If you walk in Berlin's middle section you will suddenly notice a window in the floor with shelves that can holds 20,000 books located beneath your feet.
This is known as the Bebelplatz.
It is the place German Naz|s burned more than 20,000 books belonging to Jews and other people they disliked back in 1933.
The memorial was designed by Israeli artist Micha Ullman.
Guess who burned these books?
It was professors, and universities students who were deeply infatuated with Naz|sm and Antisemitism.
Remember this next time you wonder why academia is so silent and even complacent about the shocking rise of Antisemitism.

This is a really difficult read.
Long covid and related conditions are still affecting many an in such a severe way.
Given how severe the condition can be and how many it affects it's a surprise more funding isn't being dedicated to fighting the illness

In recent years, a number of jurisdictions have brought in new legislation to make #coercivecontrol a crime. Learn about laws around the world that criminalize non-physical abuse, including coercive and controlling behavior.

It’s the right thing to do @ShabanaMahmood but appalling that Henry’s family have even had to fight this hard to get the ‘independent review’.
I have no doubt the abject failures of our public agencies will once more be shamefully exposed.
When will you listen?
When will you act?
Our policing, our watchdogs, our health service is FAILING.
How many more innocent lives must be taken and decent families destroyed because those who didn’t do their jobs properly failed to take any accountability.

The BBC has agreed to pay £400,000 to an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who alleged she was subjected to antisemitism and pushed out of the corporation after October 7.
Lucie Kon, 57, spent 22 years at the BBC and worked on programmes including Panorama, Today, BBC Breakfast and Storyville. Films she commissioned or helped produce won an Oscar, Emmy and Bafta.
Kon says her treatment changed dramatically after the Hamas attacks. She alleges colleagues described Zionists like her as “evil”, argued that Israel should be called terrorist if Hamas was, and told her to consider what had driven Hamas to carry out the massacre.
When she proposed a documentary about October 7, Kon says she was told she was “too partial” to oversee it because she was Jewish.
She subsequently filed a formal grievance, but a BBC investigation rejected her complaint. Kon says she was then kept away from work for months. During a restructuring, her position was made redundant and she failed to secure the similar role replacing it.
She launched unfair-dismissal proceedings.
The BBC has now agreed substantial compensation, reported as £400,000, without admitting liability or accepting that Kon suffered antisemitism.
Kon says Jewish employees still at the corporation continue to face hostility and feel unable to identify openly as Jewish or Zionist.
SENIOR BBC PRODUCER speaks out about anti-Israel bias: "All the mistakes in this particular war seem to be in the same direction."
Phil Craig, a senior producer who worked on Panorama, has accused the BBC of bias in their coverage of the war in Gaza.
He says BBC has became partisan due to groupthink on this particular subject.
Let’s be clear:
If I’m not going to sleep with you, I don’t need to know anything about your sexuality.
And children—who are not going to sleep with anyone—certainly don’t.
Your sexuality is not sacred. It’s not a personality, it’s not a protected class of performance art, and it’s not the center of anyone’s moral universe but your own. Unless we are in a relationship, I am not obligated to acknowledge, affirm, or be exposed to your private desires—especially not in public, and especially not in front of children.
This used to be understood. Now it’s called hate.
No, We Don’t Owe You an Audience
Sexuality belongs in the private realm. It is intimate by definition. If you feel compelled to wear your kink on your sleeve—or on a float, or in a first-grade classroom—you are not inviting understanding, you are demanding submission. You are violating others’ right not to participate.
Consent doesn’t vanish because your fetish is “progressive.” If anything, the burden is higher.
No one consents to being flashed on the subway. No one consents to a stranger’s arousal. No one consents to a stranger telling their child about masturbation, kink, gender identity, or pornographic categories under the guise of “inclusive sex ed.” Yet all of this is happening now—in public parks, in classrooms, in televised programming.
It is not tolerance. It is invasion.
Children Are Not Here to Validate You
Children are not queer. Children are not sexual. Children do not need to “see themselves represented” in a spectrum of adult desire. This idea—that identity is only valid if sexualized and mirrored—is narcissism, not pedagogy.
There is no legitimate reason to initiate a child into the language of sexual preference, gender identity, or alternative lifestyles. The only people who benefit from that dynamic are those looking to normalize boundary violations.
Let me state it plainly:
Children who are not going to have sex do not need to be exposed to sexuality.
Period.
Any adult who insists otherwise is not confused. They are grooming.
Public Fetishism Is Not Liberation
There is a vast difference between being gay and demanding the right to simulate sex acts in front of children. Between being transgender and insisting on teaching kindergartners about breast removal. Between being proud of who you are and insisting the whole world observe your kink play in the street.
This is not diversity. This is decay.
Men in dog masks being walked on leashes by their lovers are not brave—they are forcing strangers into their psychodrama. This is exhibitionism, and when children are present, it becomes criminal exhibitionism.
We used to know this. Peeping, flashing, voyeurism—these were considered red flags. Dangerous behaviors. Early signs of escalation. Now they’re filmed, hashtagged, and funded by public grants.
Stop Calling It Love—It’s Entitlement
This is not about who you love. It’s about how you demand to be seen. If you need the entire public to witness, applaud, and adapt to your sexuality, you’re not a pioneer—you’re an emotional colonizer.
Love does not demand a captive audience. It does not parade past toddlers. It does not demand that schools teach four-year-olds about “preferred pronouns.” Love protects children. Love guards modesty. Love waits.
And if you can’t wait—if you need to be seen, affirmed, and obeyed—you’re not talking about love. You’re talking about power.
Consent Applies to Culture, Too
We teach children that consent is sacred—so why are we failing to apply that lesson to public life?
No child consents to drag queen story hour.
No parent consents to leather harnesses on city floats.
No woman consents to being exposed to male sexuality in the ladies’ room, or in the school library, or anywhere she cannot opt out.
Consent is not just for sex. It’s for everything.
Attention. Language. Presence. Ideology. Imagery.
And we are done pretending we don’t notice when it’s violated.
The boundary is back.
And we are drawing it in bold.
Rahmeh Aladwan is a doctor in Britain.
She wants people who blaspheme against Islam to be killed.
I wrote to the General Medical Council calling for her to be struck off.
They have now confirmed that she is under investigation for her statement.
A rare moment of political courage in the British Parliament.
British MP Nick Timothy tells Muslims crying “Islamophobia” to shove it: “Muhammad was a false prophet. Britain is not bound by Islam or Sharia.”
Mohammed Yousaf is a solicitor in Bradford.
He was caught on camera offering to help people fraudulently avoid fines for employing illegal workers.
He said he does it "all the time".
I've written to the Solicitors Regulator calling for him to be struck off.
Sarah Helm, wife of the UK national security adviser Jonathan Powell, has far worse social media than was reported at the weekend. She's compared Israel to the Nazis; defended Hamas; and questioned reports of their mass rape. Me for the Spectator. https://t.co/qHXsDC9F4j
This picture was taken exactly three years ago.
Something inside me broke when I learned this newly orphaned baby is the son of Hadar and Itay Berdichesky from Kibbutz Kfar Azza who got killed while fighting to defend their babies.
The twin babies survived and were left alone for many hours until they were rescued by these Israeli medics.
I cry every time I see this picture 💔
I just left a screening of the 47-minute film documenting Hamas’s October 7 atrocities. The Jewish community formally invited Mayor Mamdani to join us.
More than 100 seats. Every single one occupied except one.
His.
The first question you should ask someone who has an opinion on the conflict between Israel and Hamas is: Have you read the Hamas Charter? If you haven't, sorry, but you don't have informed opinion as this article points out from a man who has two PhD's studying Islam https://t.co/pQVIYXonWF
