This is the same judge (Jeremy Johnson) that judged against me in the most biased manner possible in the Douglas Murray case. This man needs to be immediately investigated by the public .

The former President of the ICJ just destroyed the “Israel is committing genocide” lie.
Joan Donoghue (who presided over the South Africa v. Israel case) on Hardtalk:
“It didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible… The shorthand that often appears… isn’t what the court decided.”
The Court only said Palestinians have plausible rights to be protected from genocide. It made no finding that Israel was plausibly committing genocide.
Watch her say it herself. The media and activists have been misrepresenting this and lying for 18 months.

Economic illiteracy from a mere politics grad
This is the data you need to reckon with.
Before 2016 🇬🇧 was ahead of most G7 peers on business investment. Growth was ~6% a year 2010-2016, in line with the G7 average.
Look at the nine quarters before the referendum: 🇬🇧 non-dwellings investment 4.0%. G7 average: 3.9%.
However in the nine quarters after: 🇬🇧 <2%. Every other G7 economy: 6% .
By 2024, 🇬🇧 whole economy investment was 17.8% of GDP — lowest in the G7.
I’ve already shared this.

This street survived 940 years because it was designed as an open-air refrigerator. And every "charming" feature you're looking at was a solution to one problem: keeping raw meat from spoiling before refrigeration existed.
"Shambles" comes from "fleshammels," the Anglo-Saxon word for flesh-shelves. This was York's butcher district. The buildings lean inward at the upper floors, nearly touching overhead, because that creates permanent shade. Direct sunlight on a hanging carcass in summer meant spoiled inventory in hours. The jettied upper stories blocked the sun all day while the narrow gap between rooftops funneled cool air through the street at ground level.
That cobblestone strip running down the center of the road looks quaint in photos. Butchers used it as a drainage channel to wash away blood and animal offal twice a week. The raised pavements on either side kept pedestrians above the runoff.
Meat hooks are still visible on some shop fronts. The wide windowsills where butchers displayed fresh cuts are still there. The rear of each building connected to a private slaughterhouse. By 1885, 31 butcher shops operated along a street that measures 120 meters. The entire supply chain from slaughter to sale to waste disposal was engineered into a single city block.
Google's Street Team voted it the most picturesque street in Britain in 2010. The Harry Potter film producers used it as inspiration for Diagon Alley. For 800 of its 940 years, it was ankle-deep in animal blood twice a week.
The architecture survived because it worked. Function outlasts aesthetics by centuries.

This is the best preserved medieval street in Europe.
Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, The Shambles in York, England has had shops trading on it for nearly a thousand years. It's older than the Crusades.

This is the psychedelic clown arguing that Chagos was 4D state craft
He picked up economics for dummies a fortnight ago and now styles himself an expert
▶️ You will see Brexiteers cling to the argument that because the 🇬🇧 grew recently at a similar rate to 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 there is no Brexit damage.
▶️ But economists at @GoldmanSachs, @nberpubs and others are not measuring the outcome but rather modelling what 🇬🇧 itself would have achieved had it not done Brexit: i.e. no new trade barriers and no new red tape with our larges market.
▶️ Every serious organisation that has modelled this has found a significant and growing Brexit drag on where the 🇬🇧 economy like have been otherwise.
▶️ What they are saying is we’ve weakened the 🇬🇧 economy to be like 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 when we should be growing much faster.
▶️ This is what @nberpubs found in its 2025 paper — “The Economic Impact of Brexit” by Bloom, Bunn, Mizen, Smietanka & Thwaites:
1️⃣ “By 2025, Brexit had reduced 🇬🇧 GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time”
2️⃣ “Investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%”
3️⃣ “Employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%”
4️⃣ “These forecasts were accurate over a 5-year horizon, but they underestimated the impact over a decade”
“These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process.”
▶️ How much has this cost us by these calculations? Some £180–240 billion.

Why would anyone acting in good faith take an OBR guess as read?
If we take the OBR’s 4% hit to our economy as a floor we can deduce Brexit has added roughly £50-80bn in debt interest payments. That’s roughly £8-13bn a year by the end of this Parliament. Precious little has done as much as Brexit to worsen our fiscal policy.

This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda.
Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948:
“Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained.
The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”
They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.”
They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.”
Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews.
The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.

The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.”
It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster.
He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state.
Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews.
The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later.
It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose.
They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt.
That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.

We've known this for over a year, but were not allowed to say it until today.
Our loved ones convicted of criminal damage in Elbit's weapons factory in Filton could be SENTENCED AS TERRORISTS.
The jury who convicted them had no idea.

The Prime Minister is a national distraction.
Millions of people are struggling to pay the bills, but Boris Johnson and his government are spending the whole time mopping up their own rule-breaking, sleaze and deceit.
He’s got to go.

There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer.
In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll.
We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.
