@Spudgun26 @StopTheHate_UK @nicolelampert @wesstreeting If only there was a genocide

@StopTheHate_UK @nicolelampert @wesstreeting NHS staff standing up against genocide is fantastic. Well done to all the protestors.

Yesterday in London, among the Ayatollah fans, a group of NHS workers in their scrubs marched and sung about how they wanted to ‘kick the Zionists out, out, out’ miming how they would do the kicking. How can this be allowed to continue @wesstreeting?

My monologue on what the new world order means for Britain, from @TimesRadio today: For those of you who’ve not yet copped that we’re at a watershed in global politics I suggest you have a read of Mark Carney’s speech in Davos yesterday. It’s not often a Canadian prime minister charts a seminal change in world politics. But Carney, a former governor of the Bank of England, has.  This is the key passage: “Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions—that they must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains. And this impulse is understandable. A country that can’t feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.” Coming from a fully-paid up member of the liberal global elite, this is dynamite. Carney says the era of global integration is over and that what he calls ‘middle powers’, like Canada and the UK, who benefitted from it and got used to working through global institutions — like the WTO, the UN, COP, NATO, the EU — need to realise the game is up.  If you can’t feed, fuel and defend yourself in this new world of rupture you’re finished. So these are his priorities for Canada. He’s junked a lot of his net zero baggage to increase Canada’s energy security. He’s moving from multilateral to bilateral deals he thinks will benefit Canada, most recently with China. And he’s doubling spending on defence.  The British government should take stock. Carney’s world of rupture has been brought about by Donald Trump’s wrecking ball approach to the rules-based world order that has served us so well these past 80 years.  It’s played into the hands of the autocrats of Moscow, Beijing and elsewhere who want to replace that world order with a system far more attuned to their interests. Trump is obliging them.    Food. Fuel. Defence. These are Carney’s watchwords for a scary new world in which middle powers need to seek strategic autonomy when old alliances and multinational institutions no longer work. They should guide British policy too.  We need to be able to feed ourselves better. To be able to count on cheap, secure sources of energy. And to be able to defend ourselves from multiple and growing threats. At the moment the Starmer government is doing none of the above.  Instead it is lumbering business with the most expensive energy costs in the world and households with the second or third most expensive domestic energy in the world.  It is pursuing a multi-billion pound dash to net zero while adding only a few crumbs to the defence budget.  And it’s covering good farming land with solar panels.  It would be hard to think of a set of policies less designed to give us the strategic autonomy Carney thinks middle powers must strive for.  Britain needs a step change in its energy, food and defence policies. The billions earmarked for net zero need to be diverted to rearming the nation.  We need an energy policy that couples secure supplies with lower prices so that we can start to rebuild some of our heavy industry, essential to defence.  And we need a farm policy that champions growing food once more rather than prioritising various fashionable environmental wheezes.  None of this is likely to happen under the Starmer government. The PM has no vision or aptitude for such a strategy. His party is a prisoner to old 20th century ways of thinking, as is much of British politics on the left and right.  But unless the Carney challenge is recognised and policy changed in radical ways to meet it, we risk not only further economic decline in the rest of this decade but growing vulnerability to the evil intent of our enemies. And without America at our back to protect us.

@EsBigred @realpeteyb123 You do know we only just finished paying back the loans yea?. Your generosity : give me a break

It’s the fact that Europe took our generosity and now acts like petulant children and throws a fit everytime they don’t their way they annoying me about them. The steps we took to rebuild Europe were massive. They taxed the American population to rebuild their countries and they just expect more and more.

Greenland is not worth 700 billion dollars. Europe owes us far more than that. After World War II, America could have taken Europe by force. We had the power. We had the leverage. We chose to rebuild them rather than conquer them. We paid for their recovery. We guaranteed their security. We allowed them to prosper under an American shield while they spent decades lecturing us from the comfort we provided. That choice created modern Europe. (Not sure if this worked out well as they allow the barbarians in) Greenland should not be bought. They should offer it up as a gift. America can just take it, and there is nothing Europe can do. Denmark can keep looking closely into this matter, but nobody cares. We act like it matters, but it doesn’t. Stop being nice. Take Greenland. 🇺🇸

@c38160102 @realpeteyb123 And right now it’s the Chinese mining it all Sometimes you have to slap around your friends when they take you for granted

@StillDavy @westbury_neil @lynn_marwood @PaulEmbery @JeannieMolloy Nonsense

@westbury_neil @lynn_marwood @PaulEmbery @JeannieMolloy Because they are usually the ones who want to keep us tied to the kitchen sink

I am a committed trade unionist of 35 years standing. I am proud of everything the trade union movement has achieved throughout history. But its abandonment of women fighting to defend their sex-based rights makes me ashamed. Whenever there is a successful tribunal or court result for women - such as today, with the Darlington nurses - mainstream unions are nowhere to be seen. And invariably they lament the outcome. Women are being forced to rely on the Free Speech Union and Christian groups to fight their corner. It’s an utter disgrace.

So Keir Starmer welcomes an Egyptian Jew hater who supports terror and calls British people “dogs and monkeys”. Step right in, poor oppressed Briton-hating antisemite! But PM bans a white woman who supports Christian civilization. You can’t despise @Keir_Starmer enough.

@AllisonPearson @allisonPearson is it time to ban Islam?. Is it time to accept it's incompatible with british values and needs to be managed?. We all have Islamic, integrated friends but when an Islamic country won't fund its students in the UK because Islamic Brotherhood, is it time....?

I want to see Craig Guildford, Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, prosecuted for Misconduct in Public Office. Doing the bidding of one arrogant minority by smearing another makes him unfit to hold his position. Anyone else?

British man in Gaza, working for humanitarian org destroys the fake news, Hamas fuelled narratives that all the gullible lefties are using to march on our streets every week. It’s all lies. There’s no genocide, there’s no 10’s of thousands of kids dead. There’s no starvation.

Oh dear, @Channel4News accidentally broadcast the truth.

I love these men. Are you listening, Keir Starmer? These were once your voters. @Keir_Starmer

@MrHarryCole Trump just did what no British leader dared...again. Called out Starmer for torching Britain’s treasure chest. North Sea oil = OUR energy, OUR wealth, OUR future. Retweet this like your heating bill depends on it. Because it does.

Folks, I know it’s easy to say there’s no hunger in Gaza. We all know double the pre-war amount of aid has gone in during the war. We know there’s enough food. Distribution has always been the problem. I was in Gaza today. People are hungry. Don’t deny the hunger: blame Hamas.

@AbbyMartin Oh God he's a cunt

I asked Jeremy Corbyn if he felt vindicated after being relentlessly smeared for his pro-Palestine advocacy: "I have a house. I live a normal life. Somebody my age in Gaza doesn't even have water. It's about others, and it's our duty to use that privilege to support them."

If Palestinians have the ability to stay alive by simply not committing acts of terror against Israelis, then they are not facing a Genocide If Israelis have the ability to stay alive only because of tremendous defence systems, then they are facing a Genocide It’s that simple.

@MarkJohnsonTw @Jenny_1884 @ewangibbs How about we're more creative......instead of it being a binary choice the government cut red tape, encourage self employment, creativity and entrepreneurship so that jobs, profit and additional tax are created. Imagine.....

@Jenny_1884 @ewangibbs Only 4% of estates pay Inheritance Tax. A couple with a house bequeathed to kids get £1million before IHT, above that 40% tax. So a £2m estate you keep £1.6m No IHT, tell me which others taxes to increase or services to cut?

A large portion of people in Britain think that they should be able to pass on huge unearned wealth accrued through surging property prices without paying any tax on it. It's a massive problem for a society where property ownership has become the defining feature of wealth.

@MothinAli A definition is not required. What is required is that british values are adopted, the country is fully supported by everybody regardless of religion and people are encouraged to vote based on their own views not those of their "community ".

When the government refuses to engage with actual representative organisations of the Muslim community, we know what their agenda is. To create a definition so meaningless, it gives the impression of action without action.

Israel and Gaza Explained for Dummies. 🐔The way out is not another rocket. It is a mirror. Gaza needs Rwanda’s mind and soul. It is no longer a war zone. It is a factory of death controlled by the filthiest Islamists in modern history who burn their own people to hold power. Hamas Muslim Brotherhood Palestinian terrorists do not govern. They imprison. Every few years another war. Same slogans. Same martyrs. Same grief. Rockets are launched. Children are buried. Nothing truly changes. The ruins grow deeper. There have been no elections since 2006. No freedom of speech. Aid is hijacked. Schools become arsenals. And yet the world is told this is resistance. This is not resistance. This is ruin dressed in slogans. If you teach your children to die for you do not be surprised when there is no one left to live for them. Now look at Israel. Imperfect yes. Flawed certainly. But alive. Dynamic. Real. Surrounded by threats. Marked by trauma. Constantly under fire. But it builds. It votes. It debates. It creates. While Hamas terrorists dig tunnels Israel builds the future. If you plant seeds in sand something can grow. If you plant bombs do not expect roses. But the real lesson does not come from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. It comes from Kigali. In 1994 Rwanda was not just broken. It was bleeding from every street and every soul. Over 800000 people were slaughtered in just 100 days. Not by drones or armies but by neighbors with machetes. It was the apocalypse with no warning. Yet Rwanda chose something unimaginable. Not more war. Not more hate. But life. They did not erase history. They faced it. They built courts. They chose truth over vengeance. More than 120000 were tried in community hearings. Survivors faced murderers. And they forgave. Peace was not easy. It was terrifying. But they chose it. Pain does not disappear but it does not have to lead either. Now #Rwanda rises. #Kigali is clean. Modern. Safe. One of Africa’s fastest growing economies. Women hold most seats in parliament. Poverty is down. Tourism is up. Reconciliation is policy. All this from a nation that saw more blood in three months than Gaza has in three decades. The human soul can rise from ashes but not if it clings to fire. So what holds Gaza down? One word Hamas. A regime that glorifies death more than it fears failure. A leadership that hides underground while the people bury their children above. And still some applaud. Why. Because suffering has become a strategy. The more Gaza bleeds the louder Hamas is praised. The more children die the more international sympathy flows. But sympathy is not a plan. And martyrdom is not a future. You cannot fight for your people while using them as shields. Trauma exists on both sides. Israelis and Palestinians suffer. But there is a difference. One side builds hospitals. The other hides weapons in them. One side pleads for peace. The other (Hamas) chants for blood. One sends aid. The other weaponizes it. This is not about religion. This is not even about borders. It is about leadership. Rwanda chose to forgive. Israel chose to endure and progress. Hamas Muslim Brotherhood Palestinian terrorists chose destruction. If your leaders worship death do not ask why your future is buried. Now imagine something different. A Gaza that builds. Elections. Schools not tunnels. Books not bombs. Children learning Hebrew and Arabic. Trade flowing. Dialogue happening. Rwanda did it after genocide. Gaza has not even tried. It is not too late. So ask yourself. Do you want Gaza to become Rwanda or remain rubble. The past is real. The pain is deep. But the enemy is not only outside. It is inside the slogans. Inside the bunkers. Inside the blind loyalty to ruin. The way out is not another rocket. It is a mirror. Rwanda buried its dead and rose. Hamas Muslim Brotherhood Palestinian terrorists keep digging. It is time to stop.🐣
