The Duke of Wellington sat in the House of Lords for defeating Napoleon & serving as 🇬🇧 Prime Minister, not once, but twice. June Sarpong sits in the House of Lords for shagging David Lammy & being on "Loose Women". How we have fallen as a Country.

Why the fuck would you think it's a good idea to try hijacking a plane with an Indian pilot and 100 Israelis? This is not a very good plan. Not at all. Try Irish. They'll cheer for you as you crash them in the ground.

The war in Gaza is not even on the top 10 deadliest conflicts of the 21st century. It has no impact on the world economy. No critical reasorces. Not blocking trade routes. No AI innovation. No production of anything useful. The world is obsessed with it only because it involves Jews.

And this
I have a question for Hollywood. You wore the keffiyeh on the red carpet, signed boycott pledges, gave speeches at award shows and used your platforms to tell the rest of us what justice looks like. Macklemore. Susan Sarandon. Mark Ruffalo. Javier Bardem. Emma Stone. Joaquin Phoenix. Olivia Colman. Tilda Swinton. Riz Ahmed. Andrew Garfield. Ayo Edebiri. Bella Hadid. Hannah Einbinder. Melissa Barrera. Cynthia Nixon. Now the UN itself has documented what is happening in the camps in Gaza. Girls handed over for food. Rape victims pushed into marrying the man who attacked them. A father gave away his 14-year-old daughter for two bags of flour. Forced marriages more than doubled in a single quarter. No Israeli soldier arranged those weddings. Fathers did. Uncles, brothers-in-law, clan elders and camp leaders did. And a Hamas regime lets it happen. The same regime shot one of its own commanders, Mahmoud Ishtiwi, after holding him for a year. Hamas announced he had been executed for "moral turpitude," its term for homosexuality. Hamas documents later found in a tunnel in Gaza describe what happened and show that Hamas kept torturing members it believed were gay. Every summer the same regime gathers tens of thousands of children and teenagers in camps. There they learn to take weapons apart and put them back together, and they practice kidnapping Israeli soldiers. In earlier years they were trained to stab and stone police officers, while instructors celebrated the dead as martyrs. Much of the training takes place in schoolyards and classrooms, where children should be learning to read. On Hamas's own TV channel, little kids in military uniforms are interviewed about the fight. A child in Gaza learns early that the greatest thing it can achieve is to die. You march for women's rights and for gay people's right to live freely. You talk about every child's right to a childhood. In Gaza you stand shoulder to shoulder with the people crushing all of it. As long as they fight Israel, you look the other way. Can you really not see the double standard? Or are you just playing dumb to get attention at any cost? You call Israel genocidal. No court has ruled that it is, and the death tolls behind the accusation come from Hamas's own health ministry. You cheer for "the resistance." But in Gaza the resistance has a name, and the name is Hamas. You just won't say it out loud. Look at the leaders the Palestinians have been given. The Grand Mufti who sat down with Hitler. Arafat, who hijacked planes and funneled hundreds of millions into accounts he controlled. Abbas, elected for four years and still in power more than twenty years later. And then Hamas, whose leaders lived in luxury in Qatar while sending their own people to die. You defend a people and close your eyes to the tyrants who have kept it down for a hundred years. Where are your posts now? Where is the speech from the stage? Macklemore, you wrote an entire song for Gaza. Where is the verse about a 14-year-old girl sold for flour? The girls of Gaza only mattered as long as they fit your story. The moment reality stopped fitting, you went quiet. You were never fighting for them, only for yourselves and your own reputation. A reputation that will soon be put to shame. Because the truth always wins, and it takes down those who stayed silent when it mattered. Now sit down and shut up.

As a Muslim, I know some Muslims will not like this, but let’s be honest. Hamas has killed children. They have killed old people, young people and civilians. They have carried out attacks and acts of violence that go against basic Islamic principles. We know this. Some of us just don't want to admit it. Call them resistance fighters if you want. I call them a terror group, and as a Muslim, I will never support Hamas. And no, saying this does not mean I don't support the freedom of Palestine. I do. I want Palestinians to have a normal life, to live with dignity, safety and freedom. You don't have to defend everything Muslims do just because they are Muslims. Sometimes you have to be able to say: this is wrong.

This whole Macklemore situation is so spiritually Palestinian. Ed Sheeran became one of the biggest musicians in the world by writing good music, he built an audience, and people spend hundreds of dollars to come hear his music. Macklemore gets invited onto that stage and decides to hijack Ed Sheeran’s concert for his political rally. Ed built the stage and brought the audience, and Macklemore decided he was entitled to commandeer it for his demented cause. And when Ed Sheeran tells him this is a concert, not a political rally, and he doesn’t want to take sides, he becomes the villain. This is Palestinianism. You build nothing. You bite the hand that feeds you. You leech onto things other people built and destroy them. These parasites have hijacked every institution, every cultural event, everything other people built, and feel entitled to selfishly destroy it for their tribal clan politics.

Seeing so many tweets disagreeing with that BBC expose of Glasgow city centre saying bullshit like "I walked through the town for 5 minutes at 1pm and I didnt see a single thing, bloody far right" when I literally live there and just the another night when I was taking a friend visiting from abroad on a wee tour of the city centre we saw 2 fights, migrants openly dealing drugs and then a freshly beaten up junkie walking past us with his ear hanging off. He instantly wanted to leave. If your "I am in Glasgow all the time" really means "I see it for about 10 minutes during my 9am and 5pm commute" then genuinely just shut the fuck up because you have no idea what you are talking about.

Dear Sane Sane America, To last few humans who still possess the IQ of a functioning toaster, Wake the fuck up. We are watching grown adults lose their goddamn minds over a T-shirt that quotes the dictionary. Enes Kanter Freedom...actual man, former NBA center, professional troll of the delusional, sits courtside at a WNBA game in a black shirt that says the most radioactive phrase in modern America: “WOMAN noun. adult human female.” That’s it. Not a slur. Not a threat. Not a manifesto. Just the definition that every species on Earth has operated under since sex evolved. The same definition that built Title IX, women’s scholarships, women’s locker rooms, and every women’s record book that isn’t currently being rewritten by males who decided to cosplay. And the reaction? Absolute, screaming, pants-on-head stupidity. Chicago Sky player Natasha Cloud scores, then storms over yelling and pointing like the shirt personally stole her lunch money. Security boots the guy in the dictionary shirt. The player who initiated the meltdown keeps playing. He gets escorted out for the crime of noticing reality. She gets to keep her job in a league that exists because men and women are different. This is how stupid the bullshit has become. Men do not belong in women’s sports. Trans women are men. Full stop. They are adult human males. They have male skeletons, male muscle, male strength, male speed, and male performance advantages that no amount of hormones, makeup, or Twitter affirmation can erase. Pretending a man becomes a woman by declaration is not progressive. It is the dumbest collective hallucination in human history. It is the emperor’s new clothes, except the emperor is now dunking on actual women and demanding you clap or get called a bigot. We will not play along with your delusions. We will not pretend that fairness is bigotry. We will not sit quietly while women’s categories are turned into participation trophies for males who couldn’t cut it against other men. Kanter Freedom’s shirt wasn’t “hate speech.” It was a flashlight pointed at the dumbest ideology currently destroying women’s sports, women’s spaces, and basic pattern recognition. The fact that stating “adult human female” gets you ejected while the people defending the opposite get applause tells you everything about how far down the rabbit hole the clowns have dragged us. Sane America: the emperor has no tits, no ovaries, and no business in the women’s game. Stop treating this circus like serious policy. It is pure, unadulterated, face-palming stupidity dressed up as compassion. Call it what it is. Laugh at it. Reject it. And keep the dictionary open, because the people who want it banned are the ones who’ve already lost the plot. Yours in zero fucking patience for this nonsense, someone who still knows a man when he sees one and isn’t afraid to say so. P.S. If reading this made you rage-post about “violence,” congratulations: you’ve just proven the point. The rest of us will keep living in reality while you argue with the English language.

The rail infrastructure in the UK is worse than 3rd world. Every single train to or from whatever destination is delayed daily. Utter fucking shambles.

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism. As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.

After 7 October, people marched for the cause of those who committed the atrocities. So I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by the sinister turn the response to Arday's death has taken. A fraudster has turned marytr and the crowd are out for blood. It's so dispiriting, though.

A Black Cambridge professor dies after resigning amid explosive plagiarism allegations, and the British political and academic class immediately starts talking about racism. Aaron Dugmore was nine years old. He was one of the few White children in a school where roughly 75% of pupils were non-White. His family said he was subjected to racial abuse, including being told that “all the white people should be dead”, before he was found with a cord around his neck. Britain never made his name a national cause. Ask yourself why. I wrote an article about this linked below:

If I was the court artist whose portrait of one of the most sought after gangsters in the world looked like this I might be seeking a new identity, no?
