It is very interesting that the Mail’s story on Michael Gove’s recent ex-girlfriend being charged with CSAM offences has been memoryholed two days after it was published. Public records show she appeared at Oxford Combined Court centre on September 30 and pleaded not guilty.

On this day 26 years ago I was a child watching another Palestinian child on tv, about my age, hide behind his dad & then get killed, because the soldiers shooting didnt value his life at all. His name was Mohammad al-Durra. 26 years later, the lives of Palestinian children matter even less.

Braverman rules cut out most people who became English over the last 200-1000 years
Braverman’s argument does not just report her choice not to identify as English. She argues that ethnic minorities “should not” do so – at least before they have five or six generations of ancestry here. This would seem to entail that almost nobody black or Asian, Hindu, Muslim or Jewish who identifies as English would qualify – under Braverman rules – for another couple of generations at least.

Needing English ancestry to identify as English would have left us with an English group containing almost none of those who became English after 948 AD. Today’s clearly multi-ethnic English identity is arguably not so much a rupture as a continuation with how English identity has worked for ten centuries, when those born in England identify as English and are accepted as doing so.

Braverman should be asked if she rejects Ed Miliband being English (Jewish European parents). It would be highly racialised to say "no, Jews can't be Englieh for 5-6 generations" which is her logic. But perhaos even more racist to say "Miliband yes, Sunak no" (on visible skin colour, not ancestry)

I think the relevant caselaw here is shaping up to be Rylands & Fletcher. If you collect up any inherently risky material or item on your property and it then escapes and causes damage, it creates strict liability. ie, you do not have to prove liability, you go straight to quantum of compensation.

Screenshot of Facebook post by one of Daniel Thomas's Patriot Platform Blackshorts Ashley Griffith 6h

Danny has stood us down.

He's given the daily mail 48 hours to resolve the issues around his mother's home and to relocate her in a new home funded by the mail.

If the mail don't comply,
