Frances has gone in early on one of the most moronic Twitter cycles of any given year. Tomorrow, she’ll tweet about Palestinian Jesus, and how Yasser Arafat was a direct descendent of Santa Claus.

Hi chemist here 👋 Oil and gas isn’t just fuel. It’s the backbone of modern life. Fertilizers → feed billions. Plastics → sterile medicine, safe food. Materials → phones, insulation, clothing.
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature

How stupid is it that we’re fighting even more wars over oil when we could have spent the same amount of money and transitioned the entire goddamn planet to renewables?

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don’t belong in women’s sport? That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context? That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex? That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights? That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society? That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit? That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t? That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology? That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century? Let me have your thoughts.

Me: "Iran have attempted over 20 terrorist attacks on the UK in the past few years" Starmer: "That's fine" Me: "Iran are trying to destabilise our country, posing online as Scottish Independence activists to stir up tension" Starmer: "That's fine" Me: "Iran attacked the UK sovereign military base, RAF Akrotiri, with suicide drones" Starmer: "That's fine" Me: "Iran just launched two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, the UK-US military base in the Chagos Islands" Starmer: "That's fine" Me: "Iran tried to infiltrate the UK military base where our nuclear submarine fleet is based" Starmer: "That's fine" What in the hell does Iran have to do, in order for the UK to respond and defend its damn self?

This is Nazi enthusiast Mathew Collings. Matthew dehumanizes Jews with his vile child-like drawings. Matthew is an abomination.

In Margate. My cheeks are red. I am shaking. I popped into an exhibition that turned out to be the insane fever dream of an artist called Matthew Collins: ‘Drawings Against Genocide.’ The exhibition is described as ‘drawings… raising consciousness about hell…. Israel is the pure encapsulation of it. Zionism is this terror state’s ruling ideology.’ Shocked by the use of Nazi imagery - the room is full of the Star of David pasted around figures meant to be Israelis and the Jewish ‘lobby’ spewing blood, to say nothing of blonde yummy mummies wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ shirts, I spoke to the artist to share my reaction as a Jewish person. He was instantly aggressive. As soon as I started to say I was shocked and threatened by what I was seeing because it was Nazi imagery, the artist started yelling at me that I didn’t mean anything I was saying. Anytime I tried to speak (calmly) he said: ‘you don’t mean any of what you said, you’re just repeating ‘hasbarah talking points’ because ‘you’re defending a genocide’. On and on he yelled, in my face. I said: ‘if I was a Black person…’ but couldn’t finish the sentence because: ‘you’re not are you?’ On the Nazi ideology point he said: ‘yeah. Why do you think it’s there. Israel are the Nazis’. His breath was disgusting. The crowd began booing and closing in around me, making to shoe me out. I said: ‘fine, get the Jew out’ and he yelled more across the room at me, ‘repeatedly jeering ‘call the police, go ahead, call the police’. I said I would, and the community security trust, which features as a devil in his exhibition. This was met with even more jeering. ‘Yeah, call the CST’ was the last I heard before leaving. Someone snapped pictures of me while I was being shouted at. Short video shows the artist. The longer video, of our final almost surreally disgusting exchange, didn’t record.

The Guardian has been busy pushing the Labour line that the energy crisis triggered by the Iran war proves Ed Miliband right about renewables. Don't you believe it, says Ben Pile: the economic fundamentals haven't changed. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/22/no-…

Narinder… He left the comments on for 7 replies… all positive… before he switched them off, as per usual. As you can see below. Those who RT’d him are rightly frustrated, angry & fed up with him. NOT because he’s “having a coffee”, but for the plethora of examples of his rudeness, hypocrisy, double-standards, lies & malicious division. He’s an elected official who should be answerable to the public, yet consistently trolls us by arrogantly refusing to answer or be held accountable for anything. He’s been Mayor for nearly 10 years now. If you truly believe the only people who are sick to the back teeth with him are the “radicalised far-right”, then I have a live pterodactyl to sell you. But to suggest this is simply to do with him “having a coffee” is patently absurd.

𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗠𝗔𝗡: "𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗥 𝗞𝗘𝗜𝗥. 𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗡'𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗝𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗠 𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦." Dame Maureen Lipman — one of Britain's most beloved actresses, a Dame of the British Empire, and a Jewish woman who has watched antisemitism consume her country in real time — just said what the political class refuses to say. In a new Telegraph interview, Lipman delivered the most honest political diagnosis of Keir Starmer's paralysis on Jewish issues: he can't back Jews because he's terrified of losing Muslim votes. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Not a principled policy disagreement. Not a nuanced foreign policy position. Pure electoral arithmetic: Jewish voters in Britain number around 300,000. Muslim voters number around 4 million. The Labour coalition has made its choice, and Jews are on the wrong side of the ledger. Lipman is also unequivocal about the BBC: "The BBC is biased. Over 36,000 Iranians protesting for freedom were massacred by the regime in January. That seems to be forgotten — but if one Palestinian child dies, then Lyse Doucet is flown in to report on it." This is a woman who resigned from the actors' union Equity after fifty years because of its vocal support for pro-Palestine marches. Who has watched a certain coldness enter her professional relationships because she refuses to pretend that Jewish lives matter less than the political convenience of her peers. Who has spent years being called extreme for saying things that are obviously true. She called the left's selective compassion exactly what it is. And she noticed — as anyone paying attention has noticed — that the institutional bias isn't subtle anymore. It's systematic. Thirty-six thousand Iranians massacred in a two-day government crackdown. Buried. One child in Gaza. Lyse Doucet on the first plane. Lipman is not a political figure. She is an actress and a writer and a Jewish woman living in a country that is making her feel increasingly unwelcome. The fact that she has to say these things at all — that saying them costs her professionally, socially, institutionally — is itself the story. 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗝𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀.

The fact that someone can get a art exhibition out of combining primary-school level artwork with gross antisemitism tells you an awful lot about the nature of the art world and left-wing politics in general.
Heidi Bachram@HeidiBachram

This is not the Israeli flag. This is the Jewish Star of David with blood flowing from it. That’s gross antisemitism and if it’s in this exhibition in Margate then it’s a racist display. @kent_police

Cuban journalist @yoanisanchez on the Useful Idiot convoy: ‘They claim they want to "break the energy blockade" but the meet at the Convention Palace, spending the electricity that would illuminate several buildings in my neighborhood plunged in darkness. ‘In front of microphones they reject "the policy of suffocation" against the Island and yet they embrace those who silence us, take pictures with those who repress us and smile next to those who destroy our nation, making our children emigrate and drowning our hope.’

BBC News sent a reporter to the University of Kent to interview students queueing up for a meningitis jab. As is the rule for all BBC reports like this, at least one of the interviewees must be a cross-dressing man wearing a Palestine badge

A group of entitled champagne socialists went to Cuba to “deliver aid.” The group included Hasan Piker (wearing $1,380 Cartier glasses) and pro-CCP, pro-Kremlin Code Pink activists. They flew in first class, stayed at a five-star hotel, and partied all night while most Cubans had no electricity. They probably ate more food than they delivered.
