Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write. This is the article: volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v/2…

In the 1980's most people in Britain - encouraged by the Thatcher government- thought being gay was morally wrong. In 1946 37% of Germans still thought "the extermination of Jews was necessary for the survival of Germany". Popular support doesn't mean you're not a fascist

Almost exactly 20 years ago Rupert Lowe was forced out of Southampton FC by fans utterly pissed off at his underachievements. Three years later his company that owned the club went into administration.
If we’d had Rupert Lowe as prime minister 20 years ago, Britain would be the most prosperous country in the world.

How much do personal approval ratings matter when it’s not a two-party system? In Makerfield we found: ZERO Tory posters ZERO Tory garden stakes ZERO Tory canvassers ZERO people saying they’ll vote Tory.
🚨 Latest Opinium @ObserverUK poll 🚨 Kemi Badenoch's approval rating has risen to net -4 (her joint highest rating since becoming leader) 🌳 Badenoch -4 🔶 Davey -4 ➡️ Farage -19 🌍 Polanski -19 🌹 Starmer -42

Le 6 juin 1944, 177 Français débarquent en Normandie. Ce sont les seuls. Sur les cinq plages du Débarquement, ils sont la seule unité française à fouler le sable ce jour-là. On les appelle le commando Kieffer. À leur tête, Philippe Kieffer. Avant la guerre, ce n'était pas un soldat. C'était un banquier, la cinquantaine approchant, une vie tranquille. La défaite de 1940 a tout balayé. Il rejoint Londres et exige une chose : que des Français débarquent sur leur propre sol. Le matin du Jour J, ils touchent Sword Beach sous le feu. Dix des leurs tombent dans les premières heures. Les autres avancent. On leur avait promis trois ou quatre jours de combat. Ils en feront soixante-dix-huit, sans relève. Et puis le silence. Pendant des décennies, presque personne n'a parlé d'eux. Il a fallu attendre les années 1980 pour que la France honore enfin ces 177 hommes. Les seuls Français sur les plages, le jour le plus long. Quelle unité oubliée de notre histoire militaire mériterait un film, selon vous ?

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service? Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers. They succeeded. Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review. They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆. Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

No one gets a free pass @CamillaTominey. The sheer hypocrisy of the outrage surrounding Zack Polanski’s call to monitor returning IDF soldiers is as transparent as it is pathetic. For years, the UK establishment has rightly insisted that any British citizen traveling abroad to fight in a foreign conflict must face intense legal scrutiny, potential prosecution, and strict tracking upon their return to protect public safety. Yet, the moment the conversation turns to individuals who may have participated in internationally documented atrocities in Gaza, a specialized shield of exceptionalism is suddenly erected. Demanding that international humanitarian law applies universally is not discrimination; it is the fundamental definition of justice, and granting a free pass to potential war criminals simply because of their dual nationality is a complete abdication of the UK’s legal and moral obligations.To twist a legitimate demand for legal accountability into the sinister claim that someone is "compiling a list of Jews" is a grotesque manipulation of language designed to silence dissent and shield the guilty. This isn't about religion or ethnicity; it is about the cold, hard reality of military actions and the enforcement of domestic laws regarding foreign fighters. Those who are screaming the loudest are effectively arguing that British citizens should be allowed to wear a foreign uniform, engage in conflicts accused of horrific war crimes, and then slip back into British society with zero questions asked. If we genuinely believe in a rules-based international order, then no one gets a free pass based on their passport, and those who fought must be held to the exact same standards as anyone else.

Jew here BRITISH Jew Zack Polanski is not calling for a list of Jews. He’s calling for a list of people who left Britain to kill children in Palestine. If those people happen to be Jews that’s on them. No decent person will be on that “list”. Jew or non Jew Be quiet.
