Jason Arday was a professor of Sociology with a six-figure salary and an advance payment of 1.4 million for his book. It seems even without being financially and economically exploited, he wouldn't have been able to clear all the allegations against him. #ColonialJustice
@SLC_Repayment I'm asked to update my work details with the #CouncilTax bill and #drivinglicence, you threatened a penalty if I don't provide them. Can I send these via DM on #X? Also, I need to make a Subject Access #Request. Please advise on how to proceed. @SF_England#UK

@zarahsultana She calls Burnham 'complicit in genocide' and attacks the Parliament she serves in. She took an oath to that Parliament, gets paid by it, and its Speaker has close ties to Israel. If she truly believes the system is genocidal, why is she still taking a salary from it?
#Pakistan needs #UK money. But if the UK fights #Russia, they'll demand bases and #airspace. If Pak says yes, Russia attacks Pak. If say no, the UK sanctions. So the real choice isn't 'money or no money' – it's 'lose aid' versus 'get bombed.' Any rational state picks losing aid.
🚨 NEW: Allies of Vladimir Putin have called for nuclear strikes on Britain over Ukraine's use of their drones
"Hit [Britain's arms factories] with Poseidon. Give the British three days to learn to breathe underwater, then hit them with Poseidon"
@nathancofnas Jason Adray’s death isn’t just a loss — it’s a fracture in the world’s wisdom. Minds like his are often pressured out of the light long before they can become the role models they were meant to be.
@Nigel_Farage Even if all EU Settled residents became British citizens, what guarantee is there that they wouldn’t later be told they’re not entitled because they weren’t born in England or their parents weren’t British?
@ZiaYusufUK Not only community work many of them could run Parliament and other public authorities, fix the two tier justice system, set rules, and make policies at no cost, which would save a great deal.
@BBCWorld It will be very hard for EU families to survive, because colonial justice is already oppressive toward non‑EU citizens and now toward EU citizens, and the IMA says they have no jurisdiction to oversee breaches of the Withdrawal Agreement when HMCTS, courts or tribunals involved.
Real transfer of power to the people will only happen when #twotier, #ColonialJustice Syatem stops abusing human rights and stops shielding the abuses committed by public authorities.
In a well-informed column @Fahdhusain tells us what is about to happen. It seems that the 28th amendment will finally transfer power to the people, the most important step of a federal system. I copy below two of Fahd’s 10 points.
2. An empowered local government system is now inevitable. PML-N, PPP and PTI have resisted this reform for years for no other reason than their selfish political interests, but that resistance is now at its end. Punjab, probably the worst offender, has already sanctioned twelve billion rupees for holding local government elections. It is however too late. The weak forms of LGs legislated by the four provinces are likely to be replaced with legislation that will change not just the mode of elections, but also the role of LGs armed with significantly greater powers. Second irony: people will gain at the expense of political parties.
3. Additional administrative units are a work in progress, which means the final shape of things may not be well, final. Do political parties have the option of saying thanks but no thanks? For now, it appears not. Whatever negotiation has to happen, has to happen before the new constitutional amendment is tabled in the parliament. The drafters have learned lessons from the passage of the 26th Amendment as well as from the Punjab canals episode, and would prefer not to have any political stakeholder create a public fuss.

@SangitaMyska Colonial justice doesn’t just punish bodies; it exhausts minds. Jason Arday was forced to prove he wasn’t a fraud while the system had already decided. Fighting back costs time, your only irreplaceable resource. That’s not justice. That’s elimination by exhaustion.
🚨🚨
Gravest damage was done not by generals or bureaucrats but by judges. The judiciary was meant to be the citizen’s shield — the one institution whose purpose is to say no to power on the authority of law. But it too was a colonial inheritance, and carried the reflex in its bones: under the Raj it had served the sovereign, not the subject, and at independence it transferred that loyalty from the departed Crown to the new establishment, not the people. So when the tanks rolled, the courts, again and again, said yes. They fashioned a doctrine of necessity to legalise the seizure of power; they swore in usurpers; they dressed lawlessness in the robes of law. The colonial mind inside the judiciary has cost this country more than any single dictator, for it turned the guardian of the Constitution into the notary of its breach.
Why did they give in? For three human reasons that have nothing to do with law. The first is fear: independence has cost judges their careers, their liberty, at times their lives. The second, and the least confessed, is comfort — the office, the title, the house and the car. The third is isolation — the weight of standing alone when colleagues have already found reasons to look away. What resists them is the one thing a law degree does not issue: character.
