EPPING: Confronted on the fact his officers escorted pro-migrant demonstrators to the Epping protest Essex Chief Constable Harrington says it is "not for me to comment" on his own police force's actions.

"In 2024, just 53.65% of births in England and Wales were white British, down from 62.89% in 2014, an astonishing 9.24 percentage point drop in a decade." Pleased to publish this very important piece from @CharliePCole98 at @LD_Sceptics today.

When Essex Police doorstepped @AllisonPearson over a tweet, Private Eye cheered it on
Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal? PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested, bundled into a van and taken to the cells during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece…
"Why do ministers struggle to get anything done? Because policies have to go through a sausage machine of legal duties: the ECHR, the Equality Act, the Environment Act, the Civil Service code and the Attorney General's rules." @AmarjeetJohal on the Sceptic. Full episode👇
In Europe, thousands are being convicted for the crime of criticizing their own governments. This Orwellian message won't fool the United States. Censorship is not freedom.

"Christians are persecuted terribly in the Middle East, yet their asylum applications in the UK are less likely to succeed than those of Muslims. The Home Office seems to have a systemic bias against Christians." Solicitor Michael Phillips on the Sceptic. Full episode👇
