I was shopping in Brighton and antizionists tried to stop me buying Israeli goods from Waitrose. They said I’d be “racist” to buy them. I asked if it was xenophobic to boycott a whole nation. They had no answers. So I bought LOADS of Israeli products and they were NOT happy.

I was arrested, interviewed under caution for 2 hours by two sturdy lllllllesbians and my case sent to the @CPSUK for the crime of… ‘causing offence to myself’.

How dare Bridget Phillipson and Stonewall say that parents that seek to dissuade their daughters from trying to live "as men" or their sons from trying to live "as women" are not compassionate.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

🚨 Britain’s migrant population grew more than than any other country in Europe between 2000 and 2024.

7.1 million.

That’s equivalent to the *entire population of Bulgaria*.

Even countries like Spain - which has twice the land mass of the UK - took fewer.

A conga line of Tory and Labour ministers orchestrated an unprecedented population explosion.

The foreign-born share of the population doubled.

British people suffer the consequences every day in their wages and access to housing, services, and medical care.

The scale of the betrayal beggars belief.

Reform will end this madness.

We will sustain negative migration, reverse the Boriswave and deport all illegal migrants.

Time to put British people first.

We've reported Hackney Islamic Community Centre to the Charity Commission after it promoted "physical discipline" for "disobedient" wives, including those who refuse their husbands sex, and condoned the execution of gay people and accused 'witches':

As Sandie begins another tribunal; this time taking on her own union, the Royal College of Nursing, I hope she succeeds.

This could become a particularly significant hearing... Bethany Hutchison and Jennifer Melle have been called to give evidence. Both have their own experiences of seeking support from the RCN while caught up in disputes involving sex, gender identity and protected beliefs.

The tribunal is therefore not simply going to hear Sandie’s account of how one nurse says she was treated by her union. It is expected to hear evidence from other nurses about their experiences with the same organisation. These women are nurses. They have spent their careers caring for other people. Trade-union members are entitled to expect their union to represent them fairly and without unlawful discrimination.

So today: I stand with Sandie Peggie and every woman who should never be left to fight for her privacy and dignity; and certainly not without the support of the RCN or whatever Union is supposed to represent them!

Every glib, arrogant, virtue-signalling celebrity who’s broadcast the lie that kids will kill themselves if not allowed to transition deserves to have this read aloud to them non-stop through a megaphone for a year.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Labour’s controversial Islamophobia definition — and the process by which it came to be — stinks more and more of a cover-up every day.

It was bad enough that Angela Rayner appointed five individuals to the Working Group tasked with drafting the definition, all of whom had troubling links to Islamist organisations, including the Muslim Council of Britain and MEND.

Now, thanks to a Freedom of Information request by Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy, it has emerged that every submission to the Working Group’s consultation was deleted — apparently in breach of the Government’s own data policy.

At every turn, Labour ministers have refused to answer straightforward questions from parliamentarians and key stakeholders such as the Free Speech Union.

Who submitted evidence to the consultation? Did extremists have an opportunity to influence the drafting of the definition? Did ministers instruct officials to delete every response?

It has also been revealed that the Government pressed the Equality and Human Rights Commission to accept the proposed definition, despite the EHRC’s objections.

The EHRC and the Free Speech Union repeatedly warned that the definition was unnecessary and would have a chilling effect on free speech. Laws already exist to protect people from religious hatred and discrimination. If Labour genuinely cared about tackling actual instances of anti-Muslim hatred, it would focus on enforcing those laws.

Instead, it is sacrificing free speech on the altar of electoral ambition.

Writing in The Critic, Nick Timothy says: “This pernicious definition is being used exactly as we said it would — to conflate religion and race and silence discussion of Islam.”

When Nick criticised a mass Muslim public prayer event in Trafalgar Square, he was branded Islamophobic, reported to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and even faced calls to resign from then Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

As he writes: “Time and again, those of us who have raised concerns that this definition — which the Government is formally recommending all public and private organisations adopt — may restrict free speech have been ignored.”

Ministers insist the definition will not chill free speech. Yet Bridget Phillipson used the dispatch box to call Nick racist, then refused to correct the record or apologise.

Labour must come clean about who helped draft this new Islamic blasphemy law — and why it went ahead with it.

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

Angela Rayner won't tell us who she consulted on her anti-free speech "Islamophobia definition".

And now her department says that the records have being destroyed.

What possible public interest could there be in covering this up? What is she trying to hide?

[Claes Theilgaard @ClaesTheilgaard]

I næste måned skal jeg vidne mod den kendte muslimske debattør Mohamed Abdi Kahn.

Årsagen er, at han sidste år kom med trusler mod mig og min daværende arbejdsplads, B.T.

Truslerne kom i kølvandet på, at jeg havde skrevet en afslørende artikel om en topfigur i Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Det fik Mohamed Abdi Kahn til i en kommentar på Facebook at anklage mig og B.T. for at “krænke” og “angribe” det, han kaldte “vores brødre og søstre”.

“Muslimske brødre i DK skal faktisk komme sammen, lave en plan og bekæmpe dem. Vi kan stoppe dem, og det skal vi gøre på den hårde og smertefulde måde,” fortsatte han.

I en anden kommentar skrev Mohamed Abdi Kahn, at “nu søger vi deres personlige informationer og adresser, så vores muslimske brødre kan bruge det”.

“Vi har nu personlige informationer om Claes Kirkeby Theilgaard og de bliver snart offentliggjort til relevante personer,” skrev han kort herefter.

De kommentarer har nu ført til, at Mohamed Abdi Kahn er tiltalt for offentlig tilskyndelse til forbrydelse efter straffelovens paragraf 136, stk. 1.

Retssagen finder sted den 27. oktober, og anklagemyndigheden går efter fængselsstraf.

Men uanset hvad retten måtte nå frem til, er jeg glad for at leve i et land, hvor myndighederne tager den her slags sager alvorligt.

Desværre er Mohamed Abdi Kahns trussel blot en ud af flere, jeg har modtaget som følge af mit journalistiske arbejde.

Personligt har jeg for længe siden besluttet mig for, at jeg ikke vil lade mig kue.

Derfor fortsætter jeg også ufortrødent.

Jeg håber, at du vil følge med! #dkpol #dkmedier

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

It is extraordinary that clerics and scholars who have been banned in Muslim countries are allowed to 'preach' here

Could it be that the Home Secretary is a Muslim, whose religion hinders her attempts to be even-handed ?

[British Intel @TheBritishIntel]

John Cleese, 86, is being targeted by activist group Deenified as he tours England with his Holy Grail stage show. The group has accused him on X of "using your platform to attack Islam" and "spreading dangerous misinformation," with one activist calling free speech "a convenient shield for anti-Muslim hostility."

Cleese rejects the Islamophobe label entirely, calling himself "Islamosceptic," and has pointed out nobody ever called him "Christophobic" after Life of Brian. Islamic outlet 5Pillars has gone further still, explicitly demanding he be de-platformed.

Rupert Lowe has already called this what it is: a pressure group trying to bully an 86-year-old man into silence over jokes and honest opinions. He's right, and he's right to tell Restore Britain to back Cleese publicly.

These people don't want dialogue. They want submission. Every time someone caves to this kind of pressure, it teaches them the tactic works, and they come back harder next time for the next target. Cleese is refusing to bow, and every single person who values the right to criticise a religion without getting hounded for it should be standing directly behind him.

Protect @JohnCleese, at all costs.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

In what world did the Government think it acceptable to delete every response to the consultation that helped draft the anti-Muslim hostility definition — Britain’s new Islamic blasphemy law?

It is clear there has been a cover-up in Angela Rayner’s Communities Department.

Did ministers allow extremists to influence the definition while excluding the Free Speech Union and the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) from the process?

This is a national disgrace. The public deserves to know the truth.

The anti-Muslim hostility definition has already had a chilling effect on free speech. It has been weaponised by activists, police forces and even Labour MPs to silence legitimate criticism and debate about Islam.

[Family Education Trust @FamEdTrust]

We look forward to seeing the Government ensure all women are able to live with “freedom and opportunity” and tackle misogynistic attitudes which oppress them.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

1) You voted against a national inquiry into rape gangs THREE TIMES.

2) You openly stated that you agree with Labour's legal team that the rights of illegal migrants are more important than the rights of the British people.

3) You dismissed the valid concerns of women and girls in Piddington about their safety.

4) You refuse to deport, continue to allow in, and place thousands of illegal, unvetted young men from misogynistic cultures *in our communities* who are statistically MUCH more likely to commit sexual offences against women and girls.

You couldn't care less.
You're utterly vile.

[Women's Policy Centre @womenpolicyctr]

At the Women’s Policy Centre, we strongly oppose the decision of the Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah to award a man who subjects his wife to abuse by concealing her identity in such a barbaric manner. No religion can permit anyone to deny the dignity and freedom of women. Centuries of gradual adaptation and applied theology have established gender equality in the Church of England, with a woman now holding the highest office. Yet the same woman allows a man from another religion to deny his wife the same rights. This is unacceptable. No awards should ever be given to such men in the UK. We shall not normalise the subjugation of women, for any reason, whatever the religion.

[Bruce Bowman @boswelltoday]

This is superb.

The lesson begins with the usual catechism: J.K. Rowling has “bigoted opinions”.

Then someone makes the unforgivable mistake of reading what she actually wrote.

Suddenly, certainty requires definitions. Slogans require evidence. “Everyone knows” requires rather more than everyone saying it.

Critical thinking really is murder on a fashionable consensus.
