    The UK Government Just Declared War on Gab

    Gab says Britains ‘Ministry of Truth’, called Ofcom, has launched “a blatant assault on the principles of open discourse that define our community. They demand that Gab submit to their stringent censorship regime” “as a weapon to silence dissent, criminalize unpopular opinions, and ultimately extinguish your fundamental right to speak freely and openly” “We unequivocally refuse to comply with these tyrannical demands. We will not pay one cent. Gab is, and always will be, a bastion for free speech, headquartered in the United States and operating under the protections of the First Amendment. Our legal team has already delivered a firm response to the UK authorities, asserting our position that Gab operates outside their jurisdiction and will not be implementing their censorship mandates” “Gab remains a steadfast beacon of liberty” Christ is King: https://news.gab.com/2025/03/the-uk-government-just-declared-war-on-gab

    The far left nazi morons are even struggling with dates:

    “This fight, however, extends far beyond legal technicalities; it represents a dangerous precedent where governments feel empowered to weaponize legislation to dictate acceptable thought and speech across borders. The sheer incompetence displayed in their threats—demanding a response by March 16, 2025, to a notice sent nearly two weeks later on March 26, 2025—only underscores the reckless and overreaching nature of this authoritarian push. This is the chaotic face of tyranny, and we will not yield to it.”

    “We urge President Trump to tariff the UK into oblivion. We are using every possible avenue to get the attention of the federal government of the United States on this, including contacting the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Department of Justice.

    This assault is not an isolated incident; it is part of a broader, coordinated campaign against platforms that dare to champion free speech. We witnessed similar tactics back in 2018 when Gab was unceremoniously booted from hosting providers and payment processors for refusing to implement their subjective “hate speech” censorship policies. We stood our ground then, choosing principle over profit, and our resolve has only strengthened. Other platforms in the US are all facing identical strong-arming tactics from the same UK authorities, but we are speaking up about it and fighting back. The message is clear: comply or be crushed. If platforms like Gab are forced to capitulate, every online sanctuary for open dialogue will inevitably be bulldozed, replaced by sanitized, government-approved echo chambers devoid of genuine debate and different perspectives.”

      We are witnessing many signs of the reaction to our fascist far-left state.

      The American President has pointed it out specifically. Multiple countries have refused entry for our politicians because of the hate they want to spread when they are there. Now OFCOM are demanding information on dissenting Brits which will go straight onto a database of ‘targets’.

      The Nazis are well and truly back. This is how it happens. They don’t happen overnight : they get there in small steps. Just as we are doing.

      I wonder how many lists we are all on by now. I don’t expect anything will happen unless we do something which causes our name to be checked in a security database. Then we will get our special treatment.

      So basically we are safe until they have absolute power. We won’t get rounded up until they know they can get away with it.

      Southport and how quickly they were jailed was a taste of how well they are prepared already.

    More ‘general’ comment about this war from the BBC which doesn’t really say anything bad because they don’t want to offend the Muslims behind it all.

    But when Lammy (of all people) tells us this:
    ‘”Many have given up on Sudan – that is wrong – it’s morally wrong when we see so many civilians beheaded, infants as young as one subjected to sexual violence, more people facing famine than anywhere else in the world’

    Jesus H Christ – just look at what the BBC have been hiding from us because it doesn’t fit their agenda !. Those heinous crimes have ‘Islam’ written all over them.

    Like I keep saying, the BBC Lefties don’t care one bit what happens to anybody unless they can milk it for empathy and virtue-signal their compassion or use it to help their own extreme-Left global social engineering agenda.

    Once you realise that, you realise they are worse than the people they protect.

    Manchester Arena victim disgusted at prison attack
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg5qe6j01g6o

    What a ridiculous headline. The quality of BBC reporting has absolutely plummeted in recent years.

    I suspect the Commissars instructed a clone to write an article on this story with a human side full of empathy. Because that’s all the BBC is now. And this is all the clone could dig up.

    In an effort to make it more ‘official’, the clone has written ‘In his letter posted on social media, Mr Hibbert said: “Let’s call this what it is: a catastrophic failure of your duty to protect prison staff and the public from an unrepentant terrorist.”

    First it’s not a ‘letter’. It’s a social media post from one person.
    Second – he’s not a terrorist at the BBC. They absolutely refuse to call him that.

    Then the BBC inform us that ‘Mr Hibbert’ says:
    ‘”Review his prison privileges. Strip him of any access to areas where he can make or find weapons. Protect your staff. Protect the memory of those we lost. Respect those who survived.”
    “Because right now, it feels like you’ve forgotten us.”

    Complete nonsense on a par with the absolute rubbish the BBC repeat from the comedian Zelensky. On what planet do they think a relative of a terrorist attack should define prison procedure ?.

    A male clone again !. Well, possibly:
    thomas-mackintosh.jpeg.256x256_q100_crop-smart.jpg

    Looking at his other articles from muckrack, it’s quite clear now that the clones write about anything at all. It can be showbiz one day and the war in Ukraine the next. Which proves beyond doubt once again that they are just typing out directions from some central ‘agenda team’.

    I wonder who that team is. We are being socially engineered by a small team of people who we have no clue about who they are or their political beliefs. They hide behind the ‘quota’ employee clones.

    Sleepy Joe, the former US President has made an unhelpful speech. He has criticised the current US President, Donald Trump, for I think iirc, his cuts to the welfare Budget, echoing Labour’s cuts on this side of the Atlantic. Curiously, although Biden’s speech was headline News at 6 a.m. there is nothing on the BBC web-site about his speech. There was one criticism of former President Biden on TOADY; they suggested that Joe’s reluctance to stand aside from the Presidential race hurt Kamala’s chance of winning. Too late now. 🙂

    The bBC ran an article on th 6pm ‘news’ about jail sentences being handed out to those who may or may not have spread false stories about Russian forces in UKraine. The sentences were about 5 years and allegedly the law was being used by ‘neighbours’ to settle disputes. I heard you say etc. No great change then, the Russians have been at it for years.

    Let us move the narrative a little closer to home to where we are not used to these things. After the rioting starts the UK Government warns all its mates to delete posts that might be described as encouraging rioting and to capture evidence of anyone of the wrong persuasion who has not deleted their tweets and report to the police. Get the police to arrest as many as the prisons can contain and arrange with the judiciary to ratchet up the sentences.

    Bubble dwellers will be unable to see the irony.

    Not directly BBC but a piece from the DT about Two Tier Keir and his Two Tier Policing – it’s by Alison Pierson

    There is a reason some nicknames stick. That nasal knight who occupies the role of Prime Minister is “Two-Tier Keir” because if two sides indulge in poor behaviour, you just know he will support the side whose narrow political belief leads him to prefer one rather than treating both just the same. A brilliant Morten Morland cartoon from 2023 shows Starmer dressed in police uniform with the palm of his hand raised as if against an advancing mob. The caption has him saying: “STOP IT. SOME OF YOU!”

    This perception of bias is hugely damaging because it fixes the PM in the popular imagination as a duplicitous hypocrite who arrived in No 10 promising a “government unburdened by doctrine, guided only by a determination to serve your interests”. Whose interests might they be? You may well find yourself asking that question after nine months of our far-Left Government playing ethnic-minority favourites.

    We can’t help noticing that No 10 posts enthusiastically about every religious festival and tradition except what we might quietly call our own. The PM issued an effusive video about Eid Mubarak at the exact moment most families in the UK were marking Mother’s Day (no tribute for the love and care of millions of women who are the lynchpin of our society. Thanks, PM). While it was right and proper this week to highlight Vaisakhi, with Sikhs playing such a valuable, well-integrated role in British life, so far there has been a deafening silence about Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. The slight to millions of Christians is starting to feel deliberate. Don’t be too surprised this coming Easter weekend if Starmer pays tribute to the Haitian Voodoo community, extolling the multicultural joys of ritual sacrifice and drinking goats’ blood, while blanking our Lord, the risen Christ.

    People are not stupid; they can see what’s going on. Ray Connolly, a Conservative councillor and husband of Lucy Connolly, jailed for a hasty, horrible tweet after the Southport massacre of little girls, told me he went into a café in Northampton and got talking to a group of men who voted Labour at the general election. Ray was startled by the vehemence of their dislike for Starmer. When he asked why they hated Keir so much, back came the answer: “He’s not for the British.” It’s a simple, not particularly sophisticated sentiment, but it has the ring of truth, doesn’t it?

    To its eternal, two-tier shame, Labour had already rejected a national inquiry into the mainly-Pakistani-origin grooming gangs, the greatest scandal in our history no less. Last week, the Brummily-gurning Jess Phillips announced the Government was even back-tracking on its plan for inadequate local inquiries into those heinous crimes: an unconscionable betrayal of tens of thousands of white working-class girls by the MP for Birmingham Yardley who obscenely clings onto the title and perks of Minister for Women and Equalities.

    Starmer’s “government of service” has morphed into a government of self-service – do whatever it takes to prop up your Muslim vote. Two-tier Keir is not for the British; if it’s expedient, Labour will pander to the child rapists and sod the rest.

    Everywhere we look, we see the warped, anti-British discrimination used to prop up multiculturalism. It is pretty dumbfounding that a report this week by the Home Affairs Select Committee into the policing of last summer’s riots, triggered by the Southport massacre, has just declared that it found “no evidence of two-tier policing”. In fact, it said such claims were “baseless”, “unsubstantiated”, and ”disgraceful”.

    Funnily enough, those are the very words I would use about the committee’s laughable suggestion that our police, who increasingly see their job as defending so-called “protected characteristics” against white, straight Britons, are not guilty of two-tier policing. Just compare and contrast with the handling of the rioting in the Harehills area of Leeds last July (triggered by four children from a Roma family being taken into care) when vehicles were set on fire and the police essentially ran away, leaving the mob to get on with it. But that was forgivable because immigrants are allowed to have a reason to feel upset, whereas Lucy Connolly, the white, middle-class wife of a Tory councillor who lost a child of her own, is not permitted any context or mercy for her rage and distress.

    The Home Affairs committee says that “those participating in disorder” in the wake of Southport “were not policed more strongly because of their supposed political views but because they were throwing missiles, assaulting police officers and committing arson”. If you focus solely on the actual rioters, then they have a point. Quite rightly, the policing of physical violence and criminal damage was extremely robust, and lots of people were arrested to restore order.

    What the report conveniently doesn’t mention is how peaceful protest (holding up a placard like sweet grandfather, Peter Lynch, who later killed himself in jail) and social media commentary were treated as equivalent to the actual violence. Two-tier Keir was swift to promise harsh punishment for those feeding a “far-Right narrative” with “misinformation”. In practice, what “far-Right” often meant was people who simply didn’t believe the authorities when they insisted the unnamed killer had no links with terrorism and was actually a sweet choirboy born in Cardiff who had, quite inexplicably, happened on a Taylor Swift dance class and decided to butcher the infants taking part.

    As we later found out, every chief constable in the country, the Prime Minister and his deputy Angela “it’s not terrorist-related” Rayner were the ones guilty of misinformation. Details about Axel Rudakubana possessing an al-Qaeda training manual, having enough ricin under his bed to kill 10,000 people and being known to the Prevent anti-terror group, were deliberately withheld from the public – supposedly to comply with contempt of court law – with inflammatory consequences.

    Whatever that cross-party committee of MPs may say, two-tier policing definitely occurred after Southport because inconsistent standards were applied to the manner in which people reacted. There was complete disregard for the proportionality principle, which is the application of good old-fashioned common sense and discretion. Fairness didn’t come into it; this was a message being sent by a censorious Starmer, and police chiefs willingly followed the PM’s lead using ludicrously subjective “hate” legislation to criminalise ordinary people who were deeply upset by the mass murder of innocent children and vented their horror on the internet. The aim was not justice; it was to smother criticism and distract attention from another embarrassing failure of multiculturalism.

    The fast-tracking of defendants through police cells to the courts – almost all, like Lucy Connolly, were leant on to plead guilty – was another example of standard practice being adjusted, particularly when you compare it to the reluctant, notably lethargic prosecution of two Muslim men who were involved in a serious brawl with police at Manchester Airport. As one senior officer told me: “They attempted to cover that up, no question. It should have been an immediate remand in custody and charge, but instead they launched an investigation into who had leaked the CCTV footage rather than prosecute the offenders!”

    It was only after Nigel Farage threatened a private prosecution of the two men if the CPS didn’t pull their finger out that any action was taken. Unbelievably, the case is still not concluded while Lucy Connolly who, unlike some, did not kick a policewoman in the head, enters her ninth month in captivity and is even being denied time at home with her daughter and sick husband.

    (I was impressed when Kemi Badenoch spoke out on this with the ringing moral clarity so lacking in Two-tier Keir. “The bigger issue,“ tweeted the Tory leader, “is the perception of bias in the application of the law. Lucy’s sentence, disproportionately severe compared to those for actual violence in the riots and other contexts, suggests she’s being treated as ‘low-hanging fruit’. This perception is dangerous, fuelling radicalisation and threatening community cohesion.” Hear, hear!)

    One thing which I can exclusively reveal today is that according to a reliable police source, every police force in the country was on standby for a particular date on which ministers planned to finally release the truth about Rudakubana. Keir Starmer would pick his moment to reveal the appalling terrorism details, which he would have known about within hours of the teenage murderer being arrested. In the event, the news about Rudakubana’s identity was postponed, such was the official nervousness, and, when it eventually broke, it got rather lost in the fuss around Rachel Reeves’s first Budget. But we should never forget that speculating about such details landed people in jail who were not so very far from the truth.

    One other two-tier policing episode, curiously overlooked by the Home Affairs committee, was the officer in Stoke-on-Trent who, on August 3 last year, was caught on video telling Muslim demonstrators, “If there are any weapons or anything like that, then what I would do is discard them at the mosque. Don’t give anybody any reason to have any interaction with police, so if there are any weapons, get rid of them, and we won’t have to arrest anyone.”

    Can you imagine any circumstances under which the police would advise white rioters to stash their weapons in a church? Me neither. A white Briton need only use the wrong words, let alone a machete, and find themselves behind bars. What we are witnessing is what that senior police officer calls “different containment strategies for different groups”. More and more people are now openly dissenting from the “diversity is our strength” narrative – seeing their smallest, most vulnerable citizens slaughtered at a holiday club will do that to a nation – and the state has no clear idea how to respond. Terrified of civil unrest which they don’t have the numbers to handle, police continue to appease Islamist elements, looking the other way and pretending the problems created by a parallel society don’t exist while cracking down on the far larger, and therefore more threatening, majority group. What a doomed and delusional strategy.

    Two-tier policing exists. For the Home Affairs Select Committee to conclude otherwise, is baseless, unsubstantiated and disgraceful. A shocking 65 people a day are issued with a non-crime hate incident as the Government and police struggle to suppress opinions which are unhelpful to the official creed of diversity and inclusion. But that is not the religion of this country and, pray God, it never will be.

    Two-tier Keir may prefer to acknowledge any religious festival that isn’t a Christian one because he is “not for the British”, but I am and I do. There is a green hill far away. Without a city wall. Where the dear Lord was crucified. Who died to save us all.

    Whatever they try to do to us, the resurrection was and forever will be a love incident. Happy Easter.ENDS

    The Scunthorpe story has exposed the profound ignorance of MP’s and the commentariat about manufacturing. We shouldn’t be surprised because we all knew that knew nothing about it or many other aspects of how a country and society actually functions.
    The stupidity of the political class is openly on display. They make UK energy the most expensive in the world and wonder why our heavy industry can’t compete on world markets. They allow the sale of steel making to China and are surprised when the Chinese want to shut it down.
    The commentariat are equally unworldly. Even those who are anti woke and often on the right side of issues are totally out of their depth when it comes to the nuts and bolts of a functioning country.
    Rod Liddle for instance condemns the politicians and glibly says that the UK needs to start making stuff again. Brillo wades in with scathing criticism of the political class , focuses heavily on the betrayal of ‘blue collar’ by that class over the last twenty years and calls for more manufacturing jobs to be created.
    Both are right of course but they don’t realise how deep the damage that has been done is. ‘Making stuff’ as Liddle puts it requires lots of investment and recruitment of people with skills we no longer have , indeed we may not even have the people who could train these people in the skills required!
    It also requires cheap energy ,which currently can’t supply, it creates a lot of ‘ highly poisonous CO2’ which Miliband and Labour will find hard to swallow let alone breath.
    The damage that successive governments have done to our country in terms of industry is immense and cannot be undone in a few years, if it can ever be. The Re industrialisation that Liddle and Brillo are calling for will take decades.
    On top of all that there is the irreversible damage that mass immigration has done. Is it worth reindustrialising just to hand it over the Muslim medievalists?

      What politician’s don’t realise is how price sensitive trade sales of industrial goods is. We are talking about a few cents per tonne of steel for example, a small difference in price will result in purchases going elsewhere. There are other considerations of course like quality, availability, transport cost etc but our industries are hobbled by wildly expensive energy prices.

    Samantha Cameron: Chinese factories can be better than British ‘sweat shops’
    Cameron said her fashion label Cefinn is manufactured in China because British factories failed the audit
    Anita Singh 26 June 2020 7:27pm BST

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/06/26/samantha-cameron-chinese-factories-can-better-british-sweat/

    An audience member noted that “sadly there are sweat shops in the UK”. Asked if that was the point she was making, Mrs Cameron replied: “That’s what I’m saying, is that when we audited factories in the UK, they didn’t pass the audit. And that might be around health and safety [or] pay.”

    Mrs Cameron said she was striving for diversity in Cefinn’s workforce “and not just ethnic diversity – we have one man so I would quite like more men.”

      That means they despise the majority of the indigenous population. It’s as simple as that.

      They are in complete meltdown now with what is going on in the USA and in Ukraine where their ambition to be our globalist masters lies in tatters. So they are getting desperate. And when the Left get like this, they think their ideological end result justifies any price at all. Which is what concerns me most at this point in time.

    And, the one so fond of lawfare against Trump, get’s a taste of her own medicine:, all of a sudden they are “bullies”

    “Trump administration refers NY AG Letitia James for possible prosecution over allegations of mortgage fraud
    James is accused of listing a home in Virginia as her primary residence and listing her father as her husband on mortgage applications.

    New York Attorney General Letitia James has been hit with shocking allegations by the Trump administration, accusing her of mortgage fraud.

    In documents obtained by Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, accusing James of mortgage fraud Tuesday.

    FHFA Director William Pulte said in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that James appears to have falsified records to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms.

    Pulte cited a property in Virginia that James allegedly claimed as her principal residence and a property in New York she claimed as a four-unit structure instead of five, which he said could mean she was able to get a different and more favorable loan.

    In response, a spokesperson for James’ office said Wednesday morning that she has been “focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, especially as this administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution. She will not be intimidated by bullies — no matter who they are.”

    Fox News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News host Laura Ingraham the irony of James getting accused of falsifying records is “perfectly crushing.”

    “This is a person who prosecuted Trump for everything short of ripping a label off a mattress, and among the charges that were brought in New York, in just the civil but the criminal case, was making false or misleading statements to financial institutions,” Turley said. “As for James, if we apply the Letitia James standard that she created, there’d be little question here. This seems pretty straightforward.”

    He explained the Trump administration is saying this was not her principal residence because, as a New York elected official, she has to say her principal residence is in New York.

    And as usual we have the hypocrisy as they say maybe now is the time for politicians to stop with the divisive, inflammatory language…the BBC means of course those who say a ‘man cannot be a woman’…..however the mad rhetoric from the trans lobby gets a free pass despite its very violent language and indeed actual violence towards women…..and no irony that almost immediately the presenter read out a hysterical message suggesting Trans were now in serious danger and would be banned from all public spaces [lol…as Leo Kearse says…’It’s literal genocide of trans women’]…..complete rubbish and not a little bit inflammatory and mad but accepted as a credible comment.

    Naturally Husain herself was utterly devoted to impartial, news driven, public good broadcasting and never let her ego take over…nor indeed her desire to promote Islam via Today…which was her declared intent when she first joined saying that she wanted to use it to show how great Islam could be.

    Not just Today of course….Nicky Campbell is a classic example of someone in the job too long and who believes he is the show and too big to go.

    The BBC needs to move presenters on after a couple of years to bring in fresh blood and ideas and to stop those in place stagnating and getting bloated egos….move them on to get new experiences and perceptions rather than let their entrenched views turn a show like Today into the ‘Nick Robinson show’ etc. Of course it’s not just the BBC…it’s rampant across the media…Adam Bolton, Cathy Newman, Kay Burley, Jon Snow all had an over-inflated sense of their own importance.

    The BBC is always telling us that the prime benefit of the BBC is that it nurtures new talent that then goes out to feed into the commercial sector….so do it and get rid of the stale and stodgy prima donnas.

      Judging by the readers comments under his articles he is regarded by 50% plus as a fool. But this latest article is highly dangerous and I think irresponsible. Advocating a lowering of the nuclear threshold is insane.
      He does this because he writes that quote ‘ the Russian hordes are on the march’ and he thinks that the only way to stop them is to use tactical nuclear weapons.
      He and the rest of the retired ex military types who write for the Telegraph don’t seem to have any concern about the real and present invasion of our country both the illegal and legal one.
