It has occurred to me that certain cabals actually want a nuclear war, but I cannot prove that.
“Toad” is his right characterization. The fact is, that the “Free Speech Union” is part of the “controlled opposition” matrix: Breitbart, Toby Young, James Delingpole, Farage, Brexit Party, GB News, UKIP, Reform UK etc.
Anyone, or any organization, which adheres to pro-Israelism or pro the UK (or any other) Jewish lobby is contaminated and not worth taking seriously.
Here is Young, from 6 years ago:
“I’m currently in Israel on a press trip organised by Bicom — the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre. Bicom does a good job of getting experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to give talks to journalists and I’ve attended a few in their London offices. But this is the first time I’ve been on one of their legendary excursions to the Holy Land, which they organise about six times a year. In essence, you’re given a whistle-stop tour of the country while being briefed at every turn by senior ministers and officials on both sides of the divide. It’s seventh heaven for foreign policy nerds, but I also have another reason for being here, which is to weigh up the pros and cons of emigrating to Israel.
Believe it or not, my entire family is eligible for citizenship under the Law of Return because Caroline’s father is Jewish. And the idea of moving here is genuinely appealing because I’ve been fanatically pro-Israel since falling in love with the place aged 17. I had just failed all my O-levels and was mooning about feeling like an outcast when my father decided to send me to a kibbutz. It turned out to be the perfect antidote to my adolescent funk.
I found everything about Israel, particularly its origins, deeply affecting, and in spite of not being Jewish I felt as if I’d discovered my people at last. I was inspired by the example of pioneering Zionists like Theodor Herzl to take control of my own destiny. I would return to England, retake my O-levels, go to a sixth form and, God help me, apply to Oxford. And when it all worked out, I felt as if Israel and the wonderful example of its founders had saved me and I swore an oath that I would always defend the country from its detractors.“
[Toby Young, in The Spectator, 2018]
‘Nuff said?
I have just read the article, or polemic, written by one David Hansard (real name David Johnson, it seems). Basic premise— cut back on free speech (labelled “hate speech”) in order to protect (approved) free speech. I have heard that before…
Like any msm-approved figure, “Toadmeister” runs scared of the Jewish lobby. If they were to turn on him, that would be his fake “free speech” and scribbling and TV talking head career over at once.
Sam Melia and his wife Laura Towler are heroic.
As for that “David Hansard” (David Johnson) character, his background seems opaque. More from him:
“Permitting someone…”— that is the wrong starting point. Free speech on social, political, religious and historical topics, is a right, not a privilege granted by some “authority”, not something that should be licensed or allowed on application, or risked on pain of punishment.
Like many people, “David Hansard” seem not to really understand the idea of freedom of expression. He is all in favour of it so long as it does not cause “problems” in society (for those in power, or profiting by exploitation), or cause “divisions”.
In fact, the “divisions” in society are not caused by those talking about things, but by the underlying realities:
A subject close to my heart. After all, later this week a magistrate will sentence me for deemed breaches of the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, a prosecution procured by the malicious Israel-lobby pressure group (tiny but well-funded) which is pleased to call itself “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and which has been boasting online about how it has been trying to have me prosecuted for 7 years or more.
“Hansard” once again throws in a typical argument often seen or heard: Melia’s case was “extreme”, and most people need not fear persecution or prosecution. Yeah, right!
Presumably, “Hansard” meant to tweet that “that does not mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited“. His Freudian slip tells the truth, though, despite his intention. Every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. Melia’s case is a clear signpost.
Already, almost anything not laudatory, and said about Jewish or Zionist behaviour, is almost by default deemed “grossly offensive”.
Incidentally, I notice that “Hansard”, despite having been on Twitter/X since 2012, has only 461 Twitter/X “followers”. When a pack of Zionist Jews connected with the “CAA” had my Twitter account closed down in 2018, I had over 3,000 “followers”, despite my only following about 50 accounts, mostly organizations. If someone had 3,000 “followers” back in 2018, the same person has at least 6,000 now, usually.
I do not know who or what that “David Hansard” is. What is his locus standi to be published, and/or boosted by Toby Young etc? I have no idea. Well, there it is.
Speaking of Sam Melia and Laura Towler, their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has, as of time of writing, smashed through the £60,000 barrier and stands at £60,374, and still increasing.
I urge everyone to send at least the minimum (£4) and a message of support. Stick it to the System and the “usual suspects”.

“Walked into a restaurant in London’s Chinatown last night, While waiting to be seated, some drunken fool, a person I’ve neither met before nor interacted with, sitting with other drunken fools, looks up at me out of nowhere, and asks rather loudly– “Are you Jewish?”
I was Stunned. I wasn’t dressed in anything traditional, nor had anything indicating my faith. The fact that it’s a bizarre thing to ask, not this idiot’s, business, and just a weird thing for him to have done, I was just shocked – realizing that fairly a year ago he wouldn’t have had the gall to do that 1 million different responses raced through my mind.
And to my surprise, (and I’m sure to my Mom’s satisfaction,) the one I chose was to just turn to my friend, carry on talking – and ignore the sheer stupidity I encountered. No point in wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty & the pig likes it. My pride in my Judaism is not going to override my common sense. Wishing you all a lovely Sunday.“
Strange how Jews, or many Jews, find it absolutely insulting to be recognized as Jews (as does the one tweeting above, notwithstanding that he claims to be proud to be a Jew).
I have lived in a number of foreign countries, and would quite often be asked, unexpectedly, “are you [whatever nationality]?” I did not find it insulting (as a matter of fact, I was often mistaken for American or German anyway, as well as, on other occasions, correctly identified as English).
Jews are different. They seem to find it a deadly insult to be identified as Jewish, no matter what.
What can one say? Not much, since free speech is all but dead in England…
Only now, writing that, did it come to mind that I had such an experience when hitch-hiking, aged early twenties, going between Hammersmith Flyover in London and Herefordshire late at night. 1980, I think.
I was picked up by a large truck, and that truck took me most of the way. En route, there was the usual desultory kind of conversation. Eventually, the driver asked me where I was from. I replied that I was presently living in London. The driver then asked, “yes, but where did you originally come from? What country?”
It transpired that that truck driver thought that I was not English but something else, but he could not guess what.
Not sure why the driver thought that I was from a foreign country; maybe because I was learning Russian and German (part-time). In fact, I had that very evening come straight from a small Russian conversation circle in Belgravia (at the GB-USSR Association, a cultural and para-diplomatic body funded by the Foreign Office). Maybe that had slightly affected my normal speech, though it seems unlikely.
An interesting weapon. If it is as good as the Israelis claim, it would be very effective (for either side) in the Ukrainian theatre, but at present it is claimed (in the clip in that tweet) that Israel alone has it.
I don’t see Reform UK making much headway, despite the inadequacies of the main System parties. Well, perhaps I am wrong; we shall quite soon find out.
I used to think that NATO would stick together in the event of conflict with the then Soviet Union (and later the Russian Federation), but that was assuming that NATO’s basic posture would be defensive, defending Western Europe from Soviet invasion, or (later) defending NATO’s new front-lines in the Baltic region.
Now? I am not so sure, and Macron’s belligerence looks more like an unnecessary attack on the Russian front-lines in the Ukrainian theatre. Will other NATO states directly support an attack of that nature or support France if Russia attacked its armies? I am thinking “not necessarily”. I certainly cannot see the USA going that far. If it did, of course, it might lead to a Third World War.
Calls to mind a (literal) “blast from the past”:

The clip is worth watching.
[“Toby Young in a 2018 article: “I felt as if Israel and the wonderful example of its founders had saved me and I swore an oath that I would always defend the country from its detractors. In the 37 years since, I have done my best to keep that promise and been back several times to renew my vows.” Does anyone seriously think he would stand up for your free speech if you called out Zionist control in the West or Israeli war crimes?“].
What “founders” does he mean?
London. Zoo.
What will London be like in, say, 2034? Or will it have been wiped out by nuclear attack by then?

So what’s the plan? Depose the little Indian money-juggler, then…? Replace him with…?
Not that I oppose his removal in the slightest, but is there a credible replacement? Is there a credible English replacement? The only one that comes to mind is David Davis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician).
True, Davis is now 75, but he was fit enough to rescue someone from street thugs only a few months ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician)#Personal_life.
I expect that the rebel “Conservative” MPs have someone else in mind, probably one of the non-whites like Kemi Badenoch or Suella Braverman (or, even worse, arguably, the return of “Boris”-idiot).

I think it is probably only the mostly atheist, troublemaking, Zionist Pro Israel ‘Jews’ who find other people identifying them as ‘Jewish’ a problem. Sign of a guilty complex, perhaps?
REAL believing in the Torah Jews such as the Ultra-orthodox Rabbi Elhanan Beck who is a spokesman for the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta UK group don’t have any problem with a Gentile identifying him as Jewish not that he can exactly hide his devotion to the Jewish faith as he has a beard, wears one of those funny black hats and has payot (sidelocks)

Rabbi Elhanan Beck being a devoutly religious anti-Zionist Jew no doubt follows one of Judaism’s commandants to Jews ie that they should not rebel against the nations amongst whom they live. How many pro-Zionist, pro Israel Jews can honestly say that?

David Davis would NOT be a suitable replacement for the diminutive Indian despot and budding dictator. Mr Davis seems to be pretty enamoured with libertarian values which he showed during the pandemic and it is those values which belong more in the Liberal Democrats rather than a party which calls itself Conservative which have led the party astray from its true, historic mission with the inevitable result of today’s extreme unpopularity.
No, I would suggest Penny Mordaunt (polls showed in 2022 she was the most popular of the leadership candidates amongst ‘Red Wall’ voters) or Sir John Hayes who is one of the very few real Tories left and has the bonus of holding the safest Conservative Party held seat in Britain in South Holland and The Deepings:

David Ben Gurion who was the Zionist entity/state’s first PM and who was also an atheist ‘Jew’ like many Zionists are. In the picture that was taken on Israeli independence day, he, along with the other Zionists present couldn’t even be bothered to wear a Kippah!
Something he shared in common with that Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy, who has had his arse handed to him on TV interviews on the BBC ect.

The WORST replacement for the diminutive despot would be Boris Johnson. Johnson is severely damaged goods and has along with others trashed the Tory brand. Having him as leader wouldn’t necessarily bring back the lost ‘Red Wall’ voters and could drive away moderate Tories into the arms of the Liberal Democrats in prosperous ‘Blue Wall’ seats in Southern England like Windsor.
Out of the ethnics, Suella is probably best but she would have to learn to choose her words more carefully as PM than she did when she was Home Secretary.
It wasn’t necessarily the case she said the wrong things as Home Secretary but in that post you do have to phrase your points carefully.

It is a damm cheek for the USA to cut off arms to the Ukraine. This sad conflict is basically THEIR proxy war against Russia which has been going on since the uprising in Ukraine in 2014 and with THEIR perceived national interests uppermost in their minds.
Mind you, America has form for encouraging conflict in Europe. Before WW2 erupted, Roosevelt and his State Department behind the scenes helped to prod Europe into war.
That being said and with the sad fact that the USA doesn’t really care about Europe we in this Continent should take responsibility for our own security by involving us and the rest of Europe in a new security architecture for our Continent.

The division in Europe was once clear, and only slightly ambiguous. In the East, quasi-totalitarian control, limited human or civil rights, a rigid statist economy unable to satisfy the normal demand of much of the population. In the West, relative freedom, a largely private-enterprise economy, societies under law, civil rights, free speech etc.
Now, things are far less clear.

The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” cabal has, in the past, often demanded that those attending their (usually quite small) demonstrations in London wave Union Jack flags, and not wave Israeli ones, in an attempt to display “British” bona fides. About 99% of the attendees were Jewish, though. More recently, since Gaza was attacked, that has been largely abandoned, and the Israeli flags are now waved prominently.

This same group of troublemaking Zionist fanatic misfits then whinges about what they call ‘anti-semitism’. Well, if you passionately fly the flag of what undoubtedly is a FOREIGN state several thousand miles away to 99% plus of Britain’s residents then, frankly, what do you expect? You are giving the impression that a FOREIGN state is of more value in your hearts and commands more of your loyalty than the country you are actually living in.
This tendency is why any Jew in Britain who is concerned about ‘anti-semitism’ should NOT be a Zionist even at the best of times when the Zionist state is at peace let alone now. The fact is that having a state which goes out of its way to explicitly call itself ‘the Jewish state’ and calls upon the loyalty of Jews in the Diaspora is going to inevitably increase ‘anti-semitism’ in that Diaspora. The existence of the Zionist entity makes many gentiles view Jews living in the Diaspora as Israelis by proxy.
There were good reasons why Ultra-orthodox rabbis etc about 120 odd years ago or more viewed with alarm this development of Zionism amongst Diaspora Jews and condemned it as they could see that it would increase ‘anti-semitism’.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if there were to be a war between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (though thanks to this treasonous, anti-British ‘Tory’ government and their botched Brexshit NI isn’t exactly properly united with the rest of us) and the Zionist entity.
I suspect many of those associated with fanatical Zionist groups like the so-called ‘Campaign Against Anti-Semitism’ and other Zionist extremist organisations would cheer on the Zionist state whilst anti-Zionist Ultra-orthodox Jews like Rabbi Elhanan Beck of Neturei Karta UK would back us.
In 1947, Britain had its last true bout of ‘anti-semitism’ with anti-semitic riots taking place. That was due to Zionist extremists in the mandate of Palestine using vicious terrorism against British officials such as at the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem and the hanging of British soldiers in olive groves by Zionist terrorists. Former Israeli PMs, Yitschak Shamir and Menachem Begin were involved in the Irgun Zionist terror group which perpetrated those atrocities.

In Germany in the 1920’s and 1930’s there was a group calling itself the Association of German National Jews. It was as you would expect composed of anti-Zionist Ultra-orthodox Jews.
Zionism is a danger not just to Palestinians but to Jews themselves as it undoubtedly helps perpetuate and increase anti-semitism.

Thank you for that information, John. Perhaps you know this but there have been many cases (in different countries) where Jews were found guilty of supposed “Anti-Semitic attacks”. The aim of these “false flag attacks” was threefold. A) Generate among the Jews, particularly those more prone to assimilate, a stronger cohesion and herd mentality. B) Show the world that they are always persecuted and attacked and, therefore, deserve our sympathy and help. C) Last but not least, a way to encourage Jews to migrate to Israel, the “only place where they could be safe”.
