South Wales Police tried to bring in a blasphemy law by the back door, using the Government’s Islamophobia definition as cover.
The Home Office are now refusing to instruct all police forces NOT to use the definition to curb free speech.
This definition is dangerous. If nobody takes accountability for it, this will end badly.
@asha_shar Dismantling (any part of) id Software is the most idiotic move in history. If you only care about money then this is the opposite of what you should be doing.
Insanity moves in gaming right now.
A man asks other men to tell him about the times they entered a women’s bathroom or changing room and were invited to fiddle with a woman’s bra before being showered with compliments.
@GRoditiD Few replies about CGI, many locations & world building. We had shows that did all this.
Star Trek (up to ENT), Smallville, Stargate, X-Files, NCIS etc. Even things like Lost/Heroes came along and were expansive too.
The knowledge for quality yearly shows 20+ eps has been lost.
I've written on why the Conversion Practices Bill is a dangerous Trojan Horse that smuggles in criminal levers to be weaponised against people - including parents - who don't believe in gender ideology 👇

🚨Jennifer Melle has been completely vindicated as the NMC has now dropped all charges against her.
This is the right outcome, but how did it get to this point?
Why did it take 18 months for the NMC to realise she did NOTHING wrong?
Why did the NHS pursue an ideologically motivated witch-hunt against a hardworking nurse?
How many other nurses will suffer a similar fate for stating biological reality?
Why did it take a cross-party group of MPs, led by Kemi and myself, to challenge the NHS and NMC to save Jennifer’s livelihood?
Will anyone be held accountable for their failure?
We will not stop fighting for them and the countless other nurses being hounded for defending their rights.
This consultation from the Department for Culture, Media & Sport is incredibly manipulative.
The option to say “No, I don't agree with the proposal” simply isn't there.
Instead, you're only asked how government backed news should be promoted, not whether it should be promoted at all.
What's the point of a consultation if the most obvious answer isn't even an option?
A rigged survey isn't consultation. It's manufacturing consent.
Possibly, as Minister for Health, James Murray could compel the adult gender clinics to hand over the data they refused to give to Cass. We might then find out just how much benefit these interventions confer long term, without needing to perform experiments on children too young to give meaningful consent.
Read the testimony of the ever-expanding numbers of detransitioners. Grasp that these young people, many of them extremely vulnerable - autistic, care-experienced, abuse survivors, same-sex attracted in unsupportive families - have been irreparably harmed, left with their fertility destroyed, unending medical complications and profound psychological damage.
This is a medical scandal of epic proportions and people of power and influence are still too frightened of trans activists and trans lobby groups to do the right thing and put an end to the insanity. Kids are being sacrificed to ideology and cowardice.
This is indeed the issue with the Gov. trying to control news, media and social media.
Institutions are being pushed towards ideology (anti-reality nonsense), and the only way to share examples/overreach are speech platforms with freedom.
MSM dutifully ignore them until pushed.
None of the Government’s ‘trusted’ news sources have reported this story.
If Lisa Nandy proceeds with her dystopian plan to rig the media landscape in their favour we will lose a vital safety valve.
Prosecutors have been told they must ‘consider unconscious bias’ before charging ethnic minorities.
This risks yet more two-tier justice.
So I have called on the CPS to drop this nonsense.
Justice must be blind.
This is deeply concerning.
Photographer Alastair Hilton was enjoying a pint with a friend when two Metropolitan Police officers tracked him down and warned him about his posts on social media.
Mr Hilton was asked to step outside the pub, where the officers read out the section of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 under which they threatened to arrest him should he cross the line.
This was all because Mr Hilton had shared a post protesting the actions of a local Green councillor, who had successfully campaigned to remove the outdoor seating from three pubs on the Thames riverside near his home.
While we do not approve of intimidating public office holders at their homes, gathering at a pub in the vicinity of a councillor’s house and standing up for your right to sit outside and enjoy a beer is not a crime.
We can already see how this legislation — with this provision having come into force only on 29th June — can be manipulated to silence dissent.
The Met Police again appear more interested in dealing with free speech disputes online rather than tackling real crime.
@London_W4, the FSU will write to you today.
In this case, I hope she deletes her account so another person can have the lisanandy username. Sitting on the username whilst claiming to leave the platform would be quite unfair.
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
The Environment Agency can't find the time to deal with criminals who dump waste into our rivers - but they're perfectly happy to investigate volunteers who clean those rivers.
It's the same story, over and over.
Rule-breakers go free. People who do the right thing get crushed.
This grievance-mongering nonsense has to stop.
Telling prosecutors to "consider unconscious bias" when charging people with crimes will mean that different groups get treated differently. It's yet more two-tier justice.
Whatever happened to equality before the law?
According to new reports, Xbox may be moving away from physical media with a console currently known as Project Helix.
