Taking Liberties

Reform event in Croydon disrupted. The authoritarian Left are now giving themselves licence to decide who can and cannot speak. Where else in history have we seen this?

Most of course know exactly what they are lending their support to. What unites Islamists with the Green & Trot New Left is a detestation of Enlightenment, 'logocentric' civilisation. They are cultural revolutionaries and they know western liberalism is their common enemy. We are now in an existential battle for civilisation and against barbarism.

Could it be that a lot of people going on these marches genuinely have no idea what they are supporting, or do they consciously support this murderous, tyrannical regime and therefore the continued suppression of the Iranian people?

@Glinner and both into the politics of group-identity!

Is it just me?

2 tier university injustice: this student suspended for responding to an aggressive activist. Great that there are students like Brodie prepared to stand up to the barbarians now dominating the campuses.

@toadmeister Apparently he's a 'Liberal' 'Democrat'! At least he is helping to out his party as the New Left Authoritarians they are along with the Greens, Labour, SNP, Plaid ...

Labour MP Max Wilkinson says the quiet part out loud: He doesn't like X because it enables people who think immigration is too high to have their voices heard.

The real puritans are now on today's Left; anti- alcohol, anti-smoking, anti-meat eating, anti-free speech, pro-Net Zero. Nobody is saying Polanski and his fellow twerps shouldn't 'dance' by law (it's Islamists who want to do that), just that this performance was embarrassing, horribly smug in feel.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having. The far right are PURITANS! We know how well that worked out for Cromwell and his dour fun-wreckers, don't we?

@AllisonPearson @mpmwilko The 'Liberal' 'Democrats', the most inappropriately named political party in history! As Wilkinson demonstrates here, they are really now just a component part of the New Authoritarian Left coalition.

God forbid people should be able to say on X that immigration is far too high. Or that it is causing problems for our way of life. Lib Dem MP Max Wilkinson thinks those opinions should be silenced. How dare he! @mpmwilko

It's called democracy, free speech get used to it. You don't seem to care about the millions the Rowntree Trust and George Soros have pumped into left-wing propaganda outlets. Plus public sector financing for 'Hope Not Hate', Stonewall & others. The real aim of the New Authoritarian Left is to restrict the capacity of its opponents through legal intervention to compete on a level playing field. Hence your government's new Islamophobia blasphemy definition and restrictions on donations non-resident UK citizens can make (whilst leaving Labour's funding streams untouched).

In case you missed it... @guardian has reported our research uncovering a £170m “media-political complex” behind Britain’s populist right. Here’s the book: whypopulistsarewinning.com And here’s the story: theguardian.com/media/2026/mar…

The 'Extreme Far Left'/'Far Right' have in the context of now, in my opinion as a liberal, have effectively fused into a Third Way authoritarian mush. They do not own their illiberal politics in the way the old 20th century totalitarians did. They deny being anti-democratic but want ever more powers transferred to non-accountable bodies like the EU and judges interpreting 'human rights' law. plus, ever more controls over what we can say.

@takinglibs @AylmerTH @X They are the Extreme Far Left.

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".

A brilliant analysis by Tom Slater of Saturday's coming together of New Left factions in London. It was an important moment for those of us who want to preserve British democracy & civilisation.

@darrengrimes Why do you dignify such people with the complimentary term 'liberal'? These people are fellow travellers for the totalitarianism of Trotskyites and Islamists. Referring to them as liberal only serves to make them politically respectable.

The absolute state of the London liberal. Here we have a woman, likely a member of the "educated" elite, clutching a "Stop Bombing Iran" sign. She’s confronted by an Iranian woman—someone who has actually lived under the thumb of that regime, someone who has been imprisoned by them, someone who cannot even return to visit her father's grave. Does the protester listen? Does she pause to consider the reality of the "regime" she’s indirectly defending? Of course not. She offers a vacant, condescending smirk. It is a perfect distillation of the modern Left: prioritising performative virtue and anti-Western slogans over the lived reality of the very people they claim to care about. They’d rather side with a theocratic, oppressive regime than admit that the bad guys aren’t those in the West. Total and utter woke vapidness.

The 'queering', Green faction of the emerging New Left coalition we saw yesterday provides the totalitarian Islamist and Trotskyite components with much needed cover re the white middle classes in Cambridge, Brighton and so on. Classic popular frontism. This is why useful idiot Quakers and Anglican types were supporting the march alongside Islamists carrying Iranian regime flags and one-party-state Trots.

Idiocracy. Stupid but also degenerate.

It's great, from a strategic perspective, that the Islamo-Fasc-Left coalition is now becoming semi-formalised and outing itself. Now is the time for trad, democratic left-wingers, conservatives and real liberals to form a popular front for western civilisation. No to the new barbarianism!

Mindblowing. How could Coogan be so thick as to support this?

Polanski all of the people prancing about in this embarrassing performance would either be hanged or, at best, tortured and imprisoned if they did this in Iran. Yet, yesterday, the Greens and other middle class leftists were happy to march alongside Islamists carrying the flag of the Iranian regime. The Muslim Association of Britain, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, were one of the main bodies supporting the event.

Well, well, well… Yesterday we were told half a million people took to the streets in the “largest anti-far right march in British history.” The truth? It was the same well-funded, well-organised left-wing machine that shows up every single time, trade unions, NGOs, Stand Up To Racism, Palestine groups, and dozens of compromised Labour MPs all bussed in, paid for, and choreographed to create the illusion of mass public support. Here they are, every single one of them compromised: Zarah Sultana, Stella Creasy, Dawn Butler, John McDonnell, Richard Burgon, Rebecca Long Bailey, Nadia Whittome, Apsana Begum, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Clive Lewis, Ian Lavery, Paula Barker, Kim Johnson, Mary Kelly Foy, Peter Dowd, Rachael Maskell, Olivia Blake, Ian Byrne, Grahame Morris, Lee Barron, Elaine Orr Stewart, Dr Simon Opher, Chris Hinchcliff, Brian Leishman, Cat Eccles, Peter Lamb, Richard Quigley, Steve Witherden… plus Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville Roberts and Independent Iqbal Mohamed. Every last one of them stood on those platforms yesterday pretending to speak for “the people” while their own constituencies rot under grooming scandals, knife crime, mass immigration, and economic decline. These are not principled politicians. These are career activists and establishment mouthpieces who only ever turn out when the script says “attack the native working class and call them far right.” They don’t represent Britain. They represent the machine that has spent years betraying Britain. And yesterday they all crawled out of the same swamp together, waving the same flags, chanting the same slogans, funded by the same networks. This is just a teaser. As the day unfolds, we’re going to expose every single one of these great new faces, their dirty pasts, their secrets, and exactly how they’ve been destroying England. They’ve just served themselves up on a silver platter. The British public sees you clearly now. You are not the voice of the people. You are the voice of the people who hate the people. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@narindertweets According to the cops there were only 50k. And why is it news that Trots, Islamists, supporters of the Iranian regime and other neo-fascists got together and marched about to no purpose? Other than to remind the British people how insane and sinister they all are?

Any mention of the 500,000 who marched against the rise of the far-right and racism yesterday in London on ##bbclaurak or Trevor Phillips this morning? Or have they just ignored it?

@JournoStephen Cox like the rest of the SNP wants Scotland to be governed from Brussels. How is that 'independence'?

How Westminster patronises Scotland: Gave us our own parliament with sweeping devolved powers, Gave us our own government, Gave us more devolved powers (2012), Gave us an indyref, Gave us even more devolved powers (2016), Gives us higher per capita spending than England.

Given the contemporary, mainstream left-wing parties (with a few individual Labour exceptions) are now dominated by a freakish ideology, better voters can see clearly what they really stand for. I wouldn't like to be a Labour or Green candidate in a classic Red Wall seat like Darlington. People have a sense of objective reality and decency in such places, unlike inner London, Brighton, Bristol and so on.

Labour, Green Party and Lib Dem councillors in Darlington have joined forces to defeat a Conservative and Reform motion that women's public spaces must be for women only. The three parties said this interpretation of the law was "anti trans" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In a liberal democracy the streets, public space, don't 'belong' to you or any one political faction. But then, the Greens support Bristol Brownshirts going door to door intimidating local residents into supporting boycott campaigns against Jewish businesses. The Green party under its current leadership is a proto-totalitarian movement. Hence, you marched alonside Islamists yesterday.

Today, half a million people marched against racism and division as @UKTogetherAll The emboldenment of the far right is a grave concern for all of us. Today, Brits said loud and clear: they do not represent us. Our streets belong to us, not to fearmongers who preach hate 🫱🏼‍🫲🏿🪧

@MInthenow70635 THAT erotic?? Guess it depends on your understanding of that concept. Not exactly decadent Weimar Berlin!

"A big shout out to the LGBT Community" Yeah and those homophobic terrorists and regimes you support would mow you brain dead morons down like harvest wheat.
