Northern Irish politics is one side making the place too expensive for Ireland to take on and the other making us too expensive for the UK to keep us. Incompetence by design.

Open the books on State use of agents, enabling and prolonging far-right activities. MI5 linked Fulton/Keeley was written about as early as 2022, but PSNI used Neither Conform Nor Deny to conceal his identity for 4 more years. MI5 agent links to NI & Tommy Robinson’s rise echo dark state collusion.

A news paper clipping reads "PSNI drops 'Neither Confirm Nor Deny' stance on Kevin Fulton alias'.

Yesterday wwestern media and leaders, remembered the 1200 who lost their lives on October 7th. Not one mentioned the 20,000 children and 50,000 adults, who have been murdered from October 8th in response. If you want an example, that ONLY white lives matter, this is it. Happy to be proven wrong.

Three years after the dreadful October 7 attacks, Israelis are lucky they're able to rebuild. 70,000 Palestinians have been butchered by Israel since then, almost all homes and buildings destroyed, and the survivors are still homeless, hungry and desperate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think part of the liberal outrage is that it doesn't put non-Palestinian voices, specifically the other side, front and centre on the question of Palestine. From British empire one, it's been considered the right of the coloniser to decide the terms of decolonisation.

None of the claims made here are true, but that's beside the point. What matters is the suggestion that certain people should not be subject to purity tests, while others should. For example, raise Palestine and you will be asked if you think Israel has the right to exist.

Probably because ethnic cleansing is extremely popular among Jewish Israelis across the political spectrum

Poll: 82% of Israelis Want To Expel Palestinians from Gaza; 47% Want To Kill Every Man, Woman, Child

Excerpt from this article: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/majority-israelis-support-expulsion-palestinians-gaza-poll

Secular public supports expulsion
According to the Penn State poll, support for the mass expulsion of Palestinians from the enclave was also found among 70 percent of the secular Jewish public, parts of which are considered liberal. Meanwhile, support among the Masortim (traditionalists), religious, and ultra-Orthodox communities exceeds 90 percent.

The sweeping and cross-political and social support for the expulsion of Palestinians does not stop at the borders of the occupied Gaza Strip. According to the poll, 56 percent of Israeli Jews support the expulsion of Palestinian citizens of Israel from their land.

I think it's important to remember that: a) Outside of a few eccentrics, the left didn't claim there was no antisemitism in Labour. The argument was that its incidence was far less than in other parties and in society in general, AND that the charge was politically-motivated.

michael deacon continues his valiant quest to be britain's unfunniest man

After Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the co-owner of Manchester United, controversially suggested that mass immigration may have had one or two drawbacks, and that an annual welfare bill of £353bn may be a touch on the high side, the Man Utd Muslim Supporters’ Club demanded he resign. A dramatic development. I’ve got just one question.

Why do Man Utd have a Muslim supporters’ club?

Obviously there’s nothing wrong with Muslims supporting Man Utd. Unlike pork, alcohol and being married to more than four women at once, the 13-time FA Cup winners are not considered haram.

What I don’t understand is the purpose of a Muslim supporters’ club – and I would say exactly the same about, say, a Man Utd Buddhist Supporters’ Club, or a Man Utd Zoroastrian Supporters’ Club. Because I simply can’t see a link between football and any given religion.

So what is such a club for? Do its members meet up to discuss their team’s tactics from a theological standpoint?

“The Koran leaves no room for doubt. It is Allah’s will that we switch to a back three with attacking wing-backs.”

“Sacrilege! The divine formation is 4-2-3-1, and eternal damnation awaits the infidel who dares propose the use of a false nine instead of a traditional centre-forward!”

The real problem Britain faces is unlicensed fades - this is a true social crisis that must be stopped. Unlike, say, UNLICENSED CHILD SOCIAL CARE WHICH HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND IS BANKRUPTING COUNCILS AND DOING *THIS* TO VULNERABLE KIDS:

From the BBC article "Why illegal children's homes are being paid up to £2m per child by councils", May 2026:

The bungalow doesn't look much like a children's home. A sheet of privacy film wrongly placed outside a window is peeling. Inside, the wallpaper is flaking, carpets are frayed and doors are broken. The children's home is unregistered and therefore illegal but the provider is charging a council elsewhere in the country £13,000 a week to care for a vulnerable teenage girl. She requires the support of three full-time members of staff. There are no books, toys or games.

Just a few miles away, another illegal children's home is being run from a council house. Its tenant is subletting the property to a company that is also charging a different local authority thousands of pounds a week.

I think Hunter S. Thompson's column in the immediate aftermath pretty much nailed it www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. Osama bin Laden may be a primitive "figurehead" -- or even dead, for all we know -- but whoever put those All-American jet planes loaded with All-American fuel into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did it with chilling precision and accuracy. The second one was a dead-on bullseye. Straight into the middle of the skyscraper.

This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.

Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy.
OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing.

The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators.

The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy.
