Religious Secular PM

Our Prime Minister practices Hinduism, which is his personal choice and doesn’t directly impact our secular government. However, it’s worth considering what his perspective on karma might be.Karma is a concept observed by Hindus and Buddhists, with differences in how they view divine influence on the rules. When Prime Minister Sunak makes decisions that affect others’ well-being, it raises the…

Commons leader Penny Mordaunt and former minister Jacob Rees-Mogg are among senior Tories to have lost their seats, as the party suffers a heavy election defeat.

Ms Mordaunt, who was tipped as a future Tory leadership contender, saw her majority of more than 15,000 overturned in Portsmouth North.

Mr Rees-Mogg, a former business secretary, lost in North East Somerset and Hanham, with Labour overturning his 16,000 majority.

He told the BBC he wouldn't "blame anybody other than myself" and that it had been "a very bad night for the Conservatives".

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk and Michelle Donelan are among a clutch of cabinet ministers to lose their seats.

But Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who had been seen as vulnerable in his Godalming and Ash constituency, managed to hold on with slender 891 majority.

'Sobering verdict'

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded the election, speaking after he was re-elected in Richmond and Northallerton.

He said the electorate had “delivered a sobering verdict” on the Tories, and apologised to those in his party who had lost their seats. He said he had called Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on winning.

Speaking after losing her seat, Ms Mordaunt said her party had "taken a battering because it failed to honour the trust that people had placed in it".

She warned against "talking to an ever smaller slice of ourselves," adding, "if we want again to be the natural party of government, then our values must be the people's".

In other high profile Tory losses:

Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer lost to Labour in Plymouth Moor View

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan lost to the Liberal Democrats in Chichester, a West Sussex seat the Tories have held for a century

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer lost Ely and East Cambridgeshire, also to the Liberal Democrats

Chief Whip Simon Hart - in charge of party discipline - lost to Plaid Cymru in Caerfyrddin, as the Tories lost all their seats in Wales

Former justice secretary Sir Robert Buckland, who also lost his seat, told the BBC his party faced "electoral Armageddon".

He said too many Conservatives had focused on "personal agendas and jockeying for position" instead of "concentrating on doing the job that they were elected to do".

"I've watched colleagues strike poses, write inflammatory op-eds, and say stupid things they have no evidence for, instead of concentrating on doing the job that they were elected to do," the former justice secretary said.

Asked whether he was referring to former home secretary Suella Braverman, who days before polls opened published an article in the Daily Telegraph strongly criticising the government, he said: "Yes, and I'm afraid that's not an isolated example."

"I'm fed up of personal agendas and jockeying for position. The truth is now with the Conservatives facing electoral Armageddon, it's going to be like a group of bald men arguing over a comb.

Sir Robert said for the party to move further to the right would be a "disastrous mistake" that "would send us into the abyss".

Speaking earlier, before his defeat, Sir Jacob said it was “clearly a terrible night” for his party, that had come to take its “core vote for granted”.

“We need to win voters at every single election. If you take your base for granted... your voters will look to other parties.”

He thought the party had made a mistake by ousting Boris Johnson, who led it to victory in the 2019 election but was forced to step down as prime minister in 2022 following a series of scandals.

Former cabinet office minister Steve Baker, who BBC projections gave less than a 1% chance of holding onto his seat, said his party was having an “incredibly difficult night”.

He said Rishi Sunak had a "brilliant mind" but acknowledged he had made mistakes during the campaign, including the decision to leave D-Day commemorations early.

Meanwhile, Today in UK Politics

Why does Boris Johnson keep getting attention? He says that the Tories are drifting helplessly to election loss, but you know what? There isn't enough time or space on Tumblr for me to get into why the fuck he should just shut up. He was forced to quit by his own party for being a terrible human being. I can only assume that he was bored of getting attention only from Nadine Dorries, who presumably hasn't managed to seduce him yet, but has said that poor darling Boris was forced out of his job by a shadowy cabal.

Give it up, Nadine. He doesn't want you.

I don't remember it being that secret - there were mass resignations because Boris couldn't stop breaking the law, said he had an "oven ready Brexit deal" which he then tried to get out of signing because it was rubbish, lying a lot, trying to change the rules about having to suspend MPs because someone he liked broke the rules, and appointing sexual predators to the cabinet. It doesn't smack of conspiracy and shadowy dealings.

In the meantime, Suella Braverman - the Home Secretary (and let's remember that it goes Prime Minister, Chancellor, then Home Secretary in terms of seniority, and that the job of Deputy Prime Minster is so irrelevant that I had to go and look up who it is just now) reckons that the best way to deal with homelessness is to ban homeless people sleeping in tents. This is because homelessness, she says, is a lifestyle choice and, I don't know, she thinks having tents makes it too much fun.

I wish I was making this up.

Someone needs to tell Boris Johnson that it's not so much that the Tories are offering voters "nothing to rally behind" and need to offer a "positive agenda for change" so much as it is that they've stopped even pretending that they understand basic human decency, don't know that the word compassion even exists, and don't have any acquaintance with reality whatsoever.

Sh*t Show at the F**k Factory*

Sunak Loses his Party and the Plot

Source: conservatives.com

By Honest John

WHEREAS NO Conservative Party Conference in recent years can be described as entirely sane, the gathering in Manchester this month, if it is actually remembered at all, will surely go down as one of the most weird. On display we had open leadership bids by swivel eyed partisans of various right wing persuasions; performative politics by Ministers taking place in a world that seems to exist entirely in the fevered imagination of the Tory faithful and GB News, and probably one of the most bizarre conference speeches ever heard (and by one of the alleged Conservative “grown ups” to boot). And, oh yes, we had Rishi Sunak gamely, if wanly, smiling throughout a barely concealed car-crash of a conference, attempting to wield authority no one believes he actually possesses and presiding over one of the biggest political unforced errors in recent years (and that’s saying something). Welcome to the F**k Factory.

Perhaps there was a clue that all might not be going according to plan when one of the most feted politicians at Conference turned out not to be a member of the Conservative Party at all. Like a reanimated Ghost of Brexits Past, Nigel Farage hove into view, allegedly as a GB News anchor. In typical Farage style, the newsman swiftly became the story, with Tory delegates queuing up for selfies and journos interviewing the architect of Britain’s singular act of self harm, seemingly for the job of Conservative Party leader. Just about disguising the twinkle in his eye, the predatory populist opined he would be very happy to lead the Tories if only they could become a little bit more right wing, thereby putting forward his candidature for a vacancy that doesn’t exist. The excruciatingly embarrassing video footage of Farage later bopping with a breathless Priti Patel to Robbie Williams’ Angels will have been small comfort to Sunak, seemingly upstaged on day one.

Altogether more serious were the ideological challenges thrown down at Conference by a curiously unrepentant Liz Truss and an entirely repellent Suella Braverman. Truss, seemingly unaware that she and Kwasi Kwarteng permanently crashed the British economy as well as the Conservative brand during their disastrous tenure as Prime Minister and Chancellor this time last year, swaggered into Manchester Central to address a packed fringe meeting of the “Great British Growth Rally”, which sounded like a cross like Brands Hatch and Nuremberg. Her speech was peppered with the same hubristic nonsense that brought the bond markets crashing down around her ears last autumn and which saw her ludicrous premiership end after just 49 days. Without insight, contrition or political intelligence, Truss nonetheless signalled that the Chicago Economics wing of free market Leninism remains in contention for the post election battle for the soul of the Conservative Party and Truss herself clearly believes her tax-cutting zealotry will find an audience in a party that has almost entirely lost its way. Truss 2.0 cannot be ruled out - at least in opposition.

If Truss’ ego trip had an element of the comic about it, the Home Secretary’s speech entered altogether more sinister territory. One of the many catastrophes of Brexit was the infiltration of the Conservative Party, once the political expression of bourgeois civic values and British business, by rank English nationalism as Boris Johnson purged the party of its Macmillanite liberal wing in order to force through the hardest Brexit deal he could. What Braverman’s speech revealed was that tendency on full display - paranoid, dishonest, divisive, racist and filled with fear and hatred, made all the more ironic by the fact its standard bearer is a woman of colour and the daughter of immigrants. It would take a panel of psychiatrists to truly get inside Suella Braverman’s head, but what her speech articulated, with its talk of a ‘hurricane’ of immigrants heading to the U.K., was the essence of English fascism, now safely ensconced in the formerly respectable colours of Tory blue, but as intolerant, nativist, authoritarian and hate-filled as it has ever been. This, I fear, is the rising tide within Toryism, and Braverman, with her nasty following congregating within the National Conservatives, is likely to be the coming woman.

Braverman’s speech perhaps indicates a dark future for British Conservatism, but there were other Ministers to remind us what a literal joke the Tories have become under Rishi Sunak. In his desperate attempt to win a General Election on culture wars issues alone, his cabinet were encouraged to excoriate “policies” (implemented by whom was not always clear, seeing as the Tories are allegedly the government) that don’t exist or “crack down” on situations that, equally, don’t exist, turning the conference into even more of a theatre of the absurd than it was already. We had Steve Barclay bizarrely assuring a British public, infuriated by lengthening elective waiting lists, despairing of ever getting to see a GP and terrified at the non-arrival of ambulances, that there would be no admission of trans women to female wards. We watched bemused as Jeremy Hunt promised that benefits claimants who turned down a job offer would have their benefits reduced (they already do, Chancellor), and Transport Secretary Mark Harper promise to save us from the controlling malevolence of “fifteen minute cities” (an urban planning idea to place city centre facilities within in walking distance of each other) despite the fact that, as yet, they don’t exist anywhere in the world. Perhaps the most idiotic contribution was by the unfailingly unimpressive Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary, Claire Coutinho, who told us to much hearty Tory laughter, that Labour was keen to introduce taxes on meat. Coutinho was later ridiculed into silence by the conference press pack who repeatedly and gleefully demonstrated to her that she had made her meat story up. Finally, the most unintentionally hilarious contribution to this sh*t show of ridiculous posturing, was the toe-curling speech of Penny Mordaunt who stood on the stage, waving her fist heroically and urged the assembled Tories to “stand up and fight” - continually. Quite who the Blue Army was intended to come to blows with, Penny didn’t make particularly clear apart from some vague exhortation to “freedom”. It is hard to believe Mordaunt is considered the great centrist hope of Toryism and the potential future leader Labour allegedly fear. On the evidence of that speech, Mordaunt seemed not only to lose Conference, but most of her marbles too.

But perhaps the best was saved for last. With probably little more than twelve months to go before a General Election, this conference speech, his first as Tory leader, was Rishi Sunak’s opportunity to provide some direction, principle and purpose to what has seemed like an exhausted and rudderless government, out of ideas. Instead what we got was a bizarre concoction of unrelated intentions that seemed to owe more to Sunak’s own personal wish list than any re-launch of Conservative philosophy. There was a promise to scrap A-Levels and replace them with a Baccalaureate, for what reason, Rishi never got round to telling us; he wants to ban children from smoking; he loves his family and the last 30 years (eighteen of them under the Conservatives) have been a political failure. He sounded much of the time like a really cross parish councillor. But the denouement of this plotless speech was Sunak finally confirming the scrapping of the northern branch of HS2. This was announced in the city it was designed to benefit most, a short sighted decision of monumental proportions that neutralises any further network expansion in the north and turns high speed to low speed once the trains get north of Birmingham. If Labour needed any further proof of the systematic Tory failure to deliver “levelling up” to the Red Wall, Sunak provided it to them in Technicolor. The whole sorry saga is political naivety and weakness at its most miserable - an announcement that was meant to show the public the Prime Minister can make “tough” financial decisions in the national interest has pleased virtually nobody. Sunak’s keynote moment was to tell the country what he was not going to do. Nothing sums up Sunak’s failed premiership better than the dog’s dinner of the cancellation HS2 for the north.

Sunak’s speech was weak and vision-free, but to be fair, what else could it be? There is a reason why Rishi’s showpiece was an embarrassing combination of personal dislikes, tired populism and broken promises. The British people are paying the highest personal taxes for seventy years because Hunt’s budget is trying to fill a £40bn hole in the public finances recklessly inflicted by Liz Truss, the context also to the HS2 decision; Britain’s public services are now collapsing as the consequences of a decade of needless and destructive austerity under David Cameron are finally felt, and the inflation-wracked British economy barely grows, fatally and permanently held back thanks to folly of Boris Johnson’s Brexit. That is the real story of over 13 years of Tory rule, but Sunak’s problem in Manchester was that he couldn’t possibly tell it.

Ok, this tweet is really misleading

Germany as a state has not banned pro-palisrine protest. Berlin specifically banned certain groups from marching because people have been defacing Jewish homes and businesses . There have been peaceful marches allowed in Germany just this week:

As of three days ago, flying the flag is not banned in the UK. The Home Secretary Suella Braverman was assessing specific cases of flag flying in connection with harassment of locals, not flying the Palistinian flag as a whole. FLYING THE PALISTINIAN FLAG IS NOT BANNED. Stop taking your news from twitter

The thing with the student losing their job offer is true, though misleading. They were one student, a president of a local group on campus, who circulated a letter stating that Israel is to blame for any violence in the region. They (NB) published the letter after circulating it to be signed, and in response the law firm they were slotted to intern at rescinded their job offer. Some student groups rescinded their signatures after the list of civilians dead was released earlier this week, but not all. The entire thing is actually an insane breach of privacy, with other companies reaching out trying to finagle the list of students out of administration:

Cannot find a single source for Columbia banning journalists. It's only mentioned as a restriction, where Columbia U only wants campus ID holders to be protesting on their campus, and this is enforced regardless of what the protest is about. The same rules applied to the pro-Israel counter protests. They did this specifically because the counter protest was known about in advance and they wanted to prevent a full scale riot:

remember like a year ago when the west was acting appalled at russia arresting anti-war protesters for holding up blank signs and showing even a shred of sympathy for ukraine? sorry folks your genocide doesn't pertain to our geopolitical interests you're on your own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How U.K. Immigration Lawyers Became a Target of Far-Right Riots

New Post has been published on https://douxle.com/2024/08/10/how-u-k-immigration-lawyers-became-a-target-of-far-right-riots/

How U.K. Immigration Lawyers Became a Target of Far-Right Riots

On Monday, Harjap Singh Banghal got an unexpected call from the police, who warned him that he had become the target of far-right activist groups amid ongoing riots across the U.K. A renowned immigration lawyer whose offices in London and Birmingham regularly assist asylum seekers with their claims, Banghal’s work landed his name on a list—which includes up to 60 names of individual lawyers, law offices, immigration centers, and refugee shelters—being circulated on social media platforms with the phrase, “no more immigration.”

The 49-year-old lawyer from Romford, Essex, says he shut down his offices on Tuesday after the police advised him to stay home. “It’s been a mixture of anxiety and concern for my employees because our company feeds 15 families,” he says. “There’s also concern for my clients, who are coming into the office with their children, so I didn’t want anything happening to any of them.” 

The U.K. is facing its worst riots in 13 years as far-right groups lead anti-immigration uprisings across the country, sparked by the spread of misinformation that a Muslim asylum seeker had stabbed three young girls in Southport on July 29. A U.K. judge eventually revealed the suspect as Axel Rudakubana, who is not a Muslim, but by Monday night, a Telegram group had grown to 15,000 members, with the lawyer hit-list reposted several times since.

More than 400 rioters have been arrested in connection so far. On Tuesday, authorities braced for more violence with police chiefs saying they would deploy an extra 2,200 riot-trained officers to combat any unrest spreading across the country. Those targeted on the list have been offered extra security measures to prevent potential attacks, particularly in instances where offices are based inside residential homes.

Immigration has become a heated debate in the U.K. after it was reported that almost 45,000 people crossed the English Channel in 2022—the highest number since the government began collecting data in 2018. In response, the Conservative Party-led government under former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak engaged in a prolonged but unsuccessful battle in the courts and in Parliament to pass legislation that would allow the country to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The plan cost nearly £220 million, but no migrants were ever deported to the East African country.  Since coming into power in July, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated he plans to curb small boat arrivals to the U.K. by taking tougher measures to “smash” criminal people-smugglers. 

Read More: How Online Misinformation Stoked Anti-Migrant Riots in Britain

Banghal, the immigration lawyer, says that comments made by members of the last government have nevertheless contributed to the far-right threats he now faces. Last August, former Home Secretary Suella Braverman vowed to “root out” “crooked immigration lawyers” in response to reports that some law firms were offering to submit false asylum claims for a fee. 

“The last government was very clear that it was anti-immigration lawyers, and when you start validating that, it becomes an unsafe zone,” says Banghal. “I’m just doing my job, just like doctors, nurses, and teachers are doing theirs.”

One immigration lawyer on the hit-list was repeatedly threatened and eventually forced to take her website down and cancel all her face-to-face appointments. “People have been calling up my office to threaten and insult me,” she told the BBC.

The Law Society of England and Wales said it was continuing to support any members on the target list to ensure their safety after its president, Nick Emerson, wrote to Starmer, Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood, and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to express concerns. 

“These threats against our legal profession were an attack on our democratic values,” Emmerson said in a statement to TIME. “Now is the time for our country and our leaders to reaffirm their commitment to the rule of law. They must ensure that all those who have committed crimes in recent days face swift justice.”

Another professional association, the Law Society and Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA), released a statement saying it had personally contacted all the organizations on the target list to make them aware of recommended safety measures, including working from home where possible.

“The planned targeting of immigration lawyers, and the individuals they represent, is the natural inheritance of a climate of hostility fuelled by divisive, anti-migrant, and populist rhetoric from senior politicians in previous Governments and certain parts of the media, upon which the far-right have latched,” ILPA Legal Director Zoe Bantleman said. 

On Tuesday, Starmer convened a second Cobra crisis response meeting to take “all necessary action” to end the unrest spreading across the country after the government set up overnight courts to deal with the flood of cases arising from the riots. 

Banghal, who reopened his legal offices on Wednesday morning, says the riots seem like a way to “play off marginalized people against each other to suit a narrative.” But he adds that he has also received a wave of support from the local authorities and his community. “I’m cautious and alert, but I’m not going to live my life in fear for doing my job,” he says.

Dickheads of the Month: July 2024

As it seems that there are people who say or do things that are remarkably dickheaded yet somehow people try to make excuses for them or pretend it never happened, here is a collection of some of the dickheaded actions we saw in the month of July 2024 to make sure that they are never forgotten.  

Nothing terrifying about the Supreme Court of the USA coming to the decision that Richard Nixon was right all along and that, if Donald Trump a President does something, it is not as illegal - but if one of the lower orders did the same thing is still illegal, because different laws apply to them compared to their God King

Nobody told Marine Le Pen at any point in the past four years that perhaps getting a new script would be a good idea, since her blubbering about "vote rigging" after losing the French election was about as elegant as her performers yelling "Le fix!" in the most blatant Trump pantomime possible

Unifying force for good Keir Starmer thought he'd been midwifed into Downing Street a day early when he randomly said he would work with Marine le Pen to stop small boats, because nothing says "Labour leader" quite like casually saying they'd work with the far-right to maintain a Tory policy, especially given Le Pen didn't win

...though it seems that Yvette Cooper didn't quite get the memo about Le pen not winning, or notice the word "change" being plastered all over the election manifesto, as she couldn't start planning mass deportations fast enough, which is a definite change from the mass deportation-obsessed Theresa May, Priti Patel or Suella Braverman who were Home Secretary before her...

...and the next day Keir Starmer said he was "proud" to have his bid to be Prime Minister endorsed by The Sun. This would be the same Sun which Starmer said he would never give an interview to when on the trail to be Labour leader, before giving numerous interviews to and also writing columns for. But don't you dare suggest that Keir Starmer has a truth-telling problem

Nobody seemed to tell Wes Streeting that the oft-repeated buzzword for Keir Starmer's Labour Party is "Change" given he'd been in the job a week and decided to stick with Victoria Adkins' ban on puberty blockers for trans kids (and only trans kids) which even the widely-discredited Cass Review said not to do, so we can all guess what those meetings with JK Rowling prior to the election were telling him he had to do

Nobody told Keir Starmer's Labour Party that they were supposed to move leftwards once they were in government to prevent their biggest cheerleaders looking like gullible marks, hence they did things like scrap Levinson II to get favours from Rupert Murdoch, then they voted to keep the two-child benefit cap and withdrew the whip from Zarah Sultana, Apsana Begum, Ian Byrne, Rebecca Long-Bailey, John McDonnell, Richard Bugon and Imran Hussein for voting against it, which doesn't look at all authoritarian...

...which was then followed by Rachel Reeves making another decision she didn't want to make, apparently forgetting that as Chancellor she has the option to not actually make it, when cutting Winter Fuel Allowance from the elderly

Totally normal for the Knesset to debate whether or not rape should be illegal in Israel after Israeli soldiers gangraped a Palestinian prisoner to the point of him needing to be hospitalised and saw the IDF detain the ten troops - which only saw mass demonstrations by Zionism-pilled gangs defending the IDF's right to gangrape prisoners

Utterly pathetic for Jonathan Ashworth to tweet a few days after losing his seat to Shockat Adam's that he condemn one of his campaigners after they were arrested on suspicion of counter-terrorism offences which definitely did not look like prejudicing an ongoing investigation to score a few points - and this is after Ashworth failed upwards into a cushy position in Labour Together almost as soon as he'd cleared his constituency office desk

It took a week for Reform PLC to degenerate into self-interest and infighting when Richard Tice decided that he wanted to be deputy leader of the "party" which meant that Ben Habib should sod off - and when Habib publicly responded to that he was immediately booted out of the "party", reducing their MPs by 20%

A rare sighting of Thangam Debbonaire in Bristol Central a couple of days before the election served as a timely reminder why she has been hidden in a cupboard for the past four years, as she spent the entire hustings either shouting at members of the audience for daring question her (when she was lying through her teeth) or repeatedly claiming the Greens lied on their manifesto when, a.) They hadn't, and b.) Would you like to tell us about Starmer's leadership pledges?

Questions have been raised about Reform Ltd fielding candidates during the General Election who only exist on paper, questions further raised by their candidate Mark Matlock having an AI generated photo on his Twitter profile and never being seen in Clapham & Brixton Hill for increasingly spurious reasons, and it says a lot that when Richard Tice was asked this question on Peston he failed to provide proof that these candidates were real people and instead started ranting and threatening legal action

...and when "Mark Matlock" posted a video online proving they were a really real person that only posed further questions, starting with how he catfished the voting public given he was at least 10lbs and certainly balder than his AI generated picture, and that's before how he seemed to be hale and hearty for somebody who was in hospital with pneumonia (though the staff had all gone home before he got there, apparently...) four days prior

Totally normal for billionaire manchild Elon Musk to respond to pushback against the SAVE Act by branding those who oppose it "TRAITORS" (his emphasis, not mine) who should be executed - which would be a significant percentage of the US population

...equally normal was billionaire manchild Elon Musk ranting about how advertising executives needed to be imprisoned due him (and only him...) seeing "evidence" of a "racket" that stopped them advertising on the platform once racism, homophobia, transphobia and fucking Holocaust denial started to become rampant, which just so happened to have the fucking moron who owns the platform tell those advertisers to "Go fuck yourself" rather than admit he made a bad decision, was too dumb to back away from it when he had the chance, so decided to make countless bad decisions afterwards that killed the platform

...and could billionaire manchild Elon Musk explain why tens of thousands of tweets about registered sex offender Donald Trump raping kids with and without Jeffrey Epstein seem to disappear off his platform every day?

...and because billionaire manchild Elon Musk cannot stand other people getting attention instead of him, his response to registered sex offender Donald trump getting a grazed ear was to immediately tweet about how two people have tried to kill in in the past eight months, yes they did honest

...soon followed by billionaire manchild Elon Musk forgetting all his hot air about being "apolitical" by announcing he would donate $45m a month to the presidential campaign of fellow child sex offender Donald Trump, all because he hates his trans daughter that much - which looked like money well spent within days when registered sex offender Donald Trump announced the electric car mandate would be torn up - and within a week Musk did a u-turn on that

...and for his next trick billionaire manchild Elon Musk responded to Kamala Harris being the Democrat candidate for the upcoming Presidential election by being an antisemitic twunt when he suggested the Alexander Soros was behind the whole thing

...but because billionaire manchild Elon Musk has an opening his mouth problem, next up he was talking about how his son was "killed" by the spaghetti carbonara mind virus - which was certainly news to his very much alive trans daughter

...before it emerged billionaire manchild Elon Musk has a whitelist that allows the likes of End Wokeness and Andrew Tate to use any slur they wish to use without fear of having Twitter's admin bots nuke their tweet from orbit. But you know what did get nuked from orbit? The account which exposed this, because FREEXE PEACH

...and then billionaire manchild Elon Musk spent waaaaay too long pissing his pants about the Plympics opening ceremony, showing a starling lack of knowledge about history, art, or art history. Or maybe he just got frightened at the reminder of the French beheading the idle rich en masse...

...soon followed by billionaire manchild Elon Musk banning the White Dudes 4 Harris account after it raised $4m for Kamala Harris' campaign in a matter of days, which is definitely a fine example of protecting Freeze Peach

Every now and then Candace Owens likes to remind the world what an absolute fucking moron she is, and this time she decided to do so by suggesting that it was American and the Allied nations who committed ethnic cleansing in WWII, and certainly not the Nazis

It slipped the mind of Channel 3 News that they were an Indian Twitter feed pretending to be an American news channel when they started pumping out patently Islamophobic misinformation about the the very British Southport stabbing which, of course, was seized upon by brainless gammon who thought they were a real news channel because it confirmed their prejudices

...and surprise surprise, this led to the gammonati descending upon Southport looking to smash up the local mosque because they were really concerned about what happened to the three girls who were killed in the attack and definitely not looking to get destructive due to having fuck all to do on their summer holidays - apart from getting beaned in the nards with a house brick, that is

Non-political party Reform PLC were caught using photos of dead pensioners stolen from news sites and passing them off as people pledging to vote for them. I'm going to guess that, as the Electoral Commission won't do a damn thing about this before the Rapture, either the photo agency who had their photos stolen or the relatives of the people whose photos were used might be having a few things to say about that...

Perhaps if Kemi Badenoch wanted to clamp down on things said in Tory party meetings being leaked to the press, she could start with not leaking to the press the comments made in a meeting where she slagged off Rishi Sunak while also telling Tory MPs not to leak things to the press

Plastic surgery disaster Kimberly Guilfoyle somehow managed to look even more stupid than the RNC attendees with Maxipads handing off their ears in solidarity with registered sex offender Donald Trump when she said that Allied stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight Communism. No, Kim, they were storming the beaches of Normandy to combat fascism

Once again Luke Akehurst tried to appeal to the hearts and minds of Durham North by posing for a photo four miles away from the Durham miner's Gala suggesting he was invited - that would be the Durham Miner's Gala which quite specifically did not invite him

Totally normal behaviour from Stuart Roden in standing in front of a pro-Palestine rally and yelling at them to attack him in public, which definitely isn't attention-seeking nor an example of a bizarre victim complex. The fact that he donated £500,000 to Keir Starmer's Labour Party mere days before this stunt begs more questions...

Congratulations to Johnny Mercer for being the sorest loser on Election Night, with his sour grapes on full display when he stormed off the stage - which somehow wasn't even the least dignified display by a Mercer that week, given that Felicity Mercer spent the day before the election haranguing ex-servicemen who were peacefully protesting by asking to speak to the manager of the police

...though after Jonathan Ashworth and Thangam Debbonaire spent weeks kvetching to anyone who would give them a microphone about how unfair it was that they lost their MP's salaries due to the other candidates "cheating" (which is a euphemism for giving voters a reason to actually vote for them) Mercer is at best the bronze medallist for Election Night's sorest loser

Do you think registered sex offender Donald Trump called the family of the person killed when he was having his ear pierced, or the families of those injured? Of course he didn't: instead he wore a microscopic pillow on his ear that he made sure to wear at the rally in his honour the next day which he fell asleep during, before he started fondling and kissing a fireman's uniform which wasn't that of Corey Comperatore while his cultists also started wearing Maxipads on their ear and think that didn't make them look completely mental

Attention-seeker par excellence Jess Phillips bemoaned the toxicity in modern politics after she clung onto her seat by just 700 votes. This would be the same Jess Phillips who said she would gladly stab Jeremy Corbyn in the front, claims she told Diane Abbott to "fuck off" (which Abbott denies ever happening) and laughed when the results to the 2019 election came in, none of which can be described as toxic behaviour

According to JD Vance the UK is the first Islamist country with nuclear weapons. Starting to think that Trump supporters tried to lynch Mike Pence on January 6th because he wasn't enough of a headcase, while Vance is so keen to be one

...though the silence from Keir Starmer and David Lammy after these comments is certainly a concern

...and because JD Vance was on a roll, his response to Kamala Harris becoming the Democrat candidate was to call her a "childless cat lady", because that approach worked wonders for Andrea Leadsom in the 2016 Tory leadership race

On the subject of toxicity in politics, I see Kemi Badenoch and fascist pitbull Suella Braverman have decided the best way to put themselves forward for the vacant Tory leadership job is to publicly tear into each other on a daily basis

Militant TERF JK Rowling is now turning her baffling rage towards lesbians, while casually throwing the word "cure" around during her increasingly unhinged rants, which once again lends credence to the belief her choice of nom de plume is not a coincidence

...and then militant TERF JK Rowling demonstrated that she doesn't know what a woman is when ranting about Imane Khelif in the Olympic women's boxing on the assumption that, as she was noticeably taller than her opponent (who she pummeled in short order) and had short hair, she was obviously trans - except that Khelif is not and has never been trans, so at this point Rowling's derangement has her shouting at short-haired women

I hope that Mark Kern doesn't need to take his computer to be repaired anytime soon, because when he's trying to defend Dr Diddleskids by spouting some insane nonsense about a Twitch employee posing as minor to sext with Noncer Disrespect that paints a worrying picture about Kern's hard drives

...similarly we had Sneako saying there were double standards as nobody is as willing to forgive Dr Diddleskids for his past like Sketch was. Just a reminder: Sketch did gay porn once, while Noncer Noncernonce was caught sexting with minors, which are totally the same thing and definitely doesn't make Sneako sound like a fucking idiot whose hard drives need checking

...and because Mark Kern is that dumb, he was duped by people telling him that they were Japanese* and their also Japanese** kids were given homework by their Japanese*** schools about how Assassin's Creed Shadows is factually inaccurate and gleefully retweeted this...unaware that he was being played like a gullible mark that is so desperate for people to agree with him that he retweets people clearly taking the piss out of his latest idiotic crusade

Bitch move by Jack Black in splitting up Tenacious D all because Kyle Gass made a joke about Trump getting his ear pierced (a joke which Black laughed at when Gass made it) because he was scared of losing his money as a voice actor

...similarly we had Adidas cower like a bunch of bitches when the loudest, angriest zionists howled in protest at an ad campaign featuring Bella Hadid which mainly consisted of weaponising the 1972 Olympic massacre, so of course Adidas caved instead of do nothing and simply sitting back to wait for the Israeli Olympic team to get booed all games long

It might have been a good idea for Joey Mannarino to log out of his Twitter account before logging into the one where he cosplays a black woman who will never vote for Kamala Harris, because people were able to spot the lie pretty damn fast...

Waffling gargoyle Nigel Farage couldn't ditch the constituents of Clacton fast enough after Trump had his ear pierced and flew over to the US to show support to his "friend" - and was ghosted the entire time he was there, culminating in his getting arsey when asked by a British journalist if he'd even spoken to Trump since he got there

Apparently the reason why Charlotte Dujardin was whipping her horse to hamburger was "an error of judgment" and not, say, reason to investigate further if she has a habit of making similar errors of judgment. Suffice to say the fawning piece on the BBC a day before the story broke aged well...

Noted failure Paula Radcliffe wrung her hands to ask if being guilty of raping a twelve year old should stand in the way of the Olympic dreams of Steven van de Velde and somehow didn't expect that to blow up in her face - especially after she habitually calls for trans competitors to be dragged out of the Olympics kicking and screaming if necessary

...and, of course, we had Sharron Davies bleating TERFily about how she didn't lose at the 1980 Olympics because Petra Schneider was trans...a claim which is somewhat undermined by the fact that Petra Schneider is not and never has been trans

Freelance snuff photographer Logan Paul decided he'd had enough of scamming people for money, so instead launched a defamation suit in Coffeezilla's direction for their repeatedly outlining all the ways that Logan Paul's pyramid scheme/NFT game was an obvious scam where only Logan Paul benefitted from it while the saps who played the game were out of pocket which even a naked molerat could see is a blatant SLAPP suit, apparently forgetting how badly his threatening legal action against Coffeezilla for the exact same thing panned out the last time

Perhaps if Katy Perry wanted to record a wannabe feminist anthem to serve as her comeback single she could have considered maybe not having it produced by noted rapist Dr Luke

Total professionalism from Judy Murray in her response to Emma Raducanu sending Andy Murray into earlier-than-expected retirement when she pulled out of their mixed doubles match at Wimbledon due to prioritising her singles matches when she suspected an injury by bitching about her on her socials - and not the first time Judy Murray has publicly slagged Raducanu off, either

Rapey nonce Andrew Tate is so desperate to appear edgy that he keeps tweeting a phrase that Idubbbz fans called themselves a decade ago because he thinks that makes him big, hard and clever and not, say, somebody who Romanian authorities are preparing to throw into a dank, urine-soaked hellhole for a considerable amount of time not for being edgy, but for being a rapey nonce

Bonehead messiah Tommy Robinson flew over from Tenerife on his Irish passport to show the "100,000" people he managed to cram into half of the 19,000-capacity Trafalgar Square his documentary which he was told would see him imprisoned if he screened it. Hmm, would you like to guess what happened? That's right: he legged it back to Tenerife to avoid his court appearance

So about how registered sex offender Donald Trump is all over the Epstein Files, which MAGA louts had been demanding be released for years yet are strangely silent about once they are out there. So here's a question for the SCOTUS: did your God King beating it like a piñata while coercing two twelve year old girls into a lesbian sex show count as "an official act"...?

[ukfrislandembassy]

The Conservatives gave us:

The UK's first three women PMs (Thatcher, May and Truss), all of whom were shit (in different ways too!)

The first ethnic minority PM (Sunak), who has been shit

The first ethnic minority home secretary (Priti Patel), who was shit

The first cabinet where none of the Great Offices of State were held by white men (Liz Truss PM, Kwasi Kwarteng Chancellor, Suella Braverman Home, James Cleverley Foreign), all shit (Truss and Kwarteng even tanked our economy, and Braverman seems to want to one-up Patel in the 'Most Horrid Female Asian Home Secretary' contest nobody knew was a thing)

At this point, anyone trying to cite any identity-politics type arguments in defence of these people frankly deserves to be lauughed out of the room.

What do you think about Michael not defending David on his comments as he is getting criticized by politicians and other powerful people? I hope they are okay.

If ever David needs defending, I have no doubt Michael will be there.

Being criticized by the Tories, on the other hand, is a badge of honour, and Michael didn't need David when the Tories went after him earlier this year for The Way. It's like being gummed by a toothless dog.

Rishi Sunak: The Unelected Indian Prime Minister of the UK

I knew that Rishi Sunak, the unelected Indian Prime Minister of the UK, would never get elected if a general election took place, and it seems that I am going to be more than just right. Why would he think that the British public, who he says are not racist, would ever elect a brown man with Indian ties? Why did he think that just because the system allowed him to become stinking rich and made him Chancellor, the indigenous people of the UK would accept him as one of their own and let him stay in office? He should have known better and taken the free ride and split for California.

He is as charismatic as an old pair of boots. The man tries too hard to be English, to be white, just like Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Suella Braverman—all of them a bunch of sellouts to their own race, desperately trying to get that elusive country club membership that never comes their way. He’s a geek, a very short one at that, and what makes him a joke is that he is not as clever as he thinks he is. He’s that guy at school who is always putting his hand up in class to answer questions and desperate to be part of the club. Mistake after mistake has not helped the man, the worst of his mistakes being his early departure from the 80th anniversary of Normandy, which did not go down well with the British public. He did not learn the importance of British history at Winchester—that the past is a very important part of the British makeup. It’s their power base, the ability to look you in the eye and tell you it has taken 500 years to get their garden right. Five hundred years of living in the same castle—never mind the roof is leaking and they have sold all the silver and famous paintings. They have history; they came over with William the Conqueror. “You pleb, who are your people?” That is the phrase they love to establish their superiority. “Who are you? Where do you come from? Who are your people?” Telling them your people are in the Punjab and used to serve tea to their grandparents is not going to win you votes.

He also forgot the power of the Eton Mafia, the most powerful political bloc in Parliament, and when he ousted their main man Boris Johnson, he made a grave mistake and a lot of unnecessary enemies. The likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg, David Cameron, and the rest of the gang—all Old Etonians, all from the shires, all very powerful and very English. I know them well, and what they are willing to do for you as an honorary member of their club. You, the brown friend, will never become a full-blooded member. No way, not even if you marry one of their women. You will always be that Nice Chap who speaks good English. Look at the cabinet and senior positions held by black and brown conservatives. Each and every one of them, except Rishi, married outside their race—Braverman, the Foreign Minister, the Business Secretary, Patel, the former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng—all of them married white people thinking this was the best path to improve their careers. Rishi went for the bank balance and married a billionaire’s daughter, the richest woman in the UK, and Indian.

Am I being harsh? No, I am being realistic. I have been around the block. I know how these people, the shire people, think and act. Rishi should have known that he was allowed to go only so far, not further. Because he has been a bad boy, they are going to take his seat away from him, make him the first and only sitting Prime Minister to lose his parliamentary seat. They are going to disgrace him. It’s a cruel world out there. Kwasi Kwarteng learnt to his embarrassment, ending up looking stupid and becoming the shortest-serving Chancellor of the Exchequer, falling for the setup to be the fall guy. You do not challenge or defy these people, and when they finish with Rishi, he will be an example of what not to do with the Eton Mafia. Yes, they will lose badly in July, but you know what? They like it that way because it’s high time to regroup and rebrand the Conservative Party. Let that boring cockney become the target with the rest of his Labour plebs, watch them fail miserably, try to kick them out of office, and Jacob, Boris, and David—the three Old Etonian Musketeers—will unleash a new generation of Old Etonian capos onto the British public and increase the record Eton holds for having the most Prime Ministers . They have it all planned, that it will be one of the Old School Tie, a younger and fresher next-generation upper class leader. The first thing he will do is give Boris his seat in the House of Lords, which already has more Old Etonians than any other school in the UK, sitting there looking down on everyone else.

Suella Braverman's Expert Advice to Rishi Sunak: Your Plan is Flawless!

Oh, dear Rishi Sunak, how lucky you are to receive the invaluable expertise of Suella Braverman! In a recent meeting, she ever so kindly took it upon herself to point out that your plan is not working. How bizarre! Clearly, she must be an expert in everything and knows exactly how to run the entire country on her own. I mean, who needs complex economic analyses and data-driven decision-making when you have Suella Braverman's impeccable intuition? She is undoubtedly the one who has all the answers, the true savior of our economy! Who cares about those pesky facts that suggest your plan is actually yielding positive results? Forget about the declining unemployment rate, the soaring stock market, and the rapid economic recovery. Suella Braverman knows better, right? And let's not forget the brilliance of criticizing someone's plan without offering any constructive alternatives. That's the pinnacle of problem-solving, folks. Why waste time on proposing ideas when you can just sit back and nitpick without any responsibility? So, thank you, Suella Braverman, for enlightening us all. We were clearly blind to the failures of Rishi Sunak's plan, but now we see the truth. Who needs a competent Chancellor when we have such a remarkable critique master? Let's just hand over the reins to Suella and watch as all our problems magically disappear!

The chancellor says he has a "productive relationship" with the home secretary.
