@jj_sutcliffe@TRobinsonNewEra ‘Russians are not our enemy’ No, they just poisoned Alexander Litvinenko on sovereign English land in Lonndon and then the Skripals in Salisbury while nearly poisoning the whole town. Putin bragged when Russian hooligans attacked England fans, killing one innocent man. Patriot??
Iranian twin sisters Taraneh and Romina Rahimi were beaten until their faces were badly swollen and bruised, suffered broken elbows, knuckles and feet, and had much of their hair ripped out as they were dragged between prison cells. Taraneh has now been sentenced to death by hanging, while Romina was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The sisters were 19-year-old high-school students when masked IRGC agents dragged them from their bedrooms with bags over their heads after they joined anti-regime protests in Isfahan. Their family was not told where they had been taken, and their mother spent four months searching courts and hospitals before finally seeing them in prison, where she could not recognize her own daughters.
Taraneh was threatened that guards would rape Romina in front of her unless she signed a confession. Her lawyers later told the court that her confession had been obtained through torture. No evidence that either sister participated in violence was presented.
Their family has not been allowed to see either sister since they were sentenced.
A Sudanese invader who was on police bail, is jailed for murdering a London grandfather in an unprovoked stabbing.
CCTV shows hostel staff handing Rasheed Abdul Rahman, now 21 a knife, which he used to murder Mark Carroll, 55, in St Martin's Gardens, Camden, on April 10, 2024.
Carroll was walking with a friend. Rahman, then 19, was a stranger. He signed a five-inch kitchen knife out of his supported hostel and drove it into Carroll's back.
Two months before the murder he stabbed somebody else in east London after following him off a bus.
In the days before he stabbed Carroll as he walked with a friend in a park, Rahman was arrested twice and released on police bail, inc for throwing a brick through a church window.

BETRAYAL.
Michaela has two grammar schools nearby - one for boys and one for girls.
At 11, top set kids don’t get in. The ones who might have had a chance, sit the exam and don’t pass it.
Then they attend Michaela: we are their consolation prize.
But 5 years later, they get, on average, more than 2 grades higher on their GCSEs thanks to what they and their teachers do: work hard, no excuses, traditional values and teaching, warm/strict discipline, drive, ambition, and above all, the ability to ignore the haters.
They get GCSE grades that compete with Eton that costs over 50k per year.
They (and other lower ability Michaela kids) then do their A levels, do so well to compete with Winchester and other big boarding schools that cost a bomb.
In a school building with no trees, no grass, no sports hall, no car park for the staff to park their cars! With the trains so loud next to us that the heads of year can barely be heard in the asphalt yard.
Then their headteacher posts a ‘Hooray’ online with a few videos of them getting their results.
Happy kids. How lovely. 🥰
But what do the haters do?
ATTACK!
Over and over.
How dare I be happy our kids have done well! Apparently saying ‘hooray’ is ‘crowing’ and ‘over the top’ and I should shut the hell up. How dare I say anything: I should hang my head in shame apparently.
Without irony, these same people post about Jason Arday and how the hate sent his way was unforgivable.
But your hate for me has no bounds.
I said ‘Hooray’.
ONE WORD. ONE F’ing WORD.
You people are the worst hypocrites imaginable.
Inner city kids do incredibly well and you dare to criticise this as some kind of abomination.
Do some inner soul searching.
God knows, you need it.
When our GCSE results come out on Thursday, I expect the hate to come again. That will be despite the comprehensive intake given to us by the council like any other school, kids starting below their chronological reading ages etc.
The hate is always the worst in August: because that is when results come out.
Nothing you all hate more than seeing inner city kids succeed. Videos with brown and black kids celebrating.
You just can’t stand it.
Depraved and disgusting.
That’s what you are.
Extracts from article in Spectator 16th August by Brendan O’Neill:
Behold the human wreckage of the cult of diversity. The tragedy of Jason Arday is that he was both built up and destroyed by the ruthless machinery of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). The academy made him into the golden boy of its philistine project of ‘decolonisation’ and gave not one thought to what the consequences might be if his thin story unravelled, as it inevitably would. No one can deny it now: wokeness makes false gods and real tragedies. . .
This is the poison chalice of the state religion of diversity. It lays traps for the very people it celebrates. It handpicks members of ‘the oppressed’ for moral anointment and institutional gushing while leaving them open to exposure as others start to query their credentials. That’s the toxic bargain of identity politics: it builds teetering pedestals for ethnic-minority thinkers, meaning their fall from grace is often twice as fatal.
And what a pedestal they made for Arday. They worshipped him as ‘the best in the world’. They beatified him as a black wunderkind whose very presence in a place like Cambridge might help to wash away its sins of whiteness. They canonised him as a living monument to ‘decolonisation’. It was precisely this, their giddy, narcissistic desire to manufacture a kind of black saviour, that made them turn a blind eye to the questionable elements of Arday’s CV and life story. They sacrificed their due diligence to the god of decolonisation.
And Arday suffered. He was both poster boy and sacrificial lamb of the diversity crusade. Even as he gained from it – reaching the dizzying heights of a Cambridge professorship – he was being damned by it. The foundation of myth and sand his starry career was built on was untenable. Its collapse was a given. It is a testament to the ideological blindness of the inhabitants of our ivory towers that none of them foresaw it. . . .
The Faustian ruthlessness of it all is mindblowing.
. . . The media is the only institution in this entire tragic scandal that did its job properly. Journalists found a story and they told it. It was the academy and Arday’s colleagues who failed to do their jobs. Who failed to prize merit over identity, and failed to foresee the public embarrassment that would befall their falsely promoted friend. They ignored the truth – the media found it.
I and others have been arguing for years that the politics of identity is a disaster for all, black and white alike. White kids are overlooked, black kids are patronised. Whites are branded ‘privileged’, blacks ‘oppressed’. Whites are seen as the beneficiaries of historic crimes who must atone for past sins, blacks as history’s perma-victims who require the gracious helping hand of the state. We are demonised or infantilised according to the accident of our race.
Enough. Let our monument to Jason Arday be the restoration of the true ideal of equality. We couldn’t save Jason but we can save merit from the monstrous jaws of identity.
Extracts from 11 Aug article in Spectator by Andrew Gilligan:
After the Jason Arday disaster, here is new evidence that things have gone deeply wrong at Cambridge University.
We can reveal that a former supporter of Hizb ut-Tahrir, now banned as a terror group, has been appointed assistant research professor of education at Cambridge, in the same faculty as Arday.
Ahmed is now responsible for postgraduate research in education at Britain’s top university, and for teaching undergraduate students, the future leaders of the profession, ‘how education shapes individuals and society.’
Farah Ahmed has explicitly attacked ‘western education’ as a ‘threat’ to Muslims, condemned democracy and integration, and criticised British schools for teaching pupils that child marriage is wrong.
During her time at Cambridge, she has written that the Islamic concept of education is sharply opposed to ‘gaining literacy and numeracy and other disciplinary skills demonstrated through qualifications’.
She attacks schools’ ‘attempts to integrate Muslim children’ as seeking to ‘produce new generations that reject Islam… if society is built on kufr [unbelief], it is our duty to tackle this challenge as a community in order to protect our young from its corruption.’
Worst of all, ‘religious tolerance is primarily pushed in religious education’, meaning that ‘Islam is taught as a religion like any other, putting its value on the same level as Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism and the like.’
Science is a problem too, because in the ‘teaching of evolution, Muslim children will be exposed to ideas that contradict Islam’. And in any subject, boys and girls may be asked to work together.
I'm not a racist. I'm a culturalist
I believe some cultures are superior to others
For example, I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating, paedophilia, clitorectomies, stoning and constant inflation of the male ego
I am also aware of the difference between Islamoscepticism and Islamophobia
Notice that hate does not come into this
Only moral preferences
NEW: For Women Scotland win again! Scottish government's policy of putting men in female prisons ruled unlawful.
