The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossilโ€‘fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Donโ€™t know why Daily Mail have taken it upon themselves to put โ€˜rapeโ€™ in quotation marks alleged rape is alleged rape it is not alleged โ€˜rapeโ€™ no matter who the alleged victim is

We also welcome the fact that the target of anti-Muslim hostility within the definition is correctly identified as Muslims themselves, and those perceived to be Muslims โ€“ not the religion or institution of Islam. Such clarity is particularly vital to uphold the rights of former Muslims.

I think we've got to the right place on this: protecting individuals whilst maintaining freedom to criticise beliefs and ideas.

I do think however the Government, having gone down this route, have got the balance right. It is not so much carving out special protections for the religion which would be wrong but giving protection for those who may or may not practice the religion and I see nothing wrong in that

Cohesion strategy: Fine words on free speech โ€“ but still too timid on religion The Government's new social cohesion strategy contains welcome language on free speech and liberal values โ€“ but reveals a continuing tendency to pander to faith-based pressure. Read More ยป

The governmentโ€™s new social cohesion strategy reaffirms important liberal principles โ€” including free expression.

But it continues to carve out special protections for religion.

Circumcision classed as potentially harmful practice in new CPS guidance Controversial plans to class procedure as potential child abuse in latest guidelines for England and Wales dropped

Circumcision has been classed as a potentially harmful practice in new official guidance for criminal prosecutors in England and Wales.

This is a welcome move following multiple recent prosecutions for unsafe and harmful procedures.

Isnโ€™t it down on the bottom right hand side of the shot, passed the grassy bit near where it meets the water. The mute symbol moves up towards it. Looks like a kingfisher to me

Who think they can photograph others without their permission. I find it extremely rude, an invasion of privacy and just about the most โ€œunbritishโ€ thing you can do

Into their privacy and he was basically saying โ€œyou are in Britain now mate, British rules applyโ€ Excuse me, if anyone tried to covertly photograph or film me without my permission I would bite back and if they didnโ€™t like it I would smash their camera. One of my biggest bugbears is people

Saw a post yesterday on FB about an argument that had taken place between a GB News presenter and a Muslim family that were just out in the street minding there own business when this tit from GBN tried to photograph the women who were wearing burkas. They naturally protested about this intrusionโ€ฆ.

Wonder if such vicious slander will be condemned by the establishment the same way as it is when it's one of their own. Won't hold my breath. Britain is rotten to the core

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).

Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.

Citizens; heroes.
