There is no doubt that @BBCNews has legitimised antisemitism and helped to produce an atmosphere in which Jewish ambulances are burnt to the ground. The BBC is no longer a public service broadcaster worthy of the licence fee. @antisemitism

I would like to point out that Starmer has now managed to alienate the extreme centre His plans for the evisceration of English culture will be outlined in a new Labour publication called 'Der Starmer'

@JohnCleese When your PM allegience is to everyone but the English stuff like this is going to happen. UK as a western Christian country is in it final years & its been the plan by @UKLabour & @Conservatives for 60 years. Now the plan is bearing fruit.

@JohnCleese 👍

JK Rowling — a simply devastating and entirely justified attack on Nicola Sturgeon. If there’s any justice in the world she’d never recover from this. @jk_rowling

@thetimes Our Govt yet again siding with a Radical Islamist Regime in preference to supporting our closest allies. Starmer needs to go.

An Iranian tells you why the anti-brain Free Palestine mob is not calling to Free Iran: hey keep asking the same question: Why are lefties—why are the loudest pro-Gaza voices—completely silent when it comes to Iran? Well, the answer is simple: because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran would shatter the ideological fantasy that they've built. Let's be clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that survives by exporting violence, funding Islamists, and crushing its own people. And yes, it funds Hamas, it funds Hezbollah, it funds all the little proxies around the region and around the world with Iranian people's money—not the government’s money, not the regime’s money—stolen money, stolen money taken from the worker who cannot afford bread in Iran right now. Families crushed by inflation, taken from women who are beaten, jailed, tortured, raped for refusing religious obedience. And this is why lefties are silent: because Hamas fits their narrative, but Iranian people don’t. Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be reframed as resistance, but Islamist violence against Iranians exposes the truth. Right now Iran, a country of more than 92 million people, is being erased in real time. Near total blackout, no internet, no call services, no connectivity whatsoever. And yet, silence. No emergency protests on Western campuses, no hashtags, no solidarity statements, no megaphones, no tears. Because Iranian suffering does not fit their agenda. Because leftist movements today are not driven by human rights, they are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty. They will scream about censorship unless it’s done by an Islamist regime. They will condemn state violence unless it’s wrapped in religious language. They will chant “Free Palestine” but they will never say “Free Iran” because that would require admitting something unforgivable: that political Islam is not liberation, it is domination. And that is exactly what’s been happening in the West by the way—that the Islamic Republic is not anti-imperialist, it is imperial toward its own people. That Hamas is not some isolated resistance group, it is part of a broader Islamist ecosystem that is funded, trained, and sustained by regimes like the Islamic Republic in Iran. And here’s the part that they do not want to hear: you cannot claim moral superiority while excusing a regime that kills and murders women for refusing hijab, executes protesters, cuts off a whole nation of 92 million people from the internet, and uses foreign proxies as a distraction from its internal collapse. You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians being shot, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic Republic in Iran. That is not solidarity—that is ideological blindness. Iranian people are not silent, they are being silenced. And the silence from the Western left? Well, that’s a choice. A choice to protect an ideology, a choice to excuse Islamism, a choice to look away when millions of people are suffering because their suffering, Iranian people’s suffering, complicates a slogan. History will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke for universal freedom and who decided that some lives matter less than preserving a narrative. Long live Iran."

If anyone on the right had written a tweet half as offensive as these The Prime Minister would've had us arrested, denied bail, found guilty and sentenced by a Judge on their own Two Tier Keir in all his glory 🤮🤮🤮

We Britons are “dogs and monkeys” apparently. The police are “not human” and should be “killed”. The City of London and Downing Street should be burned down. Zionists (aka Jews) should be killed, including using drones to target their weddings. The Holocaust didn’t happen. White people are “a blight on the earth” and there needs to be a genocide to wipe them out. This is a mere fraction of the vitriol that has spewed from the mouth of one Alaa Abd el-Fattah. He’s clearly a man who hates Britain, is an anti-white racist, a rabid anti-Semite, preacher of hate generally and quite obviously, someone we wouldn’t want to ever step foot in our country. Indeed if we were unlucky enough to be visited by this vile man, presumably he would be arrested at the airport like the unfortunate comedian Graham Linehan, or locked up for 15 months like Lucy Connolly. You will forgive my surprise then when the country was given a belated late Christmas gift from the Prime Minister in the news that he now lives amongst us. What’s more, we are to be “delighted”. Rejoice! The nodding dogs of the Cabinet – Lammy, Cooper et cetera – took to X to express their excitement that he was now being inflicted upon the poor inhabitants of this country. It was, in their minds, a diplomatic coup. Think Nixon in China. The Prime Minister has claimed he did not know about el-Fattah’s views, but he had hardly concealed them. They were so well known in fact that he had a notable European peace prize rescinded in 2015 because of his anti-Semitic diatribes. The parable of Mr el-Fattah is, however, bigger than Starmer. It tells you everything you need to know about our broken British state. Firstly, he should not have been a British citizen at all. It shames me that the last government agreed to grant him a passport, the logic of which is hard to comprehend. Presumably the geniuses at the Foreign Office thought that giving him citizenship would put pressure upon the Egyptians to release him from captivity and it might have eventually done so. But be under no illusions, el-Fattah had only the most tenuous link to this country. He was born, raised, educated and worked in Egypt. His mother briefly lived in Britain and a loophole enabled a path to a passport. It reinforces the case I’ve made for years that we need a long path to indefinite leave to remain and citizenship. No shortcuts. British citizenship should be a great prize, to be earned, not tossed around like confetti. Secondly, whatever el-Fattah might have done in the Arab Spring, it was clearly no business of Britain to bring him to our country as he didn’t share our values. How could it possibly be a “top priority” of British foreign policy or even of our bilateral relationship with Egypt. When I went to Cairo in the autumn of 2023 to seek the support of the Egyptians to take back their foreign criminals and illegal migrants, I was told that our embassy was under massive pressure and would not be able to devote much resource to it. The October 7 atrocity had shaken the kaleidoscope and there was a flurry of diplomatic activity between our respective countries, understandably. It says a lot about the rot in the Foreign Office that they considered securing this man’s release more important, or even anywhere approaching the importance, of, say, stopping the boats. When I travelled as a minister in my quest to stop illegal migration I was constantly shocked – though there were exceptions, like our superb ambassadors in Albania and Italy – at how little our diplomats were focused on the actual priorities of the British people. Their own social media was a smorgasbord of trite interventions into fashionable causes like hoisting the rainbow flag above the embassy. Illegal migration was far too dirty and parochial an issue for much of the diplomatic elite. And thirdly, our political classes seem bewitched by the fleeting applause of celebrity backed campaigns. There is a sickening video in which TV and film stars queue up to extol the virtues of el-Fattah and demand Starmer intervenes. Would they like to defend his views now, perhaps to some British Jews? The BBC were quick to report the news that a “human rights campaigner” had been released, but remarkably slow to reveal the true nature of the man. It didn’t fit their narrative. Of course, like with the surrender of the Chagos Islands, there were human rights lawyers like Starmer’s good friend, Philippe Sands KC involved. The political and media class are possessed of a suicidal empathy in which they put the appearance of compassion above actually keeping our own people safe. It’s what the US vice president has spoken of, when he says Europe is in danger of committing “civilisational suicide”. So Starmer says he will fight to “eradicate anti-Semitism” after the Bondi Beach terror attack, but then ships an actual anti-Semite into the country. With hypocrisy of this order it’s no wonder his sidekick David Lammy was booed by the Jewish community in Manchester in October. This doublespeak is one of the reasons so many have total disdain for the ruling class and want to upend its cosy, failing club altogether. What to do now? El-Fattah has already taken to X and reposted a message criticising Starmer. With friends like that, who needs enemies? The Prime Minister should start by withdrawing his welcome and unalloyed praise for El Fattah. I would go further. Admit that this has been a massive failure of the British state from start to finish. This man’s citizenship should be revoked and he should be deported. That would send a signal that Britain is not prepared to be a joke country any longer.

A reminder. A police sergeant was left unable to drive, shower or dress herself after a Palestine Action activist allegedly hit her with a sledgehammer during a break-in at an Israeli defence firm's UK site, a trial has heard. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@elonmusk The EU makes more from fines on US tech, than tax from all of all public European tech companies combined.

@VividProwess I don’t understand why anyone *wouldn’t* choose the only open society in the region, with democracy, the rule of law and equal rights for all, over its vicious, genocidal and primitive enemies. I admire the professionalism of the IDF and its restraint in the face of barbarism.

For my non-Israeli, non-Jewish friends: What is your personal reason for supporting Israel?

To paraphrase Voltaire, those who believe in absurdities can commit atrocities without ever thinking they’re doing anything wrong. What would happen if there were an omnipotent AI that was trained to believe absurdities? Grok is the only AI that is laser-focused on truth.
