Just flying through the universe on the third rock from the sun. Against hypocrisy and extremism. Sceptical of flags and slogans.

Fear of ‘stirring up division’ led directly to the Rotherham rape gang scandal.

He knows he’s a goner so he is forcing through a lame but lasting policy that will only harm Britain’s youth in the name of ‘safety’.

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

I think that most mothers’ first instinct upon seeing a dying man on the floor would have been to call 999 and ask for an ambulance, actually.

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

Bloody hell. As @UnderSecPD reminds us, British MPs responded to the George Floyd protests by CALLING FOR AN ARMS EMBARGO on the US. The double standards are completely off the scale.

The left will soon have to pick a side:

Call out homophobic Muslims

or

Sell lesbians and gay men down the river

@ScipioAfr1canus @ItsTaz1989 In what sense are they secular when their outlook is so tied to Islam?

[Taz @ItsTaz1989]

Describing Islamists as conservatives is somewhat of a misnomer in the Western world. They have no interest in conserving Western traditions or civilisation. If anything, they’re Eastern theocratic revolutionaries.

This was the end of common sense and respect. The ridiculousness of this is beyond compare. Virtue signalling for a violent career criminal in the US. Starmer took the knee, the police knelt in front of often violent mobs, our historic statues ripped from the ground and tossed into rivers, our venerable ancient institutions showed cowardice and caved to woke liberals

A humiliation ritual from 2020.
At this point I lost respect for them

British police: “I don’t think so, mate.”

In two weeks we are all getting chucked off the internet.

[Maven Politic @MavenPolitic]

Police actions aside - why is it that we had to wait for a doctor in Poland to see the autopsy report and evidence for someone to say that the handcuffing might have killed Henry Nowak?

Where are all the British medical experts on this high-profile case?

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

Ethiopia was never colonized.

For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.

If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.

Can we please retire this excuse?

[Mark Mantis @TheGhostSleepi1]

This is one issue that is causing the problems with police officers. Anyone who is good or has normal views on stuff gets kicked out in favour of mad zealots or mindless drones who will blindly adhere to the whims of the mad zealots.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

A thoughtful take by Tony Sewell. Most people just want fairness. The job of the police is to catch criminals and prevent crime not to address historic social harms

One of the things I think that's getting lost in the current "two tier" discussions is the growing perception that the police are more interested in culture than crime...

So five armed officers go to arrest a comedian getting off a plane (one of the few places you can be confident your "suspect" won't be armed)

Heavy handed responses to what people write on X rather than dealing with violent shoplifting

People getting shorter sentences for the worst crimes against children than for "hate" speech

Allowing pro Palestinian marches to go through Jewish communities but restricting Reform marches

Then we have politicians agitating about the "far right" when for the most part it's people saying r@pe gangs should be properly investigated and illegal immigrants shouldn't get a better standard of living with luxury hotels and same day dental care than British citizens do

Until @UKLabour recognises the real anger is because people increasingly feel the criminal justice system and so many aspects of the way the state interacts with them has become essentially unfair the anger will grow

It doesn't need stoking. People aren't angry because @Nigel_Farage told them to be. They are angry because the state isn't working and when they complain, the government essentially calls them Nazis
