Quite right
Injustices are not solved by sweeping them under the carpet as this Labour government prefers to do
They need to be brought out into the light of day
The judge who remanded Danny Tommo in custody won't be investigated.
Tan Ikram, the deputy chief magistrate, refused him bail at his first appearance. In 2024 Ikram was formally warned after liking an anti-Israel post. The judges' watchdog accepted the like was an accident.
Last month Tory shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy asked for an investigation. Lord Chancellor Alex Norris, who runs the courts, turned the request down and asked Timothy to stop the "dangerous public criticism".
Questions aren't dangerous. Dodging them is.

I’ve just been listening to this (excellent) interview, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the authorities, the charities - and the government - know.
They KNOW full well that most of the men coming here illegally and claiming asylum are not genuine refugees.
They know. AND THEY DON’T CARE.
Because to them it’s more important to crush and replace an English culture they despise. They despise our traditions, our heritage - and maybe most of all they despise our white working class. And they particularly want to punish them for Brexit.
And because they are almost always more privileged, they can self-select into nicer houses, in nicer areas, with safer streets and better schools. So (as yet) they are completely protected from the consequences of their views. In fact they think they can have their cake and eat it.
So we are already in a kind of war.
A war with them.
“This is a multi-state sponsored invasion of Britain.”
@PatrickChristys breaks down how illegals get to Britain, from taxpayer-funded support in France to the British state’s unmarked coaches and police escorts waiting in Portsmouth.

Reading contemporary literature is a detestable, repulsive experience. I don’t enjoy it at all, and for me, it’s quite literally a chore I have to fulfill as part of my job as a literary critic.
I’ve been thinking about why so many people in our society view reading as a tedious chore, and I wonder if it has to do with the sorts of books we keep churning out today. I love reading more than anything in the world, and I can get lost in classic literature for several hours at a time. But reading contemporary literature feels like a completely different activity. I, too, would hate reading if that was all I never knew.
The answer to the reading crisis is to publish better, deeper books that challenge the limits of your mind.

really? what a narrow view! Anderson did in fact write sympathetically & convincingly about girls & women; even Hemingway has a story from an adolescent girl's perspective, "Up in Michigan," that is a knockout; not to mention D.H. Lawrence, Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Hardy & (not least) Shakespeare.
if men can't write about women, women presumably can't write about men.
educated people can't write about lesser-educated people, Black writers can't write about brown people, people from Maine can't write about people from Vermont, no one can write about anyone except the sickly face in the mirror.

SHARE SHARE SHARE‼️ lets get this to as many people as we can‼️
This is Ted Verity the chief editor at the daily mail. The man responsible for sharing the address of Danny Thomas mother. I wonder how he would feel if his address where his family live or that of his relatives was to be posted online. Imagine the uproar if they were getting death threats. Let me be clear! We are not playing around. We are the patriots and the people’s army and we will do whatever is necessary to make sure our people are safe. 🏴🇬🇧

You could swap her for that parakeet she thought was lost and the only noticeable difference would be the sudden absence of hypocrisy and a huge surge in likeability. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

She just keeps drivelling unaware she’s being received by a mixture of contempt and boredom, as their expressions show.

The Jason Arday story has been delicious. But the problem goes well beyond race and academia. Would Andrea Long Chu, a vicious, porn-addled misogynist, really have won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism if he hadn’t claimed to be a woman?
Woman-hate is widely regarded as a sign of edgy brilliance, and its totally acceptable so long as the man spouting it has changed his pronouns.

You won't see this on the BBC
And it is news...
