This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war.
Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.

Janice Turner in the Times, serves it cold to Sally Rooney.
"Rooney’s work brims with jaded ennui: achievement is empty, love problematic, sex just a serotonin blip before postcoital gloom. Beautiful World, Where Are You? whines the title of her third novel. I’ve met young Ukrainians under nightly Russian drone attack who find more laughter and joy in life than her privileged, Mogadoned nihilists.
The longing to feel something — anything — defines her characters and her own life. But now, at 35, Rooney has found meaning at last. The cause of Palestine is “to join in something greater than our selves, to participate in some small way in a struggle for human liberation”. Gaza is not about the suffering of a people but Rooney’s self-realisation."

If you are an acclaimed, voice-of-a-generation novelist there are infinite practical ways to deploy your fame and money to aid Gaza’s hungry, injured and displaced. But Rooney has chosen one that gives her the ultimate prize: pain-free public martyrdom.

My dear Stephen,
How lovely to see you marking the sixtieth. One of the darkest days in our history, etched in the memory of the nation, a community of such strength. All true. And all of it happening to somebody else.
Here is the part your tribute left in the drawer. The tribunal found the Coal Board wholly to blame and said the disaster "could and should have been prevented". The Coal Board then demanded £250,000 from the disaster fund to clear the tip that killed them. The fund, raised by public donation for the families, handed over £150,000.
Your party's government applied the pressure, in secret. George Thomas objected, then folded, and leaned on the trustees until they folded too. The Charity Commission sat on its hands. Nobody was prosecuted.
It took thirty years to give it back. In July 1997 Ron Davies, your party's first Welsh Secretary of that spell, returned the £150,000 without interest and without inflation, and conceded the demand should never have been made.
So yes. Remembering is lovely. Your lot billed the bereaved for clearing the mine's own tip.
Twenty three likes. Five retweets. And looking more like your father every year.
Do carry on, pet.
Well said, Winston.
I went on @BBCNewsnight and enraged all the usual radical-left loons stating these simple facts:
~1.85m foreign nationals claim £23 billion in welfare each year in Britain
~ 1.3m foreign nationals claim £11.9billion of Universal Credit
Britain must put the British people first
**Britains tax burden is the highest it’s been since the War (1948 to be exact)**
If you want to lift people up, you have to create wealth. You have to incentivise work. Which means tax them less.
Anyone who runs a business knows this.
Since then, far-left X has launched a series of ad-hominem attacks. Some even saying these ideas are “extreme far-right”
None of them have addressed the substance of my arguments.
Instead they are trying to shame me for being in one of the most successful bands of last 20 years, whilst ignoring that I have one of the biggest independent politics podcasts in Britain.
And ignoring that I’ve generated 10s of £millions in wealth and taxes for the economy, created 1000s of jobs, and built several successful companies.
Likewise they think that I might be anything but immensely proud to be associated with my own dad, one of the most successful businessmen and generous individuals this country has produced since the War, and his association with GB News, officially the most viewed and trusted news channel in the country.
He’s a hero.
Thanks to Newsnight for having me!

As France is burning, I keep thinking of what the UAE Foreign Minister said a few years ago 👇
He accurately predicted this.

Yes, womanhood includes every single woman. Kardashians, lesbians, even women who don’t want to be considered women. It just doesn’t include men.

His latest in a long line of misjudgments.

The biggest interferences in the Brexit referendum were:
1. Project Fear, led by a Canadian Governor of the Bank of England and enthusiastic globalist, who'd prefer nations didn't exist.
2. A Remain campaign lavishly funded by the EU and several global donors.
3. A President of the US, Obama, who stated Britain wouldn't get a trade deal with the US if it left the EU.
4. A mainstream media overwhelmingly pro-Remain, including the BBC, ITV, C4 and Sky.
All worked in favour of the Remain vote.
Shall we *now* talk about Russian interference?
