[Dr Philip Kiszely @KiszelyPhilip]

A year before 7/7 I was stabbed, beaten and left for dead on a street in Manchester. It was a gang of Somali youths. My colleagues - I was working at a university - couldn’t bring themselves to blame the perpetrators. It was poverty, it was me, it was anything. But it wasn’t the masked thugs with stanley knives.

7/7 was the same. London Mayor Ken Livingstone urged us not to apportion blame. Even now the MSM refuses to acknowledge the Islamist nature of the crime. It’s an extraordinary state of affairs.

Years later, in 2017, when twenty-two people, some of them children, were killed in the Manchester Arena attack, history repeated itself. Don’t look back in anger. One Love. Shit poetry.

The stabbing I got over. But it took me years to come to terms with the pathetic reaction from the hand-wringing identitarians. That was really, really damaging. So I understand full well the harm we do to ourselves when we pretend 7/7 was some bizarre and contextless tragedy.

It was Islamist terror - and there’s more to come.

And you know what? We have absolutely no hope of effectively dealing with it.

Mechanically, I can see that only comes about if it's (a) advantageous to Labour or (b) fiscal crisis.

France is in similar situation and they might need IMF bailout before we do - they don't have sufficient funds to bail us both out so I assume we'll have to print the difference.

For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position.

The Sudanese man arrested for the attempted beheading was granted leave to remain in the UK by the Home Office, led by now-Reform MPs Braverman and Jenrick, on the 28th of September 2023.

On the 26th of October 2023, one month later, Jenrick formally answered a parliamentary question with the following statements...

"The UK has a proud history of supporting refugees."

"The UK is proud to have welcomed Sudanese nationals"

"we also welcome eligible Sudanese nationals through our refugee family reunion route."

This is what Reform's 'shadow chancellor' has said about welcoming unvetted Sudanese fighting age men.

It is scandalous.

I want to know exactly what Jenrick and Braverman knew about these Sudanese men they were allowing to stay in Britain.

What checks were made? Criminal records? Anything?

They were welcoming young men from a brutally backward country that has an entirely alien culture completely incompatible with our way of life.

Why let them in? Why do it? Why endanger British men and women? How many more did they let in?

I am putting a number of formal questions/FOIs to the Home Office to obtain that information.

Jenrick and Braverman were responsible for our borders, they held the power - they let this man in, and then handed him a visa.

It is sickening.

A disgraceful failure that must never be forgotten.

These mean less than they used tbh. But still an impressive showing.

Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, scientific research, and vision.

The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.

To everyone accusing folks of jumping to conclusions before due process ... I understand the sentiment but please exercise some compassion for the communities who are seeing their local towns deteriorate day after day.

Of course people should wait for the facts before jumping to conclusions. But people are tired of being gaslit on these issues by folks such as yourself.

There is obviously a link between this crime and extremely high levels of migration from some of the most violent countries in the world - if you can't admit that, you really are not acting in good faith.

What would it take for you to admit there is some sort of issue here?

I returned to the UK after living elsewhere for 5 years; sure, the other place had a tonne of problems - there is no panacea.

But, seeing 5 years of deterioration compressed into a small window has made me realise how bad it has become.

Every high-street littered with dubious shops, masked bike riders flying round with no concern for anyone else, theft-boxes on groceries, daily stories of horrifically violent crimes.

Meanwhile, government statistics say everything is getting better. I simply don't believe it.

Something is rotten in the state of Britain.

Police are nowhere to be seen. Those who speak up put theirselves at physical risk. Respect for authority is at all time lows. Taxes at all time highs.

Something is rotten in the state of Britain.

It didn't used to be like this. It's never been perfect, sure. It is worse now.

I hope rock bottom is close now because there needs to be a forceful push back to respectful, civil and safe society.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Patriots - if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants.

Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police.

The state will show you no mercy.

The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever.

It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it.

Protest - but do it loudly, do it peacefully.

If the police are being aggressive, record it. Film it. Do not react. Because you will not be shown the same leniency as the officers. You will be charged, you will be sentenced, you will be imprisoned.

We’re all angry.

But you will achieve far more for our cause and country OUTSIDE of prison.

@eudaimoniawuwei @timevalueofbtc Hmmm. Thanks for the reply. I don't really think that answers things though.

PoW or not, there have been major BTC bugs in the past (quickly patched) that were not stopped simply because BTC is secured by Proof of Work.

[The Spectator @spectator]

The Greens have given a key post in their new ruling cabinet in the London borough of Lambeth to a man who has justified violence, condemned Remembrance services as "insidious" and demanded a move away from "kinder, gentler politics" to putting "heads on sticks.".

Not content with having two of their candidates arrested for stirring up racial hatred (they remain under investigation), Lambeth Greens, who have just taken power in the South London borough, can also bring you Councillor Michael Chessum, cabinet member for the "economy, cost of living and empowered communities."

Yeh, agree. Although I think there is a limit as to what can be achieved through state-controlled or societal levers to be honest.

There are obvious examples where state intervention has improved social mobility without massive trade-offs but it is my personal belief, that we're at a point now where most government interventions actually lead to a worse place than where we started.

Nazir notes there are 60 black people among the 1,100 Brits in the Colour of Power Index: 5.4%.

Black people as a percentage of the total UK population: 4%.

So how are black people being under-represented on that metric? What would be an acceptable percentage to him?

(And, yes, I note the absence of black people in certain high level jobs but I would suggest that's far more likely to be an issue of social and economic background, education and family breakdown than it is one of race.)

Ladybird Books has published a Happy Pride image on Instagram featuring a Muslim woman in hijab.

Ladybird is one of the UK's biggest children's books publishers and its books are read by kids as young as two.

The image features a Muslim woman in hijab carrying a baby alongside another woman.

A caption reads: "Everyone should be free to be themselves, no matter who they are or who they love."

Homosexual acts are strictly forbidden in Islam.
