The capture of the legal profession by Islamic theological concepts is so disturbing, because it seemed the law of the land was the one protection our democracy had left.
Anybody involved in this CPS document needs to be removed from their job and never permitted to hold public office again.

This should be required reading for all those naive enthusiasts for an anti-blasphemy law just for Islam.
šØAbsolutely ShockingšØ Dr Ella Hill, not her real name but is a GP, gave evidence at the Prof Alexis Jay 2022 Inquiry via Prof Lisa Oakley. Beware it's shocking. It was read out by @PatrickChristys on GB News. "Iām a Rotherham Grooming Gang Survivor and I think itās important

amen to this. The insistence on āresearch that will transform the fieldā to win grants is just ridiculous.
Widespread acceptance of the absurd idea that producing 'cutting edge research' is the touchstone of academic success inevitably leads to anxiety, deception (including, importantly, self-deception), and the proliferation of medicore publications. Meanwhile, other important

ālacking nuanceā is perhaps an overly nuanced way of describing Zarah Sultana.
There's been a real lack of nuance in how this discussion has taken place. I don't think it was right for Zarah Sultana to say āThere is no room for socially conservative views in a socialist, leftwing party. Period.ā ā the fact is, if you're trying to build a mass membership

āPhilip says the Tories 'want no illegal immigration whatsoever'ā. This is news becauseā¦.why exactly? Why is saying āwe want no knife crimeā, ok, in fact itās obviously tautological, but saying āwe want no illegal immigationā is somehow shocking?

Iāve become obsessed with this Schubert song. It seems to live in some strange region in the stars, beyond happiness and sadness, and yet itās so profoundly human.

Not that he was full of praise for Britain. He said weāre āmorally bankruptā.

Long chat with Uber driver yesterday. He came to UK from Iran to escape āthose damned mullahsā and Islam and asks āwhy are there 900 mosques in Britain? Soon you will go the same wayā. You could say heās been duped by āthe far rightā. Or you could say he knows whereof he speaks.

Not a police officer in sight as a sectarian masked mob takes over our streets. Too busy reading tweets in their warm offices, looking for hurty words.
āThereās no need for that weāre on the same side bruv.ā āNo weāre not!ā A taste of whatās to come for the crank left useful idiots.

Quick @frasernelson ! We need one of your lovely soothing graphs to prove things are actually better than theyāve ever been before.
Shoplifting "well up" is actually: HIGHEST on record. Phone theft HIGHEST on record. 2/5ths of phone theft in Europe happen in London. Less than 1% of snatch thefts end in a *suspect identified* - not convicted, just identified. Transport police, just two weeks ago, have said

Starmer never more fake than when heās trying to be relatable.
Itās frustrating having to rummage around in a drawer, looking for an old electricity bill just to open a new bank account. Digital ID will make our lives easier.

The racist trope of the ānoble savageā is still alive and well, among Keffiyeh-wearing lefties.
These Native Australians have a culture that is in many ways superior to Western culture. Perhaps we too, after decolonization and the deconstruction of the capitalist system, can learn to take pleasure in the simple things in life, like dancing and music.

Breaking: The Swedish Foreign Ministry confirms Greta never reported any abuse to the Swedish diplomats who repeatedly visited her in Israeli custody. Israeli court transcripts likewise show she made no such claims before the judge. Instead, she refused to sign a deportation

Iām not an Anglican or any kind of believer, but I find this profoundly upsetting. It feels such an insult to the regular congregation.
The Church of England decided this week to cover the interior of the oldest cathedral in England in graffiti in order to represent the voices of āmarginalised communities.ā The Very Rev David Monteith, Dean of Canterbury, said: āThere is a rawness which is magnified by the

Thank god there are still a few dissenting voices like Ridley.
A short thread about the UK @metoffice. In the summer they responded to an article I wrote criticising their exaggeration of warm weather. Their response contained material inaccuracies about their own work. They claimed that I was wrong to say they based their wildly

The idea that our data is safe in the govt.ās hands is for the birds.
More on Starmer mandatory digital ID schemeāand its potentially disastrous consequences: In June, a curious announcement appeared on the CPS website and it should have provoked national outrage. A 25-year-old intern managed to effectively dupe our top intelligence, cyber, and

this is the second video expressing this view (āBritain deserves to be colonisedā) Iāve seen today. The desire for revenge isnāt just something that happens somewhere āabroadā. Itās right here, on our streets.
Brown man trying to tell us English what we can and can't drop in our homeland. Something our people need to understand is, these immigrants genuinely believe they're entitled to our land. It's not just one or two, it's all of them. They all think like that. This isn't

I always suspected BlueSky would turn out to be thoroughly nasty.
BlueSky's reputation for being more wholesome and less nasty than X will not survive this day.
