You mean the total of 68,844 Gazan deaths during the war reported by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry (more than half of whom were fighting-age men); a total which makes no acknowledgment of a single terrorist, nor a single Gazan killed by misfired missiles from Gaza aimed at murdering Israeli civilians, nor a single death from natural causes -- and with a civilian to combatant ratio of 1/1.5: 1, a lower proportion of civilians killed than in any other war in the world? https://t.co/L3qmYe4pmq

@AndyBurnhamGM do not go into that Whitehall cesspit. Nothing good will come of it, stay as mayor and make a difference to your community 🙏

@RMTunion Are you suggesting that all prisoners currently on remand should be released or just the political ones that suit your narrative?

Andrew Neil’s superb monologue after the Bataclan terrorist attack in Paris.
Ten years on:
- The BBC wouldn’t air it now.
- Islamist politics has gone mainstream — the method’s changed, the mission hasn’t. The "scumbags" are now MPs.

Labour are about to raise your taxes because Labour don’t want to stop spending £15 billion on asylum hotels, £13 billion a year on foreign aid, £12 billion on Net Zero, £10 billion on welfare for people who aren’t even British, £7 billion importing Afghans, £6 billion subsidising social housing for people who also aren’t British, £4 billion on welfare for people with “anxiety”, £1 billion policing the small boats, £600 million looking after foreign criminals, and £250 million translating NHS material into other languages for people who cannot even be bothered to learn English.

Labour could make different choices; but Labour don’t want to.

@zarahsultana They hate the west but calling for our government to be accepting after decrying our beliefs, culture and religion is crazy. They must have family closer to home, go there.

@HumzaYousaf Stop using civilians as a shield for arms dumps, tunnels and Hamas supporters

WATCH

PIERS MORGAN vs. DOUGLAS MURRAY:

PIERS MORGAN: Do you not feel that something has to give here, that this has to get resolved somehow, and that the only way to do that is, as with all these situations, you have to eventually compromise in some way? The problem for Netanyahu is that people think he is completely incapable of offering Hxmas any compromise. Therefore, there is no deal. So the families of the hostages are still there, and hundreds of thousands of protesters in Israel are on the streets of Tel Aviv right now. They are of the firm belief that it's his own intractable position on this, which is not going to allow any kind of ceasefire to be achievable.

DOUGLAS MURRAY: But there it is again, if I can say so, Piers—it's the same thing. There’s this presumption that it’s Netanyahu who is uncompromising. We end up with this notion because Netanyahu is a democratically elected leader, so it’s assumed that some pressure can be brought to bear on him. In my view, it’s not Netanyahu who’s uncompromising—it’s Hxmas. They could have handed back the hostages last October. They could have chosen not to do any of this.

I mean, they could have tried to build a state since 2005 when Israel withdrew from Gaza and handed the place over to them. Hxmas could have used the billions of dollars in aid that British, European, and American taxpayers gave them since 2006. They could have used that money to build up Gaza, to create a thriving, prosperous society. They could have made it a booming Mediterranean paradise. They could have created wealth for their people, but instead, what did they do?

They built downwards instead of upwards. They constructed a tunnel network bigger than the London Underground, and they siphoned off the money, just like Yasser Arafat did before them, making themselves rich. Why is Ismail Haniyeh worth billions of dollars? Why is Khaled Meshaal worth billions? Why do their children live like princes in luxury apartments in Doha?

Because they took the money from Americans, Brits, and Europeans and kept it for themselves, while leaving the people of Gaza in misery and poverty. Since 2005, there has been a complete counterfactual of what could have happened, but the Hxmas leadership didn’t want that. They’ve openly said they’re willing to use Palestinian children as human shields to manipulate world opinion. These are fanatics. They’re willing to sacrifice their own citizens to turn the world against Israel.

Again, how do you negotiate with that? The assumption in the West today is that because we’re so comfortable, we believe peace is the norm and historically expected. But that’s not true. We always think wars end with compromise and coming to the table, to use the cliché. But historically, most wars end because one side wins, and one side loses.

And one of the reasons, in my view, why there are endless rounds of conflict in this region is because Israel is never allowed to win, and Hxmas is always allowed to come out even. I think that simply sets up the next round of conflict. If Hxmas comes out of this with any fighting capability, then we will see another round of this war in a few years. So when David Lammy and others say we need a peace deal, I’d ask, on what terms? Everyone wants peace—except for Hxmas and the fanatics.

Everyone else wants peace. All those people in the south, the kibbutzniks, the partygoers, and others who were murdered on October 7—they all dreamed of peace with their Palestinian neighbors, their brothers and sisters. Who made that peace impossible? Hxmas, from 2005 to today.

Loving @elonmusk at the moment

[David Atherton @daveatherton]

The CEO of X @elonmusk has called cry-bully @humzayousaf a "super, super racist", & added the MSP “loathes white people”, after his "white" rant in Holyrood.

Yousaf has employed ambulance chaser Aamer Anwar, who said "Anybody (who) thinks free speech is absolute whether in the UK or USA, needs to think again."

Anwar appears to be unfamiliar with America's First Amendment & the Supreme Court's rulings that even hate speech is free speech.

[Oli London @OliLondonTV]

Elon Musk brands Humza Yousaf a “scumbag” after the former Scottish First Minister unleashed a tirade against the 𝕏 owner and threatened legal action after being branded “Super, super racist.”

Yousaf launched an online tirade against Musk claiming he is allowing “White Supremacy” to flourish on the platform with Musk responding by highlighting the politicians history of race-baiting comments, including his infamous anti white speech in the Scottish parliament.

Now the politican has claimed he is considering legal action whilst calling Musk “the most dangerous man in the world.”

Musk responded on X saying:

“He’s obviously super racist against white people. I dare that scumbag to sue me. Go ahead, make my day …”
