A terrified 8-year-old Yazidi girl was kidnapped by a 60-70 year old ISIS Muslim. For two years she was tied, beaten, and repeatedly raped, then sold to another. “One of their Emirs took 7 Yazidi girls. Others took 3-4,” she said. This is the horrific reality of the Yazidi genocide. Her testimony is heartbreaking. Watch the full video.

They are burning TVs because it’s haram and part of the modern world, while filming it on their phones and posting it online. Stupidity knows no bounds.

She escaped the Nazis. Then she spent the rest of her life warning us: the real danger isn't the dictator—it's when ordinary people can no longer tell truth from lies. 1933. Berlin. Hannah Arendt, 27, sat in a Gestapo cell. She had been caught doing something considered treasonous: researching antisemitism. Eight days of interrogation. Then, by luck and a sympathetic officer, she was released. She fled immediately. Czechoslovakia. France. After France fell, internment in a camp in the Pyrenees. Escape across Spain and Portugal. Finally, a ship to New York in 1941. She arrived with nothing but questions: how could a cultured nation descend into barbarism? How could ordinary people—teachers, doctors, neighbors—participate in systematic murder? Hannah spent the next four decades answering them. Born 1906 in Hanover, Germany, she lost her father at seven. Her mother raised her in intellectual freedom. She studied with Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers. Brilliant. But being Jewish in Nazi Germany made brilliance irrelevant. When Hitler rose, her career evaporated. Her safety evaporated. She became a refugee—and a thinker who would redefine how we understand tyranny. 1951. *The Origins of Totalitarianism*. She revealed the terrifying truth: totalitarianism doesn’t need true believers. It needs people who cannot distinguish fact from fiction. Lies don’t convince—they destroy the ability to know what is real. Propaganda floods the mind until people “believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.” 1961. The trial of Adolf Eichmann. Not a monster, but a bland bureaucrat. “Just following orders.” Arendt called it “the banality of evil.” Ordinary people, unthinking, enable atrocities. 1962. *Men in Dark Times*. Even in darkness, small acts of courage matter. Individuals who refuse to surrender judgment, who insist on distinguishing truth from lies, can ignite change. Arendt believed in “natality”—every birth carries the potential for new action, resistance, creation. No tyranny can fully extinguish human agency. December 4, 1975. New York City. Hannah Arendt died at 69, at her desk, mid-sentence, thinking. Today, her warnings are urgent: lies flood media, authoritarianism spreads, truth becomes contested. The antidote remains the same: think for yourself. Refuse to surrender your judgment. Protect the distinction between fact and fiction. Kindle your flickering light. Every person who refuses to stop thinking is an act of resistance. Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) Refugee. Philosopher. Truth-teller. The woman who escaped tyranny—and spent her life teaching us how to recognize it before it’s too late.

Despite the reams of coverage of the Murrell/Sturgeon scandal in today’s papers I still see no explanation of the camper van. Why did Murrell buy it and what did he plan to do with it? Did he park it on his mother’s driveway because he didn’t want his wife to know about it? Did he ever use it? I’m aware of all the rumours about him but have seen nothing to give them veracity. The whole camper van business is not just hilarious — but strange. A friend who knows him claims it was to be a mobile bedroom. Of course he has no evidence (other than the fact that, by definition, a camper van is a mobile bedroom). The mystery remains.

Today has been funny, but it’s not. That woman ran a horrible divisive regime that upset Scotland for years. It still lingers. She’s down in London at the moment posting pics of herself in the sunshine. She’s a disgrace.

As I have tried to persuade people before, not wanting your country to be taken over by a mediaeval woman-hating religion is not a 'far right' position More like self preservation And certainly not 'Islamophobia', a word that deliberately suggests that any criticism of Islam is irrational

Aamer Anwar has sent Scottish media a very threatening-sounding letter today warning them that if they don’t moderate any comments making defamatory allegations about Nicola Sturgeon, he’s been instructed to “consider” legal action and/or complaints to IPSO. Ooh, scary.

Like every other SNP parliamentarian, I gave the party £250 per month from my personal income after tax. Adding my party membership fees (paid at an enhanced rate) , I think it came to £35,000 over ten years. The £250 sub was an obligation for all MPs and MSPs, but I was happy to pay, as I believed it was going to the cause - not to keep Sturgeon in Smythson handbags and Mountblanc pens (stolen goods she was pictured with in this @TheSun report 👇). I had a good salary. But what of all the decent working people - as @joannaccherry pointed out today - who could ill afford the £10 or £20 donations they made to @theSNP ? It’s disgusting, and requires an internal investigation. Or rather an independent investigation. Who was monitoring the spend within the SNP? How come the former volunteer treasurer and former volunteer officials who questioned the finances were slapped down by @NicolaSturgeon and her acolytes? There remain good people at the top of the party ( of which I remain a member BTW) and I hope they will now abandon their misplaced loyalty to the former leader whose position meant she signed off the accounts, as I understand it. Finally…..well done to @WingsScotland for triggering the investigation - pilloried from all sides but vindicated today.

Seven hours of “no comment”. After all the trembling-voiced sermons. After all the moral superiority. After all the staged sincerity and little head tilts of wounded virtue. Nicola Sturgeon, when finally placed under pressure, chose silence. What a grim, self-serving fraud she turned out to be. Into the sea.

@AllisonPearson And don't forget, she was the first to entertain closer ties with Sinn Fein.

@AllisonPearson Her rhetoric caused such division in Scotland. If like me you were for the Union, you were labelled Quisling, traitor or Britnat, because you didn't support independence. Friendships have been lost because of this. She was a dictator in high heels.

Why is the media so lenient towards Sturgeon? Viciously judgmental towards Boris while no angel herself. Enjoyed exploiting Covid to score petty political points. Wrong about almost everything. Left Scotland the druggie capital of Europe. But, hey, she’s a progressive heroine!

This is brilliant!!

Three days ago, the Taliban made it legal to sell 9 year old girls off as sex slaves. Zohran Mamdani? Silent. The NYT? Silent. AOC? Silent. Mehdi Hasan? Silent. Cenk Uygur? Silent.

I posted this during the week but I'm doing it again because it's absolutely staggering. @AngelaRayner can claim £40,000 in direct office expenses and a further £240,000 for "staff costs" etc. She's also been gifted another quarter of a million quid from "supporters" to cover even more "office expenses". In total it comes to over £500,000 per year. Or £10,000 PER WEEK. FOR OFFICE EXPENSES. A UK pensioner is expected to survive on just £12,500 PER YEAR. That's just 9 days worth of Angela Rayners "office expenses". Are you OK with that?

@eNeecie Every other day a new motorhome appears in my mother-in-law's drive and Neil hands me another bucket full of jewellery and cosmetics. I can only assume he's got himself a part time job I'm too busy to ask about.

OMG listen to this. Who voted for this idiot? Absolutely clueless.

Let us be entirely clear on something that is often overlooked by the SNP. Either Sturgeon or Salmond must be long time liars. Both called out each other for being liars at the HR Committee hearing. Therefore one of these two Colossus of the party was a charlatan. Now the CEO ??

SCHEMING STURGEON SHOULD BE IN JAIL

This is CCTV photo of Lee Pomeroy a dad that's was travelling from Guilford to London with his 14 year old son , a row broke out with the other one pictured sitting down David Pencille when he blocked the aisle moments later Pencille stabbed Lee in front of his son 18 times in a frenzied attack and left him to bleed out and die at Horsley station in front of horrified passengers , this was one day before the dads 52nd birthday . Of course Pencille tried to deny the murder and said it was self defence but thankfully justice served as the jury all agreed to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 28 years , all very well but it doesn't bring the loving father and husband back in my mind .Very sad and proves our country is no longer safe for anyone
