Crisis of Illusions This is getting serious. I wrote a couple of days ago about the resemblance between the events of the past week and the summer of 1914: mostly suggesting that the isolation and unreality both the T…

Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale Follow If I'm in charge later, we won't just have a three strikes law. We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others. Our society needs balance. It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable. 6:19 AM • Dec 5, 2025 • 263.9K Views ...

This is Jon Lonsdale, cofounder of Palantir.👇

That’s the Palantir whose software Wes and NHS England are wanting to roll out to manage our health records.
We’re putting our health records in the hands of a man who would bring back public hangings.

Btw: the photo has had the saturation increased but it’s a real image.

Would you characterise this as "progressive" or just Nazi shit, Toby?

A blue twilight with clouds at the top and the silhouettes of roofs at the bottom, a tree stretching up at the left. The moon clear mid-left, and a rainbow coming down left to right.

As another challenging week draws to a close, hope remains. Shabbat Shalom one and all.

I finally read Anthony Seldon’s book the other day. She seems to retreat ever further into a stab in the back myth to dissociate from her own failures.

A CALL TO ACTION: Submit “Media Bias” Tips The White House recently launched a Media Bias Portal as a service to truth and transparency. Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies,

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

I’m waiting for ReformUK to claim that “Nigel believes in all forms of racism.”

Boat strike briefings help Hegseth - but shipwreck video release may hurt Republicans and Democrats agreed he didn't order killing everyone on an alleged drug boat. That's where the consensus ended.

Accepting the rule of law means you go to the trouble of arresting & prosecuting based on evidence, recognising that some will evade justice. Once you decide it’s easier just to murder suspects you undercut a key premise of Western civilisation.

Question time fans rage defund the BBC after small boat migrants planted in audience.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

My Jewish daughter and her Muslim nursery staff made a Christmas angel today. Multiculturalism or Christian supremacy? Answers on a postcard… (ideally saying “Season’s Greetings…)

Guardian headline above image of David Lammy MP, Justice Secretary: Lammy’s jury trial plans are “massive mistake” say Labour MPs and peers. Only cases such as murder and rape or offences carrying sentence longer than three years would face jury under plans.

Serious reservations about this, but you know…the jury’s out…

I don’t think it excludes the possibility of new accusations!

“We had six MPs and four factions: inside Your Party’s toxic power struggles.” Above a picture of Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana.

What we want to know is, how many of those factions were just JC?
