And this is an exact reminder of why we must stand against both Antisemitism and Islamophobia. The cynical forces who seek to divide our communities must never win. We will stand together.

We don’t know who did it, but guys, it doesn’t have to be perpetrated by the far right to be a good reminder of the need for us all, from all communities to stand together against racist hate that seeks to divide us - more than anything by seeking to pit Muslims against Jews.

No one instructed me to do anything nick. My conscience sees a man seeking to foster division and hatred against a religious minority and calls it out because it’s wrong and dangerous. If you think Islam is unique in demanding one god alone be worshipped, the Ten Commandments will blow your mind….

They are saying the quiet parts out loud now. They want you to hate women for not having enough babies. For daring to want to lead equal lives. They want you to hate someone who holds a different religion to you. For daring to practice it and pray. They want you to hate someone for disagreeing with them. For not sharing their values and standing up to them. They want you to hate. Its the currency of their world. Don't let it be the currency of yours.

The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK, in a Ramadan message to all UK Muslims, openly states that the goal of Islam is total control and takeover. No, it’s not a “misinterpretation” and there’s no deeper meaning or context to what he’s saying. He might as well have drawn it in crayon. We know exactly what he means. And once again I’m baffled, though not surprised, that there even exists a “Muslim Brotherhood leader in the UK,” but here we are... It’s essentially incitement to violence, or more specifically terrorism. But will the UK’s spineless leadership do anything about it? Judging by how Keir Starmer desperately wants to avoid Britain getting involved in the removal of the Islamic Regime in Iran to protect his Muslim voter base, I highly doubt it.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Can this letter writer not see how mad this is. No one looks to the UK, thinks about how marvellous we are, and copies our policies. Doesn't happen. And isn't going to happen.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone. And it's making you a worse person because of it. Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would. That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear. It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on. Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one. The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started. Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product. This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens. Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing. You're right. They're wrong. Even when the opposite is true.
