You cannot fix a broken culture with more rules. It will still be the same broken culture interpreting those rules, so you'll still end up at the same destination.
To "save democracy" you have to win the culture war.
All other alternatives lie outside of the democratic process, and those come with their own sets of problems.
@hughlaurie’s calculation:
“I want to express sorrow but not be rejected by my woke peers who might think I’m supporting Israel’s right to exist.
Peer acceptance is more important than the justice of the cause for my career.
So here’s some posturing to keep everyone happy.”
In fairness, people who get their news from Al Jazeera and like sources have a consistent fantasy in their head in which Jews suddenly swarmed into "Palestine" kicked out the Arabs, and were given a state by the British. They are entirely ignorant of these basic facts:
(1) Jews purchased every bit of land they owned in 1948, immigrated gradually and with great resistance by local Arab leaders, even during the Holocaust; 1/
My Jewish friend told me she went into Oxfam in Brighton to complain about this offensive poster. Staff were hostile, refused to give the name of the manager and threatened to kick her out of the shop. I can see why the former boss says Oxfam has a “toxic antisemitic culture”.
I feel sick.
This is what the Islamic Republic are doing to Iranian Women right now.
Notice the “feminist” organisations are silent?
Notice the “pro-Palestine” mob are silent?
“Iranian police officers are gang-raping imprisoned female protesters and then cutting out their uteruses to cover up the horrific torture – before shipping their lifeless bodies home to their families, according to a shocking new report.”
Unreal things that leftists invented a new word for to push an agenda:
Gender
Sexual orientation
Islamophobia
White privilege
Climate crisis
Institutional / systemic
Intersectionality
Cultural appropriation
Microaggression
Lived experience
My truth
Apple has just published a paper with a devastating title: *The Illusion of Thinking*. And it's not a metaphor. What it demonstrates is that the AI models we use every day - yes, ones like ChatGPT - don't think. Not one bit. They just imitate doing so.
Let me explain: 🧵👇
I genuinely don’t see antiZionism as a political feeling. It’s a hate movement.
I love Canada for 3 reasons:
1. Amazing landscapes
2. Wonderful people outside the metropolitan bubbles
3. It makes the UK look sane by comparison.
This part amused me on several levels:
“Migneault, who has since become bald….”

The right response from @hughlaurie would have been something like this.
"I am mourning my beloved friend, who was a proud Israeli Jewish producer, and I will not submit to the cranks online who have been subverted by a deliberate KGB active measures campaign to invert the meaning of the word 'Zionist'.
Nor will I submit to the carefully managed and well-funded campaign by the Al Thani crime family in Doha, through the use of global PR companies, to dupe Hollywood into taking part in a campaign against the Jews.
Of course I am a Zionist, because I believe in Jewish emancipation. Why on earth would I believe that Jews alone should not be sovereign in their own land? Now the rest of you bugger off and let me mourn my beloved friend in peace."
It’s fascinating to me that there’s nearly 100% overlap between the people who think “GoF research created a virus which killed millions” and those that think “AI is about to kill us all.”
Qatar, Already the Largest Foreign Financier of US Universities, Tripled Its Funding in 2025. The Hamas-friendly Gulf state increased its funding from $396 million in 2024 to $1.2 billion in 2025, an unprecedented spike

I wish you hadn't felt the need to deny Zionism, as if it were a crime, which bigots and worse believe it to be. Apart from that, condolences.
what do you think being a ‘zionist’ is Hugh? You dont have to pass a political purity test on this.
Restore Britain will establish an independent commission to review all SAGE communications, predictions and data used to justify lockdown.
We will release data and communications, unredacted, and prosecute anyone who deliberately distorted the data to push a pro-lockdown agenda.
There was no pandemic. Therefore no need to incarcerate the elderly.
Its odd when you have your own scientists here in the UK who sacrificed their careers for speaking out that you'd want to employ overseas experts.
You are dangerously out of touch on what actually happened.
Based on thousands of victim testimonies and detailed medical record reviews from across the country, we have uncovered the most common tactics used in the deadly COVID hospital protocols.
This was the hospitals’ modus operandi during COVID — a systematic, coordinated approach that turned patient care into patient harm.

Hospital Playbook | Betrayal Project USA
https://betrayalprojectusa.org/hospital-playbook/
Refused Outpatient Treatment — Family doctors, clinics, urgent care physicians refused to see patients or provide early treatment, instructing patients to “do nothing” until oxygen levels dropped requiring hospitalization.
Isolation tactics — Upon being admitted to the hospital victims were denied access to family, friends, advocates, pastors, priests, or clergy. Even in death, last rites and family access were refused.
Denial of rights — Admission and consent forms were left unsigned or marked by staff as “unable to sign.” Staff falsely claimed “verbal” consent to treatments was provided.
No informed consent — Victims/POA received no information on risks or side effects of medications, intubation, or procedures as evidenced by no formal documentation in medical records and testimony by family or survivors.
Vaccination Discrimination — Victims faced mockery, verbal abuse, and neglect based on vaccination status. Often receiving lower levels of care and different treatment options.
Rapid oxygen escalation — Oxygen levels increased aggressively (often via BiPAP), causing anxiety and lung damage that led to mechanical ventilation.
Forced protocol drugs only — Victims were limited to heavily incentivized and harmful hospital protocol drugs: Remdesivir/Veklury, Baricitinib/Olumiant, Tocilizumab/Actemra — often forced even when refused.
Denied other treatments — Requests for vitamins, Ivermectin, Budesonide, Hydroxychloroquine, etc., were refused or ridiculed. Families were falsely told these were “not FDA approved” or “ineffective.”
Gaslighting — Constantly told they would “die without compliance to protocol” or ventilation; families and victims told repeatedly they were “a very sick woman or man.”
Communication cut-off — Call lights, glasses, phones, or devices were removed or placed out of reach. Families were falsely told patients didn’t want to speak.
Refusal to communicate — Doctors, nurses, and administrators ignored family and advocate inquiries, often disregarding valid medical and durable POA documents.
Sedation and overdose — Heavy use of Ativan, Midazolam, Haldol, Lorazepam, Precedex, Morphine, and Fentanyl, impairing breathing and leading to overdoses requiring reversal drugs.
Non-emergency ventilation — Victims were pressured into early or unnecessary ventilation “to let the lungs rest,” despite no emergency need.
Manipulated DNR orders — Pressure to sign Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders, misrepresentation of Do Not Intubate (DNI) as DNR, or outright falsification and disregard of existing directives.
Starvation and dehydration — Victims were denied food, water, or any nutrition and given diuretics or laxatives instead.
Physical and chemical restraints — Used without legal justification or proper documentation.
Bathroom denial — Forced catheterization or use of rectal tubes without need or consent.
Neglect of basic care — Hygiene, oral care, bathing, grooming, and dirty linens are often ignored.
Dehumanization — Victims described as being treated like animals, stripped of dignity.
Intuition of wrongdoing — Families and victims overwhelmingly felt “something was terribly wrong.”
End of Life Care pushed — Pressured into palliative care, comfort care or hospice early on; often covertly ordered.
Security enforcement — Police or security used to enforce isolation and institutional policies; families threatened with arrest when advocating for their loved one.
Refusal of new doctors or facility transfer — Denied requests to change doctors or transfer hospitals; rapid decline or hastening of death when transfers were attempted.
Secondary infections — Hospital-acquired infections like Sepsis or MRSA; severe wounds, injuries, necrosis, blood clots and pressure sores developed.
Unqualified or transient staff — Treatment by foreign, travel, FEMA, or inadequately qualified medical personnel.

This is getting pathetic. Now that it’s been pointed out that he himself agitated for Covid authoritarianism, Ivor Cummins—who insists the entire debacle was purely top-down—claims that, ackshyually, he wasn’t really supporting lockdowns or masks… he was just playing 4D chess.
Two years on, I still can’t get my head around the fact that adults treated children like this, nor that most people still seem relatively unperturbed by what was done.
As of yesterday afternoon, this was the waiting room at the ER of Elmhurst Hospital, portrayed in the press as apocalyptic epicenter of the virus.
