Agree completely. I don’t know the details of the case but I do know he was a scuzzy lothario. Women definitely wanted to sleep with him, and often did before they thought properly about how other people would know they had and how that means they would be perceived afterwards. His reputation was thoroughly known by all (that is part of the lothario dynamic - it was all out there in public). I think many had moments they didn’t enjoy. But no woman has a right to always enjoy sex and as soon as they don’t they should stop and leave. If they weren’t firm and could have done that, but didn’t, it isn’t rape. It is them using their own agency, making a bad decision, for which they are responsible.
Self image is a powerful thing and many people choose to deceive themselves and others in order to protect it in their own minds eye. They want to be able to continue to respect themselves when they look in the mirror and decide the thing they chose to do but didn’t enjoy needs to be recast as rape so their agency in the matter is removed and they can still look in the mirror and respect themselves. If they continue to text him and chat with him after the supposed “rape” in my book, no matter what they say it simply wasn’t rape.

I have introduced a bill to introduce compulsory labelling of halal and kosher meat.
Consumers have a right to know what they are eating. Yet every day people are consuming halal and kosher meat without knowing it - that’s meat where the animal has its throat slit and often is not stunned before slaughter.
At its heart, this is a straightforward proposal built on consumer choice, animal welfare and transparency. It is not about banning halal or kosher meat but about the compulsory labelling of it, which is currently only voluntary, so as to ensure consumers know what they are buying.
What began as a limited religious exemption has become an increasingly significant part of meat production.
Laura Loomer is the first X account I followed who I then blocked for no reason in particular other than that her takes just seemed thoroughly incinsere and she kept turning up in my feed and I found her increasingly annoying.
Application of the Limited Hangout technique! Limited hangout is a recognised and highly effective PR technique. I don't think it's power and action are appreciated enough, though I'm sure you are aware of it Nick, but for any who aren't, here goes:.
There is a conscious awareness maximum where the public can only expect the authorities to act on items at the top of the list. We all understand how this works. When busy on a stressful loosely structured project, if an item is number three on a todo list and the list is dynamically managed, it will often never get done because new items are always inserted above it. The Limited Hangouts PR technique exploits this kind of threshold problem. It exploits the fact the threshold for public demand stimulating action on any given topic is extremely high. Release information in a drip, drip fashion and you ensure a topic remains below the point where the demand for action is so incipient it must be taken.
It has been used incredibly effectively to manage many topics, but perhaps the clearest two are the Epstein list and Covid vaccine harms.
It is frustrating because:
A) It works incredibly well
B) It can be used to condition the unaware public so they don't pause to recognise how their views have changed over time.
One of the more infuriating things I have noticed of late is how one of my friends who was totally against any criticism of the Covid vaccines has shifted position over time. So at various points he has picked-up new understanding and now says:
- Nobody ever thought it stopped transmission (yet he earlier he was saying precisely that it did)
- It has been known to cause myocarditis for some time (he passed a threshold where this suddenly became somehow a backdated truth that he now says everyone always knew - when in reality his passing this threshold was quite recent)
- The blood clots he now accepts are real, but here he knows he was calling them a conspiracy theory, so while he acknowledges them, he simply won't talk about them and nor will he talk about what that means for his general view of if the vaccine is safe and effective.
- Same for SV40 and he now concedes there is an unclear relation to rising cancer rates (this too I can't talk about in detail with him), where before it was a conspiracy theory to say the Covid vaccines contribute to cancer.
So the Limited Hangout also serves him. It means he can't be challenged and he doesn't have to face up to a moment of sudden realisation. It denies me the large enough news topic item such that I can "legitimately" raise the topic with him again as a focussed point of discussion. And this also applies to the many many other forms of harm. I can't discuss them with him because we have discussed harms before as they dripped out and now he can hold that he is bored of the subject.
If, after the vaccine was released, he had been hit by all the above truths within a day, he, like everyone else, he would have been calling for an enquiry into the disaster and loss of life.

The strategy has always been one of distraction targeting the people providing an excuse to attach a firehose sized siphon to the pockets of taxpayers and expropriate funds. Putin and, indeed, Zelensky, are equally prepared to go along with this and it appears to me, pretty much all the world leaders cooperate in the endeavour in a fashion akin to how supermarkets collude on pricing where the executives never even having to meet to agree their collusion.
The CIA, if you look at their history, are tightly integrated with the Mafia (see Whitney Webb's forensically researched book "One Country Under Blackmail") and are deeply involved in setting up deeply profitable opportunities relating to various regime change operations or "colour revolutions" around the world.
Mike Benze has done an excellent job of exposing the extent to which USAID is a vehicle of political control and destabilisation, and was much involved in the 2014 EuroMaiden Coup. Elon Musk entering his government role, was extremely naive and took a businessman's zest into the process of publishing fund dispersal through his DOGE audits which if they continued would have shown the extent to which government spending was being misdirected and could be reigned in (and he was focussing heavily on USAID - something the CIA could not abide him doing).
The fraud DOGE was uncovering was on a scale most people can scarcely believe. The audits were being published on the web, and anyone could look for themselves. But Musk ran full square into the reality that those who are truly in charge of our nations have not wanted such audits or control for a very long time (Liz Truss was a victim of similar people).
Musk's DOGE was discredited by continuity figures attached to the very administration he was working for. Musk even said, quite publicly, on the Joe Rogan podcast that he couldn't say too much about the precise mechanism or trick used to commit the fraud because "they" would kill him. Who "they" are has never explored. Certainly the media you work for roundly ignore such pronouncements and resolutely fail to ask the truly interesting questions. But you can be sure "they" are figures deeply invested in the preservation of the firehose siphon arrangement. So Musk headbutted with the corrupt money minting system (and to a large extent we are quite literally speaking of minting money) which requires ever expanding government borrowing and excuses to spend the money, with businesses that are able to exploit the international instability (Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, General Dynamics, Boeing etc., but they are in fact effectively owned by Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street - which control over 30 trillion in assets, have heavily invested in Ukraine and have most of the contracts for the nations regeneration).
So quite inevitably Musk fell out with Trump in a very public way. He was allowed back into the fold only once he stopped pursuing DOGE and talking publicly about the massive extent of government fraud. We are supposed to believe it just went away and believe the various thin cover stories stating he was mistaken and DOGE had got it wrong and that, fun fact, he was confused, got it wrong and there was very little fraud.
That is a brief and wide ranging sketch of why this has gone on for 30 years.

They’re undermining your rights under the cover of things you don’t like (or are afraid to defend). Russel Brand, extreme pornography, rape, child abuse, illegal immigration, “foreign agents”.
Whatever.
Those are means, eroding the right to privacy, right to a fair trial, presumption of innocence, and all other mechanisms designed to protect the individual from the state that have been in place so long now we take them for granted, and assume nothing can take them away.
But they are being taken away, and the people doing the taking are relying on your bias, shame or disgust to let them get away with it.
Pretty much exactly how I taught myself to iron my shirt. But he is missing a major important point. Turn it inside out first to avoid after ironing repeatedly, creating shiny patches on the outside of the shirt. If you don't do this, you will have to buy a new shirt far sooner than if you do!

The British state still purports to be the government of a cohesive nation. But the truth is that more and more it resembles an imperial regime ruling over competing peoples, say David Betz and Michael Rainsborough. dailysceptic.org/2026/11/06/…

Under a Restore Britain Government, there will be no 'Home Office Islamic Network' within the department.

In January the UK revoked my ETA days after I criticised Keir Starmer, declaring me “not conducive to the public good.”
I’ve now been invited by MP @RupertLowe10 to come speak at a @RestoreBritain and the Home Office is stalling my visa application, effectively denying me entry again.
France just banned our @SaveEuropeAct cofounder @MartinSellner_ indefinitely as a “genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat” to public order. Same thing: no conviction, no trial.
This is a dangerous trend of two-tier enforcement: restricting the movement of law-abiding European patriots who criticize mass migration, while third-world migrants enter, claim benefits, and even gain citizenship.
The British public deserves to know about it, and the only politician prepared to do something about it is Rupert Lowe.
Jamie thinks The Midwestern Doctor is controlled opposition and denigrates the use of DMSO for treating conditions the same as he is suggesting Ivermectin is another “play” by the pharmaceutical industry.
Yet (due to the Midwestern Doctors articles) I recommended DMSO to a friend of mine who is suffering COPD and had reached the point of being unable to do everyday tasks. She has recovered, her COPD is massively in retreat, and she has her joi-de-vivre back. Gut feel tells me using chemicals and solvents should be bad and they shouldn’t be needed (so intuitively I would agree with Jamie), yet the evidence before my eyes is that this otherwise incurable condition is improving for my friend. If you were to ask her, my friend wouldn’t give a crap if there are other effects further down the line (which so far there aren’t any that are obvious) - her life had become hell. COPD was killing her.
“Mainstream” doctors will tell you there there is no treatment that will reverse COPD and that it is a one-way street.
I find it difficult to see how Midwestern doctor, who is recommending a cheap unpatentable and readily available compound can therefore be designated “controlled opposition.”
I get the wider argument that suggesting such chemicals are a daily choice for many conditions might be a pharmaceutical industry “play” giving rise to other conditions that require treatments. Be that as it may, I will keep saying this about DMSO and COPD because in the case of my friend, it has been a massive success story. She was dying but now she is enjoying life again and IMO anyone who suffers COPD should know about this treatment.
When I have raised this case with Jamie he brushes it off. Again I appreciate the wider argument, but it is unscientific to ignore evidence and IMO Jamie should acknowledge this kind of case (or say he doesn’t believe me, or at least state his position on it / acknowledge the exceptions to his argument). In the case of COPD people’s lives are at stake.

There are far too many people working within the Home Office who are more concerned about promoting the interests of migrants than defending the interests of the British people.
This is a real problem.
I like Bret Weinstein, but I sense he doesn't believe what he has written here regarding Charlie Kirk. He knows it wasn't for "unrelated" reasons. I think he knows, but understandably it conflicts with what he wants to believe.
Trump is a political genius. He accomplished the impossible, defeating BOTH duopoly parties. Then, this political genius, for no obvious reason, torched his presidency and legacy over a war the public didn’t want. That’s surprising. Why on Earth would he do that?
Maybe the world looked very different from inside the Truman Show bubble constructed around him. After rapid success in Venezuela and “the 12 Day War” he may have been lead to believe he had the power to fix Iran, cheaply and quickly, and walk away a hero. That would explain it. But it would have required those opposed to the plan, people who knew better and were willing to say so, to be removed from his inner circle.
Tucker could be shoved aside, but Charlie was a problem. Shoving Charlie out would have turned TPUSA into a powerful adversary. Bad move. But fate took care of that when Tyler Robinson, acting alone, killed Charlie for unrelated reasons. And here we are, Trump’s insurgency dead at midterms with the race-bating Marxists headed back to power.
What will happen is, on gaining power, Rupert will discover the extent to which the asset managers dictate joined up policy across nations, from war, to fertiliser tax, to inheritance tax applied to farmers farms, all driving ownership into their grubby hands. He will come under immense pressure. He will be told how cost reduction measures will deflate the economy and create a circle recessionary circle. How he has to keep feeding the beast or the UK banking sector will collapse on his watch. The average person, and possibly Rupert himself doesn't have a clue how much pressure will be excepted, quite possible beyond the bounds of legality too.
Soaring fertiliser costs are yet ANOTHER reason why the war in Iran has hit British families in the pocket. People understand that war in the Middle East hikes up petrol and diesel prices, driving inflation. We all know that.
Do not underestimate what it does to the cost of producing our food. Speaking as a farmer, it has ROCKETED.
Your food shop is SO much more expensive because of what has happened in Iran.
Modern farming depends on fertiliser. Much of that fertiliser depends on natural gas to manufacture - disrupt energy supplies and international shipping, and fertiliser prices rise. Quickly and brutally.
That means British farmers paying more to grow wheat, barley, potatoes and vegetables.
More to produce the crops that feed our livestock.
Everything costs more for us.
More expensive fertiliser means more expensive farming. More expensive farming means more expensive food.
And who pays? You. Your family. Your friends.
Businesses you use.
What does that do? Drive inflation, especially along with fuel costs soaring.
This is what the politicians who enthusiastically cheered on another Middle Eastern war apparently entirely failed to consider - Reform and the Tories were happy to drop the bombs but thought nothing of what would come next.
Restore Britain opposed this war from day one, because it was INCREDIBLY clear that throwing more bombs around the Middle East was going to disrupt everything.
Sadly, that region is of massive importance.
British farmers need affordable fertiliser. British families need affordable food. Neither needs another catastrophic foreign war.
Any farmer looking at their fertiliser costs over the last 12 months will agree with me - with more taxes to come, and the lunacy of Net Zero meaning our power is the most expensive in the world while we sit on abundant supplies.
Expensive fertiliser and expensive fuel directly from bombing Iran have delivered the soaring cost of living for working British men and women.
Restore Britain will slash the tax on fertiliser and produce it in OUR country.
Most importantly? No more pointless foreign wars.
The left column could be titled "noise to string along the electorate" the right column "globalist puppets held to account"
And everyone discusses politics like there is something to discuss and vote for. That's the wrong discussion.
The right discussion:
- The banking system
- Fiat money
- Schemes to reduce the value of taxpayer investments
- Schemes for siphoning money from taxpayers
- Concentration of trillions of dollars of shareholder voting power in frighteningly few hands
- The difference between Capitalism and Corporatism
- Policies to control the population
- High level omertà

He didn't mortgage his presidency. He was always working for the mortgage company and mortgaged the MAGA voters. You've gotta hand it to him, he's a genius at political marketing. When Elon Musk was taking DOGE seriously and actually trying to reign in spending, Trump was doing the exact opposite, hiking up expenditure, ensuring the money siphon attached to taxpayer pockets and government credit funds continued pumping to the max. This process that has become so obvious to so many curtesy of Covid has, of course, ensured globalist interests continued to be served at full pumping throttle. He slapped a brilliant marketing label on it - his "Big Beautiful Bill" - immediately blinding the credulous and bewitched MAGA base to what had just happened; but fell out with Musk as a consequence. Musk, actually thinking as a businessman, naive to how government has been. working for many years, slowly learned how the system really works and how in reality there is zero appetite for reigning in the out of control fiat currency Ponzi scheme. The out of control Ponzi scheme and the globalist control lines reaching the end game always demand more, so war with Iran. Musk discovering how much money there is in the country asset stripping business including for his Starling and Space X, has slowly apparently at first reluctantly been talked round and brought into the fold, replete with the obligatory black eye.
