Sad to read in @thetimes that Bridget Phillipson is blaming me for delay to EHRC Code. She certainly stoops low. She had Code for 3 months when she sent me this letter last November - no indication of any grandstanding then.

The Islamic regime is preparing to execute Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish woman from Mahabad. Held in isolation for months and denied a lawyer, she was accused of "rebellion against the state" - a fabricated charge. Don’t look away. Be her voice.

In 1850, the average Dutch man was 5'4". He was shorter than the average French, German, English, and American man. By European standards, an unimpressive specimen. He was also fed primarily on grain. Over the next 150 years, the Dutch did something no other population in human history has matched. They added roughly 20 centimetres to the male average and 18 to the female. By 2000, the average Dutch man stood 6 feet tall. The tallest national average on the planet, and the title still holds. What happened in the Netherlands between 1850 and 2000: - The dairy industry expanded until, by 1950, the country had more cattle per square mile than anywhere in Europe. - Per-capita dairy consumption became the highest in the world. - Cheese, butter, full-cream milk, and yoghurt became central to every meal in every household, every day. - Meat consumption rose alongside the dairy. - The Dutch child of 1950 was eating, in protein terms, a transformed diet compared to his great-grandfather. The genetics didn't change. They couldn't have. 150 years is six generations. No selection pressure on Earth adds 20 centimetres in six generations. What changed was the food. The food was milk. The Netherlands looked at the result on twenty million subjects across a century and a half, and decided the result was the result. The dairy industry was protected. The cheese was celebrated. The butter stayed on the table. The Dutch in 2026 are still six feet tall on average. They are still drinking the milk. Current British advice to children is to switch to plant-based milks, on the grounds that dairy is "associated with environmental harm." The Dutch children, on the dairy, are taller, stronger-boned, and lower in deficiency markers than the British children currently being switched off it. Somebody on the advisory committee has noticed.

Sky News forgot to mention that they are all Afghan illegal immigrants A bit of honesty about what’s happening would help Hiding the truth is how the mainly Pakistani-origin grooming gang scandal was covered up for so long

Queen Natalie 👑@TheNorfolkLion·
I’m sorry I haven’t been around much these past few weeks. I’ve been feeling really deflated, not just here, but in real life too. Anxiety is a real thing, and when I’m at my lowest, being online actually makes it worse. I feel like I’ve lost my voice and can’t seem to find my passion again. That’s a me problem, one only I can fix. I tend to take everything to heart too much and let things I see on here get to me. Luckily, my voice isn’t needed as much anymore. We now have so many strong voices in the movement who are doing an incredible job speaking out and reporting daily on the awful things happening in our country. Sorry for the life story, I just wanted to explain why I’ve been so quiet and not replying to DMs. Thank you all for the support. I really appreciate each of you, and I hope I’ll find my voice again soon. 🇬🇧🙏🏻

Me in today's Daily Mail. I had to work with a Mail writer on this and would have written it rather differently if I had done it alone (so don't compliment me on the style or phrasing) but the overall sentiment is mine. I do keep pinching myself and saying I must be crazy to be coming to these conclusions but again and again I keep coming back to them. If I'd had the opportunity to write it myself, I would have said more and maybe differently. Here are a few random thoughts I wrote at the time which give my feelings more accurately.... .......................................................................................................... "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." "In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it." (George Orwell 1984) How do they control? Dissent is ruthlessly put down by the state or its proxies Directly - Through legislation - Through courts and judges whose neutrality is being increasingly called into question. - Sentences (Lucy Conolly's 31 months, and others) - A police force which devotes itself to pre-crime policing (“we need to check your thinking” one copper told Harry Miller when one of his Twitter posts had upset a trans activist). Indirectly - In the Soviet Union, if you expressed any dissent from the state’s values there were repercussions. - Climate scepticism or gender critical views in the UK meet that same response - You and your family were blocked from university places, professions, advancement It boils down to control by fear. The fear is contagious. Enough persecution goes on for the wider public to see what would happen to them if they too became a marked person – social ostracism, attacks on social media, your address leaked, house attacked etc. Who will risk their job/mortgage to speak out? When you know it will make no difference? To protest when HR demands everyone goes on anti-racist training or uses pronouns? No one. Nurses have lost their jobs, people in professional training have been expelled from their colleges, a Christian magistrate was dismissed. And then it spreads. Not just silence but compliance is demanded – “there’s no such thing as a non-racist, there are only racists and antiracists” (ie you are only one or the other, being just 'not racist' isn't permitted) “Lesbians who refuse to have sex with transwomen are transphobic.” The madness goes on. Women have been hurt or lost medals because men calling themselves women have muscled in on female sports. Vulnerable women have been raped in prison by men insisting they are women too. Schoolgirls have been assaulted in toilets by teenage boys. Compliance with state adopted dogma is demanded. So just like the latter days of the Soviet Union, when among the bread queues and the lack of consumer goods, no one believed Marx’s communist utopia was coming, you/they still have to mouth the words. Even though you know they are lies. Or suffer the consequences. You must mouth the words – “yes DEI policy is right, white supremacy does rule the country, I need to check my privilege, I agree there is a Climate emergency. - Now may I have my job/pay rise?” And no one, literally no one, believed that Axel Rudakubana, before we even knew his identity was just a ‘Welsh schoolboy’. As soon as government loses the consent of the people it governs it automatically descends into authoritarianism. It happened very quickly in Russia and became the norm. That is what we are seeing now – a despised prime minister, a cabinet riven by stories of corruption, tax dodging, “one rule for us none for you” which has betrayed the very group in society, the white working class, which it supposedly isn’t here to represent. And when that class tries to make its unhappiness known? When they see other minorities privileged by the state taking a blind eye to their excesses simply to curry votes (rape gangs, demos praising Hamas or the IRGC, the pro-Pal convoy calling for the rape of Jewish women), or to protests that the country is being transformed by an influx of foreigners with no love or loyalty for Britian, something they have consistently voted to stop, but not been listened to – then they are branded far-right, racist, hate filled, extremists, of fascists – a favoured insult from the left ever since Stalin first employed it. It doesn’t take more than two atoms of common sense to know this is nonsense. Nor does it take the most basis intelligence to know that when Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting, and countless others all declare that trans women are women, that a woman can have a penis, this is rampant insanity. (George Orwell quote … ). When David Lammy, the holder as Foreign Secretary of one of the great offices of state, went on record as saying a man could grow a cervix, it became apparent to everyone that the Labour Party had lost tis marbles. Totally. In the Soviet Union, Stalin decided that the theories of a peasant farmer, Trofim Lysenko should become state policy. One of Lysenko’s nuttiest ideas was that if you put some grain in a freezer you could ‘train’ it to start growing in the arctic. He was promoted to the highest position in agro-biological research. Those who stood in his way or disputed his theories were ousted, hundreds sacked and even their senior colleagues shot. Mao then took up his ideas and millions died in the consequent famine. The parallels in the trans debate are many. Gender critical medics are sacked. Young people are pumped with drugs whose ill effects have not been yet determined. Irreversible surgery mutilates them and they are rendered sexually sterile – for life. Like Lysenkoism, they are victims of a politically motivated fantasy. And like Lysenkoism, those who try to help these young people not go down such drastic, life-altering the path are criminalised as ‘conversion therapists’. George Orwell wrote all these in 1984 as the characteristics of a dictatorship modelled on Stalin’s USSR. How apposite they are today…. “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed — if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth." "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." "In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.

Oh dear. This doesn't sound good at all for Ireland and Luxembourg... Good job the UK isn't still in the EU so can avoid all of this.
Jack Power@jackpowerIT

A leaked paper seen by @IrishTimes has details of a plan by Europe’s largest economies to centralise oversight of financial markets at EU rather than national level, a proposed shift that would cause serious concern to Ireland and Luxembourg irishtimes.com/business/econo…

59% of England's biggest solar farms are on productive farmland. This is fundamentally wrong for so many reasons.

They do not even believe their own fantasy. On the left - a flood map forecast by Climate Central for 2030 On the right a 2,700 acre solar farm being planned. If it’s going to be under water in 3.5 years the location seems somewhat unwise. Or they know the flooding fears are codswallop. 💩 (Arrow on flood map shows approx location of solar farm)

The latest report from the Climate Change Committee claims Britain is set to see soaring temperatures and sharp rises in flooding and storms by 2050. There's just one problem, says Paul Homewood in the Climate Skeptic: none of it is plausible. climateskeptic.org/p/fact-checkin…

The NHS states that some folk should be avoiding FOLIC ACID but how can they when it’s being put into every item ingested? The appalling discovery that ORGANIC flour will have folic acid mandated must be brought to everyone’s attention! ORGANIC MEANS NO ARTIFICIAL CHEMICALS!🤬

As MPs consider whether to bring back the Bill for Assisted Dying that fell in the last session - spare a thought for the people who actually care for the dying. Prospect Hospice near Swindon in my constituency is running at half its potential capacity, with 6 beds open rather than 12, meaning they turn away 6 dying people per week. Patients are ending their lives in corridors in Great Western Hospital, 4 miles away, because of a failure to fund end of life care. Meanwhile over in Devizes Julia’s House, a hospice for the most seriously ill children - including terminally - is scrabbling for money to keep open. The most moving visit I’ve paid as an MP was to Julia’s House: a truly wonderful place, full of sadness and goodness. Yet they only get 8% of their income from the government. Hospices (a British invention) are the best institutions in the world. It’s great they attract so much philanthropy - long may it continue - but they deliver a service that is clearly healthcare, and the NHS is legally obliged to fund it; but it doesn’t, because there is no definition of what ‘it’ is. The government urgently needs to bring forward minimum standards that local health commissioners must follow in meeting their obligations to fund palliative care.
