A number of far left politicians, commentators & other useful idiots seem to have a very hard time understanding that fracturing a policewoman’s spine with a sledgehammer isn’t magically transformed into some beautiful act of protest because it was done for the Palestinian cause.

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.
It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.
Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.
We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

The head of Met Police Mark Rowley says London will be less safe because Sadiq Khan blocked the company Palantir from a contract with them. Nobody had even heard of this company until rabid pro-Pals started whining about them. They are harming British ppl.

Russia: 75% divorce rate. Collapsed birth rates. Sky-high alcoholism, sex-trafficking, and domestic abuse. Very low church attendance.
The only way you can say Russia isn’t in sharper decline is if you’re being paid to say that.
Coincidently, know the op when you see it.

This is how ‘pro Palestine’ performative politics affects the U.K.
500-700 fewer police officers in @metpoliceuk
Jun 11
🚨Sir Mark Rowley has just told me London will be “less safe” by the end of the year because he’ll have to lose 500-700 officers from doing frontline jobs after Sir Sadiq Khan blocked plans to use Palantir AI
Q - You wanted to roll out AI provided by Palantir to try and speed up tasks in the Met like searching through reports, searching through phone data. Sadiq Khan, mayor of London, said, no, that's not happening. You've been blocked from doing it. So what does that mean?
ROWLEY: I'm having to shrink the Metropolitan Police because of our budget, so we've shrunk by 3,300 people in 3 years. We're going to lose another 1,150 people this year. We had a plan to avoid doing any damage to the policing of the streets by using technology to automate behind the scenes, as well as improving what officers could do. Now that's been blocked we're going to be taking between 500 and 700 officers out of frontline services equivalent…. 500 to 700 officers and staff who were part of delivering services to London, maybe from call handling through to street policing, we're going to have to reduce that. That will have an effect on the streets of London. That's why we were trying to do a sort of a sort of rapid tech procurement to make a difference for Londoners.”
SOPHY RIDGE: Will it make London less safe?
SIR MARK ROWLEY: “Well, we're going to be smaller at the end of the year. So it'll be less safe at the end of the year than it was otherwise.”

A defence secretary has never resigned in this way. Fox, Heseltine, Profumo - all resigned over scandals. To resign because the PM would not pay enough to keep the country secure - unprecedented.

I linked to this 16 months ago. It's still as described. RIP Sir Alex Younger.

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

Once again telling our story in the hope that it helps to change a broken system. But it shouldn’t be the job of families to try and fix a culture that’s so toxic.
Today we learned from #panorama that midwifes had used FOH next to lady’s to labours names to mean “f*ck off home”
It’s time for accountability it’s time for @nottmhospitals to remove the individual from clinical care. Show Nottingham that this behaviour isn’t acceptable #findFOH

It's not rare at all. It's a high risk activity being pregnant and giving birth on a maternity unit in the UK at the moment.
Compared to road accidents, there's roughly a 1 in 43,375 chance of dying on the UK roads...but a 1 in 206 risk of your baby dying on a UK maternity unit

I will miss Meta so much. Friend, colleague and mentor, Meta was an extraordinary woman who combined wit, intelligence, kindness and elegance. From MI6 agent to Labour Peer, I had the pleasure of working with Meta for over 10 years and learnt so much from her wisdom and insights.

Meta Ramsay dedicated her life to service and duty both before entering Parliament and throughout her time within it. Much of what she did for Britain will never be fully known, nor was it ever done for recognition or praise. It was done out of a deep sense of duty to her country

Visibly Jewish woman and her children, waited for green light on pedestrian crossing, on Leicester Road, Manchester, when a driver, pulls over whilst his light was green, but steps on accelerator when it’s red.
He clearly tried to run over this Jewish family in Manchester.

Why doesn’t this BBC story examine why there’s a market for fathers selling their young daughters to other men in the first place? What a strange omission - it’s like the reality that these girls are being sold as child brides to be raped by adult men is invisible or something.

Selling children to survive: Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices bbc.in/49UQzLU
Community note
BBC frames Afghan fathers selling daughters as sympathetic. All profiled cases involve girls (e.g. 5-year-old). Selling daughters for marriage is an issue in Afghanistan because of the Taliban regime’s return. BBC focuses on fathers' distress over rape of the girls.

Everyone needs to go to the @novaexhibition in London.
I have just been and I am completely shaken by what I saw.
As you walk among the tents, awnings and burnt out cars salvaged from October 7, you’re shown footage from the day, filmed by festival goers and bodycam footage of the Hamas terrorists.
The glee with which they murdered innocent people is vile. There’s no glory in it or justification for it.
As well as the brutality and evil of that day, there are also inspiring messages of hope.
If you really want to understand what happened on October 7 and how it felt, please go.
You will l leave deeply affected by it. But also, somehow, with more hope for humanity.
A festival. A moment in time.
Then everything changed.
The Nova Exhibition shares the human stories behind that moment, told through those who experienced it.
Opening in London from 20 May.

An Iranian man stood with the Jewish community.
Soon after, his shop was vandalised.
We sat down with him to hear why he refuses to back down.

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.
We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.
They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

In living memory, Jews were forced to wear yellow stars in Europe. Non-Jews don’t understand how moving it is to see that same star on a national flag, waved proudly on Europe’s biggest stage.
