Tommy Robinson has just walked out of court with a victory that is already being called one of the most explosive free-speech moments in Britain. The terrorism-related case against him — linked to his refusal to hand over his phone PIN to UK police — was thrown out after the judge ruled the stop unlawful and reportedly said Robinson had been targeted because of his political views. This was not just about a phone. This was about power, politics, journalism, and whether the state can treat someone like a national security threat simply because it dislikes what they say. Robinson says he refused to unlock his phone to protect journalistic sources. The state treated it as a terrorism matter. The court, according to Robinson’s reaction, saw something far more disturbing: political targeting. Then came the detail that made the story explode worldwide: **Elon Musk reportedly helped finance Robinson’s legal defense**, stepping in where others stayed silent and turning the case into a global battle over free expression. Robinson thanked Musk publicly, asking why it had taken an American businessman to fight for justice in Britain. “First of all, thank you, Elon Musk,” Robinson said, before adding that he was targeted because of his political beliefs and that counterterrorism police were allegedly used to get access to his phone as a journalist. For supporters, this ruling is a brutal warning to the establishment: if terrorism powers can be used against controversial speech today, who will be next tomorrow? Critics will still call Robinson divisive, but this case has forced a bigger question onto the table — do rights only apply to people the government likes?

A woman with bright purple hair came in to my work today. She would have blended with the TQIA community but I still complimented her on her choice of hair colour and pointed out the tone was one of the suffragette colours. She told me she has been teaching her daughter about the Suffragettes and other feminist women and then asked me if I knew women’s rights were under threat and had I heard of a case called Tickle versus Giggle? I said I had, that I found the fact Tickle won despicable, and she launched in to a 10 minute rant about self ID and her disgust with Labor and the Greens, who she used to vote for. I didn’t say anything, just let her vent. Then I invited her to our rally on the 4th of July. I work in a tiny satellite town an hour from Melbourne. If gender ideology has women riled up out here then TERFs have won in the court of public opinion. If Labor wants any chance of staying in government, or if the Libs or One Nation want a crack, they better give women our rights back!

🤔81-year-old grandmother Ava Estelle was absolutely furious when she learned that two thugs had raped her 18-year-old granddaughter. She tracked down the unsuspecting ex-convicts… and shot off their testicles. “This elderly woman spent a week hunting those men down, and when she found them, she took revenge in her own way,” said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, placed the pistol on the sergeant’s desk, and calmly said: “These bastards will never rape anyone again, by God.” Police say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and testicles when the enraged Ava opened fire with a 9mm pistol inside the hotel room where he and his former cellmate Stanley Thomas, 29, had been hiding. The vigilante grandmother also shot Thomas in the groin, though doctors reportedly managed to save his mutilated penis. “Thomas technically didn’t lose his manhood,” Detective Delp told reporters, “but according to the doctor I spoke with, he won’t be using it the way he used to.” “Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they’re just happy to be alive after what happened.” “Grandma Rambo” began hunting the attackers on August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was abducted and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding criminals. “When I saw the look on Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I would punish those bastards myself because I thought the law had become too soft,” recalled the former librarian. “I wasn’t afraid of them — because I have a gun, and I’ve been shooting all my life. And I’m no fool; I didn’t turn it in when the gun laws changed.” Using police sketches and her granddaughter Debbie’s description of the attackers, Ava spent seven days wandering through the district where the crime occurred until she spotted the rapists entering a cheap hotel where they were staying. “I knew it was them the moment I saw them, but I still took photos and went back to Debbie, and she said, ‘Damn right, that’s them,’” the grandmother recalled. “So I went back to that hotel, found their room, knocked on the door, and as soon as the tall one opened it, I shot him right between the legs — right where it would hurt the most. Then I walked in and shot the other one while he backed away begging me to spare him. After that, I went straight to the police station and turned myself in.” Now bewildered law enforcement officials are trying to decide what to do with the vigilante grandmother. “What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it’s hard to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison,” Delp said. “Especially when three million people in the city want to elect her mayor.”

🚨 Canada’s institutional capture is now complete. Since 2015 the Liberals have appointed: ⚖️ 740 of 1,000 federal judges 🏛️ 7 of 9 Supreme Court justices 📜 100 of 105 senators 📰 Fund 30% of every reporter’s salary in Canada And that’s just the foundation. Add to that: 📺 CBC: $1.4B annually to defend the Liberal narrative 🏦 Bank of Canada: Redefining recession in real time 📊 StatsCan: Counting Census workers as permanent jobs 📬 Senate: Hiding 240,000 democratic postcards in a warehouse 🌐 Bill C-8: MPs can delete you from the internet without a judge 🎙️ Carney on tape: Admitting central bankers bypassed voters on ESG They control the courts. They control the Senate. They control the Supreme Court. They control the media funding. They control the state broadcaster. Now they want to control the internet. Not one institution left standing independently. This is not democracy. This is managed decline with Canadian characteristics. And most Canadians are still waiting for CBC to tell them about it. 🇨🇦 Repost and Bookmark🔖 this post. 🇨🇦💀 #CdnPoli #Democracy #InstitutionalCapture #Carney #DefundCBC
Since coming to power in 2015 the Liberals have appointed over 740 of our roughly 1000 federal judges, 7 of the 9 Supreme Court judges, and 100 of the 105 senators. The government also pays roughly 30% of every reporter’s salary in Canada.

A reminder that there is no month officially designated as “Canadian Heritage Month” in Canada. But yes, let’s overlap “Canada Day” with “Somalian Heritage Month”. Our government is completely ass backwards with their priorities.

British progressives were scandalized last week when 5Pillars, a prominent Muslim news organization known for supporting the U.K. Green Party, published a homophobic “guide” on navigating Pride month. The incident laid bare the intellectual and moral incoherence of Islamo-left alliance, providing a useful case study for Canadians who feel anxious about Muslim-led intolerance.

We stand with Kathleen Lowrey, a University of Alberta professor and mother who, in Feb 2025, entered the women's change room at the Bonnie Doon pool in Edmonton, AB with her 14-year-old daughter and encountered a male wearing fetish gear. 🤮

Surely the city of Edmonton's lawyer calling a man in fetish gear a "transgendered individual" is transphobic hate.

Great point. In Canada, a teenager can "consent" to having their genitals cut off, but won't be allowed to use social media.
Canada allows minors into drug consumption sites, but would ban access to social media nationalpost.com/opinion/can…
