Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it.
But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy.
Both present major threats to public life.

“Palestine Action is the first civil disobedience organisation that does not advocate for violence to be proscribed by the British Government as a ‘terrorist’ group, in a Trumpian abuse of power which would have seen this Labour Government proscribe the Suffragettes": Ammori.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Not only did they murder hundreds of thousands of people. They also stole the money.

Keir Starmer and his Labour Together puppet masters are a broken anchor dragging Labour to uncharted depths, and bizarrely the majority of the party have decided to grab ahold and hitch a ride to the bottom.

I’m currently writing a book about the attempted Nazi demonstration in Skokie in 1977. This is indistinguishable from how American Nazis talked in public.

Yesterday: we exposed the terrifying extent of corporate capture in British politics

Three Labour select committee chairs came out calling for urgent action in response

Today: Labour government's Elections Bill lands. Does almost *nothing* to tackle any of the issues we exposed. 🤦

BREAKING: Congressman Ted Lieu just exposed Pam Bondi for lying under oath. This is a federal crime. Wow.

Why 'island of strangers' and the 'incalculable damage' of immigration (as stated by Starmer) was so catastrophically wrong.... in one tweet.

Jeffrey Epstein Advised an Elon Musk Associate on Taking Tesla Private The financier recommended adding Margaret Thatcher to Tesla’s board, even though she had been dead for five years.

In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.

Oatly loses long-running 'milk' battle with dairy lobby The plant-based drink maker can no longer use the term 'milk' to market its products.

The latter.

🔴 Exclusive: Corporate donations British parties tripled over last three elections

But here's key thing: almost none is from FTSE500/listed companies

It's almost all companies controlled by super-wealthy individuals, or small, opaque firms

Behold, the golden age:

Absolutely remarkable how easily the people who were extremely good friends with paedophiles convinced former Director of Public Protections Kier Starmer that they in fact weren't extremely good friends with paedophiles and actually barely even knew them...

Keir Starmer's defence for giving Matthew Doyle a peerage despite him having links to Sean Morton, is that he didn't give a full account of his actions.

Issue is, Doyle campaigned for Morton's re-election after charges were filled for possession of CSAM. This information was in fact publicly known.

I'd forgotten how clear the manifesto was on this.

"A proud tradition of welcoming people fleeing persecution and abuse."

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

It is slightly irritating that the Guardian uncritically reports his claim that taxpayers are spending "an ever increasing proportion of our national income on out-of-work benefits” without pointing out that it is, in fact, false.

Well, I love having a good old moan and end up having to eat my words at the end! MOT!

Me too. But away from home he's going backwards and reverting to his disappointing worst.

Absolute brain fart from Bijol. Time for Farke to throw on more attackers - this could end up 4-0 if we don't get Gruev and Arronson, who aren't up to competing against sides of this level away from home, off and Willy and Ao on.

So frustrating once again. This game is clearly only going in one direction, but somehow Farke is content to sit, watch and do nothing...

This is why - if we stay up - it is essential that we look for a truly elite-level manager. Farke would've done a fine job keeping this squad in the Prem, but it's clear he's not the one to take it higher up the table.
