Agreed. The original rainbow was about same-sex attraction and rights based on sex. The progress flag has turned it into something else. As someone who is gay and left the gender ideology side, I want LGB rights protected without erasing biological sex. Biology is real. Love not hate.
Nidal Hasan’s case is one of those that leaves me with genuinely mixed feelings.
The crime itself was horrific. In 2009 he walked into a readiness centre at Fort Hood and opened fire on unarmed soldiers, killing 13 and wounding more than 30 while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” It was a premeditated terrorist attack on fellow service members. He was convicted years ago, the death sentence was upheld through the appeals process, and the Supreme Court declined to review it. Justice delayed this long is a failure of the system.
What bothers me most is how late this is. Nearly 17 years have passed. Victims’ families have waited through multiple administrations, endless legal process, and political hesitation. By the time an execution finally happens, a lot of the immediacy is gone. People have moved on, the news cycle has moved on, and the deterrent or retributive effect feels weaker than it would have been years ago. Justice that takes this long starts to look more like administrative inertia than decisive accountability.
On the public/livestreamed aspect, I’m conflicted. I understand why many people are uneasy. Turning an execution into something that can be watched by anyone risks making it a spectacle, desensitising viewers, or giving extremists propaganda material. There are also practical questions about dignity, the psychological impact on those who watch, and whether this is how a serious country should conduct its most solemn punishments. Those concerns aren’t trivial.
At the same time, the crimes were barbaric and calculated. Hasan targeted the people he had sworn to serve. In cases this extreme, after all appeals are exhausted, I can see the argument for a public element: not for entertainment, but to make the consequences unmistakable. When someone murders that many people in cold blood, a quiet, hidden process can feel like the system is still trying to minimise what happened. A controlled, transparent execution can serve as a clear message that certain acts carry the ultimate penalty and that the state will follow through.
So I don’t celebrate it, and I share some of the unease about making it fully public. But after nearly two decades of waiting, and given the nature of what he did, I understand why people want the punishment carried out and why some argue visibility matters. The bigger issue remains how long it took to get here. That delay is its own form of injustice.
This is why the far right concerns me. Kemi was born in Britain. Suggesting she should be deported because of her ancestry isn’t patriotism or conservatism — it’s the same authoritarian tribalism we reject from the far left. Centre-right means strong borders against illegal migration, biological reality, low taxes and equal treatment under the law for British citizens. Not collective punishment. Love not hate.
The far right concerns me. Tribal rage, conspiracy thinking, and the impulse to ban same-sex marriage or treat legal, integrated citizens as disposable aren’t conservatism, they’re just another form of authoritarianism. I don’t like it.
Centre-right is the grown-up alternative: low taxes, strong borders, biological reality, free speech, individual liberty, and the belief that aspiration works better than endless control from either extreme. Not fashionable. Just what actually works.
Love not hate.
Actually most feminists who prioritise women’s legal rights, safety from honour violence and bodily autonomy end up supporting Israel. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas have spent years delaying reforms that would protect women, treat so-called honour killings leniently, and limit international conventions like CEDAW to what fits Islamic law. Comparative outcomes matter more than slogans.
@NicholasLissack I just got threatened for supporting Israel.. I stand with Israel day and night even if I am getting threatened!! Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱🇮🇱
