating, torturing, and stoning women for daring to show their hair.
British boys aren’t banning girls from going to school or getting a basic education.
British boys aren’t forcing kidnapping women and forcing them into sexual slavery.
British boys aren’t stripping away women’s basic rights, freedoms, and autonomy.
British boys are NOT the problem.
If the Jew Hunters come to your area and knock on your door - you don’t have to engage and you can close the door without saying a word to them. Then they don’t know if you support them or you don’t.
Afterwards what you should do, if you are Jewish or support Jewish people in your community is go online and complain to the police about feeling intimidated by them and scared of what they will do with your information.
The police are saying they will only stop them if reports are made from householders.
So please do it. Stand up to the new fascists in High Viz and Keffiyehs. An online complaint doesn’t take long.

🚨 FEMALE MUSLIMS FLYING JIHADIST FLAGS IN LONDON THIS AFTERNOON 🧵
I don’t want to hear again from the Mayor of London about how tough it is to be a Muslim in Britain or from Muslim orgs claiming women are "on edge". People flying these flags are calling for violence. This was at the segregated protest outside the Jordanian Embassy where armies of the Ummah were called upon.🧵1/
🚨 A Shia terrorist from England says he is going to fight for the Islamic Republic.
He is from Leeds and openly says he is going to Iran to fight for the IRGC, even brazenly showing his UK passport.
This is a serious security concern and he should be barred from re-entering the country, @Keir_Starmer.
The Head of the Grooming Gangs Inquiry says they will investigate public figures who were complicit in the scandal.
Alright then.
Let’s make it easier for them:
𝗞𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿
Called protestors of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs “far-Right bandwagon jumpers”, refused a national inquiry until he was forced to backtrack, oversaw the failure to prosecute offenders as head of the Crown Prosecution Service etc.
𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀
Voted against a national inquiry, ignored council requests to meet, watered down the Gov’s “local enquiries” until they were scrapped altogether, accused victims of being far-Right, downplayed the severity and scale of abuse, repeatedly denied and shut out victims from speaking out
𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗾 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝗻
Repeatedly denied the existence of grooming gangs in London, claimed there were “no reported cases and also no indication”, voted down proposals for an inquiry into Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs in London, took away 4.5 million in funding for the inquiry
𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗣
Labour MP and former Leader of Telford and Wrekin Council, oversaw the fallout of the Telford scandal, downplayed the severity and scale of CSE in Telford, attempted to block an independent inquiry, voted against a national inquiry, protected Cabinet members who played an active role in the scandal (eg. Cabinet Member who said that girls’ claims were “made up on the back of a fag packet”)
𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗺
Refused to launch an independent inquiry into grooming gangs in Greater Manchester, despite victims’ testimony and police whistleblowers confirming widespread cover-ups
𝗡𝗮𝘇 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗵
Labour MP who told victims of grooming gangs to “shut their mouths for the good of diversity”, trivialising and silencing abuse survivors
𝗟𝘂𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹
Called Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs a “far-Right dog whistle” and a “trumpet” that is used to unfairly smear Labour, accused victims of being far-Right and exaggerating their abuse
𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘆𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗶
Laughed about the mass rape of little girls by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs, joked that every Pakistani person is accused of being a groomer, claimed to instigate grooming gang conspiracies
Oh, and every single councillor, police officer, social worker, sexual health clinic staff member, and other official who silenced, vilified or turned a blind eye to the systemic abuse of little British girls.
Who else?
Ofcom has some serious questions to answer.
As the media regulator stifles free speech through its draconian, overzealous enforcement of the Online Safety Act — both in the UK and the US — it is also handing out donations to its favoured news outlets. So much for impartiality.
It has now been revealed that Ofcom provided £50,000 in funding to the Guardian Foundation last year.
General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has said: “It’s genuinely odd that Ofcom has given £50,000 to The Guardian when, almost alone among UK newspapers, The Guardian eschews any regulation of its content.
“If you’re misrepresented by The Guardian, your only recourse is to complain to its internal ombudsman – in other words, it marks its own homework. If only Ofcom granted the same latitude to GB News and Elon Musk.”

Two clear examples where face coverings should absolutely be banned ASAP:
In court — I’m sorry, but you don’t have a right to anonymity. If this is allowed, then all criminals should be able to wear balaclavas in court.
When standing for election — I’m sorry, but who on earth is under that? How can anyone be sure the person they’re voting for is actually the one behind it?
Abubaker Abed has been invited to Parliament by @oxfamgb and ‘testified’ at Jeremy Corbyn’s tribunal on Gaza. Written for Al Jazeera and Dropsite News. He is currently living in Ireland. He shouldn’t be.
