[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Angela Rayner must explain why her government department has deleted all responses to the Working Group tasked with drafting the official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility”.

The Free Speech Union exposed that all five members of the group had troubling links to Islamist groups.

This definition has revived Britain’s blasphemy laws via the back door for Islam alone. It is already having a chilling effect on free speech.

The public deserves to know why these responses were deleted.

In left-speak a suicide is a lynching, a defeat is a genocide, austerity is murder and weather is an emergency. The possibility of having a conversation breaks down if there is not even agreement on what words mean.

Wind providing a mere 3% of UK electricity this morning. So we’re having to import 10 times that amount at massive cost. Plus generate almost the same from gas-fired stations expensively kept for this sort of back up. As a result we’re paying an average £136/MWh. Our energy policy is a costly shambles.

He was burning alive, yet he kept re-entering the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle until all six soldiers and the Iraqi interpreter were safe. Burns covered 72% of his body. His first words were, ‘How are my boys?’ He died three weeks later. It took 16 years for him to receive the Medal of Honor. HIS NAME IS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ALWYN C. CASHE, NEVER FORGET!

Our most beautiful friend, Lucy Davis. Please say a prayer for Lucy. She really is a wonderful person. Very few in the industry are kind and gracious like her. And, of course, she's a terrific actress. I know she'd really appreciate it. 🙏✝️ xxx

@HeidiBachram @CharlotteCGill It’s a mental illness.

[David Ball @semperfisaint]

@BellaWallerstei It goes beyond that now. This isn’t about shame or a lack of it. This is a calculated ‘fuck you’ to Jews and Israel. An embrace for Hamas. And a sign to the activists and the associated ‘communities’ that the Green Party are their sort of people. They are beneath contempt.

[Steven Barrett @SBarrettBar]

What really annoys me about this specific antisemitic lie

Is that Israel achieved the lowest level of civilian casualties in urban war

My beautiful Britain, who like Israel, has to fight wars, has never got close to what Israel achieved.

Wes Streeting is a disgrace.

Reminder that no transgenders have ever been murdered in Scotland, that they’re the safest demographic in the UK and are statistically more likely to be murderers than victims.

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

Why are our Government officials allowed to lie like this and not face any scrutiny from the media ?

Zero charges, zero threat. Huge lie.

🚨NEW: At this time, the Met Police say they've found no evidence to support any of the 13 arrested being charged with any offences linked to the "far-right terror threat" to an Islamic festival in Suffolk

Keir Starmer & Andy Burnham spoke on the incident before an investigation

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Absolutely the RIGHT call.

[David Ball @semperfisaint]

@AndrewBowie_MP If only the left’s activist and their political stooges extended the same consideration to those on the opposite side of the aisle. But that shop has sailed. They craft laws aimed at the right leaning but which occasionally cause collateral damage to their own.

The crime they see: 15,415 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef. Every campaign, every documentary, every leaflet through the door since about 2012.

The crime they do: not reading the paper.

The figure is real. It comes from Mekonnen and Hoekstra at the University of Twente, and it is careful, peer-reviewed work. What the campaigns strip out is that the same authors split that number into three parts, because the three parts are not the same thing at all.

Green water is rain. It falls on the grass. The cow eats the grass. For beef, green water is about 94 per cent of that headline.

Blue water is the stuff that matters. Rivers, lakes, aquifers. The stuff that gets pumped, metered, fought over in court, and does not come back.

So here is the blue water, in litres per kilogram, from the same authors, same method, same units.

- Pistachios: 7,602
- Almonds: 3,816
- Walnuts: 2,451
- Dates: 1,250
- Cashews: 921
- Beef: 550

Read that last line again, then go and look at what is in your granola.

The 15,415 counts rain that fell on a Welsh hillside as a cost, against an animal that was standing in it, on land where nothing else grows, in a country where rain is the one thing we have never once been short of.

The pistachio is drinking fourteen times more of the water that actually runs out.

She is outside in the rain right now, getting blamed for it.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

I’ve always backed England if Scotland not involved. I hate the anti-English nonsense of too many Scots. So yes, WE. Do you have a problem with that?

[Steven Barrett @SBarrettBar]

Lucy Connolly's conviction is deeply unsound

The state bullied and coerced a mum into pleading guilty when she obviously wasn't.

We are a nasty society and we won't get better if people listen to Dan.

[David Ball @semperfisaint]

@benonwine Heard their justification was ‘fire safety’. I don’t believe them.

[David Ball @semperfisaint]

@GeorgeUK Would be interested to see their attitude towards other flags. Particularly Pride and Palestine, to see if their diligence is consistent. Also, I would like to know the individual responsible for this policy. He needs to justify this personally. Publicly.

[Fast Jet Performance 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ✈️ @timdavies_uk]

The absolute WORST place you could remove an England flag from is Portsmouth.

You will not find more patriotic people in this country, most have associations with the Royal Navy due to the base there and, oh..

...it's my home town!

Yes, you'll be on my YouTube channel now #dickheadsFAM 😠

She’s been banned from Bluesky, all because she rejoiced in the death of a pensioner & hoped her passing was painful. You can’t say anything these days!
