Ok. So can the noble lord please explain how Britain bankrupting itself due to the MASSIVE cost of Net Zero make an iota of difference to global warming, given that: 1️⃣ We account for <1% of global CO₂ emissions; & 2️⃣ Not all scientists agree that climate change is the result oh human action, as opposed to cyclical? Asking for the British taxpayer.

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

🇹🇷Turkish media is in total panic right now, Because of INDIA. 🇮🇳After India agreed to send its advanced missiles to Cyprus, Turkish outlets are sounding the alarm. 🇮🇳Indian missiles and drones are set to be deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean -with BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles possibly heading to Cyprus as well. 🇹🇷They are calling it a major threat that completely changes the balance of power in the region. This is getting very serious.

You know why so much of the world hates Israel? Because we’re the only people conquered by Islam who returned to our land and took it back from the invaders. Everyone else stayed conquered. 💥 Am Israel Chai✌🏼

The public falls for IRGC rumors every single time. A regime affiliated outlet leaks “Trump agreed to all demands,” social media instantly spirals into “America surrendered,” and within hours people are declaring total defeat before the U.S. has even responded. Then Marco Rubio comes out and says the exact opposite: it’ll either be a GOOD deal or there won’t be one at all. Maybe stop treating regime propaganda as confirmed fact the second it hits the timeline.

In 1943, the Gestapo finally caught Raymond Aubrac — one of France's most wanted Resistance leaders. He was sentenced to death. His execution was days away. His wife Lucie was six months pregnant. Most people would have hidden. Would have grieved quietly and prayed for a miracle. Lucie Aubrac did something else entirely. She obtained forged identity papers, constructed a cover story, and walked straight into the office of Klaus Barbie — the man history would remember as the Butcher of Lyon — and convinced him to grant her a visit with the condemned man. She wasn't there to say goodbye. She was memorizing guard positions. Counting minutes. Mapping the route the prison truck would take. On October 21, 1943, that truck rolled through the streets of Lyon carrying Raymond and other prisoners toward what should have been the end. Lucie had spent weeks quietly assembling a team of Resistance fighters, planning an ambush with the precision of a military operation. When the truck reached the ambush point, the team struck — fast, coordinated, and without hesitation. In the chaos of gunfire and confusion, Raymond Aubrac was pulled free. Lucie — visibly, unmistakably pregnant — had organized every detail of his liberation. They went into hiding. Weeks later, Lucie gave birth to their daughter in a safe house while German forces searched for them across France. When liberation finally came, the Aubracs didn't merely survive — they rebuilt. Raymond became a celebrated engineer and entered public life. Lucie became a historian, pouring decades into ensuring that the women of the French Resistance — so often unnamed, so easily forgotten — were written permanently into the record. They raised three children. They traveled the world. They argued and laughed and grew old together. When journalists asked Lucie, years later, what had compelled her to risk everything that October day, she didn't hesitate. "He was my husband. What else would I do?" Lucie Aubrac passed away in 2007 at the age of 94. Raymond — who had once needed a commando team to be freed from a German prison — lived on until 2012, reaching 97 years old. In his final years, he continued speaking publicly about the Resistance, about memory, about the obligation to tell the truth. They had been married for 64 years. Not a love story built on grand gestures or perfect circumstances. A love story built in occupied France, in safe houses and forged documents and a prison truck ambush on a Lyon street — forged in fire, and never broken. True love doesn't wait for rescue. Sometimes, it does the rescuing

🚨 BREAKING: Labour Councillor Srikanth Panjala QUITS Labour and joins the Conservatives. Citing “division and hatred” inside Labour, Panjala said he entered politics to deliver positive change - not toxic party politics. He praised Conservative councillors for their support and described the Conservative Party as “inclusive, supportive and progressive.” Another blow for Labour in Thurrock! 💪

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.

Einstein was not only one of the greatest figures of modern physics, but also a Jewish scientist whose career was shaped and permeated by antisemitism long before Hitler came to power. In 1905, he published the theory of special relativity. That same year, Philipp Lenard received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Lenard later claimed that Einstein’s theory became popular not because of its scientific merit, but because of some kind of “Jewish conspiracy.” The scientific debate thus gradually ceased to be about arguments and became instead about origin, hatred, and political obsession. A familiar mechanism: when someone cannot understand the equation, they soon discover the Jewish conspiracy behind it. In the early 1920s, Einstein became the target of increasingly vicious attacks in the German press and academic circles. Relativity theory was branded as “Jewish physics.” In September 1920, he debated Lenard in Bad Nauheim at the meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians, while antisemitic demonstrations and heckling accompanied his public appearances. During the same period, groups demanding “pure science” also emerged, though what they truly wanted was not scientific purity, but the exclusion of Jews. Anti-Einstein rallies were held in Berlin, antisemitic pamphlets were distributed, and the campaign against relativity degenerated into a politically motivated antisemitic crusade. By 1922, the atmosphere had become so threatening that Einstein no longer considered public appearances safe. He did not yet leave Germany permanently, but he clearly saw the direction in which German public life was heading. In one of his letters, he wrote that he was well, living quietly, and trying to remain independent from the state. Freedom was no longer merely a professional issue — it had become a strategy for survival. Einstein later became an important supporter of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For him, Jewish scientific and intellectual independence did not mean isolationism, but rather a response to a world that periodically explained to Jews, in polite language, where they did not belong. In a 1947 letter to Jawaharlal Nehru, Einstein wrote that he had embraced the cause of Zionism long before Hitler’s rise because he saw in it the possibility of correcting a grave historical injustice. For centuries, the Jewish people had lived as a persecuted nation deprived of rights, and Zionism sought to end that vulnerability. Einstein was not a man of simplistic political slogans. He did not think in terms of tribal triumph, nor was he a nationalist. But he understood clearly that a people with no secure refuge anywhere is ultimately dependent on the goodwill of others. History, however, has not proven to be a particularly reliable partner in that regard. In 1935, writing from America, Einstein warned that hostility toward Jewish professors and students at universities was growing dangerously stronger, even if it appeared in polite or hypocritical forms. Perhaps this is the most unsettling sentence in the entire story. Antisemitism does not always wear boots and armbands. Often it comes with departmental committees, moral language, carefully chosen words, and seemingly modern justifications. That is why Einstein’s story still resonates today. Because hatred of Jews often does not disappear — it merely changes its clothing. Philipp Lenard and his associates ultimately ended up on the poisoned margins of history. Einstein’s name, however, outlived them and became one of the symbols of the modern spirit. This does not undo hatred, nor erase every historical bitterness, but it does remind us of something: obsession may be louder, but truth endures longer. 📷 In February 1923, Einstein and his wife Elsa spent two weeks in Jerusalem during the British Mandate, traveling from Japan to Europe. During the visit, he delivered a speech on the future site of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, whose founding he actively supported. The photograph was taken beside the distinctive stone building of the École Biblique in Jerusalem.

The Telegraph: Macron tore up 65 years of doctrine to defend Europe with French nukes, with or without the US. Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, and now the Czech Republic will host French nuclear-armed Rafales. 1/

Tens of thousands pro-EU anti-Russia protesters are out on the streets of Tbilisi tonight on Independence Day, demanding free elections and democracy in the Georgia. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

According to Russian sources, Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian defense lines south of Zaporizhia. We await further developments.

🚨GERMANY WANTS TO WITHDRAW FROM THE 🇪🇺 EUROPEAN UNION! 🇩🇪 Germany’s RIGHT-WING party (AfD), the Alternative for Germany, is rapidly gaining popularity across the nation and wants to LEAVE the European Union if it secures a victory in the upcoming election.

So that’s another £500m loss in lifetime costs to the British state - all because of the dim-wittedness and dishonesty of our ruling elite.

It's striking how very swiftly we've accepted an event so mightily strange as the Makerfield by-election. After a couple of days of marvelling at the spectacle – a politician aiming to get back into Parliament for the express purpose of unseating his party leader – the media started treating the farrago like a totally normal event, and switched from boggling at the weirdness of it all to doing all the usual by-election stuff. Getting aerated about random polls, digging up the candidates' salty old tweets, hanging about in pubs chatting to locals, etc. The novelty of the thing has evaporated. Indeed, Andy Burnham's public campaign launch last week felt very much like business as usual. Sad-eyed Andy did his customary thing, getting totes emoshe about the north, while trying to get away from it. 'I love this place, I love the people of this place,' he said of this Wigan suburb, 'but what I have inside is a burning sense of injustice that the proud communities of this place face a Westminster system that puts them at the bottom of the list'. Andy cares, you see, and like many politicians he likes to let you know how passionate he is inside, how very much he loves the special people of this very ordinary place. They're more loveable than the very similar people in places like Essex and Kent because they're slightly further away from London, and it's a fact that you get more adorable and authentic with every mile of distance from Westminster. ✍️ Gareth Roberts Article | spectator.com/article/the-pr…

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy has seized the initiative from both Putin and Donald Trump, while Ukraine has gained new leverage. Both Putin and Trump had bet on a quick victory; however, in the end both found themselves in a strategic trap: Russia has become bogged down in the war, while the United States has become entangled in a new conflict in the Middle East. Ukraine is gradually changing the rules of warfare. Kyiv has learned to carry out strikes deep inside Russian territory and to shoot down expensive Russian missiles using relatively cheap, domestically produced interception systems. The Pentagon is already showing interest in Ukrainian military technologies and innovations, and Donald Trump’s statement that “Zelenskyy has no cards” no longer corresponds to reality. It is precisely medium-sized powers like Ukraine that are demonstrating to the world today how successful resistance against much stronger adversaries is possible. Video is generated by grok AI

Just imagine how far Europe has fallen!! UK universities removed from UAE’s approved scholarship list over fears of political Islam and extremism. A Muslim country from the Arabian Peninsula scared of “Islamic extremism” in the UK! You can’t make this shit up😂

A few hours ago, the Israeli military struck an apartment building on Wahda Street, west of Gaza City. The target of the attack was Hamas' new military chief Muhammad Odeh who replaced Izz al-Din al-Haddad. --- It appears the strike was successful. A deeply embarrassing incident for Hamas. Even Abdel al-Rantisi managed to last three weeks as chief after the killing of Ahmed Yassin. Odeh lasted about a week.

🚨 DO YOU HAVE A BETTER WAY? Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Lebanon: “The most effective way to stop Hezbollah is to announce that for every drone, 10 buildings in Beirut will be destroyed. Seven drones means 70 buildings. Fifteen drones means 150. And if the buildings in Beirut run out, we move on to Tyre, Sidon, and the Beqaa Valley.”
