It appears that (as many of us have suspected for years) Amnesty believes certain kinds of humans don’t deserve rights: women, girls and those who are proudly same-sex attracted. I hope donors from those groups are taking note.

Transgenderism is an uncontrolled society-scaled experiment in conformity and obedience: a test of how far you can make people parrot absurdities, inflict cruelties, collude with unrealities, and ostracize and punish people for things they do not themselves believe.

It is a test of whether the moral self-abasements and routine betrayals that occurred in the Soviet Bloc with its secret police and political prisons and armies of informants could be replicated in liberal, democratic, and pluralistic societies that lacked this formal apparatus of repression: whether minor rewards and punishments could force people to punish people for stating the most self-evident of all truths and inspire them to cheer on the chemical castration and dismemberment of their own children. It is a test of whether civil liberties organization could be twisted into instruments of state repression and human rights groups instruments of defamation and violence against women.

It is a test that most of the Western world is failing.

The BBC Fabricated Trump's Words. Starmer Wants It Boosted For Fighting Disinformation.

This week, the same government that announced it would ban under-16s from most social media platforms confirmed a second policy. Force Facebook, YouTube and every major platform to algorithmically boost content from the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. The stated reason is fighting disinformation. The timing makes that justification impossible to take at face value.

The BBC spliced together two separate parts of a Donald Trump speech, delivered an hour apart, to make it appear he had directly told his supporters to march on the Capitol and fight, while cutting the part where he told them to protest peacefully. This was not sloppy editing. It was a constructed sequence designed to produce a false impression of what was said. Trump is now suing the BBC for ten billion dollars. The corporation's own internal memo, leaked to the Telegraph last autumn, documented the edit alongside a pattern of other failures. Extensive uncritical airtime given to Hamas on BBC Arabic. A rogue unit of activist reporters censoring coverage of the trans debate to fit a predetermined narrative. A report calling car insurers racist that was found to be, in the BBC's own words, thoroughly wrong. This week it emerged the corporation sacked a presenter for criticising its Gaza coverage while taking no action against reporters who appeared to celebrate the October 7th attacks.

This is the organisation that Starmer wants boosted in the name of trusted information. Not a minor broadcaster with an isolated error. An institution funded by £3.7 billion a year in compulsory licence fees, facing a billion dollar lawsuit for fabricating a world leader's words, accused of one sided reporting on the most contested conflicts of our time, and now positioned by law to be placed ahead of every independent voice on every major platform in the country.

Put this alongside the under-16s ban and the pattern stops looking like coincidence. One policy restricts what young people can access. The other restructures what everyone sees first, adults included, engineering visibility in favour of the state broadcaster and against the independent platforms where this government's record, on Belfast, on Makerfield, on the asylum backlog and on every other documented failure, gets challenged daily by people it cannot easily silence. Bluesky escaped the social media ban despite its own documented child safety failures. The BBC gets promoted despite a documented record of fabrication. Both decisions share the same logic. Visibility for institutions the government finds comfortable. Restriction for the platforms where it does not.

Lord Young of Acton, the human rights lawyer who founded the Free Speech Union, put it with the right amount of contempt. The Prime Minister has apparently decided that censoring social media should be his legacy, which is strange territory for a former human rights lawyer to choose. It is strange only if you assume the goal was ever free expression rather than managed expression. Nothing in this government's conduct this month supports that assumption.

A government that needs to legislate prominence for its preferred broadcaster is not protecting the public from disinformation. It is admitting that its preferred broadcaster cannot earn that prominence on the evidence of its own reporting, and has decided to mandate by law what trust no longer provides voluntarily. That is not journalism policy. It is state media privilege written into platform regulation, arriving in the same fortnight as a ban on what sixteen year olds may read, from a government that is rapidly running out of ways to disguise what it is actually doing.

A woman has been arrested shortly before she was allegedly about to carry out a mass murder near Las Vegas.

Nowhere in the local TV report or article does it mention that the police state in the arrest report that this woman is actually a man.

For now a third year in a row, graduation ceremonies at @EdinburghUni are being hijacked by ‘pro Palestinians’. You have to wonder what they are being taught.
One parent wrote to me: ‘It was an absolutely disgusting disgrace.
‘Student after student got up to get their degree in a keffiyah and then unfurled a piece of cloth with the sort of shit you would expect from braindead privileged wokesters who have been spoonfed Jew hate.
‘And then at the end just after the student speech all the morons got up and were allowed to protest and march out of the hall waving their pieces of benighted cloth covered in blood libels.
‘I am beyond incandescent at what I was made to sit through. I don't think I have ever been made to feel so othered at a public event before in my life.
‘That’s our only child's only graduation. Ruined.’

My dear Michael,

There you were. Perched upon your little GB News stool, eyes gleaming with that particular brand of performative earnestness you have perfected over decades of public betrayal. The topic was Britishness. A subject you apparently believe you own, like a trademark.

You looked at Michelle Dewberry, a woman asking straightforward questions about identity and belonging, and you responded with the smooth condescension of a vicar explaining communion to a confused toddler. "One of the glories about the United Kingdom," you began. As if you were about to recite poetry. As if you had not spent your entire career trading in the very anxieties you now find so distasteful.

The exchange turned to demographics. To the perfectly reasonable concern that native Britons might find themselves strangers in their own country. And what did you do? You reached for the England football team. You reached for Rishi Sunak's parents. You reached for every cheap, lazy deflection in the progressive playbook. When she dared mention the word "white," you pounced. "Once you start talking about black and white as what defines British, that is problematic."

Problematic. There it is. The vocabulary of the campus activist, emerging from the mouth of a man who once posed as a conservative. You spent nine minutes explaining why someone from Mogadishu who arrived last Tuesday is just as British as someone whose family farmed Yorkshire soil for twelve generations. You called it integration. The rest of us recognize it as obliteration.

You were not debating. You were lecturing. Deploying that soft, reasonable tone that masks the steel of absolute ideological certainty. The same tone you used when you were betraying your own party on Brexit. The same tone you used when you were cheerleading for lockdowns. The same tone you used when the High Court found you broke the law handing £560,000 to your friends at Public First. The same tone you used when you referred Michelle Mone's company for £203 million in PPE contracts. The same tone you used when you ran that Orwellian "Clearing House" to block journalists' freedom of information requests. The same tone you used when you admitted to snorting cocaine while writing columns condemning middle class drug use.

And the pièce de résistance. When she refused to accept your civics lesson, you accused her of making it about skin color. The oldest trick. The cheapest shot. You have learned your lines well from your former friends on the left.

You are not a conservative, Michael. You are a shape shifter. A man who believes in nothing except the next appointment. A man who spent £600,000 of taxpayer money defending his own unlawful conduct. A man who now sits in the House of Lords for life as Baron Gove of Torry, editing The Spectator, having seamlessly transitioned from ministerial office to media gatekeeper. And on this occasion, you were particularly vile because you did it all with that smug little smile. That knowing look that says "I am the cleverest boy in the room."

You are not. You are merely the most flexible.

You have broken the law, trafficked millions to your friends, and snorted your way to a lifetime peerage, yet here you are editing The Spectator with that same insufferable smirk, proving that in modern Britain there is no failure so complete that it cannot be rebranded as success.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE WRITING IN THE SPECTATOR. YOU NEED TO BE WRITING APOLOGY LETTERS FROM JAIL.

77 years of ‘genocide’ and the Palestinian population has grown from under 1 million to over 5 million.

Israel must be the most incompetent genocidal nation in history.
