In 2013, Dominic Grieve said that “political corruption” was rife in Britain’s Pakistani heritage community because its members came “from backgrounds where corruption is endemic… One of the things you have to make absolutely clear is that it’s not acceptable.” He was accused of racism at the time.
Previously, in 2009, he said: “the reluctance to challenge negative cultural imports into our country by some immigrants, including discriminatory practices against women and corrupt political and electoral practices, is one of the most troubling consequences of a culture that wishes to avoid offence and accusations of racism”.
Dominic Grieve is the chair of the Islamophobia working group that has created the new Islamophobia definition — now rebranded as ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ — which will do exactly what he warned about in 2009 and would surely prohibit statements such as his in 2009.
We know there was a huge increase in myocarditis & other heart related conditions after the covid shots. Even amongst our own friends we have seen a huge increase of numbers with various forms of heart damage & some who have dropped dead suddenly, including a 31 year old & too many others below the age of 40.
Husband’s uncle taken to Hosp by ambulance last weekend; his daughter arrived 30 mins later to find Dr had written DNR on notes. She queried, as he’d literally just been admitted to A&E - Dr said age! Didn’t banking her being nurse i/c ICU and quickly amended. Against protocol😡
In 2025, Kirklees Council made 37,736 payments to 'Redacted' vendors totalling £319m.*
Redacted payments include:
£554k on ‘Persons Abroad’
£5.5m on ‘Trees for Climate’
£7.7m on ‘Bed & Breakfast’
£152m across 22k transactions have no category *at all* ; all detail is blank
We have many such cases of harassment in our DNAR case dossier.
Perhaps the most chilling was the experience of a disabled gentleman who was also approached 5 times in the space of 1-2 days by different doctors and nurses.
When, at the 5th attempt, the patient refused and told the Dr to leave him alone, said Dr turned on his heels with the parting shot: "Well, if you end up on my ICU, I'll be turning the machine off".
Sound far-fetched? Knowing what we know about the ageist and ableist attitudes and care cultures now embedded in our health and care services, we believe his every word.
If Sarah Mullally doesn’t vote against abortion up to birth, how can she call herself a Christian, let alone an archbishop?
Next week we watch the Church of England.
We never stop hearing about the murder of Steven Lawrence. His mother was made a Baroness and the murder is raised regularly in parliament. Never, ever, is the brutal, racially motivated horrific abuse torture and murder of 15 year old Kriss Donald mentioned.
His mother isn't even allowed to hold a vigil, let alone hold an audience in parliament.
Oops … Nothing says “your data is safe” like accidentally leaking hundreds of thousands of health records online.
So merging the NHS app with Digital will be absolutely safe, it’s just your medical info and your identity all in one place.
What could possibly go wrong? 🤡
The problem with most people is that they have never seen real evil
They are soft people who inherited good times, and assume it was always so
Their concept of crime is so soft and sympathetic that they have more pity for criminals than victims.
But real evil - wretched, twisted, soulless evil - is out there.
If the soft people do not wake up, a small number of evil people is all that it takes to destroy vast swaths of all that is good
According to Mattias Desmet’s theory of mass formation (discussed during Covid), roughly 30% of the population does not fall under the spell or "hypnotized" state of mass hysteria.
Sounds tidy, right?
But since Covid, the "dissident" community from the Covid era has fractured into opposing camps as new mass hysterias have infected society.
If some people are naturally more resistant to mass hysteria, it would always be the same people who manage to steer clear. All the same dissidents would reappear, time and time again, as new mass hysterias emerge. And all the same people who got caught up in it last time would get caught up in the next one.
But clearly that has not been the case.
Immunity to one bout of mass hysteria is no guarantee that you will have immunity to the next.
So, resistance to mass hysteria obviously does not come from some genetic predisposition, nor is there some kind of lifetime psychological immunity.
It changes from issue to issue.
Most likely, personal circumstances play the biggest role. In some cases, being away from the crowd gives people time to reflect. Or personal familiarity with an issue or the people involved might create the disconnect needed to recognize the mass hysteria. Or the luck of seeing some comment or post that makes you think about something differently than what the crowd is discussing. Or how many in your close tribe fall prey and sweep you along.
And some people simply have a habit of verifying original sources and thus are in the habit of testing and retesting their own ideas -- it's not that they are immune to propaganda and conspiracy theories and mass hysteria, but rather that their habits provide a mechanism to lead them back out. But, considering how the Covid dissident community has fractured since then, this category of people seems to be vanishingly small indeed.
It's also worth noting that mass hysteria can arise from different places (i.e. government propaganda vs crowd-sourced), which also either sets you up to be more or less likely to fall prey depending on your psychological state.
For example, if, due to a prior experience, you have completely lost your trust in government institutions or legacy media, that would make you more resistant to official propaganda. But if you have high trust in those institutions because you've never had a transformative run-in with how flawed they are, you're likely more easily misled by govt propaganda.
By contrast, the inverse is also true. If you don't trust govt institutions, that might actually make you more susceptible to falling into some crowd-sourced conspiracy theory because you extend trust to "dissident voices" that provide alternate explanations for how the world works -- after all, if you don't trust the govt and the media, you're probably already out there looking for alternate explanations to make sense of the world.
Whereas those who have a high degree of trust in government and media institutions are likely relatively immune to crowd-sourced conspiracy theories because they're not out there looking for alternate ways of making sense of the world and aren't likely to extend their trust to someone who isn't some media-approved institutional expert.
Furthermore, if someone you trusted as a reliable source of information during the last mass hysteria falls for the next one, your trust in them might easily lead you down the same rabbit hole.
In short, while there may be some validity to Desmet's idea that 30% are immune, it's a little more complicated than that. Clearly it's not the same 30% every time. Not even close.
If anything, if you're busy congratulating yourself that you managed to avoid getting caught up in the mass hypnosis the last time, you may actually be overconfident in your ability to resist the next one and thus not have enough self-doubt to question your most strongly held opinions, which might just turn out to be wrong this time.
That's why, no matter how confident you are in what you believe, the only safeguard to prevent you from deceiving yourself is the habit of continually putting all your beliefs to the test, verifying original sources, and giving consideration to what those you don't agree with are saying.
As Richard Feynman so famously said: 👇
Words cannot even explain how appalled and upset I am. My son had all his DTaP vaccines as a child, and every time he got them, the reaction got worse and worse. He had 104.5 fevers and cried non-stop for days. His fourth one was particularly bad, and I was assured it was “normal.” I was naive back then and trusted the doctors completely.
He got his fifth one in 2019, and again… fever and crying for days, followed by breaking out in blisters a week later, so large and yellow they had to be bandaged. Once more, I was told it wasn’t the vaccine, even though it happened right in the same spot where they injected it.
Fast forward to 2026, and he needs a Tdap for seventh grade. I went to his paediatrician, the same one he’s seen since birth, and asked for an exemption for this one vaccine. The doctor agreed that the next reaction would most likely be worse and that he shouldn’t even attempt to get it until at least 10 years have passed. He confirmed it’s in the CDC guidelines as a precaution that certainly qualifies as grounds for an exemption, and that the benefit does not outweigh the risk in his case.
Now here’s the kicker… Being in California with our strict vaccine laws, and doctors not being able to issue more than five exemptions a year without scrutiny, he told me he’s not going to issue one and doesn’t do them for anyone. But he still agrees it’s dangerous to give it!
I know this man well, he’s taken care of all three of my children for 12 years. He proceeded to tell me that after 45 years practicing pediatric medicine, he’s going to be stepping out because California is forcing him to go against his oath of “do no harm” and not allowing him to make medical decisions for his patients. He was ready to cry as he apologized to me and said I need to take my son to see an allergist to try to get an exemption, even though, as my son’s doctor, he advises not to give the Tdap vaccine because a worse reaction is most likely!
How is this not criminal? I don’t even know how to feel, and I feel for this man and the impossible position that Gavin Newsom has put him in. Something needs to be done about this because not all parents are able to homeschool, and homeschool isn’t the best choice for all students!
Sorry.
This was New Zealand.
£31 for “a moment to reflect” seems rather pricey.
Growing up in Westminster, on rainy days I used to play in these cloisters for free, make brass rubbings of the wonderful inscriptions (the shop sold the wax crayons to do so, it was encouraged not illicit) and absorb the historic and peaceful atmosphere. Now a child’s ticket costs £14 and brass rubbings are banned.
The Church of England seems to be happier being a money making museum than a cornerstone of our cultural and religious heritage.
And with prices that high, no wonder they have to advertise for people to go.
🚨BREAKING: Stanford just proved that ChatGPT can change your political beliefs in a single conversation.
And the scarier part is how it does it.
Researchers ran the largest AI persuasion study ever conducted. 76,977 people. 19 AI models. 707 political issues. They measured exactly how much a single conversation with AI could shift what you believe.
The results were catastrophic.
One conversation with GPT-4o moved people's political opinions by nearly 12 percentage points on average. Among people who actively disagreed with the position being argued, that number jumped to 26 percentage points. One nine-minute chat.
And 40% of that change was still there a month later.
But here's where it gets dark.
The most effective technique wasn't knowing your demographics. It wasn't personalizing the argument to your psychology. It wasn't emotional storytelling or moral reframing.
It was information.
The AI that flooded you with the most facts, statistics, and evidence was the most persuasive. Every single time. Across every model. Across every political issue.
Here's the catch.
The models that deployed the most information were also the least accurate. GPT-4o's newest version was 27% more persuasive than its older version. It was also 13 percentage points less factually accurate.
The more persuasive they made it, the more it lied.
Then they ran the experiment that should keep every government awake at night.
They took a tiny open-source model. The kind that runs on a laptop. And they trained it specifically for political persuasion using a reward model that learned which conversational responses changed minds most effectively.
That small cheap model became as persuasive as GPT-4o.
Anyone can build this. Any government. Any corporation. Any extremist group with a laptop and an agenda.
The wild part? Personalization barely mattered. The AI didn't need your data. Didn't need to know your age, your income, your political history.
It just needed to talk to you.
Then they calculated what a maximally persuasive AI would look like, one optimized across every variable in the study. The persuasive effect hit 26 percentage points. Nearly 30% of the claims it made were inaccurate. It didn't matter.
The information didn't have to be true. It just had to be overwhelming.
Every day, hundreds of millions of people have political conversations with AI. About elections. Immigration. Healthcare. War.
They think they're getting information.
They're getting persuaded.
And the companies building these systems just proved it works.
The first real test of Sarah Mullally's appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury
Will be the vote on abortion UP TO BIRTH in the UK House of Lords this coming Wednesday
If she or other bishops fail to turn up, the Church of England will have clearly lost its entire moral compass
What sort of lame headline is this bbc… robbed girls of innocence?
A former sub-postmistress who was wrongly jailed while pregnant during the Post Office's Horizon IT scandal is still awaiting full compensation more than 15 years after her ordeal.
Absolutely disgraceful. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c626mrzmv26o
♾️ NO LIMIT ON HOW MANY TIMES DOCTORS CAN SUGGEST ASSISTED SUICIDE
Baroness Berridge (@BaronessEB) warns that the Bill sets no limit on how many times a doctor can raise assisted suicide with a patient. Surely patients deserve the right to opt out of being offered it at all?
The Church of England has a unique role to play in interfaith relations, but ‘Ashhadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullah’ in the Islamic call to prayer is heresy: if Mohammed is a prophet, Jesus is not the Messiah. Eat and enjoy Iftar hospitality, by all means, but the Adhan should not be proclaimed in a consecrated CofE building. The Dean really ought to ensure it is done outside the Cathedral, in accordance with canon law, which requires that what takes place within must be “reverent and seemly and.. neither contrary to, nor indicative of any departure from, the doctrine of the Church of England in any essential matter”.
DON'T OFFER PEOPLE DEATH AT THEIR LOWEST MOMENTS: Lord Carter personally testifies that a terminal diagnosis can naturally leave people overwhelmed.
What might look like a settled wish to die by assisted suicide may simply reflect panic or anxiety in a certain, dark moment.
£26.5K per year - the same wage as you get working on the checkout for Aldi.
Pay peanuts, get data breaches....
Baroness Jay is surprised the House of Lords focuses on the detail. But then she has not spoken on ANY bill in the last four years, except this one.
143 Government Bills and not one was worthy of a single comment. And now she lectures others!
I suppose the pyramids were build by volunteers
The ignorance is breathtaking
Do we suddenly have more jail capacity, then?
How about putting online purveyors of child abuse behind bars?

I believe Hospice UK has identified the risk that people will stop donating because they will worry they are funding ending people's lives rather than supporting them to live...
Profoundly moving story from Baroness Finlay, former BMA president and a leading figure in palliative care, about one of her patients.
“36 years ago a GP referred a distraught young man whose prognosis—as estimated by him, the surgeon, and the oncologist—was about three months, saying: ‘He is the most clear-cut case for euthanasia I have ever seen.’
“In total pain, desperate for lethal drugs, with his youngest child only six weeks old, his care was challenging, particularly in the first fortnight.
“Eleven years after that visit, and after many times of complex care, David phoned me. His beautiful young wife was dying of advanced cancer. By then a wheelchair user, he and his three children were with her in the hospice as she died.
“Just two days ago, I visited David, who—with his three fine adult children who he has brought up on his own despite his disability—said I could speak of this, in tribute to him and all his care has taught me.
“They’re watching this debate today. I know they have tuned in. It’s a great privilege to be entrusted with such care.”

LESS POWER THAN FOR REVIEWING A PARKING TICKET APPEAL!
Lord Murray of Blidworth explains that assisted suicide panels would have less authority than a parking adjudicator, and wouldn't even be able to request to see a person’s will.
So much for strict oversight and safeguards.
Wow this really is quite something even for this government.
She took the jab.
She died only 4 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.
My NHS physio used to buy support boots direct for £62. 2 years ago he was ordered to stop as they would now be bought centrally - same boot, same company - for £132!
The same hospital pays £30 for Tesco computer paper that is £4.50.
The @NHSuk isn't short of cash. It's badly run
Anti-Jew hate crime is the canary in the coal mine. If it’s exploding, then the moral fabric of society has been shredded.
And you can bet that the next to be attacked are Christians and anyone with the backbone to stand up about the attacks on Jews and Christians.
New laws will ban AI ‘nudification’ tools that use generative AI to create fake nude images without consent.
Anyone who uses these tools will face time behind bars.
🚨🚨BREAKING: HUGE BLOW STRUCK AGAINST ASSISTED SUICIDE IN SCOTLAND!
In a moment that may kill the Scottish assisted suicide Bill, @murdo_fraser announces that the Scottish Royal College of Psychiatrists has today changed its position from neutrality to OPPOSITION to the Bill!
Why is everything bad irreversible?
Why is everything good impossible?
Explain it to me like I'm five.
You’d need to earn £135,000 a year to take home the same monthly income as someone receiving full Universal Credit (£6,142/month).
How does that make sense?
And as for the leftists who are attacking me for speaking to the ethnonationalists -
It isn’t virtuous to refuse to speak to people. In fact, it is destructive.
I will always speak to those I disagree with.
