Without the rule of law, there is no democracy.
Without critical thinking, there is chaos.

@CynicalPublius @AirCanada Look at the case where they were sued and were found liable because their AI chatbox gave incorrect information.

It's inspiring for all, what can be achieved with hard work, ingenuity, positivity and goals.
In America, you can achieve anything.
Dismiss the left and their politics of envy. They want to pull you down, not moving civilisation forward, whilst they themselves accumulate wealth from taking, not creating.
To Mars 🚀

🇬🇧 Autocracy or democracy? 🧐

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Senior figures at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, under the command of Andy Burnham, have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK over their political views.

In a further chilling assault on free speech, staff have also effectively been urged in an email to report colleagues who support Reform.

Fire brigade bosses have also said they are seeking legal advice on what to do about firefighters who decide to stand as Reform UK candidates. This is despite the fact that, unlike police officers, there is no legal bar preventing firefighters from participating in national or local politics.

In their email, fire brigade bosses Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed said: ’We are aware that some staff members have chosen to represent Reform UK in their local areas. We know this may cause concern within our network and wider.

’The individuals involved have been spoken to, to make it clear that as members of GMFRS (Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service) our core values and professional behaviours must be displayed at all times.

’The service is currently seeking formal legal guidance… to ensure we are protected from all perspectives and that our inclusive culture remains safe.

‘Our priority is and always will be ensuring that every member of this network feels supported, respected and safe at work.’

They also confirmed that they would be consulting the Fire Brigades Union on the matter.

In his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM — who is also tipped by some to be a future Prime Minister if he wins the Makerfield by-election — is also Greater Manchester’s Fire Commissioner, responsible for overseeing the service.

General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has now written to Mr Burnham to raise concerns about the chilling effect this has on free speech.

Lord Young said that the ‘clear implication’ of the email from the fire brigade bosses was that ‘representing Reform UK constitutes an inherent threat to the institution’s culture and values and is to be treated as morally suspect’. He also highlighted that no action appears to have been taken against firefighters who support other political parties.

The letter also states: ‘Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.

’The email will create a chilling effect on the free speech of GMFRS employees who support Reform.

’The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer.

‘Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.’

@alx @Rep_Stansbury They do, so must be the latter.

@MurrayWatt Mate, worry about your own party leader.

@MmarianneJoseph These comments are a deliberate attempt to demoralise and undermine national pride for those who went before us.
Ultimately, undermining social cohesion.
Brush it off, we see them for what they are.
Continue with pride!!
You are doing a great job.

@burkylie12 Hmmm, let's ask @JNampijinpa , after all, Monique Ryan accepted her invitation to visit 3 years ago. Remember, it was all over the news. Interested to know if it ever happened. 🧐

@GrayConnolly @parnellpalme Given Australia’s reliance on representative and responsible government, and with Labor holding a large majority, the press's ability to hold the executive to account is important. Increasingly so with Labor blocking 80% of FOI requests.

[Ashley Scott @lightbulb001]

@ClareONeilMP Your colleague Tony Burke sure thinks so.

[Ashley Scott @lightbulb001]

@FSUofAustralia Hopefully it arrives at the High Court in the form of a Constitutional challenge re Foreign Affairs power or implied freedom of political communication.🤞

@Adam_Creighton Let's not forget Albo is a boomer.
Fun fact, 41% of these pollies 👇who were the top investment property owners in Oct 2024 are boomers themselves.
Cutting policies they've milked to ensure, when the middle class is wiped out, they're on top.

@mattjcan So... breaking promises due to changing circumstances is OK according to Labor, then, can we now change government due to changing circumstances??
👏bring on the election!!

[Ashley Scott @lightbulb001]

@AvidCommentator Would have thought that someone who is pushing this policy would, you know, have "lived experience".
Appears, once again, Labor is very good at the whole do as I say, not as I do theory.

[Ashley Scott @lightbulb001]

@timblack7719686 @mark16pg An inconvenient truth that, for some reason, doesn't seem to get the same attention as other practices at the time.

[Ashley Scott @lightbulb001]

@AvidCommentator It would appear the carefully curated propaganda presented as news in Aus has lost it's affectiveness.
Prepare for targeted messaging re misinformation again, and the "need" for new social media laws to control the rabble.

@GeoffWilsonWAM Mind boggling that the very people who benefited from Capital gains are the ones pulling up the ladder for the younger generation, whilst pulling the wool over the public's eye with the spin.

@MarkoMatvikov Do these young voters realise Albo is a boomer himself?
According to his Labor mates, he's part of the problem.
Let's call on him to show how this 'intergenerational spin' can be solved by voluntarily re-distributing his wealth.
Show us how it's done, Albo !!
