We have extraordinary brains and god-like technology, throttled by a medieval understanding of our minds and emotions.
We need to upgrade our understanding of the mind so we can claim our rightful inheritance as a species.
“Islamophobia” is a nonsense term, a clever act of semantic infiltration by those keen to use western values to stifle freedom of speech and introduce blasphemy laws by the back door. Islam is a system of ideas. As such, we must be free to criticise it
#FreeSpeech
This Islamophobia Awareness Month, we must shine a light on the abhorrent hatred and discrimination Muslims continue to face.
In the last year alone, religious hate crimes targeting Muslims rose by 15% in England and Wales.
This is utterly unacceptable. London will always stand against hatred, prejudice and discrimination.

Waymo reports 95% fewer serious-injury-or-worse crashes than matched human benchmarks. We can scrutinize the evidence all we want, but how much safer MUST a machine be before we trust it with something we let humans do every day?
It will never be 100%.

A shameful bit of secret Labour party subterfuge
designed to aid their core voters while concealing information from the rest of the public
If we had a proper press they would be all over this
But we don't
How can you expect a democracy to function if there's next to no reliable information coming from the media ?
Here is a riddle for you. How does the government hold a “public” Islamophobia consultation in secret?
Simple: it takes evidence only from organisations it has hand-selected, refuses to say who they are, and then, when an MP asks who responded, claim in parliament that the records have been “deleted”.
That, in essence, is how Britain acquired its official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility”, the rebranded version of the Islamophobia definition that Islamist groups have campaigned for over years.
@NJ_Timothy, the Conservative MP for West Suffolk and shadow justice secretary, exposed the scandal on The Brink this week.
It would be an outrage of transparency even if the consultation was about bus timetables. But the subject could not be more serious: free speech, Islamist incursion and the question of who gets to decide what Britons may say about religion.
And when Nick refused to accept the government’s word, he discovered that the records it swore it had “deleted” had been sitting on its servers all along.
Frankly, the whole thing stinks of an official cover-up on behalf of the Islamists. Ask yourself this: What has the government got to hide? Here’s what we know...

The government has lied...
On a matter where their core voters mean more to them than the rest of the country does
By any standard, this is a major scandal. The govt has lied. And it’s not a trivial lie. It concerns free speech, the influence of radical Islamism on decision making, and on a deeply regressive move to introduce blasphemy laws to the UK at the behest of extremist Islamist organisations.
It could hardly be more serious.
And yet - where is the media coverage? The outrage?
The BBC hasn’t even touched this story.
They’ve run stories about a squabble between Farage & a LibDem MP about some mild jostling in the Commons, & they’ve run stories about mice in Downing St.
But this - a story about government lies, an attempted cover up, Islamist entryism into the heart of our democracy- doesn’t meet their ‘news’ threshold apparently.
(Incidentally if it wasn’t for social media and @NJ_Timothy none of us would have any idea about this.)

🚨 ISLAMIC BLASPHEMY LAW BY THE BACK DOOR 🚨
Kellie-Jay Keen (@ThePosieParker) has been charged with a criminal offence over posts criticising Islam, Muslim cultural practices and Islamism.
The Free Speech Union is proud to be defending her.
In a free society, no religion or cultural practice should be immune from criticism.
Since Labour came to power, the number of FSU cases involving people penalised for criticising Islam has doubled. It is now the single biggest category in our casework.
And now, with a state-approved definition of Islamophobia — rebranded as “anti-Muslim hostility” — things are only getting worse.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Communities Secretary Angela Rayner met Muslim community leaders in Downing Street. Burnham took a swipe at critics of Islam, saying “some of the language” opposition parties use “is unacceptable”, and told the leaders “we need to find ways with you to demonstrate that more and more”.
We now await Rayner’s appointment of an “Islamophobia tsar” who will help enforce the definition.
All five hand-picked members of the Working Group that drafted it have concerning links to Islamist organisations, as FSU Research and Policy Director @DavidRoseUK exposed in his report. We have little hope that the appointed tsar will be good news for free speech.
Meanwhile, the Government is refusing to say who submitted responses to the Working Group, so we cannot know which groups shaped the definition. Islamists may well have had a hand in its drafting.
Support the FSU’s campaign against an Islamic blasphemy law — and the people penalised under it 👇

🚨 JUST IN: Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński STARES into the camera to drop this message for any American considering voting Democrat in 2026
"Socialism is DEATH, slavery and lack of any freedoms. PLEASE don't do it — don't go through 70 years of occupation like Poland did."
"You know what socialism is? Everyone is equal...Equally HUNGRY. And that's what we went through. Please, don't do it. Do not vote socialist for your next generations for your children and grandchildren!"
@D_Tarczynski 💯💯
Poles LIVED THIS: ration cards, empty shelves, lack of food and martial law by the commies
Now Democrats are running open socialists like Mamdani and ABDUL EL SAYED
Listen to the people who actually survived it! 🇺🇸🇵🇱
Everyone who fled communism does NOT want to go back. Americans must vote Republican.

Amen. @KemiBadenoch once again hits the target.
Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.
Can’t wait to see “Paging Hezbollah” 🔥
Paging Hezbollah film review from @liel and the @TheFP:
"As we watch the story unfold, we root not only for the crafty spies but for something grander and quintessentially American, something that once gave Hollywood its superpower: the basic human understanding that the fight between good and evil is simple and simply exhilarating."

Tonight, my family and I experienced something no family should ever have to go through.
Our restaurant, Singh’s Dining Restaurant in Hammersmith, was attacked by a group of Islamists.
We had been receiving death threats every single day, including one that specifically warned us that 28 October would be our last day.
We raised our concerns, and the @metpoliceuk were aware of the threats. Yet tonight, we found ourselves facing the very nightmare we had feared.
My daughter had to close the shutters just in time. I cannot even begin to imagine what might have happened if she hadn’t acted so quickly. We could have lost someone in our family tonight.
The attackers reportedly tried for a long time to break through the shutters to get inside, leaving shortly before the police arrived.
We have serious concerns about how the attackers knew when to leave, and whether they were alerted before the police arrived. These concerns deserve a thorough and transparent investigation.
Tonight, I am left facing a heartbreaking decision, Do we keep our doors open and risk our lives, or do we shut down the business we have worked so hard to build because I don’t serve Halal food.
No family should ever have to choose between their livelihood and their safety. No one should have to live in fear in their own place of work.
I am angry. I am heartbroken. I am frightened for my family’s safety.
I am calling on the @metpoliceuk to take these threats seriously, investigate tonight’s attack thoroughly, and ensure that my family is protected.
Please share this post. Let our voices be heard. We should not have to wait for someone to lose their life before our safety is taken seriously.
Enough IS Enough.

The @Telegraph would fight to keep someone as talented as @AllisonPearson if this were about journalism.
But it’s not.
Legacy media exists to promote the narrative, not to challenge it.
I fear for the Telegraph.
The new German owners are taking a wrecking ball to a fine journalistic institution by sacking 100 journalists ( despite saying they would invest) and pushing out the door the only names worth reading, the latest being the brave and super talented Alison Pearson.
All in favour of cutting costs but what is their big idea?
Some old nonsense about more foreign news (nobody will pay for that) and turning the Telegraph into a global behemoth.
That definitely won’t happen.
My advice is to take a tip from the financially successful Times;
Invest heavily in journalism and journalists, disclose information not available elsewhere, keep your good writers fed and watered.
I know there is nobody at the Telegraph, from the Editor downwards not concerned at their future and the future of the title.
These are tough times for the media, not made easier by these owners destroying their own £600million investment and the enjoyment of their readers.

The Telegraph commits hara-kiri. 🗡️
@AllisonPearson was its best-loved writer.
And readers will grieve the loss of other fine writers such as @LiamHalligan and @Sherelle_E_J
You can’t cut out the heart of a paper and expect its readers to stay.

This might be a hot take, but the real AI divide will not be rich versus poor or young versus old. It will be curious versus afraid. The tools are nearly free and getting better every month. The only thing standing between most people and that leverage is a decision.

Surely not. One of the UK’s very best, most respected, most courageous and most astute journalists. That would be a shocking loss to the Telegraph. My subscription would stop at once. Tell me it’s not true.

One of the greatest messages ever uttered by any head of state to the people of another nation.
Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.
