Two men went on violent knife rampages in Edinburgh this year, injuring multiple people.
One is branded a terrorist and dominated headlines.
The other was deemed mentally ill and quietly buried.
Can you guess which is which?
@HumzaYousaf When’s the last time a group of Muslims got stabbed up in Scotland? Or England or Wales for that matter. I don’t think it’s even happened in Northern Ireland. You’re talking rubbish again.
@Keir_Starmer I’m thinking about Preston Davey and wondering where your statement about his ‘Dads’ is. Your awful DEI policies that have enabled that little baby to be pimped out by Social Services. You are a disgrace.
@mehdirhasan@RupertLowe10@elonmusk But the figures are true if not under stated. I grew up in a Muslim area and was told by the men from being ten years old that white girls are just for sex
@I_amMukhtar Congratulations if not a little premature as the ethnicity of the man has not been released however don’t let that spoil your joy that there’s a little boy seriously injured in hospital. Victory to you man 👏
now we know why Trump issued an executive order in his first term against human trafficking and why the made an example out of “Andrew”.
“There are British women who are currently trapped as sex slaves in Pakistan and elsewhere across the region.
We do not know how many, nor does the Government.
Hundreds, definitely. Thousands? Very likely.
It is impossible to describe how they must be living.” Rupert Lowe.
The Labour Party knew and knows . . .
Some people may not believe this is possible. It is. I worked in Saudi Arabia in the early 1980s. One Lebanese banker there told me about the "Escort Girl" scandal, where hundreds of high-class escorts from Britain were flown out to Saudi for "the weekend" but never came home again. The British government knew about this but did nothing. Once I started talking to other longer term expats about this they reluctantly agreed it was common knowledge but dangerous to talk about. Sex-slavery is permissible under Islamic jurisprudence, especially so when the sex-slaves are taken from a country in Islam's Dar al-Harb or House of War.
THE LONELINESS OF OWEN JONES
You want to know what keeps him awake? Not being called privileged. He's heard that for a decade. Not being called a hypocrite. He wears that armor.
What keeps Owen Jones awake is knowing his own side despises him.
September 2024. Labour banned him from Conference. Cancelled his pass. The reason they gave: "safeguarding issues." The real reason: he was harassing MPs by asking questions on camera. Especially female MPs. His own party called him a risk to women.
2019. After years denying antisemitism in Labour, he admitted it was real in his book. Only after Corbyn lost. Only when it was safe. Jewish supporters who trusted him watched him lie, then watched him flip when the wind changed.
March 2024. He quit Labour. Called it "hostile environment." Senior Labour figures called him "pathetic." A "strategic blunder." His own side thinks he's irrelevant.
The Corbynites. The left he claims to represent. They call him a "shill." Say he gave Corbyn "mealy-mouthed support" while doing "nothing to defend him from antisemitism smears." They don't want him either.
The kill shot:
Owen Jones has no allies. The right never wanted him. The centre finds him embarrassing. The left has rejected him. He is banned from the party he quit. He is mocked by the movement he claims to lead. He is a columnist writing for an audience that has outgrown him, about a working class that never knew him, from a position that no longer exists.
He is forty years old and completely alone. And every column he writes proves it.
Your move, Owen.
Today, 20th June, we remember Saint Alban, Britain's first Christian martyr.
At a time when Christians were hunted by the Roman authorities, Alban gave shelter to a Christian priest. Having witnessed the priest's faith and devotion, he embraced Christianity himself.
When soldiers arrived, Alban exchanged clothes with the priest and surrendered in his place. Refusing to renounce Christ, he was condemned and executed.
His name has been remembered in England ever since.
Saint Alban, pray for England. 🏴
