Are the Greens actually extreme? Have people just been lying about them? Do they REALLY want totally open borders? Let's have a look at their updated migration policy. 🧵

The UK needs a fixed general-purpose geography – a commonly accepted set of names & areas for use in media reports, business, tourism, education, sport and leisure activities. The historic counties are the only credible choice. Counties Map from Stanfords tinyurl.com/5n8w2a2n

This is the way
Brivael - FR@BrivaelFr

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.

What's racist today? Today, flying your country's flag is racist if you're British. Good luck getting people to join the military when Trump pulls out of NATO. What are we going to salute, a printout of Labour's Islamophobia laws?

Dan Burmawi@DanBurmawy·
Islam's moral ceiling is fixed. It was set 1,400 years ago, by Muhammad and the Qur’an. You can’t go higher than Muhammad. He’s the limit. The ceiling. Muhammad married a child, took slaves, ordered executions, waged wars, lied, raped, hated, and stole. So how can anyone say those things are wrong if the man who did them is still your highest example? That’s why Islam doesn’t change, not because Muslims don’t want it to, but because they’re not allowed to imagine anything better than what’s already been given. The West, shaped by centuries of Judeo-Christian moral struggle, leaves space to climb. It admits mistakes. It reforms. It questions. It separates power from holiness. Islam doesn’t. That’s why it doesn’t evolve, and why, when it enters a modern society, it doesn’t integrate. It collides. Because a faith that locks morality in the 7th century can’t live peacefully in a world that keeps growing.

This is deeply disturbing to hear from a Member of Parliament and the Liberal Democrat’s Home Affairs Spokesperson. X is a platform that promotes free speech and allows users to share their views. Mass immigration is a major issue in public and political debate — and one that citizens should be freely able to engage with. It is not illegal to criticise mass immigration — but it appears @mpmwilko wishes it were 👇
Aylmer@AylmerTH

British MP Max Wilkinson: @x is a "massive problem" because it allows critics of mass immigration to "have their voice heard in a really easy way that they couldn't in the past".

This is an astonishing fact from today’s Sunday Times. At least 224 out of 257 new Labour MPs elected in July 2024 came from either charities or communications/lobbying agencies, or were formerly “political employees”. It explains so much about Labour backbenchers’ priorities.

Zack Polanski’s own family told me: 'If the Zionism-is-racism motion is passed it will make the Greens the most anti-Semitic party in British history since Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists,' said a second relation. 'The idea of it is one of the most sickening things I've heard in a long time.' A third family member said: 'The mad thing is that he's gay, he's Jewish but he's cosying up to people whose ideology is the complete antithesis of everything that he's supposed to stand for. It's like he's a chicken, telling us to vote for KFC!’ Ironically, the Green Party press office - apparently without irony - told me it would be antisemitism to publish this. Full story 👇🏼

I’ve been talking about this fascinating regression for 10 years in Britain. We were told second and third generations will automatically integrate regardless of cultures. But in Islamic families, we see a lot of second and third generations becoming more backwards than first.
Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@DrewPavlou

Mothin Ali’s parents were more integrated than Mothin Ali and his wife today. The second generation actually regressed back into Islamist peasant shit. What a fucking disaster, seriously.

Slave reparations! I’m all in! I’ve decided to personally gift £1 million Sterling to every single person my family ever enslaved. Please form an orderly queue and bring: • Ironclad documents proving my family personally enslaved you (bonus points if they include my great-great-grandpa’s signature and a Polaroid). • Your birth certificate proving you were born before Britain abolished slavery on 1 August 1834. • Proof you’re still alive (the gift can only be claimed in person, no ghosts, no estates, no “my ancestor told me so”). Oh, and while you’re at it, maybe swing by the local cemetery with a shovel. I’m sure those poor souls buried since the 1800s would appreciate being dug up for their cheque. They’ve waited long enough, right? Look, if we’re doing “reparations” for historical slavery, let’s do it properly: only to the actual victims. Not their great-great-great-grandchildren who were born free in the 20th or 21st century, sipping oat milk lattes while tweeting about “trauma.” This isn’t justice, it’s a cosmic-level grift. It’s like demanding the Roman Empire pay for the roads they built because some distant ancestor got conquered by Caesar. Or billing modern Italians for every Gaul who got turned into a slave 2,000 years ago. Newsflash: No living person in Britain today was a slave under British law, and no living person in Britain today owned slaves under British law. The people who suffered are dead. The people who profited are dead. Their descendants, Black, White, Asian, mixed, whatever had zero say in it. Chasing “reparations” from random taxpayers (including the descendants of abolitionists, coal miners, and people who arrived after 1834) isn’t healing historical wounds. It’s creating new ones while opening the most hilarious Pandora’s box in human history: • Should Ireland demand reparations from Britain for the Potato Famine? • Should Britain demand reparations from Denmark for the Viking slave raids? • Should Italians bill Mongols for the sack of Baghdad? • Should every African nation start invoicing each other for the centuries of tribal warfare and slave-trading that predated (and supplied) the transatlantic trade? Where does the grievance chain end? 1066? The Bronze Age? Lucy the Australopithecus getting stiffed on her cave rent? Slavery was a universal human horror, practised by every civilisation from the Egyptians to the Aztecs to the Arabs to the Africans themselves (who sold millions into the trade). Britain didn’t invent it. Britain ended it, at massive cost, with the Royal Navy spending decades hunting slave ships while other empires kept right on going. Demanding cash from people who never owned slaves, to give to people who were never slaves, isn’t “reparations.” It’s retroactive time-travel cosplay with other people’s money. It’s the ultimate participation trophy for historical victimhood: “My ancestor suffered, therefore I deserve a payout… even though I live in a free society with more opportunity than 99.9% of humans who ever lived.” If you want actual justice, how about this radical idea: Stop obsessing over who owes whom from 200 years ago, and start judging people by what they do today. Work hard. Build. Create. Don’t inherit grievances like their family heirlooms. The desire for slavery reparations isn’t righteous anger. It’s lazy, entitled, historically illiterate greed dressed up as moral superiority, demanding a lottery win for a suffering you never endured, from people who never caused it. My £1 million offer stands. Just bring the paperwork. And a time machine. #Reparations #Slavery Oh, and fcuk you Lenny Henry.

Dear @UN, Oldest slave trades: 1. Africans enslaving Africans: Thousands of years to today 2. Arab slave trade: 1000+ years to today British Empire slave trade? 1555 - 1807 Should Europe claim reparations for the Barbary Slave Trade in 1M+ WHITE SLAVES? North Africans enslaved at least 1 Million white Europeans in the Barbary Slave Trade, which lasted longer than the British Empire's trans-Atlantic slave trade. If the Caribbean and Africa want reparations, why is Europe also not entitled to reparations? Where does this end? Should Italy pay reparations for slavery in the Roman Empire?

🚨DERANGED: RAF Illegally BLOCKED 160+ White Male Pilots to Boost Diversity — MoD Confirms “This is one of the craziest decisions ever made by any branch of the British state ever!” The RAF literally paused hiring white men, preferring to recruit NO ONE over a qualified white male pilot, all to hit woke diversity quotas for women & ethnic minorities. A senior female recruitment officer resigned in protest, calling it illegal & immoral. MoD inquiry confirmed: it WAS unlawful positive discrimination. Over 160 male pilots had training suspended. 31 got compensation. This is deranged. Putting ideology before competence doesn’t make our military stronger, it puts national security at risk.

The UN is a corrupt joke More slaves were held by Africans than were EVER sent across the Atlantic 7 in every 1000 Africans is a slave TODAY: 10 MILLION people It took 300 years for 10M slaves to cross the Atlantic 🤦‍♂️ And the Arab Slave Trade in Africans continues TODAY! So where are the protests outside the embassies & high commissions of Nigeria, Sudan, Mali, Chad etc? Utterly contemptible. This is not about slavery at all. This is an attack on Britain, America and the West. Slavery is universal and as old as man. What was unique was the Christian evangelical movement that spread across Britain, America and Western Europe that led to the West ending its BRIEF involvement in slavery. Never forget: Britain was the first country in world history to deliberately make itself poorer in the pursuit of a moral good - i.e. the vast sums it expended enforcing an end to the slave trade on land and the high seas. We must call this nonsense out. Me at Cambridge:
Politics Global@PolitlcsGlobal

🚨🌍 NEW: The UN has voted to recognise the slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity” and also called for reparations to the countries impacted The UK, France and other EU member states abstained whilst the US, Israel and Argentina opposed the proposal

The moment you finally realise you’re leading the most authoritarian government in our country’s history: 1️⃣ Introducing an official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” that silences legitimate criticism of religion — 18 years after Parliament abolished such laws. 2️⃣ Removing the right of most defendants to have a jury trial, in the biggest assault on English liberty in over 800 years. 3️⃣ Requiring pub landlords to monitor customers’ private conversations to protect staff from remarks, comments, or jokes they may find “offensive”. 4️⃣ Clamping down on lawful social media posts, arresting an Irish comedian for gender-critical tweets and even threatening to ban access to X in the UK. It’s not a great look, is it, Prime Minister…
