@EdwardJDavey, you have misread the argument so comprehensively that one has to wonder whether it is deliberate. Nobody is objecting to freedom of worship. Nick Timothy did not say Muslims should not be allowed to pray. He said mass ritual prayer in a shared national civic space is an act of domination, and cited the former extremist turned scholar Ed Husain, who has spent his career documenting exactly this phenomenon. The Adhan, the call to prayer, declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. That is by definition a theological repudiation of every other faith. When projected into Trafalgar Square, a national memorial to British sovereignty and independence, it is not equivalent to a celebration. It is a declaration. The distinction is theological, not political, and it is precise. You invoke freedom of worship as though Timothy had called for mosques to be closed. He did not. You invoke British values as though observing that the domination of public spaces is straight from the Islamist playbook is somehow un-British. It is not. It is documented, sourced and supported by scholars who have spent decades inside Islamist movements. This week, thousands of people gathered on the Embankment chanting death to America and death to Israel. Bobby Vylan led chants of death death death to the IDF, cleared by the CPS last year and back on a London stage doing it again. The Islamic Human Rights Commission, named in a Lords report as part of Iran's soft power network in Britain, addressed the crowd. Thirty six Labour MPs wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding the investigation of a man for pointing out what every serious student of Islamism already knows. The Attorney General deployed his Jewish identity to defend a declaration that, by its own theological logic, repudiates Judaism. And your contribution to all of it is a tweet accusing people who raise these questions of stoking fear, hatred and division. You lead a party that voted consistently to keep Britain in the European Union against the democratic will of the British people. A party that has positioned itself as the political home of progressive appeasement, that has never met an Islamist grievance it would not accommodate, and whose response to every act of cultural intimidation is to accuse those who name it of bigotry. The Liberal Democrats have no record of defending British values under pressure. They have a record of redefining British values to mean whatever is least likely to cause offence to the most vocal pressure group in the room. Freedom of worship is indeed a fundamental British value. So is freedom of speech. So is the freedom to observe, without being accused of racism, that a theological declaration of exclusive truth projected into a national monument is not the same as lighting a menorah or performing a Passion play. Nick Timothy exercised that freedom. The full weight of the parliamentary and political establishment descended on him within twenty four hours. That is the state of British politics today, Ed. And you are part of the problem, not the solution. "Nick Timothy didn't say Muslims shouldn't be allowed to pray. He said mass ritual prayer in a shared national civic space is an act of domination, and cited the former extremist turned scholar Ed Husain, who has spent his career documenting exactly this phenomenon."

@Zitel_304 @BBCBreaking Shame the bbc didn’t see it like that and got rid of her because she wouldn’t compromise on the immutability of the sexes

@BBCBreaking Hosting a flagship national broadcast for 33 years and building the exact blueprint for fearless cultural commentary is a generational level of media dominance. The industry lost an absolute titan today. 😪

Dame Jenni Murray, who presented the BBC's Woman's Hour for more than 30 years, has died bbc.in/4bkxpjW

@benonwine @liv_chic 100%yes

That truck isn’t “just a vehicle” It’s someone’s livelihood. Their mortgage. Their family’s food on the table. Destroy it and you should pay for every loss it causes. Who AGREES these so called Protesters should be Prosecuted as Terrorists, Yes or No?

Yep, that’s now Dwayne @therock Bunsons chair 🤣

GWENT POLICE ARE BREAKING THE LAW A police force is openly admitting, 11 months after the Supreme Court judgment that they are continuing to allow men into women’s changing rooms and toilets. They are STILL telling their staff that this is an 'entitlement'. They are wrong. We’d like to know what the Chief Constable and PCC of @gwentpolice will do about this flagrant breach of the Workplace Regulations 1992. 1/

@WomensRightsNet @gwentpolice @WRNWales Love the way they even refer their male staff to the men’s health forum in that list. Women don’t get a single mention. Quelle surprise! I don’t know how the have the nerve to call themselves upholders of the law but think it’s ok to pick and choose which they have to follow

The Chief Constable and the PCC of @gwentpolice must meet with @WRNWales without delay. We require that they urgently review and amend their unlawful policy. They can issue a fulsome apology to female officers and staff while they are at it. Over to you Chief Constable Hobrough and PCC Mudd @JaneMuddPCC. 5/5 @PoliceSEENUK

💥We’ve been granted permission to take a judicial review on Hampstead Ponds! We were initially turned down for judicial review after the City Corporation tried to get away without having to defend the lawfulness of its policy. Now the Court of Appeal has overturned that judgment, recognising that “expert charities” such as Sex Matters have standing to bring claims for judicial review and called the City of London’s arguments in defence of its “trans inclusive” policy “brief and unpersuasive”. We have increased our target to enable the next stage in this case. Thank you to everyone who donated to get us this far. Donate now: sex-matters.org/take-action/cr…

@SamuelWeeps @Suffragent_ Because it’s ‘racist’ to question the words and motives of these people.

@Suffragent_ How on earth can these thieves so easily outsmart our well paid teams of social security staff and our benefits systems?

This is Shukri Yusuf - a migrant from Somalia. She fraudulently claimed £102,000 in benefits, which she spent on private school fees and a luxury car. She walked free from court with a suspended sentence. Meanwhile, white people are jailed for tweets. 🇬🇧 #twotierjustice

In the past 7 days there has been 12 reported cases of Rapes on girls in this country by Migrant Men! 12 young lives ruined. Every Pink Lady out there.. we NEED YOU !!! Friday 24th April - Please come and support our children! 🙏🏻

It’s on. Tomorrow 1pm. In front of the Guardian offices. Bring your cinnamon swirls.

@lelemSLP @orlipeter Weird, she never gave this evidence to the UN report, as per their report. More Israeli lies.

"Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak" Dr. Orli Peter @orlipeter, psychologist who is helping Nova survivors, in an open letter to Mamdani's wife: "Dear Ms. Rama Duwaji, You publicly liked social media posts describing the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas as “collective liberation.” You also placed a heart next to an Instagram post claiming that the reports of mass rapes on Oct. 7 were a “hoax.” For the past two and a half years, I have been treating survivors of October 7, helping them slowly rebuild shattered lives and broken nervous systems. Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak. Some of the people sitting across from me in therapy had witnessed rapes and executions so brutal that their nervous systems simply shut down. Words stopped working. These people did not simply survive war. They survived mass and socially sanctioned sadism. Subsequent investigations by journalists, forensic teams and international bodies documented widespread sexual violence that day. Families were burned alive. Festival goers hunted down, raped and then executed. Hamas terrorists documented much of the violence themselves: one attacker used a victim’s phone to call his parents and brag that he had killed 10 Jews with his own hands; and you surely saw the footage of Shani Louk, whose body Hamas fighters paraded through Gaza in the back of a truck while crowds spat and celebrated. Survivors of the Nova festival have also described militants laughing as they hunted festivalgoers hiding in the fields. These were not acts carried out in secrecy. They were recorded, boasted about and, in some cases, carried out with visible pleasure. These were not only acts of murder. They were staged performances of cruelty. This was not violence used as a means to an end. It was violence relished for its own sake. That is the socially sanctioned mass sadism my patients are still haunted by, superimposed on everything they see. Once that sadism becomes undeniable, the narrative has a problem. Mass murder can still be reframed as resistance. Rape cannot. It exposes the cruelty too clearly, so it has to be denied. That denial carries consequences not only for the survivors I treat but for Palestinians as well. Refusing to confront the mass sadism of Oct. 7 keeps Palestinians trapped under the same violent movement that terrorizes them. Hamas has long brutalized its own population. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented torture, arbitrary detention, and killings of Palestinians accused of dissent or collaboration, and journalists have reported Hamas beating and arresting Gazans who protest its rule. This is what authoritarian movements do. Cruelty outward. Repression inward. As New York City’s first lady, you are in a public position to inspire a movement for Palestinian rights and safety. The survivors I treat are still trying to rebuild their lives after what they witnessed. Palestinians deserve to be free from the same sadistic movement that terrorizes them as well. Public gestures matter. When someone in a position of influence treats atrocity as liberation, the signal travels far beyond a social media post. The evidence is clear. Admit that you were wrong and withdraw your support for the lie. Some of us spend our days helping survivors rebuild the lives that Hamas shattered. The least the rest of the world can do is stop sanitizing mass sadism and tell the truth about what was done to the victims of Hamas’ cruelty. ".

@EDub56 @lelemSLP @orlipeter There is no genocide. Had Israel wanted genocide Gaza would have vanished off of the face of the earth over 2 years ago

@lelemSLP @orlipeter @orlipeter did you ever have the urge to help Palestinian survivors of Israeli genocide - there are far more and they’ve suffered far more than novas? Seeing the destruction in Israel, did you start to feel any sympathy for the horrors rained down on Gazans? Didn’t think so…

@squirrelpsps @Soccer_Tactics1 @lelemSLP @orlipeter If all lives matter why do the Israeli ones matter less to you??

@Soccer_Tactics1 @lelemSLP @orlipeter Do all lives not matter?

The Left's Nazi Lineage in the Art of Silencing Dissent You self-anointed guardians of “progress,” draped in the pastel plumage of moral superiority, are nothing less than the lineal descendants of the SA thugs who prowled the beer halls and back alleys of the Weimar Republic. You do not defend discourse; you execute it. Where once they shattered windows and cracked skulls to silence dissent, you now wield the scalpel of digital terror...doxxing, swatting, and, when those prove insufficient, the quiet celebration of actual assassination attempts against those who refuse to recite your catechism. Doxxing is no mere indiscretion; it is the modern reincarnation of Der Stürmer’s infamous “Judenlisten”...names, addresses, employers, photographs of children published with the explicit intent of unleashing the mob. The psychology is transparent and diseased: you cannot bear the existence of an uncooperative mind, so you seek to erase its material conditions of survival. This is not outrage; this is malignant envy wearing the mask of justice. As Nietzsche diagnosed long ago, the ressentiment of the weak turns lethal the moment it acquires the slightest power. You have acquired that power in the architecture of the internet, and you use it exactly as the brownshirts used the streets: to make certain thoughts physically untenable. Swatting is the twenty-first-century equivalent of the nocturnal house raid...the sudden, armored intrusion meant to induce primal terror in the target and prophylactic fear in every potential imitator. A fabricated emergency call sends paramilitary police through the front door at dawn, weapons hot, while wives and children cower. The parallel is not rhetorical; it is structural. The SA specialized in precisely this form of calibrated intimidation: disrupt the opponent’s domestic peace so profoundly that speech itself becomes an act of physical courage few will risk. You have simply updated the methodology. The pathology remains identical: an authoritarian personality so brittle that it requires the constant demonstration of dominance over the heretic’s most intimate sphere. And when digital exile and paramilitary theater fail to extinguish the offending voice? The mask slips entirely. You applaud...or at best remain studiously silent...when lead answers argument. Herbert Marcuse’s “repressive tolerance” was never a paradox; it was always a blueprint. Speech is free only insofar as it ratifies the ruling dogma; beyond that boundary lies legitimate violence. You have internalized the doctrine with textbook fidelity. This is no accident of ideology. It is the predictable metastasis of a worldview founded on the denial of human plurality. Where Mill saw truth emerging from the collision of contraries, you see only pollution to be eradicated. Where Voltaire demanded we defend to the death the right to speak what we abhor, you demand the death of anyone who refuses to adore what you prescribe. The slave morality Nietzsche anatomized has simply exchanged the priest’s cassock for the blue check and the pronoun pin. The envy is the same, the will to power disguised as compassion is the same, the joy taken in the destruction of the strong is the same. You are not the vanguard of emancipation. You are the latest iteration of the oldest totalitarian impulse: the terrorized child who, having once been powerless, now insists that no one else shall ever again enjoy the liberty that once wounded him. You fear the open air of free minds because your entire edifice...your morality, your identity, your claim to unassailable virtue...collapses the moment it is asked to survive contact with uncoerced reason. So continue, you exquisite little totalitarians. Whisper approval when the bullets fly. The ledger is being kept. And history, that merciless schoolmaster, has already graded your predecessors. They failed. You will fare no better. 🗡️💀⚖️🗡️

🚨🇬🇧Pakistani migrant Hussain imprisoned a 13-year-old girl in his basement. He forced her to take heroin and r*ped her for 1 month. Hussain invited 7 more friends to r*pe the numb girl and earned money from this. This happened in Bradford UK. Hussain was jailed for only 6.5 years.
