If you’re wondering how hard it is to get a rape conviction, it took six women, all of whom testified against him, to get the jury to believe he raped only one of them. Now imagine how hard it is when a woman on her own is trying to get justice against her rapist.

I don't want to shame any particular woman here, but publicly announcing that the #RussellBrand conviction must be wrong because you went home with him and he didn't rape you makes about as much sense as saying 'well, I left 25 Cromwell Street alive, so Fred West's innocent.'

🇨🇦 A Jewish bakery in Montreal was destroyed by 2 arson attacks in 2 days. A 2nd kosher restaurant was burned down months prior. 🇺🇸 Protesters planned a march targeting Jewish restaurants on the anniversary of Kristallnacht. 🇩🇪 A beloved Jewish bakery in Berlin closed after receiving so much hate. 🇮🇪 The only kosher cafe in Dublin received a campaign of hateful reviews. 🇫🇷 A kosher cafe in Paris was destroyed by vandals who broke in and sprayed it with acid. 🗽 An Ethiopian-Israeli-Jewish restaurant in Harlem is now open only for events due to receiving so much hate. 🇦🇺 A kosher bakery in Sydney closed its doors after the Bondi attack, unable to keep diners and staff safe. 🇵🇹 An Israeli restaurant in Lisbon closed after a never-ending stream of hate. 🇧🇪 An Israeli eatery in Antwerp closed after boycotts pushed it to bankruptcy. 🇬🇧 Acclaimed Israeli restaurant Miznon has faced protests in London telling it to shut down. All over the world, Jewish and Israeli cuisine is being wiped off the menu in the name of “justice.” But depriving the world of rugelach, kubeh, latkes, and sfenj won’t help anyone. It will only hurt Jews.

Fleet Street columnists were frequently acidic about Brand. We rang the alarms as loudly as was legally possible. Yet broadcasting bosses, normally so sensitive to bad publicity, ignnored us, I suppose because we were Rightwing.

Actually, it’s not ‘unprecedented’ for a publisher to stop publishing a writer and delete the backlist. It’s what Pan Macmillan planned to do to me - while continuing to publish Russell Brand of course.spectator.com/article/the-su…

So now we can say the thing that we couldn't say before: that Russell Brand's barrister's arguments on his client's behalf were utterly disgraceful and seemed rooted in the misogynistic past

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself. In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand. But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

Witnesses to Parliamentary Committees have absolute parliamentary immunity. If the House of Women and Equalities Committee called Ms Berki as a witness then she'd be unconstrained by the injunction. And, for the first time in eleven years, we could hear her side of the story.

Five weeks ago, the most serious riot in a Scottish prison in a decade occurred, and the Government kept it a secret. The riot involved 30 inmates and required officers from four other prisons to restore order. There was significant damage caused, and multiple prison officers were injured as a result. Yet, it was only because of the BBC that MSPs found out. Today I questioned the Cabinet Secretary on why the Government withheld this information from MSPs.

You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls. You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it. I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin. I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech. Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

The man who threatened to cut my throat, Madda Hussein, wasn't held after being found guilty and didn't turn up for sentencing yesterday. There's now a warrant out for his arrest.
SERIOUS UPDATE REGARDING DANNY TOMMO - Very concerning news from my dad has just come to light. His case for the incident where he went into the Dover Immigration Facility was due to be heard in Kent Magistrates tomorrow, this has now been moved to Westminster, less than 24 hours before the court hearing with one of the highest profile magistrate judges in the land overseeing the case. This causes a major safety risk for my father as he has been told he will not be returning to Winchester but will be held in Belmarsh My dad and my family have had numerous threats to life many of these are from people in that area of the country or people connected to Belmarsh prison itself and this unjustified legal manoeuvre has major implications and potential life threatening repercussions. I will update you as this situation progresses Thank you all Shae.

In November 2025, Sky News Arabia asked me for an interview. I rarely speak to Arabic-language media, but the producers kept insisting, telling me they admired my courage. So I made an exception. Obviously, the interviewer challenged my support for Israel. Her main complaint was that I never "criticize Israel." I asked her to be specific. She said Israel is behind all of our problems in the region. I told her that political Islam is behind our problems. Then I asked her: what would you do if you were in a park and heard someone scream "Allahu akbar"? I answered for her: "You'd run. Like I would." Islamists thrive where there is widespread ignorance, ignorance fed by poverty, and poverty caused by bad governance and corruption. That is the fertile ground they recruit from. Israel did not create it. When she ran out of arguments, she reached for the classic: Ben Gvir. Even when Ben Gvir "desecrates" Al-Aqsa, she said, I don't criticize Israel. I told her that as far as I'm concerned, no Jew desecrates Al-Aqsa. The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism. Jerusalem isn't named even once in the Quran. And I have gone up with Jews myself, so I've seen with my own eyes how they "storm" Al-Aqsa. What circulates in Arab media is lies. Jews enter through a separate gate. Israeli police have stopped them from bringing prayer books so as not to offend Muslims. They don't go into the mosque (why would they?). They pray at the site, and because that offends Muslims, it gets called "desecration." I am offended on behalf of the Jews. Many Jews in Israel also criticize Jews who pray on the Temple Mount. They give many reasons, but I've come to see that underneath it all, most of them are afraid. They don't want Jews praying there because they fear provoking Muslims. Even those who know the desecration claims are absurd would rather appease than confront. I grew up in the Arab world, and I know where appeasement leads: the bully grows bolder, and the bullied keep giving more away. I refuse to play that game. That is why more and more Israelis now call me "Ben Gvir." Sometimes it hides contempt. Mostly it hides fear. Needless to say, they never aired the interview.

Tories had 1st & 2nd Muslim cabinet ministers, along with 1st & 2nd ethnic minority leaders & PMs in Disraeli & Sunak. Now they have the first black woman leader who could be to their 4th female PM. This idea only the progressive left creates opportunity for every Briton is demonstrably bunkum.
Humza Yousaf, author of Under Fire, an important and painfully honest testament, could never have flourished in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, still less the Conservatives. As a proud Muslim and supporter of the Palestinian cause, that would have been out of the question. In the Scottish National Party, which embraced multiculturalism as its southern counterparts drifted towards coercive liberalism, he rose to the top. @OborneTweets: Humza Yousaf's private war newstatesman.com/culture/boo…

I can believe that Stewart didn’t know this man is blind. I can’t believe how far Stewart has fallen so that he thinks “JEWS ARE UGLY LOLOLOL” is good material
Jon Stewart makes fun of Haley Stevens' fiancé's appearance. Her fiancé, Jason Turkish, is legally blind. This isn't comedy. It's bullying. And it’s disgusting.

We'd like to thank Wilfred for this perfect encapsulation of grooming & gaslighting. Independent women who refuse to bend to men's sexual violence perversions are broken old "prudes". They are probably lesbians to boot & hate men. Cool or "down" girls like "to be taken hard" possibly with a hand on the neck. If you want to be a cool girl, says Wilf, you will submit to him & his kind. Young, vulnerable women get this message. They don't want to seem broken or frigid, they want to be liked. Be a young "prude" who resists being hurt in the bedroom and you'll end up like those shrivelled, joyless hags who want to spoil sexual fun. If you submit the men will "support" you - ie shag you. If you resist, you are only good for social isolation ("get thee to a nunnery"). It's the same way men have always tried to make cracks in feminism. Tell the young girls that no one will fancy or love them if they listen to the older, more experienced women. This is, of course, pure Tate. The wannabe "nice" men in the Greens & Lib Dems (hello, James and Stephen) think they are granting women "autonomy". They aren't. They are part of the problem.

The Washington Human Rights Commission found an all-nude Korean women's spa in violation of its gender identity policy for refusing entry to an untransitioned man with an intact penis who claims to be a woman, pictured below. The Commission compelled the erasure of the Spa's "biological women only" policy (it actually did allow men who had removed their genitals while claiming to be women) and forced the owners to undergo DEI training. The Olympus Spa sued for violation of its First Amendment Rights and lost at both the district and appellate levels. On the cusp of a response to the spa's request seeking cert at SCOTUS, the Human Rights Commission has made a sudden about face, proposing to amend the administrative code implementing the state's human rights law to permit businesses for which nudity is compulsory to keep certain genitals out. This would settle the specific dispute between the Spa and the Commission but not necessarily end the case. SCOTUS could take the case and end up ruling that the Commission violated the Spa's Constitutional rights in a ways that could affect other nudity-compulsory business or find that genital prohibitions don't violate gender identity protections. The case does not threaten the state's gender identity protections as a whole, which the Commission issued a statement that it remained committed to preserving, but the emergency rule change appears to be an attempt to avoid the possibility of a constitutional finding that it violated the Spa's First Amendment Rights.
EXCLUSIVE: The Washington Human Rights Commission voted to amend state code so businesses that "require nudity as a central purpose...may maintain a rule that entry to spaces where nudity is required be based on genital characteristics." The commission did this on an emergency basis "to address pending litigation," likely from the lawsuits regarding single gender spas The commission added, "We are very committed to protecting transgender rights" The attorney general's office must now file the rule change. Right now, the law still says "all entities shall allow individuals the use of facilities consistent with the person's gender expression or identity," including locker rooms.

Avi Shlaim, an Oxford professor, says Israel “made it impossible” for Jews to keep living in Baghdad. My mother’s family is from Baghdad. Here is what he left out: Jewish life under Arab rule was never equal. For centuries Jews lived as dhimmis, a “protected” minority, and the protection came with rules: • A Jew could not testify against a Muslim in court. • A synagogue could not stand taller than a mosque. • Jews could not ride horses or carry weapons. • Jews paid a special tax for the right to exist. • Jews wore identifying marks on their clothes, a thousand years before the Nazis. Then in June 1941 a mob in Baghdad killed almost 200 Jews in two days. My grandmother hid in the back of a café while a man shot a mother’s seven children in front of her. Israel did not exist yet. In 1948 Iraq made Zionism a crime punishable by death. In 1950 it let Jews leave only if they gave up their citizenship. In 1951 it froze their bank accounts and took their homes. My grandparents arrived in Israel that year with nothing. In 1969 it hanged nine Jews in a public square and invited crowds to celebrate. None of that was Israel. That was Iraq, doing it to its own citizens. Shlaim knows all of this. He is one voice in a bigger project, and the project has a purpose. If you can convince people that Jews lived happily in Arab lands until Zionism, then 850,000 Jewish refugees stop being refugees. They become people who left for no reason. The Arab governments that robbed and expelled them get a clean record. And Israel, a country where most Jews come from the Middle East, can be sold as a European colony that has no business existing there. Even though ALL JEWS are indigenous to this land, no matter where in the diaspora we lived. That is the point of the trend. Erase the Mizrahi story and there is only one refugee story left in the region, and only one side with a grievance. It takes a Jew with an Oxford title to make that erasure respectable. There is a market for it, and he is not the only one selling. Share this with someone who has never heard the word Farhud.
