While serious historians discuss whether Harold moved his Army by sea, @BBCNews think the Battle of Hastings happened in ... London. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We have a new standard.

❗️Essex police shut down their live facial recognition cameras because they were catching too many black people At the same time, they admitted the cameras rarely picked up anyone who wasn't already on the watchlist. The system was accurate. They just didn't like the results.

A child has been sentenced to execution by hanging in Occupied Iran. Diana Taherabadi is only 16. The Islamic Regime dragged her out bed, confiscated her family's phones, and kidnapped her. It takes a second for you to speak up. DO IT.

Islamic scholar in the UK says: "We will transform the UK into an Islamic state and impose humiliating laws on Christians and other non-Muslims to make them want to convert to Islam." Terrifying.

On May 29, 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II after a brutal siege. Within hours of the conquest, he ordered the Hagia Sophia church to be converted into a mosque. The first Friday Islamic prayer was held there shortly after—signaling that the Christian imperial center had been absorbed into the Islamic Ottoman Caliphate. In 1934, Kemal Atatürk secularized the building and turned it into a museum—an attempt to neutralize its charged religious symbolism and present it as a shared human heritage. In 2020, Recep Erdoğan reconverted it into a mosque—a decisive symbolic reversal of Atatürk's secularism. Long story short: From the early Caliphates to the Ottoman Empire, from Khomeini's revolution to the Islamic State, from the Muslim Brotherhood to Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Republic occupying Iran—we are witnessing a transnational revival of the same theocratic, supremacist ideology. This repetition is not accidental. Islamism returns not because it is hijacked or distorted but because it cannot be otherwise. An ideology that cannot change cannot die. It simply waits, regroups, and returns, with the intervals between each resurgence growing dangerously shorter.

This is a compelling interview with SDP leader @WilliamClouston on the 'Heretics' podcast with @AndrewGold_ok. I would urge everyone to watch it. William is one of the most interesting and thoughtful political activists/commentators in Britain today. youtube.com/watch?v=dtHv2a…

Saint George was a Greek soldier in the Roman army, originating from Cappadocia, and served as an officer under Emperor Diocletian. His mother, named Polychronia (a Greek name meaning "long time"), was a Christian from the well-known city of Lydda (also called Diospolis, meaning "the city of Zeus") in the province of Syria Palaestina. Palestine was a province, not a nation, you just compared the nation of England with a province for the origin of someone just because you have a foreign agenda probably against the native British people. So, let me educate you: Saint George was born between 275–285 AD. At that time the population included in the city where he was born were people of Aramean, Phoenician, Greek, Jewish and Samaritan descent. Polychronia, George’s mother, came from a prominent noble Greek family in what was then Greek Cappadocia. She spoke Greek, had a Greek name, and her family was Greek. Due to her martyrdom, where she was tortured to death, Polychronia is celebrated in the Greek Orthodox Church on April 23. Saint George’s father was also Greek, hailing from Cappadocia. His name was Gerontius, a Greek name, and he was a senator and military commander who was initially a pagan but later converted to Christianity. Both parents, therefore, were of Greek descent, spoke Greek, and had Greek names. Polychronia secretly baptized their young child in a monastery in Armenia and named him George, a name that is, of course, also Greek. Thus, George had Greek parents, a Greek name, and naturally spoke Greek. So, what connection does he have with England? His biography was first written by Pope Gelasius I in the Acta Sancti Georgii (496), followed by Saint Andrew of Crete in Greece. The Syriac Church held him in high esteem since the 4th century. Due to his chivalrous character, Saint George became popular in Europe by the 10th century, and by the 15th century, his feast day was as significant and popular as Christmas. At the Council of Oxford in 1222, Saint George’s Day was declared an official holiday, and in the 14th century, he became the patron saint of England. He is also the patron saint of Moscow, Aragon, Georgia, and Catalonia, and until the 18th century, of Portugal. As the patron saint of England and a mounted warrior, Saint George was considered, according to legend, the patron saint of the Knights of the Round Table. Educate yourself because you look stupid. Hope I helped.

Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh, was a 16 year old girl from Neka in Iran's Mazandaran Province. A lovely happy girl enjoying her life. One day while travelling in a taxi she was arrested by the morality police for not wearing a hijab. She endured days of torture and rape at the hands of Captains Zabihi and Molai, who later confessed to misconduct amid family complaints and global outrage. Brought before Judge Haji Reza, stumbling and bleeding from repeated assaults, she begged Judge Reza for justice and punishment of her tormentors. Instead he passed a sentence for her to be executed for the crime of Adultery and Chastity.(The poor girl was raped and tortured in captivity) In defiance of her death sentence, she tore off her hijab and threw it at his feet. On August 15, 2004, she was publicly hanged from a crane in Neka's town square. (The judge himself later admitted to raping and torturing her during interrogations. - @israelititan

At Malahide Castle today, the tour guide compared one of the rooms to Bridgerton and gushed about season 4. I was shocked to hear an elderly white historian praise what I see as a racist, anti-historical show. My black traveling companion agreed with him and asked if I watched it. I told him straight: black people should feel insulted by Bridgerton, not represented. Because the producers are essentially saying, “your real history is too depressing or unmarketable, so here’s a fantasy version of someone else’s elegant British past instead.” They avoid American slavery stories because they’re grim and unprofitable. They skip authentic African histories because it would mean portraying blacks as “savages” and losing viewers. So they insert black characters into a Regency England where racial integration happens magically—no slavery, no colonialism, no systemic barriers—just a black queen, black duke, black elite thriving without explanation. Producer Shonda Rhimes calls it an “inclusive world,” but it’s really the worst kind of FANTASY because it pretends no actual black history ever happened. FACT: The industry won’t touch real black stories because they know white audiences won’t watch—and not enough black viewers will either. Praising this garbage as “representation” does ALL people a disservice. But the scariest thing of all: Even knowledgeable UK scholars are lapping it up - instead of decrying it for destroying history. Do better, guys.

@EdwardJDavey Don't be silly: we used to burn people for using the wrong creed. In the good old days.

Imagine seeing British people at prayer and thinking “this is a great chance to stoke fear, hatred and division”. People who do that should have no place in British politics. Freedom to worship is a fundamental British value – one the Conservative Party used to believe in.

The Pakistani Rape Gangs were documented in Birmingham in 1991. A council steering group ordered the removal of the ethnic dimension and copies of the report were then destroyed. It was not until twenty years later that Rotherham become a national scandal. Just how many little White girls would have been saved if the same pattern documented in Birmingham had not been covered up?

On January 12th 2024, UNESCO condemned Israel for killing a "journalist" in Gaza named Muhammad Abu Haweidi. It was also reported by WaPo and @pressfreedom. Today, Palestinian Islamic Jihad announced that he was one of their commanders. Odds on a retraction or apology? Zero.

Decolonize Constantinople.

Hope not Hate claim to be “working tirelessly to expose and oppose far-right extremism”. But yesterday, their former Political Organiser Liron Velleman escaped jail time after ADMITTING child sex offences. My full investigation into Hope not Hate, published here tomorrow.

This excellent discussion had the power to shock even me — and I have been lamenting the disarmament of Britain for years. ⁦⁦@shashj⁩ on good form. Money quote: “the British Army could just about take control of a market town on a good day.” bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

🇬🇧 Hope not Hate pedophile Liron Velleman escapes jail with a suspended sentence. The elected councillor sent a nude video of himself to someone he thought was a 13-year-old schoolgirl and requested she send images of herself. Judge James Lofthouse called the former Jewish Labour Movement and Hope not Hate strategist "vile and frankly devious" but gave Velleman the minimum possible eight-month prison sentence suspended for 15 months.

The UK version. Neither of these women know what a woman is until she has to cover her hair.

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.
