Lügenpresse...
Panic about Islam in Europe is spreading. Yet the continent faces no Islamic takeover, no mass radicalisation of Muslims and no erasure of its culture. The real danger is different bit.ly/4xferTy Illustration: Peter Dench

If this lady were not blinded by activism, had read what happened to leftist Iranian women in the 1970s who told people to oppose the Shah by backing Khomenei, she would be alive today. Learning by (others) doing?
BREAKING: Greek police just arrested a 26-y-old Afghan asylum seeker for the murder of the 38-y-old Scottish woman Elisabeth-Jane Ross. He murdered her because he thought she was attempting to convert his girlfriend to Christianity. Elisabeth-Jane worked for a Christian NGO aiding refugees in Athens. On July 18th, a homeless man noticed a foul odor coming from a derelict building in Athens. Inside, he discovered Lisa's body wrapped in cloth and stuffed inside a suitcase.

Says a woman who blocks free speech on her twitter account. Obviously the abject wickedness of twitter free speech forced her hand...
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too. A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.

A tweeter who narrates fairy tales.
The Russians launched a MASSIVE ASSAULT on Kherson The moment the convoy of boats reached the middle of the river and started approaching our shore, a series of explosions erupted. One after another, the landing craft were torn apart in midair. Flames, debris, screams. The boats began sinking right before everyone’s eyes. The water boiled from the detonations. Those who managed to jump overboard did not survive either. Our guys gave them a “warm welcome.” A combination of naval drones, remotely controlled mines, artillery, and FPV drones worked perfectly. The Russians didn’t even manage to land. Their boats were turned into scrap metal at the bottom of the Dnipro River.

Quite the man is our @JohnCleese Has profited greatly from our world, and instead of consuming its freedoms and leaving a craphole for the next generation, he defends them. Rule Britannia!
Sorry to have to say this... The British do not like the kind of diversity that intends to take over Britain and kill any infidel that does not convert to Islam Is that hard to understand, silly little man ?

In the one corner, a British patriot. In the other, a hard-left Moslem member of parliament with an apparently dramatic improvement in financial fortune.
BREAKING NEWS: Zarah Sultana's emergency bid to halt the NCA probe into her explosive wealth surge was brutally DENIED by a High Court judge — no hearing, no mercy, doors sealed shut in seconds — as the hard-left MP faces an imminent subpoena storm, while Rupert Lowe fires off: “This isn’t justice delayed — this is corruption EXPOSED, her £40M+ mystery fortune is about to unravel the whole progressive facade”, millions shocked as hidden financial trails linked to overseas accounts surface, plus the judge’s chilling final remark leaked: “No more games”, and Lowe’s vow to keep ambushing, digging deeper and pushing the full story viral until every pound is accounted for and Westminster faces total accountability chaos!

Find a British politician who both defends Ukrainians and British girls from the respective rapists, and that's the one to vote for.
The grooming gangs scandal in the UK enjoys establishment cover-up because the repercussions would sweep away so much of the rot that has reduced the country to the parlous state it finds itself in today.

Making Japan Great Again 👍
Japan's PM, Takaichi on Ukraine: "Japan’s position of standing with Ukraine remains unwavering. I would like to express my renewed respect for the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people, who have stood united under President Zelenskyy’s leadership. I appreciate hearing that Japan’s support has been useful under the extremely severe energy situation caused by Russia’s attack on infrastructure. Japan will continue to cooperate towards realizing a just and lasting peace." Thank you, Japan 🇺🇦🫶🇯🇵

One of those things which is true, but many would not say so because the "wrong" person said it. If only it had been Obama!
MACRON & BRITAIN: DON’T EXPORT YOUR SUICIDE TO ISRAEL! “Talks with Hamas fell apart on the day Macron decided to recognize a Palestinian state… those ‘symbolic’ moves made it harder to get peace and harder to get a deal with Hamas.” — @SecRubio Both Britain and Macron’s France have invited Islamic takeover at home — crime, parallel societies, no-go zones. Now they want to force the same suicidal policies on Israel. One day, it won’t be Israel begging Europe for help. It will be Europe begging Israel for a lifeline.

Some comment by Christopher Hitchens comes to mind...civilisations can only be stormed by the barbarian if someone gives them the key.
It was great to celebrate Eid with British Muslims from across the UK. Eid Mubarak!

Probably the most odious person in the whole of the twitter landscape. Imagine attacking the leader of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, and that's what you have here. Baseless American truther ammorality.
Don’t care - go cry to Europe, Sniffy the Clown.

This then the uglier end of the spectrum.

Out of nowhere, these "Ukraine experts" appear, tweeting relentlessly anti Ukrainian material, day after day, all day every day. This is the least nasty comment from this "expert." They just know UA so much better!

Probably easier to read when passions have subsided, but the message is clear: Ukraine has to get on with whoever is in the White House.
Whoever has been advising Zelenskyy should be fired. The strategy for dealing with Trump and U.S. politics has been disastrously bad from the start. Here are 5 key steps he should take immediately: 1/ Stop the press conferences. Take a step back, evaluate what went wrong, and recalibrate. Trump wants public praise—find a way to deliver it without looking weak. It’s not too late. 2/ Speak to U.S. right-wing and alternative media. Vogue covers may be prestigious abroad, but they hold little weight in the U.S. political landscape. Zelenskyy needs to engage the media that influences Trump’s base. 3/ Engage Turkey. Turkey has been vocal about Ukraine’s NATO membership and is open to sending peacekeepers. It’s Ukraine’s best counterbalance to Russia and a key player Trump respects. 4/ Address the “Democrat asset” narrative. A major chunk of MAGA world believes Zelenskyy is a tool of the left. Ignoring this won’t make it go away—it needs to be confronted head-on. 5/ Enforce total transparency on aid. Every press release should include hard numbers. Americans are skeptical of where their money is going, and the only way to win trust is with relentless transparency. This is salvageable, but only if Zelenskyy stops playing the game on his advisors’ terms and starts playing it on America’s.

In which an armchair critic harps on for days on end about how jolly awful Ukraine is. And on the anniversary of the invasion to boot!
