Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel:
As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS.
‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’
Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding:
‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’
It’s is a really dark day when a talk about the history of ancient Israel and Judah is cancelled by the British Museum because of ‘security concerns’.
Is this what we do now? We cave in?
Rachel Reeves has found a way to punish people for investing.
That is the absurdity at the heart of this reported ISA raid.
The Government says it wants savers to move away from cash and into stocks and shares.
Fine.
So imagine someone does exactly that.
They open a stocks and shares ISA.
They buy dividend-paying companies.
They build an income stream over years.
They receive dividends into the ISA.
They wait patiently for the right valuation before reinvesting.
That is not tax avoidance.
That is investing.
Serious income investors do not instantly throw every dividend back into the market the second it lands.
They wait.
They compare opportunities.
They build cash.
They look for weakness. They reinvest when the price is attractive.
That is discipline.
Now Reeves reportedly wants a 22pc charge on interest earned from cash held inside a stocks and shares ISA, under “anti-circumvention” rules.
In other words, the Government tells you to invest, then treats the natural cash management process inside investing as suspicious.
It is economically illiterate.
Cash inside a stocks and shares ISA is not necessarily someone “dodging” a cash ISA cap.
It can be dividend income waiting to be redeployed.
It can be proceeds from a sale waiting for a better entry point.
It can be dry powder before results season, a correction, a rights issue, or a market panic.
That is how actual investors behave.
But Labour sees a cash balance and assumes it must be punished.
This is the problem with politicians designing tax rules around headlines rather than reality.
They do not understand investing.
They understand optics.
They want to say they are pushing Britain into equities.
But the policy says something else: invest, receive income, manage risk, wait for value, and we may still come after you.
That is not pro-investment.
That is anti-investor.
If the justice system can swiftly jail native white British people for offensive speech, yet fails to convict these two low IQ products of cousin marriage guilty, it raises serious questions about institutional bias against the country's indigenous population.
This is a national disgrace for the UK.
The Met Police just forced the removal of a sign commemorating Jewish kids massacred at Nova — because they’re too scared of Islamist terror attacks to protect it.
Let that sink in.
Britain — the country that once stood alone against Hitler — now hides Jewish memorials in its capital out of fear of the mobs it imported and indulged. No arrests of the threats. No armed guards. Just surrender: “Take the sign down so the terrorists don’t get angry.”
Cowardice dressed up as “public safety.”
This is 1939 Britain all over again — except this time the appeasement is happening on British soil, against British Jews, while Hamas flags wave openly through London streets.
The Met didn’t fail to protect Jews, they admitted they won't even try!
Shame.
You didn’t keep the peace.
You handed the terrorists a veto over Jewish memory.
Disgraceful.
Spineless.
Unforgivable.
Never Again was a promise — not a polite request.
BREAKING: London’s Nova exhibition to commemorate the Jewish kids massacred on October 7th was removed per police request.
The Met police asked the organizers to take the sign down out of fear of terror attacks on the exhibition.
So grim.
‼️I am staggered at this post from a PM who has watched hate filled matches on our streets every week for 2 years. And has never spoken like this.
Today, he labels every single person in this country, black, white and all shades in between, who are concerned about social cohesion and cultural erosion, as Racist and thugs.
It is unforgivable 🚨
