“His deepest need was that people should like him. An admirable trait that; in a spaniel, or a whore — not, I think, in a Prime Minister...”

A rare moment of political courage in the British Parliament. British MP Nick Timothy tells Muslims crying “Islamophobia” to shove it: “Muhammad was a false prophet. Britain is not bound by Islam or Sharia.”
What turned the nation that once set the standard for Western civilisation into a people that now hates its own history, sacrifices its own children, and bends the knee to those who want it destroyed? Britain was the moral compass of the free world. Cold, reserved, unsentimental. Never stupid, never suicidal. While America turned the hamburger into a global brand, you drank tea with an accent that announced you as the heirs of Shakespeare, common law, parliamentary government and an empire that had shaped the modern world. You were not ashamed of what made you British. You treated it as a birthright. What changed? How did a people famous for the stiff upper lip become addicted to self-flagellation? How did defending your borders, your culture and your own become a thought crime, while importing those who openly despise everything you represent became a civic virtue? The moment anyone names the pattern, it is not outsiders who come for them. It is their own institutions. You keep open the embassy of the Iranian regime that has plotted terror on British soil and called for the murder of Britons. You sanction the one ally that warned you and helped stop the attack. You send troops abroad while jihadists walk free on your streets. Anyone who points this out is branded the problem by the same establishment that created it. Other nations should study Britain as a warning, not a model. Watch for the symptoms: when your elites treat your own people as the enemy. When patriotism becomes a sin and open borders a sacrament. When the votes of those who reject your civilisation matter more than the safety of those who built it. Britain chose that path. The results are no longer deniable. Protect your own people first. Stop appeasing those who hate you. Enough is enough is enough!

That the antisemitic entryists who have captured the Green Party, are being antisemitic, is no surprise. That the Party Leader skipped this vote and failed to use his authority to argue against them, is an astonishing act of weakness. Real Greens are welcome in the Lib Dems…

And I just renamed Lake Michigan Lake Wisconsin. See, I can sign napkins that say things, too.
JUST IN: President Trump has signed an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The name change is "effective immediately," Trump said. abcnews.link/82a4Sl7

Well Private Eye moves away from the "silly season" sneering and sums up the Arday tradegy really well.

Churches closing. Clergy cut. Parishes merged. It doesn’t have to be this way. The future of the Church of England lies where it always has: in the local parish, with a priest who knows their people. Read our manifesto. Stand for General Synod. Together, let’s #SaveTheParish

Cambridge University’s embattled “academic superstar”, Professor Jason Arday, reported fellow academic Dr David Harris, Professor Emeritus at Plymouth Marjon University, to the police after being challenged over apparent inconsistencies, errors and possible plagiarism in his work. The Committee for Academic Freedom (CAF) has seen the entire correspondence, and it raises troubling questions about the use of harassment law as a shield against awkward scholarly scrutiny in an increasingly litigious, low-trust society.

A docrinated police is a peril to a liberal democracy & free speech. This has to stop. Police investigated Times journalist who questioned Arday’s credentials & Spectator journalist who debated w Green canvasser. thetimes.com/article/77e2e64…
