@Bobmcphail1872 Like Cerny in the cup final last season, it's the panic of VAR to come to an immediate outcome and then spend the next minute or more convincing themselves their initial impression is correct, despite looking at evidence to the contrary. His sock is studded down from mid-shin!

There's actually no coming back from this (and they could make a 2hr feature film of all these types of mistakes). Collum needs to go and Clancy is simply a cheat.

Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education
The stunned, terrified expression you make when you finally realise Churchill was absolutely right. ⚫️Albanese has repeatedly grovelled and tried to appease radical Islam, desperately chasing their bloc votes. ⚫️He’s funnelled tens of millions of hardworking taxpayers' dollars into mosques and Islamic schools—effectively subsidising separatist ideologies. ⚫️He opened the floodgates, allowing thousands of unvetted migrants straight from war-torn Gaza to pour into Australia with zero proper screening. ⚫️He’s worked behind the scenes—in secret—to facilitate the return of ISIS brides and their offspring, bringing battle-hardened jihadist sympathisers back to our shores. ⚫️He cheered on senior Labor figures shamelessly marching arm-in-arm with supporters of the fanatical Khomeini regime and Iran's extremist theocracy. ⚫️He’s shovelled millions more in taxpayer "foreign aid" straight to Hamas-controlled groups—effectively bankrolling terrorists. ⚫️In the midst of the Israel-Gaza war, he cynically rewarded Hamas's barbaric atrocities by recognising "Palestine"—a blatant signal of weakness and surrender. ⚫️He stonewalled and resisted calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi jihadist massacre, refusing to confront the rising tide of Islamic extremism while smearing "the far right" as the real villains dividing Australia. ⚫️He’s ignored urgent US requests to help secure the Straits of Hormuz and even ordered Australian navy personnel serving alongside Americans to cower in their bunks—all to avoid offending supporters of Iran's murderous regime. And after all that grovelling, all that betrayal of Australian values, all that craven appeasement—they still turned on him. They still wanted to lynch him. His face said it all: the classic, wide-eyed panic of an appeaser who fed the crocodile... only to discover it's now lunging for him.

@FUDdaily Excellent, though bleak, article. The central issue to me is that we have unserious politicians, more interested in soundbites and the PR of policy than it's effectiveness, "supported" by an activist civil service who have given up any pretence of actually serving the people.

It must be understood that the slide towards third-worldism is precisely because we have so many laws but so little enforcement. Enforcement cannot be done on the cheap, and it cannot be done without a functioning court system. If you want to live in a first world country then these are the corners you don’t cut.

@jfoster2019 @iIDasHuman @danny__kruger @AllisonPearson His critics seem to contend that "British values" start and end with unconditional (religious) tolerance. Tolerating the intolerant isn't laudable; it's ignorance at best, cowardice & appeasement at worst. Some religious beliefs & practices are much more abhorrent than others.

Have you noticed .. The people criticising his comments.. which I agree with, by the way are predominantly men !! and are deliberately obfuscating.. Other ‘celebrations’ are generally fun with people mixing in and enjoying their time together… This demonstration of male dominance and segregation sums up the concerns we have .. The women won’t comment for obvious reasons.. We now have cultures living side by side in this country.. There is no integration .. by so many who do not want their families to integrate with us .. Many imams in mosques across this country 🇬🇧 spew hatred and bile about Christianity and other religions.. nothing is done !! along with using abusive practices on their own women and girls .. How can I have a conversation with a woman forced to wear a niqab or burka .. 🤷‍♀️ The extremism which has escalated from the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood makes it impossible for real cohesion to occur .. So those criticising @NJ_Timothy need to get off their high horse and open their eyes to what’s really happening.. Staying silent has got us .. to where we are now and it’s untenable..

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

@raxxan7 @KnownHeretic "They aren't truly single-sex spaces" Yes they f*n are! The whole concept of segregated bathrooms (etc) was and is based on separating the sexes for safety and privacy/dignity. Paedophile sexologists hijacking vocabulary doesn't change that.

The issue comes with the vocabulary used. Most bathrooms are labeled men/women. They aren’t truly single sex spaces. They are single gender spaces. This obviously isn’t the case all over the world but it more common. If you want to keep trans women out of the women’s restrooms then you have to raname every single bathroom labels with gender instead of sex. Society has changed and the rise of people not researching topics is what changed. Women have never been safe. Excluding trans women from the restroom does not keep women and girls safe. It’s not about safety for women and girls, it’s about the exclusion and discrimination of trans women.

Women had to fight to get single sex bathrooms. We’ve had them for about 100 years and they’ve been working great. What has changed? In all the years I’ve been fighting this issue, no one on the trans side has ever honestly addressed the very real safeguarding issues self id presents for women and girls. This glaring refusal to grapple with my central points exposes both a complete sexist disregard for women as well as blind cult capture.

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury. He was given less than two years behind bars. It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.

@salltweets @JMLoe1 Paraphilias cluster. Plus, insane modern policies incentivise (intact) male paedos to claim a trans identity, as it muddies safeguarding, gives plausible deniability to predatory behaviours, & is - bizarrely - an effective mitigation in sentencing. Self ID is paedo-enabling.

It used to be that there was an example a month, then every week, then a few times a week, then every few days, and now it’s either daily or even multiple examples a day. Either a tiny demographic is incredibly dangerous or the most dangerous men in society are using transgenderism as a loophole for access and/or reprieve. Both is also a possibility. That no activist of transgenderism has tried to create stricter criteria to weed out the worst of society is a telling sign.

You do not honor other cultures by weakening your own. You honor them by standing firmly in what is yours. Shakespeare is not a symbol of domination. He is one of the clearest expressions of what human language can reach at its highest level. His work survived because generation after generation, across cultures, found truth in it. What they are calling decolonising is diluting something rooted, tested, and refined over centuries. This is what happens when a civilization loses confidence in its own inheritance. The idea that Shakespeare being universal is harmful reveals something deeper. It suggests that greatness itself has become suspect. That if something endures across time and place, it must be explained away, not studied. That instinct erases standards. Tradition is not exclusion. It is memory. It is the record of what a civilization discovered was worth preserving. Once you start apologizing for that, you create a vacuum where nothing holds. A culture that cannot defend Shakespeare will not be able to defend anything else that made it.

Every non-Muslim and non-Arab community in the Middle East must have its own state, or it will vanish. This is Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born. Its population was once 100 percent Christian and remained around 90 percent until 1950. Since the Palestinian Authority took control in 1993, the Christian share has fallen to just 16 percent and continues to decline. Christians cite these reasons for leaving Jesus’ birthplace: violence and coercion to convert to Islam, religious and legal discrimination, desecration of holy sites, and social exclusion. A Palestinian state, if established, would mark the end for Christians, Jews, Druze, and all other non-Muslim and non-Arab communities.

A bogus argument in Western media is that Hezbollah started in 1982 as a reaction to that year's Israeli invasion of Lebanon. That's not true. Hezbollah emerged as the Islamic Revolution's extension in Lebanon, aiming to create an Islamic republic there. The slogan we chanted as kids was "No Eastern Beirut, no Western Beirut, an Islamic republic." Also, Hezbollah's first dozen attacks (save for one) all targeted Iraqi or American interests across Lebanon (Iraqi Embassy, US Embassy, Marine barracks) and in the region (US Embassy in Kuwait and the Kuwaiti Emir). Attacking Iran's enemies in Kuwait is hardly a reaction to anything Israeli. Save for one or two attacks, Hezbollah launched its organized campaign against Israel in Lebanon in 1989, mainly because the Iraq-Iran War had ended a year earlier. With the Lebanese civil war concluding in 1991, Hezbollah needed its war with Israel to justify its continued armament as a militia. Anyone expect all the American experts on NYT and NPR to know this? Or at least make some effort to research it? If they did, the blame wouldn't fall on the "White Man, colonialist, Israel." US media has abandoned its investigative role and adopted an indoctrinating one.

According to Judaism, Jesus is not the promised Moshiach. According to Christianity, Judaism misunderstood God’s law and misidentified the nature of the Messiah. So what? According to the Roman Catholic Church, all Protestants were once heretics, lost outside the true Church, until Vatican II began softening the language. To this day, many Southern Baptists consider Pentecostal practices dangerously unbiblical, even bordering on paganism. Some Messianic Jews reject the Trinity. Some Jews reject the Talmud altogether. Calvinists believe Arminians preach a false gospel. Orthodox Jews see Reconstructionist Jews as heretics. Just because someone shares your label, Jew or Christian, doesn’t mean they’re closer to you than someone who doesn’t. Sometimes, the deeper divide exists within the label, not across it. What truly matters, especially in the public square, is this: Do we believe that God is good, and that His goodness must be pursued and manifested in the world? Both Jews and Christians answer that with a resounding yes. I’m not talking about soteriology here. What I’m talking about is what shapes the world we live in, the laws we make, the culture we build, the values we defend. And on that level, Judaism and Christianity stand shoulder to shoulder. We believe in human dignity because man is made in the image of God. We believe in truth because God is not a liar. We believe in justice because God is just. We believe in mercy because God is merciful. These shared convictions have built civilizations, shaped legal systems, inspired art and science, and sustained human rights movements across centuries. This is why we’re fighting Islamic expansion, not because we hate Muslims, but because Islam introduces an entirely different moral structure built on a different view of God. Islam does not see God as a loving Father, but as an unapproachable master. It does not see humans as bearers of divine image, but as subjects of law whose worth depends on religious affiliation. It does not honor freedom of conscience, or the concept of grace, or the sanctity of individual thought. It brings with it a system of conquest, not covenant. Fear, not relationship. Power, not redemption. I don’t care if someone calls themselves a Christian if their God does not resemble the God of Scripture. And I don’t automatically see a Jew as “other” because he doesn’t accept Jesus as the jewish Moshiach. I care whether we are worshiping the God whose character is good, whose justice is righteous, and whose mercy lifts the broken. Because that God builds civilizations. And the god of Islam dismantles them.

@bnbchen What a bizarre take! 🤣 Going "all in", together with a breakdown in military command structure, are signs of desperation and chaos. Nothing more. e.g. Hitler "unleashed" the Hitler Youth and relinquished personal command when things turned south for the Nazis.

🚨 IRAN JUST REMOVED EVERY CHAIN ON ITS MILITARY. FULL AUTHORITY. NO PERMISSION NEEDED. NO LIMITS. 🚨 The Iranian armed forces have been granted COMPLETE decision-making power to respond to ANY threat — using methods "never before seen" that "exceed the enemy's capabilities." Do you understand what that means? 💀 No more waiting for political approval — the generals decide NOW 💀 "Never-before-seen methods" — weapons and tactics they've been hiding for DECADES 💀 Full authority to confront ANY attempt to occupy Iranian territory — this includes the Strait of Hormuz ⚠️ The last time a country gave its military "full authority" with no political oversight was Russia in February 2022. Two days later — a full-scale invasion. ⚠️ Iran has 90 MILLION people, mandatory military service, and a terrain that hasn't been successfully conquered in 2,500 years. You just gave THAT military a blank check. They're showing you Iran as a weakened nation begging for peace. They're NOT showing you that Iran just told its generals: do WHATEVER you have to do. Use WHATEVER you have to use. Here's what nobody is asking: If Iran was losing, why would they EXPAND military authority? You don't unleash your entire arsenal when you're surrendering. You do it when you're about to go ALL IN. Trump said Iran surrendered → Iran responded by giving its military UNLIMITED power to strike back → You don't give a "surrendered" nation's army full authority → So either Trump LIED or he doesn't know what's coming. Iran isn't warning anymore. Iran isn't threatening anymore. Iran just took the safety off. The most dangerous moment of this ENTIRE war isn't behind us. It's RIGHT NOW. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 They don't want you seeing this. Follow + RT to beat the algorithm. 🚨
