Soldiers are everywhere, shooting in all directions. Israeli soldiers are shooting at the Al-Shifa “Headquarters Of Sunni Palestinian Islamic Terrorist Armed Legion (HOSPITAL)” in Gaza City. Israelis are shooting at Hamas terrorists emerging from the Hospital basement. It is possible that the doctors, nurses and patients are unaware that the Hamas HQ is under the building and without any entrance to the hospital above. The Israeli soldiers need to approach the hospital to throw grenades into the hospital basement. That is the only way to kill the terrorists without killing the doctors, nurses and patients in the hospital above the basement.
Brilliant, Pug! Thanks for this!
The last few statements by Andy Ngo are chilling!
Yet another reason never to re-visit Londonistan which is being so badly ‘run’ by an insignificant but expensive, foreign Mare.
The vast majority of whiteys on Saturday were arrested ‘to prevent a breach of the peace’. In other words, they hadn’t actually done anything at all – but they might upset the Muslims so they were arrested.
And there is the evidence beyond any doubt that Braverman was right and the campaign by the BBC was unfair and politically motivated.
Where were OFCOM ?.
In Crewe today there was a full letterbox Burqua clad girl/woman in the shops, not commonly seen here. My God, how jarring and inappropriate, in my opinion of course. This is Britain, England. I’m all in favour of freedom of expression, freedom to wear what they are comfortable with but is this oppression in reality? I wonder whether we’re being insulted, perhaps not good enough to be able to see a woman wearing Western clothes. Or it might be a form of arrogance. I find it extremely creepy.
Perhaps it was a man ?
And, to add to the madness in this country:
Just…..WHAT ??

This pathetic gimp, Mark Rowley, makes excuses for his “officers” not arresting these Muslim thugs when desecrating our sacred war memorials. I regard this as an act of cultural sacrilege. I think it’s an act of war.

How many are illegally here in our country ? How many are living here with student visas?
Perhaps they should be deported back to Palestine, the country that they love so much instead of fighting their wars in our country.

Labour’s shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves told the BBC: “Labour have committed to getting rid of the non-dom status. If you make your home in Britain you should pay your taxes here and under Labour you will.
Ha ha ha!
Beeboids, you really should get out more and find some real stories, not just speed-dial the usual suspects, prat around and fiddle the figures as you normally do.
Barry Gardiner says his £500K from Chinese spy is still his right?
It never occurs to her that the non-doms can leave.
Rob – strange mindset of red labour thinking that non doms will be tax victims like the rest of us – they’ll just move to friendlier regimes and do that 183 day thing to avoid being victims of the punitive UK tax regime …
More peaceful rioting by the far-left and the islamofascists last night. The Germans would have the riot police out by now, and even the cheese eating surrender monkeys across the Channel have been much more robust in their response.
Once upon a time someone in met plod would have noticed that vote and had the men to be ready for it – now it’s just a crap commissioner and ‘senior staff ‘ too thick to see it coming …
TOADY Watch #1 – your inexperience is showing Amol ….
Amol Rajan is paired presenting TOADY with Nick Robinson. Amol gets to do the ‘Big Interview’ as mentioned by Zephir above. Amol decides to try to outdo Meeeshall in the interrupty, talking over, thingy that Beeboids reserve for Conservative Party MPs, Ministers and IDF spokespersons, thus breaking the first rule of radio presenting.
James Cleverly was the victim this morning and he fought back quite well. I normally don’t bother listening to the ‘Big Interview’ or even much past 6.30 a.m. these days unless I drift off to sleep again. Today was an exception in that I heard a good TftD from a Rabbi (sorry forgotten name) which is usually followed by an interview with a Labour Party non-entity. Cannot remember who it was now or what is was about.
Anyway back to the ‘Big Interview’. It was interesting that Chris Mason, the BBC’s Political Editor, was brought on to comment on the hash that Amol made of the interview with James Cleverly. Chris Mason is rare among Beeboids in that he appears to try to be politically unbiased and balanced. Chris was far too polite to say to Amol “You made a right mess of that!” and instead talked up the possibility that any Rwanda-based legislation might founder in the House of Lords.

I’m not so sure I agree with your listening to the 0810 – which I tend to find unintentionally funny cos it has items on ‘free contraceptive pills for the sexually active ‘ or 1 million pound jabs for coloured folk with a touch of a genetic blood disorder ( full moon – stress – beware whitee ) … anyway … I think that both tha amol and comrade Robinson are on the white powder at 0300 to get them up – they are just not right – if you have experience of these ‘fired up ‘ people you’ll know the signs – meanwhile the bee lady dreams of Suffolk and the meesh whipping kafirs to death wearing her leather kit .. oo matron ..
According to the BBC the IDF are shooting up the Shifa Hospital. This BBC propaganda is contributing to violence and anti Semitism.
Douglas Murray cites sources which indicate that it has long been recognised as a Hamas base, even to house a torture cell.

Not BBC – but a bit of late night musing …. I was wondering around the ‘religious ‘ section of the Nat Gallery the other day – dodging the rug rats – and it set me thinking about the current mindset compared to back then . Back then the biggest fear was un-setting the All mighty and landing up being cast down into hell – so paintings got commissioned – cruxifictions – births – saints and lifts from the gospels …..
….. and that mindset is there again now – now it’s the green crap – and the need to Do Something To Save The Planet .
I think it’s the same fear mindset – one which makes no one happier – safer – better …. And cheeses a lot of people off – like me .
TWatO Watch #1 – Sarah, if you stopped talking you might hear the answers to your questions!
Another talkover session, this time with the Montacutie talking over a male IDF spokesperson, someone who had actually been inside the Al-Shifa Hospital. The Montacutie played a clip of Beeboid Lucy Williamson travelling to and then inside the Al-Shifa Hospital but Lucy said she couldn’t verify anything. At all. Whatsoever.
OK. Then its time to send Marianna Spring out to Gaza City. She will verify what the IDF spokesman said and Lucy couldn’t verify, despite seeing the discarded AK-47s. As the IDF spokesman said “It is the weapon of choice for a Hamas fighter.” The Montacutie was sure the hospital had been bombed and shelled but the IDF spokesman said “We knocked one hole in a wall” but Sarah had instead to believe Rushdi Abalouf and Lucy who couldn’t verify anything that she saw because she didn’t have her Verifying kit with her.
BBC: send Marianna Spring to Gaza! Lucy is a waste of money.

When I was very small, we had a neighbour who was a really funny, friendly, bald man, and loved everyone referring to him as ‘Copperknob’! He made the name up for himself.
He’d always start laughing and calling everyone ‘Bloodnut’, and for all that he was a hugely popular old boy, and we all loved him and his wife to bits!
So how about reviving the name to this – er – person…?
‘Copperknob’!
Our national broadcaster’s morals gets lower and lower each day. They are slavering at the leash to try to suggest there was no justification for Israel entering the hospital and now when the body of a hostage is found they try to hint she might have died due to not having her medication rather than mercilessly butchered by the sub-humans who captured, murdered and violated civilians from Israel with acts so vile that the World should denounce them.
I cannot express my disgust at the BBC weevils in strong enough terms.
To me they are the pit of humanity and that goes for all the pseudo politicians who are trying to push this putrid bandwagon of sympathy for the despicable animals in Hamas and their supporters in the UK of which I suspect there are millions now.
It is inevitable now that the UK in time will see these same bloody conflicts on our own soil due to the stupid decisions to import so many Muslims into the heart of our country., the only question now is how long before the killing starts.
Wherever Muslins live, killing starts….all over the World….Muslims only understand one thing…. Domination….
Doh, of course the police posing with flag video is #FakeNews
Why take low context tweets at face value ?
There’s a reason why no date & location are given
Paul Golding tweeted the same video back in August
so it’s a least that old
It seems to be PTI flag, Imran Khan’s political party in Pakistan.
Probably photo dates from Aug 14th cos that is the Pak national day
Yet when Golding tweeted it today, omitting all date & location contexts
loads of righties retweeted the video assuming it’s new.
Some stupidity assumed its a Palestinian flag
Quick end to interview, BBC style as Gazan man, allegedly speaks his mind about the resistance – Hamas.

bbc muzzies tumbleweed moment ?
the truth was out for a moment until the Al Jazeera muslim news channel shut it down very quickly mid sentence…..
“PURE RAGE Moment wounded Palestinian civilian rages Hamas are ‘hiding among us’ in hospital & tells them to ‘hide in HELL’
Besieged residents of Gaza are now taking out their anger on their Hamas rules.
The elderly man condemned the terror group for positioning itself in and beneath Gaza’s hospitals – as Israel has long claimed is the case.
In an interview with Qatar-run news channel Al-Jazeera at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the Strip’s Deir el-Balah, the wounded man told the reporter: “What is happening is a crime!
“Why is the resistance [Hamas] hiding among us? Why don’t they go to hell and hide there?”
The interviewer then seemed to cut the man off mid-sentence, turning to speak directly to the camera.
As he walked away from the conversation, the wounded man appeared to kick the floor and raise his arms in exasperation.

More money for the NHS please
“Doctor treated private patients while on paid sick leave from NHS.
A leading diabetes expert was caught treating patients at her private practice whilst taking paid sick leave from the NHS, a tribunal has heard.
Dr Ana Pokrajac, a consultant endocrinologist, undertook online private work with ten clients signed up to a London medical organisation, despite being off work from three hospitals.
The consultant had been allowed to work from home during the pandemic while colleagues continued to see patients face-to face on Covid wards, but she then took up to seven months taxpayer-funded sick leave.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service found Dr Pokrajac guilty of serious professional misconduct and dishonesty charges.
A disciplinary panel determined her fitness to practise medicine was not impaired and gave her a warning instead which will be on her record for five years.”

I don’t think it was very subtle but the Metropolitan police fell for it hook line and sinker.
Only hours after her sacking “Braverman pranksters” in appropriate dress and carrying flags etc were spotted climbing all over the Royal Artillery memorial at Hyde Park.
Almost immediately Police were on site and as BBC top talent Nick Robinson might remark “we are getting reports that”they were checking on the safety of such climbing, “others were saying” that the police called up bubble wrap teams to make the memorial a soft play area and given its November and quite a chilly and miserable evening, hot beverages were offered.
The whole stunt was organised to highlight that perhaps the police do play favourites after all! No arrests as far as I am aware.
SIR Mark Rowley , I have no doubt he has attended all manner of awareness courses and did very well on them, is sadly once again baffled and at a loss when it comes to understanding what powers he has to deal with such a problem, if it is a problem.
Well you have to take your hat off to a man who has risen so high without seemingly knowing any of the basics or having much or any grasp of the existing laws.
If he needs any help on what laws are available he can ask me through this site. I will ask my chum who is “smarter than the average bear”.
I think these “Braverman pranksters”may not have finished on the two tier policing wheeze.
Meanwhile….?
“Giorgia Meloni’s plan to send migrants to Albania does not break EU law.
Italy’s plan to send tens of thousands of migrants and refugees to Albania does not breach EU law, officials in Brussels have ruled.
Albania is not an EU state and so its rules on asylum seekers do not apply to the Balkan nation, the bloc’s most senior official on migration said.
Ylva Johansson, EU migration commissioner, said: “The preliminary assessment by our legal service is that this is not violating EU law, it’s outside EU law. EU law is not applicable outside EU territory.”
Ms Johansson’s remarks imply that the scheme announced last week by Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, and her Albanian counterpart, Edi Rama, could not be challenged before the EU Court of Justice.
Under the accord, the Italians have been given permission to build two migrant centres in northern Albania.
Migrants transferred to holding facility
Migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean in boats from North Africa will be intercepted by the Italian navy or coast guard and brought to the port of Shengjin, a holiday resort where the Italians will build a reception centre.
They will then be transferred inland to a large holding facility built on an old Albanian air force base next to the village of Gjader.
Around 3,000 a month will be processed – if their asylum applications are rejected, they will be repatriated to their home countries. The Meloni government hopes the system will be able to handle about 36,000 migrants a year.”
https://www.aol.co.uk/news/giorgia-meloni-plan-send-migrants-174923712.html?guccounter=1
Well, since all the Albanians are in the UK there’s lots of accommodation?

Something *has* to change
You appear to be labouring under the misapprehension Britain is a democracy when it is a far left totalitarian one party state.
Now you can only vote for one Socialist party although you can choose your representatives from that party in the way those in the German DEMOCRATIC Republic could or the DEMOCRATIC People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea).
The BBC is as truthful as Pravda translates “The Truth” ever was spinning a party narrative. The Police are now more like the KGB, the Stasi or the Gestapo, but the Socialists in power appear to want to use crime as a way to destroy society so they can “build back better”, but I ask you went did Socialists ever build anything let alone better than what went before?
Thoughtful
The British state – with all those made up traditions – with no value at all -apart from those in the trough – is very good at selling the lie of ‘democracy ‘… was there ever one ?( no ) it’s a tyranny where property rights can be removed – movement methods controlled ( ULEZ ) and taxes imposed without representation…..
I could not see a reason to ‘fight ‘ for it because of the corruption and threat of ongoing permitted – encouraged – invasion …

Couldn’t say it better myself:
“Over the past few days, British politics has unravelled so spectacularly that we can no longer kid ourselves we live in a ‘free country’. Or even a functioning democracy, come to that.
The week began with the sacking of an outspoken Home Secretary — nominally in charge of the police — because she had the audacity to insist the Met enforce the law without fear or favour and stop turning a blind eye to rampant anarchy and vile anti-Semitism on the streets of our capital city.
This was rapidly overshadowed by an unelected Prime Minister appointing as Foreign Secretary a former Prime Minister who resigned seven years earlier after his campaign to remain in the EU was rejected by the British people in a referendum.
Call Me Dave’s return to Cabinet came with a peerage, so there was no need to trouble the electorate over his appointment. Nor will he have to demean himself by being forced to account for his actions in the House of Commons. Or at the ballot box, for that matter.
Just as we were digesting that outrage, along came five unelected judges ruling that the Government’s plans to tackle illegal immigration were unlawful.
The deportation scheme may be bonkers, born of desperation, and apparently based on the old Beach Boys hit: Help me Rwanda, help, help me Rwanda.
But it is the policy of a Government which still has a huge majority.
Yet the Rwanda scheme was halted initially by a late-night injunction issued by an anonymous European judge and has subsequently been scuppered by our own Supreme Court.
So Rishi Sunak blaming it on ‘foreign’ laws is only half right. The final decision was taken by British judges sitting in London, in a building a couple of hundred yards away from Parliament.
They might just as well be on another planet. They don’t even speak the same language. Their decision was based on something called ‘non-refoulement’, which sounds like the kissing cousin of Gordon Brown’s famous ‘post neoclassical endogenous growth theory’, whatever that meant.
Apparently ‘non-refoulement’ is a principle of international law which prevents refugees being returned to any country where they may face persecution. The judges also decided that Rwanda is not a ‘safe’ country.
In which case, why does the United Nations itself process asylum claims in Rwanda?
Why was the last Commonwealth conference held in Rwanda?
And if it’s not safe, then why are Arsenal FC sponsored by the ‘Visit Rwanda’ tourist board? All of this, though, should be academic. In a genuine democracy, judges should never, ever, have the power to overrule Parliament.”

“None of this has happened by accident. What we are now reaping is the full-on, anti- democratic effect of the Blair Revolution, following the Labour landslide in 1997, which ushered in a government of lawyers, by lawyers, for lawyers. Don’t forget that Blair himself boasted that his proudest achievement in politics was the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into British law. (Left-wing legal chambers sprung up to cash in, most prominently Cherie Blair’s Matrix, which I dubbed Nonces’R’Us.)
It was designed to ensure that there could never be a proper Conservative Government in Britain again. If the Tories tried to bring in ‘Right-wing’ policies — such as limiting immigration, which Blair let rip by dismantling our borders — the law would be used to prevent it happening.
Isn’t that the story of the past 13 years of alleged Conservative Government? Brexit only scraped through, in watered-down form, following a series of legal challenges and may yet be unwound after Labour wins the next election.
Yesterday, I dug out a column I wrote in 2005, a few years after the yuman rites racket became law.
‘Those of us who predicted this act would become a charter for terrorists, criminals, illegal immigrants, malcontents and chancers have been proved right time and again.
‘As a result, we’ve lost control of our borders, thugs laugh in our faces, gangsters and paedophiles cop compensation for their crimes, ‘travellers’ colonise the Green Belt and terrorise sleepy villages.
‘But this isn’t a consequence of the Act — it’s the whole point. Those behind it wish to smash every British tradition and custom and destroy our ancient concepts of freedom and justice.
‘They are succeeding in replacing tried-and-tested common law and the rule of Parliament with laws made by Left-wing judges. Judicial activism has overthrown democracy.’
You tell me: which bit of that did I get wrong? Since then, every major institution in the land has been captured by the forces of wokery.
We now have a Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police who picks and chooses which laws he enforces, based on political expediency, pretending disingenously he doesn’t have the powers to clamp down on everything from Just Stop Oil headbangers bringing traffic to a standstill to violent racist mobs chanting anti-Semitic hatred.
The Prime Minister has nothing to offer other than impotent irritation. Whatever he says, there’s no chance of reviving the Rwanda scheme before the next election. The courts won’t let him.
Everybody back on the boats! “

One likes to joke that although in the case of: Volodymyr Zelensky (Telegraph); other spellings are available: Zelenskiy (Guardian); Zelenskyy (FT) apparently – perhaps until recently – other western policies rather than full support for the proxy war were not.

Riffing on the theme – If there were to be a box of Roses on the table in front of Starmer’s cabinet, at least he’s got rid of Diane Abbott, who would have eaten them all.
We do enjoy a Calm Down Dear every now and again. But we’re just as happy to dish out a Man Up Sir
Jake Humphrey I was bullied so hard, I still get triggered… I was bullied relentlessly at school – the social media criticism hurts… Former TV presenter has put ‘lads-y’ world of football hosting behind him to concentrate on his hugely successful High Performance podcast (Telegraph)
Our dead tree press all busy abandoning their newsprint in favour of podcasts this morning?
If – to make a point – the Daily Mirror may brazenly rehash the 60-year-old Profumo affair, and with a collegiate hat tip to our very own MarkyMark, resident news archaeologist hereabouts, then Mr AsI ought unashamedly to reintroduce the report: Was Keira really ‘bullied’ at school? Dyslexic schoolgirl Keira Knightley is condemned as stupid by her bullying classmates as she struggles with her lessons, but escapes her misery by becoming a movie star. This is the version of her childhood described by the 19-year-old actress in an interview to publicise her latest film, the £80million epic King Arthur… But it has baffled staff at her old comprehensive, who remember a gifted girl who was one of the top pupils in her year… They are “mystified and disappointed” by her account of life at Teddington School, on the banks of the Thames in South-West London. “It’s disappointing to hear she feels she had a hard time here,” said headmaster Richard Weeks.
“That’s not the Keira I knew of.” (Daily Mail, May 2004)
As always, do draw your own conclusions.

I’m not sure how much the poster to whom you refer reads the comments of others – so referring to him as the ‘resident news archeologist’ might get missed …he being busy putting up the daily repeat post about Chinese barry gardiner and the £500k Chinese bribe ….

TOADY Watch #1 – Nick Robinson sets Amol Rajan a good example
Whhooo Hhhhooooo! Damien Green MP really has been neutered by Kate “He touched my knee” Maltby and says that the UK will be behaving like a fascist State if it revokes our International treaties and leaves the European Court of Human Rights. Sir Simon Clarke MP (I think it was he) disagrees. “A (sovereign) country has a right to protect its borders.” Nick Robinson conducted the two interviews in a most non-interrupty, non-hectoring manner.
I hope you were listening Amol.
Funny how the likes of Damien , lillington and that muppet she put in the Lords – are rolled out by Mrs May – a sort of female Ted bitterness Heath – to rubbish desperate attempts by the outgoing regime to Do Something ….
… Mrs May will be even more bitter that Cameron got a ‘gig’ – but I suppose she’s building stash doing after din din talks before have to de corrupt herself to become a peer after being flushed away at the election ….
BBC top talent and “Ace reporter”Nick( I’ve seen the wallpaper)Robinson is anchoring the “Today show” this morning and is doing a great job, just the right side of hysterical.
My friends and I have started playing a fun game whenever he is on air. Every time he uses the phrase”some would say”(meaning ,unattributable, overheard on a bus,the tube, train , etc,etc,) you earn a point. When he says”we are getting reports”, (see above re:attribution)another point, you get the idea. Similarly ,there are points for spotting his ability to crow bar a reference to Man Utd into his performance. Bets can be made on which order he deploys these comments. I was disappointed that when he referred to the “Gaza massacres” his choice of words, not mine, earlier in this mornings “show”, that none of the casualties was “reported “as wearing a Man Utd shirt. But that might have crossed a red line regarding his prized impartiality or at the very least good taste.
This man is one of the BBC’s best , I do hope they are mindful of his mental health and are not putting him under too much pressure, his “performances” suggest he is straining to upstage some of the other “talent”.
Friend
I have much trouble with comrade Robinson …. And when I put ‘today ‘ on and hear him – I am instinctively forced toward the off button . ….
But his attitude it that of the enemy BBC – that slip about ‘Gaza massacre’ tells us the entire attitude – followed by bowen pronouncing – in effect – that the Islamic Hamas hospitals in Gaza have not been control centres for freedom fighters …..
It you’ve ever been to old Trafford as an away supporter – you can see why the likes of Robinson supports the failing ‘chequebook United ‘ —and why it has no heart – like the BBC
foyb, how about the standard Nick Robinson interrupty “Forgive me, ……” – that got to be worth five points, if not more.

“If you are not a muslim, pretend for a moment that you are. Listen to the following sermon from a ultra conservative Pastor in Tennessee and let me know how this might influence your interaction with Christians.”
Not the BBC …
When / if Hamas is destroyed – for the time being – Israel is going to have a hell of a job dealing with its’ failures of self protection … I mean think of it .. it allowed Hamas to grow – it allowed the tunnel network – it assumed the fence would work – it failed to see the attack coming – it failed to respond quick enough on the day ….
I’m sure the shame those who know they are responsible weighs heavily – and that their country will feel even more threatened than before …. How can it allow Gaza to exist ?
Flood the tunnels with bacon scents!
Fed, your last question first: Gaza ought not to exist, nor should the West Bank be in the hands of the PA/Fatah. Israel should have all the land that was gifted by God to the children of Israel, ie Jacob. You can read all about that in Genesis chapter 32. It could be argued that the Covenant that God made goes back even further, to Abraham at the start of chapter 17, again in Genesis.
I had an interesting encounter with a complete stranger a while back and he claimed it was American meddling that created the Palestinian enclave in Gaza. I wasn’t around in 1948 or 1949 so I don’t know about that. You could also argue that God has judged Israel for in 1947 driving the British out of Israel when we had the best interest of the Jews in our hearts since 1917. That said the mendacity of the UK did not treat the Jews in Israel well and the UN meddled even further. (Have just read up on some history here https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/conflict-Palestine)
It is a mess and it will not be sorted out until the Lord’s return.
BBC headline “Ukrainian men dodge draft in their thousands”. So, at long last BBC want to soften us up for bad news and to manage our expectations, that not all is going well on the Eastern Front.
The BBC manage the news to suit their own agenda, and whatever that agenda is, it does not have British interests at heart but globalist interests.
Yes mouse – so how does the narrative go ?
Ukraine being failed by the west with not enough kit
Lots of deserters from Ukraine military
Lots of figures starting to come out about ‘losses ‘
Reports of internal dissent over the war
Calls for resignation of el presidente
El presidente assassinated
Call for ‘peace talks ‘
Putin offers peace ….. with honour and money …
MSM have a better war now …lord Cameron to be £peace £ envoy

Once finance ( insurance ) is bigly affected by covid vaccine deaths then it might start being treated as a real ‘thing ‘ as opposed to the cancelling of those debating it ( Steyn ) …. But maybe big pharma will quietly buy the insurance industry off … if it can ….
Won’t it be something when policies exclude death caused by civic jabs ? – stick that in the narrative BBC …
We are the world leaders in Foreign secretaries …. “Around the world, Johnson, Britain’s gaffe-prone former foreign secretary,has in the past caused raised eyebrows and outrage with his outspoken comments.”

Two tier policing …
“Tyranny and the Rule of Law
Plato and Aristotle both developed important ideas about government and politics. Two of the many political subjects that these men wrote about were tyranny and the rule of law. Tyranny occurs when absolute power is granted to a ruler. In a tyrannical government, the ruler becomes corrupt and uses his power to further his own interests instead of working for the common good.
The rule of law is the principle that no one is exempt from the law, even those who are in a position of power. The rule of law can serve as a safeguard against tyranny, because just laws ensure that rulers do not become corrupt.”
https://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-26-1-plato-and-aristotle-on-tyranny-and-the-rule-of-law.html
Stressing moderation, Plato warned that “the excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction,” such that the “excess of liberty, whether in states or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.”
