.@UKLabour I would STRONGLY suggest that you remove this post immediately as your statement of myself ‘assaulting’ a female officer is highly misleading and completely false as I’ve never laid a finger on a woman let alone a female Police officer! However doesn’t Labour allow for female police officers to have their noses broken nowadays??? #Manchester #Labourout
I don’t think that academics should do ‘hot takes’ on matters of the day. Their opinions are rarely better informed than anyone else’s and cloaking them in scholarly garb cheapens the principle of objectivity. With respect to what is occurring in Britain today, in my opinion a fundamental error right now is to let the churn of the daily ‘news’ cycle drive your analysis.
The legacy media, the government, and the police have all forfeited any claim to credibility; they lie routinely, by omission and commission, and they are actively shaping the narrative to protect a failing political order. Strong-arming victims’ families, suppressing footage, and spinning every incident as isolated ‘far-right thuggery’ or random criminality is not journalism or policing, let alone governing—it is damage limitation for a system that has lost control of the streets and the story.
Instead, fix your gaze on the structural factors. Demography, geography, economics, and the hollowing-out of institutional legitimacy matter far more than whatever grainy mobile-phone clip is being waved at us this week.
Britain has imported, at scale and with minimal integration, populations whose cultural distance from the native majority is large and, in important respects, growing rather than shrinking. Parallel societies, concentrated in particular towns and cities, now possess the critical mass to sustain sustained low-level conflict and, when conditions align, more organised violence.
The state’s monopoly on force is visibly fraying; its willingness to use what remains of that monopoly is selective and therefore delegitimising. Trust in the police, courts, and political class is in the basement and still falling. Economic stagnation and housing pressure sharpen every grievance. These are not transient conditions; they are the terrain on which coming events will play out.
On the Belfast attacks specifically: the operators are clearly more security-conscious than has been the case with the migrant hotel and other protests over the last couple of years—masked, disciplined about visuals, limiting the evidential trail. Some attribute this to institutional memory of the Troubles. That may be part of it.
But I suspect the more immediate and probable vector is simple tactical diffusion from the modern Left and anarchist playbook. Black Bloc methods, the utility of anonymity, the selective application of violence, the media choreography—these have been field-tested and refined for years in Europe and North America.
The manuals are not secret and the examples are legion: Marighella’s Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla, the writings of the Red Army Faction, Alinsky’s organising principles stripped of the moralising, the operational literature of the Global Justice movement and Antifa networks.
Remove the Marxist dialectical claptrap and you are left with cold, competent observations about how small, determined groups can punch above their weight against a larger but slower and more constrained opponent. Diffusion of those techniques was inevitable once the incentives aligned.
You don't need an aged ex-IRA uncle to tell you how to do these things. The internet and a library card will do it.
I am wary of firm day-to-day pronouncements precisely because reliable, on-the-ground reporting is so thin. I am not in Belfast, the journalistic desert in this country is real, nearly every dead-tree media and teevee pundit is a literal know nothing.
What I will say with higher confidence on account of my reading of such conflicts elsewhere in the world is that certain escalatory dynamics are now highly probable:
Police over-reaction that produces a martyr or martyrs, further radicalising elements on all sides.
Targeted assassination of a judge, prominent politician, or influential voice.
A spectacular, Christchurch-style mass killing when some individual or cell concludes that only dramatic, indiscriminate violence will break the equilibrium.
Stabbings and gang rapes will continue at their grim baseline; they are already normalised enough that they barely shift the political dial. The deeper pattern is polarisation, erosion of restraint, and the slow emergence of organised ethnic and ideological blocs willing to use force to defend or advance their interests.
All of that is in accordance with the rules of the game of identity politics, which were created by the *very same* people now most frantic about the perilous consequences of their own ideology.
The centre is not holding because it has spent years delegitimising itself and disarming its natural supporters.
Watch the structural trends—demographic momentum, institutional decay, the diffusion of effective small-group tactics, the collapse of shared reality—more than the latest headline. The news will keep lying. The underlying physics of the situation will not.
Andy Burnham And The Truth About Britain's Biggest Rape Gang Investigations
Yesterday, I shared Part 1 of my deep dive into @AndyBurnhamGM and his role in the cover up of the Pakistani Rape Gangs. Today, I bring you Part 2. Read it yourself and you will come to understand why it is that Burnham has been running away from meeting with me.
Part 2: What Burnham Should Have Done
The BBC documentary The Betrayed Girls aired in July 2017. Burnham had been Mayor since May. He had been in post for two months when the programme confronted the country with what had been happening to children in Greater Manchester. Maggie Oliver was on that documentary. The evidence was there.
What he should have done was stand up and demand a statutory public inquiry. He could have said he did not have the powers to get to the truth. He could have said the government must come in, must compel the evidence, that he would not allow this to be managed at local level by the organisations responsible for the failure. He knew he did not have the powers to get to the truth.
Instead, he spent seven years commissioning a series of toothless, worthless processes, specifically in Oldham. Called Assurance Reviews, Burnham’s interventions could not compel a single witness, could not compel a single document, could not place anyone under oath, and could not name a single person responsible for the cover-up.
Those processes, across four separate publications failed to name a single person responsible. Burnham failed to hold a single person to account. Not one police officer was exposed, not one politician was identified, not one council official who had looked the other way while children were being raped was named. Worse than this, the people summoned could simply ignore the summons. The vast majority did.
Seven years. Not one person held to account. Yet Burnham celebrates it as an achievement. He uses the word BIGGEST to describe what he did.
_________
The Reviews Were Built to Fail
The Oldham Assurance Review was requested by Oldham Council after their attempt to facilitate their own review collapsed. Shaun Fielding, then Oldham Council leader, ran to Andy Burnham to help. Let that settle. The body under scrutiny asked for its own review and was then allowed to help write the terms of reference under which it would be investigated.
Greater Manchester Police also sent amendments to the terms of reference. Read that again. The police force whose decisions regarding the rape gangs were being examined amended the document that defined what would and would not be examined. The council, the police, and the politicians all shaped the scope of what was supposed to hold them to account.
The subjects of the review then sat on the steering group that oversaw it.
GMCA lawyers shaped the drafting of the review itself. They delayed publication when Oldham Council warned that certain sections, their words, a direct quote from the correspondence, “could open Oldham Council, GMCA and the review team to legal action.“ The institution under scrutiny threatened legal action to sanitise the document examining its conduct, and it worked.
The terms of reference excluded organised crime. We now know these were not groups of men who happened to know each other. They were organised crime networks dealing drugs, trafficking children, operating across town lines and across years. Excluded.
Mosque safeguarding was excluded. The men came from communities with no safeguarding architecture, where the men running the mosques and the community centres were often the same men running the political operations that delivered votes to Labour. Excluded.
Postal vote fraud was excluded. The same network that operated the abuse also operated the vote harvesting. Excluded.
Schools were excluded entirely. Survivors of the Oldham rape gangs have confirmed to me that they were dragged into cars outside school gates. School staff have told me confidentially that they went to retrieve children from rape dens and brought them back in the next morning, from flats with nothing in them but mattresses. The places where children were taken to be gang raped were outside the scope of the review. Excluded.
The review covered only the years 2011 to 2014. Years of abuse before 2011, excluded. Years after 2014, excluded.
Within that limited window, every single case it examined confirmed what I had been saying for years. Every child it looked at had been a victim of the Pakistani rape gangs. Every single one.
The review confirmed taxi drivers were still being licensed despite evidence they had sexually assaulted children in their vehicles. No one could explain why this had been allowed to take place. Burnham’s expert team never stopped to ask.
Children’s homes were confirmed to have functioned as child brothels. Instead of being appalled and demanding answers from those involved, the report described the Council’s actions as placing all the children at risk of gang rape in a home near the traffickers and rapists as ‘innovative‘.
Despite everything, they were forced to admit that Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale gang, had worked for a council body that gave him access to children. They failed to follow the trail to where and how many children he accessed. Confirming he was a Labour Party member, the review found nine separate occasions on which he should have been arrested and was not. Nobody was asked to explain why.
Selective Note Taking
When it came to taking testimony, the interviewees received questions in advance. They gave unsworn answers. They were then permitted to amend their own records before those records entered the file. The answers they gave were taken in private by Newsam and Ridgway without tape recorders. They made selective notes of what they considered important. Then GMCA lawyers could intervene in the records afterwards.
In the small print of the published report, there is a disclaimer. The review team accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided to it.
They could not compel a single witness to attend. Could not compel a single document to be produced. Placed no one under oath. Then published a disclaimer stating they take no position on whether anything they were told was true.
This is what Burnham called an investigation. Apparently, it was the biggest Britain had ever seen.
Part 3 will follow.

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.
A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.
This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.
In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.
But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”
British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?
We genuinely do not understand this.
A rant. There’s a misunderstanding about just how short the government’s Defence Investment Plan will fall, when we do finally see it. Sadly, it’s so much worse than the general conception.
It’s not just the gap between the £28billon that the chiefs asked for and the £13.5bn Rachel Reeves is offering. The chiefs’ £28bn was actually just the minimum they think defence needs to get through the next four years. To pay for the full transformation that the SDR prescribes, and insists is vital, I’m told internal MoD estimates put the real sum needed at 4.5 or 5% of GDP (which btw is also NATO’s new annual spending target). The UK currently only spends 2.3% of its GDP on defence, rising to 2.5% next April.
In cash terms, that means defence actually needs an extra £60bn, and not just over 4 years but EVERY year. That’s the true scale of the task, and what our allies like Germany and Poland are now well on their way towards. So the Treasury/No10’s current sticking plaster offer is not just woefully thin, it doesn’t even touch the sides.
To defend Britain properly in the frightening modern world that we now live, the next Prime Minister (Burnham, Badenoch or Farage) is going to have to start all over again. And unlike the current government, they will have to have this debate publicly and honestly.
Activist: "Take the cows off and you stop all that carbon going up."
Farmer: "Stop it going where? The grass still grows, and the grass still dies."
Activist: "But the cow's not eating it."
Farmer: "So it topples over in autumn and rots instead, and the soil microbes return its carbon to the air anyway. Same carbon, same destination. You've just removed the bit in the middle where someone got fed. The field breathes out either way."
Activist: "It's slower without the cow."
Farmer: "And it's the same carbon, on loan from this spring's air, going back where it came from. The cow doesn't conjure new carbon out of nowhere. She borrows it from the grass and hands most of it straight back. Remove her and the loop still turns, minus the dinner."
Activist: "There's still her methane."
Farmer: "A brief detour on a wheel that's turning regardless, gone from the air in a decade. You're trying to switch off a cycle the sun and the grass started long before the cow showed up."
Activist: "..."
Farmer: "The grass dies whether she eats it or not. She just turns the rotting into a roast on the way past."
This is getting silly now. There's no way a family of a stabbed man organically comes out with these textbook perfect quotes from the Labour Manifesto.
"We would like to add that migrants make valuable contributions to the UK, increasing GDP across the service sector by 3.4%. thanks to Emperor Starmer's wise handling of every issue"
On me demande souvent si je crois vraiment que l'Occident va gagner.
Alors j'ai fait le calcul. Froidement. Avec les données, pas avec l'espoir.
Voici les odds.
D'abord, concédons tout ce qui doit l'être. Le wokisme tient encore les universités. Il tient les administrations. Il tient une génération entière de Millennials diplômés, installés dans les postes intermédiaires pour trente ans. Seulement 5% des entreprises ont réellement supprimé leurs programmes DEI. Le reste a juste changé les étiquettes. Le vocabulaire meurt, la nomenklatura reste en poste. Quiconque vous dit que c'est déjà gagné vous ment.
Maintenant, regardez les courbes.
The Economist a mesuré la présence des idées woke dans quatre domaines: opinion publique, médias, universités, entreprises. Partout la même courbe. Montée en 2015, pic en 2021-2022, déclin continu depuis. "White privilege" apparaissait 2,5 fois par million de mots dans la grande presse américaine en 2020. Trois ans plus tard: 0,4. Chez les étudiants américains, l'identification non-binaire a été divisée par deux entre 2022 et 2025. Le soutien à BLM s'effondre année après année.
Une idéologie ne meurt pas quand on la réfute. Elle meurt quand elle cesse de recruter. Et elle a cessé de recruter.
Dans les urnes, c'est un réalignement historique. Pour la première fois de l'histoire moderne, les partis anti-système sont simultanément en tête dans les trois principales économies d'Europe. Reform écrase tout au Royaume-Uni avec un Starmer à -61 de popularité nette. L'AfD devant la CDU. Le RN plus haut que jamais. L'Italie gouvernée. L'Autriche, le Portugal, les Pays-Bas qui basculent. Trump réélu. Milei qui redresse l'Argentine en direct.
Ce n'est pas une vague. C'est tout le bloc occidental qui rejette le même logiciel en même temps.
Pourquoi maintenant? Parce que l'idéologie a commis l'erreur que sa version précédente avait mis 70 ans à commettre: elle a pris le pouvoir. Une idéologie d'opposition est irréfutable. Une idéologie au pouvoir produit des résultats. De 2020 à 2024 elle a gouverné, et le réel a recommencé à envoyer ses réfutations, comme Budapest 1956, comme les boat people. Tout le monde a vu les villes ingérables, les écoles effondrées, les fondatrices de BLM s'acheter quatre manoirs avec l'argent de la cause. Le peuple n'a pas eu besoin de lire Foucault. Il a regardé qui s'enrichissait en prêchant le sacrifice.
Et puis il y a le facteur que ni l'URSS ni la French Theory n'ont jamais eu à affronter.
En 2024, Peter Thiel dîne avec Elon Musk. Thiel lui dit: si Trump perd, je quitte le pays. Elon répond: "There's nowhere to go." Il n'y a nulle part où aller. Thiel rentre chez lui et comprend deux heures plus tard ce qu'il vient d'entendre: Elon ne croit plus en Mars comme refuge. Parce que le gouvernement socialiste et l'IA woke le suivraient jusque sur Mars.
L'homme qui construit des fusées pour quitter la Terre venait de conclure que la fuite était impossible.
Qu'a-t-il fait de ce désespoir? Il n'a pas émigré. Il a racheté la place publique mondiale, cassé le monopole de la censure, mis sa fortune dans la bataille. Cet homme est aujourd'hui en route pour devenir le premier trillionaire de l'histoire de l'humanité, et il a fait de la destruction de cette idéologie un objectif explicite. Jamais, dans toute la guerre froide, le monde libre n'a eu un atout pareil. Les dissidents soviétiques tapaient des samizdats à la machine. Nous, nous avons les fusées, les modèles d'IA et les réseaux de distribution de l'information entre les mains de gens qui ont choisi notre camp.
Reste le mécanisme de fond, celui que presque personne ne voit.
Le wokisme est une économie politique de la rareté. Il a besoin de gatekeepers qui contrôlent l'accès aux carrières. Il a besoin de commissaires entre vous et le résultat. Il a besoin que les places soient rares pour que leur redistribution ait un sens. Son apogée fut le covid: populations immobilisées, dépendantes des canaux officiels, chaque interaction soumise à autorisation. Le pic du projet globaliste et le pic woke tombent la même année dans toutes les données. Ce n'est pas une coïncidence. C'est le même phénomène.
L'IA détruit les trois piliers à la fois. Elle pulvérise le diplôme comme péage. Elle remplace l'organisation et ses commissaires par un individu et ses agents. Elle casse la somme nulle en créant l'abondance cognitive. Une idéologie de gestion de la pénurie ne survit pas à la fin de la pénurie. Le marxisme économique n'a pas survécu aux Trente Glorieuses, il a dû muter en marxisme culturel. Cette fois, la mutation n'a nulle part où aller: l'IA attaque aussi le monopole du récit.
Une seule condition. Que l'IA reste entre les mains des bâtisseurs. Une IA capturée serait l'inverse exact: le commissaire politique installé dans chaque poche. C'est le seul scénario de défaite totale, et je le chiffre à 5-10%.
Donc voici mes odds, posées publiquement pour qu'on puisse me juger dessus.
Perte de l'hégémonie culturelle woke d'ici 2030: 90-95%. C'est presque déjà fait.
Perte des institutions d'ici 2035: 55-65%. C'est la bataille de la décennie, la plus dure.
Victoire civilisationnelle de l'Occident d'ici 2040: 60-70%. Conditionnée à une seule variable: qui écrit les valeurs dans les machines.
Probabilité que dans quinze ans on regarde 2020-2024 comme le pic historique du wokisme, son 1977 à lui, l'extension maximale juste avant le reflux: 85%.
Alors non, le UK n'est pas fini. La France n'est pas finie. En 1975, les bâtisseurs étaient apolitiques et les clercs avaient le monopole du récit. En 2026, les bâtisseurs possèdent les canaux et sont entrés dans la bataille. C'est une inversion du rapport de force sans précédent depuis 1966.
Le déclinisme n'est pas de la lucidité. C'est l'idéologie ennemie qui tourne dans votre tête et vous fait faire son travail gratuitement.
Il n'y a jamais eu autant d'espoir pour le monde libre. Le vrai. Pas le mirage de 1989.
Au travail.
@John_Dabell@LorraineWillis1@British_Airways Come ON @British_Airways Get John sorted out. 😳😳
This man has faced the most horrendous health challenges in the past & you are letting him down. Please find some way of sorting this out! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
To be clear UK Govt, political parties and media. Any of you who press on with the “Kill Twitter” agenda will never get my vote, nor my money through subscriptions, and I’m quite sure I won’t be alone. I want a platform filled with those I agree and disagree with, Free Speech and shared information. Not Govt-controlled propaganda, and pap put out by a media network angered that the LibLeft character of X has changed. We need to solve society’s problems not censor social media. @thetimes@Telegraph@BBC@spectator@TimesRadio@SkyNews@UKLabour@Conservatives@LibDems@reformparty_uk
Lol. BBC turned off replies as I was typing this. So Repost instead.
"Ed Davey asks if there should be a crackdown on platforms like X where ordinary people are able to voice their legitimate concerns about political issues, expose events which politicians want to remain hidden, and repeatedly call out lying politicians via Community Notes".
I’ve seen this video.
Made me sick to the pit of my stomach. I’m hoping the victim is ok🙏🏻.
Also makes me feel a rage too about what has been done to this country.
And no, I don’t feel that way because Farage or anyone else told me to.
I feel that way because I am human.
