@LowEndLeader I’m going to give you a 19th/20th Century Turkish word that must be considered by all leaders (#prententious, or not): *adamsendecilik* ‘being messed about in a pointless way by someone in authority to the point at which you need help’ - that’s what’s got to stop at every level.

Made it my life’s mission to become the Taliban’s worst nightmare: A highly educated Afghan woman. First, Columbia University at the top of my class, and now Oxford University. Give Afghan girls one chance and see what they can achieve.

Today we pause to remember the extraordinary sacrifice of Sergeant Michael Willetts GC, whose brave actions on the evening of 25 May 1971 in Northern Ireland saved the lives of adults and children but tragically cost him his own.  Sgt Willetts was serving with 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, in Belfast when a terrorist entered the Springfield Road Police Station in Belfast, dumped a suitcase containing a bomb and fled outside.  Inside the room were two adults, two children and several police officers, who raised the alarm and began to organize the evacuation of the hall.  Sgt Willetts was on duty in the inner hall. Hearing the alarm, he sent an NCO up to the first floor to warn those above and hastened to the door towards which a police officer was thrusting those in the reception hall and office. He held the door open while all passed safely through and then stood in the doorway, shielding those taking cover.  In the next moment, the bomb exploded with terrible force and Sgt Willets was mortally wounded. His duty did not require him to enter the threatened area; his post was elsewhere and he knew the peril of going towards a terrorist bomb, but he did not hesitate to do so.  All those approaching the door from the far side agreed that if they had had to check to open the door they would have perished.   For his act of the greatest gallantry and complete disregard for his own safety in striving to save others, Sgt Willetts was posthumously awarded the George Cross. 🟩

‘Labour could be a world beacon for women’s rights’ ‘Our Government could embolden those who buckle under trans demands, but it remains an outlier’ By @MrTCHarris telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/2…

Serial gang rapists living freely in our communities should be named. It’s a matter of public safety.

Almost every UK media outlet spread numerous lies about the treatment of the flotilla activists in Israel. Yet only @Telegraph published the news about the Gaza flotilla activists beaten by Spanish police. Just one. Silence from the rest. This is two-tier reporting.

Lord help us #Today Charlotte Proudman put forward as an expert on youth offending sentences proving she absolutely is not. Look at sentencing policy & guidelines which tie Judges hands. I swiftly add it’s abs right the sentence goes to the Ct of Appeal

You can tell a lot about a man’s insecurities by the things he holds in contempt

Because it’s completely made up. Hope this helps.

When the media’s cameras were on her, she was in a neck brace, saying Israel paralyzed her. Moments later, she is smiling with flowers. The flotilla useful idiots are truly stooges.

From ‘barely clinging to life’ to ‘full of energy’ in just 12 hours! That’s not a miracle, that’s Oscar-level acting. Second-class hypocrisy 😎

On This Day — May 24, 1967 A nervous Israel waited for America to save it. Israel would be disappointed. Egyptian troops massed in Sinai. The Straits of Tiran were closed. Arab armies surrounded the young Jewish state on every border. Genocidal threats poured from Arab radio stations. Prime Minister Levi Eshkol held back because President Lyndon Johnson had promised an international naval convoy (“Regatta”) to break the illegal Egyptian blockade of Eilat strangling the fragile Israeli economy. Johnson urged Israel: Don’t strike first. Trust us. But Vietnam consumed America. The convoy plan quietly collapsed. The U.S. knew it — yet kept stringing Israel along for days, withholding the truth while demanding restraint. Meanwhile, Arab leaders openly celebrated the coming destruction: Damascus Radio: “We shall hang the last imperialist soldier with the entrails of the last Zionist.” Cairo’s Voice of the Arabs: “The Zionist barracks in Palestine is about to collapse ... Every Arab has been living for the past 19 years on one hope — to see the day Israel is liquidated.” Diplomacy failed. Guarantees failed. Eleven days later, Israel launched one of the most stunningly successful military strikes in history. The lesson remains as true today as it was then: The tiny Jewish state cannot afford to wait for others when facing existential threats and enemies who openly call for our destruction. What will save Israel? Strength. Timing. And the unbreakable will to survive.

Well said Chris

Miracles do indeed happen 🤭 A young German female activist from the latest Gaza flotilla was filmed by media in a neck-brace with her face looking “bruised and battered”, her expression tearful and “traumatized” after being held for a few hours in Israel. But then…. The Miracle 🤣 Just a couple of hours later, the same young German female activist was filmed perfectly fine, bouncing around, smiling and cheering… no bruises, no marks, no neck-brace, no injuries, no anything in fact. It is simply incredible the superhuman powers of recovery she showed. Even Wolverine and the X-Men would be jealous 😂

So, anyone inside UK @DefenceHQ who might be saying, "now would be a really good time to buy INSERT US WEAPON NAME HERE", tell them that they are catastrophically stupid - you'd have to pay 100% up front, yet have no delivery date.

This is VERY bad. Palestine Action have put Jewish Civilian addresses and personal details on a Target Map teaching people how “choose a target”
