Ready when you are, Sergeant Pembry.
This was prompted by people calling the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad “Nazi propaganda” and I cannot emphasize this enough: if, for Twitter clout, you pretend cool, attractive women are aping Nazi aesthetics, you are only going to create more young men who self-ID as Nazis.
I'm doing my bit for the young lads of the local area. I'll be dumping 100 jazz mags into hedgerows over the next few days.
While Ukraine strikes russian military targets, russia keeps bombing shopping malls, apartment blocks, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure every single day‼️Last night Russia bombed 12th Epitsentr shopping mall since the beginning of the war‼️
If you want to understand why the relics of the Arabic world belong in the British Museum, and not in their countries of origin, this is why.
The destruction of antiquities, arts, and culture in Syria is heartbreaking, in an attempt to erase Syria's 10,000-year-old cultural identity. No art, no music, no civilization, no future.
Remember when an MP was murdered by an Islamist, and rather than talk about the ideology and policies that enabled his murder Conservative MPs had the audacity to propose "David's Law" banning online anonymity?
This is a man facing a 'hate incident' charge because he politely asked a question about Islamic scripture. There are fears swirling around Westminster that we could soon have a de facto blasphemy law through a new Islamophobia definition. But this shows it's already here.
This is the moment that a Christian street preacher was arrested because he refused to give his details for a non-crime hate incident. Police in Rotherham detained him after he asked a Muslim woman about Islam's teaching on domestic violence, which she alleged was intimidating.
What a predictable triumph for the 2019-24 Conservatives.

Official UK government position is now that 16-year-olds are old enough to vote but are too young to watch videos of people having sex. Clown country
The British public: “Hi I’d like you to keep my kids safe from being stabbed, recruited into a gang, being mugged for their phones, having acid thrown on them etc.” UK government:
A British judge gave a woman asylum specifically because she joined this terrorist group
I realise the Online Safety Act might cause some problems. But if it prevents just one jihadist, who wasn’t particularly online, from killing another MP, it will be worth it. Or something.
Britain has replaced free markets with an incoherent system of judicially enforceable rights and statutory obligations. My latest for @TheCriticMag thecritic.co.uk/the-british-ec…
“There’s an asymmetry that no one explains. There’s are a million people in labor camps in China; Rwanda and the Congo—that was one of the bloodiest wars in the world; Turkey is illegally occupying Cyprus still illegitimately, illegally, much more dramatically even than Gaza; the…
The WASPI women had 25 years to prepare for the pension age going up. Many incels and perverts are only finding out about the Online Safety Act today. Massive failure of government comms.

Peter Kyle on Newsnight had a touching faith in Ofcom's ability to regulate social media. Ofcom is an utterly useless organisation, incapable of regulating traditional media, so why should this new responsibility be any different?
