Douglas Murray explains what Andy Burnham is about.

He is spot on here. 💯Its media spin and no substance.👇👇

[Simon Cooper @simoncooper62]

Well, well, well….

[Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki @MatthewWielicki]

The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out:
The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922.

That’s 104 years ago.

Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages.

So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.

It's not racism, it's culturalism

A culture that aims to overpower all other cultures cannot claim to be 'victimised' if people object

If this aggressive culture soft-pedalled the beheading threats, people might be less alarmed by it

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

If British jews are to be held responsible for what happens in Gaza...then by the same reasoning British Muslims should be held responsible for the massacres of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Breaking: Muslim terrorists just stormed a Christian village in Nigeria and unleashed pure demonic savagery on innocent families who couldn’t run fast enough to escape.

They captured pregnant women and hacked their bellies open with machetes — forcing the young women to witness their own unborn babies die right in front of them as they succumbed to fatal stab wounds.

All because they were Christians who refused to convert to Islam.

No one in the international community, UN, EU, ICC, or ICJ seems to care. Not even Christian leaders in the West.

Please pray for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria.

Douglas Murray at his best.👏👏

He politely wipes the floor with his opponents without actually calling them cnuts.😊

Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech

He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.

Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.

That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.

At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.

Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.

Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

How do you create multiculturalism by assimilating a culture like this ?

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

😡👊Taliban:- "Women don’t need education and that even becoming a doctor or master is unnecessary."
From an Afghan girl studying in secret:
"You say women don’t need education—that becoming a doctor or master is unnecessary.
But I study in silence, hiding my books, because I know education is not a luxury—it is survival.
If women don’t learn, who will treat our mothers when they are sick?
Who will teach the next generation?
Who will stand against injustice?
You can close schools, but you cannot close our minds.
You can ban classrooms, but you cannot stop us from learning.
I am an Afghan girl.
I study in secret today—
so tomorrow, I can stand in the light."

This Muslim convert in Britain calls the October 7th attack a "legendary day."

Who is she, you might ask?

Oh, only the sister in law of former Prime Minister Tony Blair...

イスラム教のとんでもない男尊女卑。

イランのアテフェ・サハーレ(16歳)は、自身が何度も受けた強姦を訴えた為、公衆の面前で絞首刑に処された。

その前には何度も逮捕され、そのたびに100回の鞭打ち刑を言い渡されていた。

こんな宗教を信じる人達と共生なんか出来ない。

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Could someone ask him to read the Koran

For example the bits about killing 'infidels', and child marriage. and sexual slavery, and Female Genital
Mutilation, and how husbands may beat wives, and worst of all, how dogs should be banned

This not standard C of E stuff, is it ?

Or even the bit about imposing Islam on the entire country, which might be irony, but I don't think so

A lot of British people don't really want any of this, and the problem is that the Koran forbids compromise

Not even the Scottish Presbyterians are as assertive as this

[Simon Cooper @simoncooper62]

One can’t believe this

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

Shameful cover up. They absolutely did not want this inquiry now they’re doing everything they can’t to make it pointless!

[Simon Cooper @simoncooper62]

Unbelievable

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

The poor women of Afghanistan. I was at the UN (speaking on sport for women ) when the Taliban turned up & demanded all women be removed from the room for a meeting. The UN complied!

[Simon Cooper @simoncooper62]

I’m very happy with how the countryside is, everyone is welcome!

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

There is a new belief taking hold among Britain's institutions, and it is as dangerous as it is dishonest. The countryside, we are told, is "too white." Not green. Not rural. Not historic. White. And therefore a problem to be fixed.

This is not satire. It is official policy. Government-commissioned reports now describe England's hills, fields, pubs and footpaths as a "white environment" that risks becoming "irrelevant" unless it is reshaped to reflect a "multicultural nation." Rural authorities are instructed to attract specific ethnic groups, redesign access, rewrite interpretation, adjust behaviour, and rebrand culture itself. All paid for by the taxpayer.

This is not about access to nature. No one is barred from walking in the countryside. There are no gates marked by race. What is being objected to is not exclusion, but presence. The wrong people, in the wrong numbers, in the wrong place. Solitude is suspect. Pubs are "problematic." Dogs are a "barrier." Englishness itself is quietly reframed as a form of hostility.

Once again, the pattern is familiar. First the language. Then the targets. Then the money. Culture is recast as a flaw. Continuity becomes "dominance." History is reduced to optics. And the group that built, sustained and preserved these places is told – politely, bureaucratically – that it must adapt or move aside.

What makes this moment different is that the countryside was never in crisis. Cities were transformed by pressure, density, and policy failure. The countryside was stable. Rooted. That stability is precisely why it is now being targeted. It stands as a rebuke to the idea that constant demographic churn is inevitable or desirable. So it must be corrected.

This is demographic engineering, not conservation. The state has decided that England's national landscape reflects the wrong story, and that story must be rewritten. Marketing is altered to show the "right" faces. Outreach is targeted at the "right" groups. Behaviour norms are revised. The land remains, but the meaning is changed.

We are told this is because "we all pay for it." But that argument collapses on contact with reality. If something truly belongs to everyone, you do not single out one group as a problem and instruct it to change. You do not racialise shared space. You do not treat existing culture as a barrier to be dismantled. That is not inclusion. It is displacement by policy.

The same logic now runs through housing, planning and migration. New towns dropped onto villages. Farmland sacrificed. Infrastructure ignored. Numbers driving everything, consent nowhere. The countryside is no longer a living inheritance but a blank surface onto which officials project social outcomes.

And notice the asymmetry. One group must always adapt. One culture must always soften, explain itself, dilute itself. The others are affirmed, accommodated, reassured. That alone tells you this is not about fairness. It is about power.

Once you accept that England itself is a racial problem, nothing is safe. Not villages. Not landscapes. Not history. What survives only does so until the next report declares it "unrepresentative."

The countryside does not need re-education. It does not need racial quotas, rewritten customs, or academic lectures about who belongs. It needs defending because when the state decides a country's heartland is "too white," it has already decided the country itself must change. And once continuity is broken, it does not return.

"The wrong people, in the wrong numbers, in the wrong place. Solitude is suspect. Pubs are "problematic." Dogs are a "barrier." Englishness itself is quietly reframed as a form of hostility."

And now we have masked police officers?

[Faezeh Alavi @SFaeze_Alavi]

I have no hope for the UK's future.

We haven't seen a single crackdown on pro-Hamas rallies.

But UK police have beaten the young & elderly for Iran's Lion & Sun flag.

Islamists are now governing the UK, & they will be a stain on history for attacking Iranians.

Women have the right not to undress in front of men at work.

Twenty years ago, that sentence would have been a statement of such obviousness that people would have laughed at you for saying it aloud. Now it's a matter for celebration. Congratulations, you heroines 🎉😘👏

🚨BRITISH POLICE CAUTION VETERANS FOR WAVING BRITISH FLAG

Those men served this country and defend that flag with their lives

Now the Police say they're being offensive and hateful to migrants

British Police are out of control
