#DouglasMurray is absolutely spot on. The @UKLabour should be ashamed of how they’ve handled these continual #ProPalestinian #ProHamas protests - they’re #AntiSemitic & it makes the #JewishCitizens of #Britain feel unsafe & threatened. I for one quit my job in #London #City.
This is still one of the best speeches by the great Douglas Murray: "If you stand in Britain with a Hamas flag, you should not be allowed to be free in Britain. You should be arrested. You should be deported."

Wetherspoons corrects the Daily @MailOnline, poppies are not banned and are even sold in the chain of pubs. Last year they raised £55,867.00 for the Royal British 🇬🇧 Legion.

Good news 🗞️ An independent review in the murder of Henry Novak has been announced. “The review will investigate what was known about Digwa, "including any missed opportunities to intervene", the Nowak family's experience of the justice system "and whether they were supported in the manner they should have been once the Independent Office for Police Conduct has concluded its investigation into the police response", as well as the actions of the police and the IOPC.”

Imagine being a little boy of primary school age in a prestigious stage school. On a school day morning your Mum drives you and your baby sister to Central London because you have an acting audition. You all arrive late, your mum parks where she shouldn't and risks getting a ticket or her car towed away, just so that you, the budding star, can hopefully still have your audition, eventhough you arrived too late for it. Despite this, the adult team at the casting are very supportive to you and your Mum, who apologises profusely for her lateness. She explains how she's risked getting her car towed by parking illegally, just so that you can hopefully have an audition. The casting team warmly welcome all three of you and get you all a cooked, hearty breakfast. You have your audition and find out later on that you've got the part. You're an angelic looking little blonde lad who is going to be on telly, wow! The whole experience of that audition day was a fairytale experience for you. And it just got even better, you won! Your Mum is over the moon delighted and proud. Your Mum's car did get towed, baby sister was in her arms crying. Your Mum, sister and you get to the car pound and she pays the £200 ish to get the car back. It doesn't matter though as it was all done for you and your big acting chance. The glamorous London trip on a primary school day, the casting team faffing around you and your family, the adoration of you and your audition success by everyone there. Now fast forward about 15-16 years. You live alone many miles away from your family where barely anyone knows you by name. Your limited child acting did not follow you into adulthood. You're now a slight build guy in your very early twenties. People walk past you in the street without giving you a passing glance. You try to big yourself up in admiration and starure by pounding it at the gym. Money is very tight but no worries, because you were nearly famous once as a small child. You just have to keep pushing to get back up there with strangers faffing over you again. But alas nothing materialises on that score, and this plays havoc with your confidence. You then have an idea. You'll do what other YouTubers did to get the masses admiring them, except you know you'll only have a chance of succeeding in this if you do that one, ultimately daring stunt that goes viral globally. You decide to go alone to the local zoo and you are going to scale the wall then jump into the tigers enclosure. Your Mum even has an old photo of a man hugging one on her Facebook account. She's a free spirit, who who believes that all species can get along in each others presence physically just fine, so long as we believe it's possible. This could even force that well run zoo into bankruptcy and the animals in it to face a very uncertain future. But that doesn't matter because you want to be massively famous and admired. Tragedy strikes and your life is over in less than five minutes. You thought you could simply shout at the tiger, point your finger at it and tell it to stop. After all, everyone should obey you. The tiger doesn't know how important you think you should be and did what tigers do. That's the scenario of what happened to William Chapman as I see it, having read his mother's old blog of his London audition day and how his life ended.

I’ve just been released on bail, and the case they’re trying to bring against me is an absolutely shocking attack by the establishment. First of all, I’m banned from central London, including Westminster, and I’m also prohibited from attending or reporting on any Gen Z-style protests taking place in the UK. This is absolutely absurd and, in my view, nothing more than an attempt by the establishment to stop me from doing my work. Secondly, during my interview, they were unable to provide any witnesses. Nobody involved in the Gen Z protests came forward with a statement or any evidence against me, yet they’re still attempting to pursue a case. My duty solicitor did little to challenge the conditions imposed on me and didn’t seem particularly interested in contesting them. More footage of what happened today will be coming out soon. The whole situation was absolutely insane.

I want to thank every single one of you for your support. It means more to me than you will ever know.
Heavenly Father, We lift Tommy before You as he prepares to face another court hearing. Draw close to him in the waiting, in the courtroom, and in the quiet moments when uncertainty is hardest to carry. You know the burdens he bears, the concerns he keeps to himself, and the strength he needs for the days ahead. Help him to know that he is neither forgotten nor alone. Give him a clear mind, a steady heart and the courage to face each moment with dignity. When he is weary, renew his strength. When he is anxious, quiet his thoughts. Surround him with people whose counsel is wise, whose friendship is faithful and whose care asks nothing in return. Lord, we ask for justice that is honest, impartial and free from political pressure. Let the evidence be examined carefully, his defence be heard fully, and every decision be guided by truth. Where there is injustice, bring it into the light. Where power is misused, give people the courage to challenge it. Let neither prejudice nor public hostility stand in the way of a fair hearing. Grant his legal team wisdom, diligence and clarity. Give everyone entrusted with this case the integrity to fulfil their responsibilities faithfully, remembering the human lives affected by their decisions. Protect the freedoms of conscience and expression, and help us all to exercise them with honesty and responsibility. Place Your protection over Tommy and those he loves. Keep them safe from harm, threats and intimidation. Hold his children and family close in Your care. Ease the strain of waiting and the pain of circumstances they cannot control. Through the kindness and practical help of others, remind them that they do not carry this burden alone. Lord Jesus, sustain Tommy’s faith through this uncertainty. Keep bitterness from taking root, and preserve his capacity for compassion. Give him the humility to seek Your guidance, the strength to act with integrity, and the grace to hold firmly to his convictions without surrendering his heart to hatred. Guide those who stand beside him. Let their support bring comfort, their words remain truthful and their actions remain peaceful. Teach us to seek justice with determination and to remember mercy, even when emotions run high. Father, we ask for truth to prevail, for any injustice to be put right, and for relief and peace for Tommy and his family. As he walks into that courtroom, let him carry the assurance of Your presence. Give him grace for each hour, hope for the future, and rest when the day is done. In the name of Jesus Christ, our refuge and our strength. Amen.

I’m with Alex! Let the establishment go fight the war! Or even better send all the fighting aged illegal men to fight for us. They can earn their keep. After all, the government prioritises their well being over our children. You reap why you sow!

The BBC has agreed to pay £400,000 to an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who alleged she was subjected to antisemitism and pushed out of the corporation after October 7. Lucie Kon, 57, spent 22 years at the BBC and worked on programmes including Panorama, Today, BBC Breakfast and Storyville. Films she commissioned or helped produce won an Oscar, Emmy and Bafta. Kon says her treatment changed dramatically after the Hamas attacks. She alleges colleagues described Zionists like her as “evil”, argued that Israel should be called terrorist if Hamas was, and told her to consider what had driven Hamas to carry out the massacre. When she proposed a documentary about October 7, Kon says she was told she was “too partial” to oversee it because she was Jewish. She subsequently filed a formal grievance, but a BBC investigation rejected her complaint. Kon says she was then kept away from work for months. During a restructuring, her position was made redundant and she failed to secure the similar role replacing it. She launched unfair-dismissal proceedings. The BBC has now agreed substantial compensation, reported as £400,000, without admitting liability or accepting that Kon suffered antisemitism. Kon says Jewish employees still at the corporation continue to face hostility and feel unable to identify openly as Jewish or Zionist.

If it’s a “Blanket” decision as he is saying, and I’ve seen it at another pub as well then I’d suggest a blanket boycott of Weatherspoons and hit Tim Martin and other shareholders where it really hurts….in the pocket. This is the ONLY way. Mass boycotts of businesses, products and owners. Make them all go skint.
VETERANS wearing a Poppy are BANNED from from Wetherspoons WOW. Manager of Gosport Wetherspoons states it’s ‘Company policy’ to not allow anyone in with a Remembrance Poppy on as it ‘could be political’ I can’t believe what I just heard from our nations biggest pub chain. Veterans wearing a poppy are banned from Wetherspoons.

‼️ BREAKING NEWS ‼️ Ashlea Simon has been arrested by Greater Manchester Police after landing at Manchester airport from a family holiday.

Our good friend and colleague @Guramitsingh01 was invited by Rhiannon Whyte's family to report on and speak at an event in Telford to raise awareness of migrant crime. Rhiannon Whyte was murdered by an illegal rubber dinghy Sudanese migrant. Her killer Deng Chol Majek stabbed her 23 times with a screwdriver in a frenzied unprovoked attack leaving her to bleed out and die on a station platform. After murdering Rhiannon in cold blood, he left the murder scene, went to the shop to buy alcohol, walked back to the migrant hotel he was housed in and proceeded to dance and 'have a good time'. Enough is enough. #RhiannonsLaw #StopTheBoats

Hard left anti semites are commenting on videos about a community cafe in Dover. Not one of them has the guts to use their real name. It’s sad to see such division and hatred from the left.

Nothing makes sense in this country anymore. An invader can get a job in the NHS & then start pushing Palestinian propaganda using our own poppy. But I, an English man born in this country who worked for the NHS for 16 years, can’t show support & want justice for grooming gang victims. The NHS deems that as "far-right"

I am not a religious man but I 100% recognise this is a Christian country and must remain that way. With that context what you see in these videos should not be acceptable and should be banned. Religion should largely be a private matter and should not be pushed or inflicted on other people and absolutely not forced down an entire communities throats as it is 5 times a day here. I realise this will cause controversy an upset but if it was up to me I would ban this tomorrow for the entire country…and that would just be the start.
