There is now an alternative letter from colleagues of @nathancofnas at Ghent University. Their stated aim is "to respond to the negative and incorrect framing of Ghent University’s decision to suspend Nathan Cofnas". The letter contains numerous useful links: - to Cofnas's articles, posts, and media appearances; to concerns about his hire, the university's official responses, and the relevant rules and regulations; to critiques of Cofnas's published work and "race realism" in general.
This letter is also "free speech". And those who prepared and publicly shared it deserve our respect for their bravery. After all, it's not easy to take on the establishment (WSJ, the US government and pro-Israel lobbies).

'That did not happen in Chicago, or in Massachusetts, or in Munich or in Tokyo, didn't even happen in London, it happened in little old Oldham'

🚨Sir Ian McKellen is quoting Thomas More, writing in 1517 during anti-immigrant riots in London 🔥 when terrified foreigners were dragged from their homes and blamed for every social ill.
More asked the mob a simple question:
“What would you do, if you were the stranger?”
500 years later, those same words cut straight through the noise.
Because today we are again stirring hatred, again blaming the vulnerable, again pretending cruelty is “strength”.
If the great humanists of the 16th century could see the danger…
why can’t our politicians in 2025?
History is speaking louder than ever.
The only question is: are we listening?

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Mandelson Crisis
Starmer Acts!
The new Private Eye is out now.
ALT A photo of the front cover of issue 1658 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The cover headline reads "Mandelson Crisis Starmer Acts!" and shows two images of Keir Starmer waving outside Number 10. In the first, he says “Goodbye, Peter – we can’t have anything to do with a friend of a paedo.” In the second, he says “Welcome, President Trump!”

How Charlie Kirk died does not redeem how he lived. 🔥
I can’t say it any better than Pastor Howard John-Wesley of Alfred Street Baptist Church in Washington D.C.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years"
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
@GaryLineker Legend 👏

Gavin Esler cuts through the noise with a reminder that true patriotism isn’t loud flag-waving, fear-mongering fantasies. It’s quiet confidence, accountability, and celebrating the diverse, international roots of who we are.

I’ve done an awful lot of interviews in my 35 years as an academic and @neilmackay has been utterly meticulous with this, precise in questions and follow up. I wish I didn’t live in a time when my scholarship and voice were needed in this way.

When a Telegraph journalist says this is the most right-wing government of his lifetime, it should make people stop and think.
Tory MP @AndrewBowie_MP : “I do find some of the tone of the debate quite troubling”.
