The Charity Commission has opened an investigation into the mosque at the centre of the row over a 14 year-old autistic schoolboy who brought a copy of the Quran into school. This follows a complaint the Free Speech Union sent to the Charity Commission on Thursday asking it to investigate the mosque which was the setting for what amounted to a show trial of the boy’s mother a couple of weeks ago. The Times has more:
A mosque involved in a row about a Quran damaged at a school is being investigated by the charities watchdog.
Four boys at Kettlethorpe High School in Wakefield were suspended last month after allegedly causing “slight damage” to the holy text and police recorded it as a “hate incident”.
The local mosque, Jamia Masjid Swafia, hosted a meeting of parents where the imam said Muslims would not tolerate disrespect. He added that anyone who resorted to threats “is not truly following the teaching of Islam”.
Suella Braverman, the home secretary, said the meeting “looked more like a sharia law trial, inappropriately held at a mosque instead of a neutral setting”. The mother of the boy who brought the Quran to school also addressed the meeting and said her son had received death threats.
The Free Speech Union has asked the Charity Commission for an inquiry, claiming the imam’s comments breached “good community relations”.

Haven’t civil service payouts always been an issue (except for civil servants)? Is this supposed to distract from the PPE VIP lane stories or influence civil service behaviour?
If there’s a desire to reduce spending, ending military support for the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel might be a good starting point.
What would be the likely outcome of the U.S. and Britain ending support for Ukraine and Israel?
Who cares?

Expensive family-size coffin which you won’t get to use if you happen to go shopping on the wrong day.
Doesn’t bother me! I’ll go out with a bang, not frightened of death because I’ve lived life! I witnessed death many times it’s nothing to be afraid of!
Have you been under threat of CBRN armed ballistic missile attack when the sirens go off?
Yes, most of my childhood was spent being terrified of nuclear war! Now I’m really not wasting anymore time fretting about it!
If you don’t want to fight in Western Europe you should care.
We may well need to fight in Western Europe but its not likely to be against the Russians.
Who are you suggesting, then?
Why? Do you think fighting in western Europe will have any effect this time?
None! If it happens it will happen, Bang!
Israel unlikely, Ukraine possibly for the US and UK although for the UK government, getting them all killed first is likely preferential to losing face after all the encouragement to keep going.
If Russia prevails over Ukraine they will soon go after another of their neighbours.
if Hamas etc stop fighting there will be peace but if Israel stops fighting there will be no Israel.
Why would Russia go after neighbours unless NATO makes it a necessity?
Why would they want the burden of controlling hostile populations along with all the migrants and the radical LGBTQ+ community?
If the Russian regime really wants to destroy the West, they can do nothing. Contrary to that, they have been warning of the degradation in the West for years.
They’ve already been through the Communism-thing and it didn’t work out but if at first you don’t succeed, go West and try again.
That’s funny because, during a 28 November 2023 speech at the World Russian People’s Council, Putin defined the concept of the “Russian World” (Russkiy Mir) as “all other peoples who have lived and are living in [Russia],” geographically defined as what belonged to Ancient Rus (Kyivan Rus), the Kingdom of Muscovy, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the contemporary Russian Federation, which suggests that Putin was broadly including parts of eastern European states such as Poland and Romania in this conception of the Russian World.
Probably includes the Baltic States as well, maybe even bits of Finland where Putin has also said that he foresees ‘problems’
No doubt, if you lived in any of those countries you would be unlikely to have so much confidence in Putin, his ‘little green men’ and their future designs……
Interesting one about the dreadful Ms Blanc and how white men are viewed in society;
”While it may once have been scandalous for employers to exclude white men from their recruitment process, fast forward to 2023 and most hiring panels appear to have decided it’s riskier to include them. Infuriated by the failure of equality to produce equal outcomes, our liberal culture demands a bogeyman, and in the straight, white male, it found the pantomime villain of its dreams. Whatever your grievance, the patriarchy will shoulder the blame because any alternative culprit is simply too ‘offensive’ to countenance—no matter how well the facts support their claim.
Consider ‘misogyny’ for instance. I use inverted commas, because I’m not referring to genuinely abhorrent acts directed towards women (wife-beating, FGM, rape). I mean the range of behaviour that charlatan politicians feel comfortable speaking out about: juvenile banter. Irrespective of their political hue, awareness campaigns in Britain are now guaranteed to feature a white, working-class thug harassing women; a neanderthal, thankfully chastised and kept in check by a range of more enlightened non-white males. It ought to raise suspicion that everyone from Sadiq Khan to the Home Office is singing from the same hymn sheet on this. In fact, if Netflix ever releases a documentary on the grooming gang scandal across the northern towns of England, the likelihood of the perpetrators being played by white actors is a pretty safe bet.”

Speaking of white men, try and spot one in this short clip. I think this is France but if other countries did their own compilation would you see the same thing? Do advertisers hate white males? It’s bizarre when viewed like this;

Well this is big, and I hope also for a positive outcome. There are still loads of hostages in Gaza and those kids being held captive need to be returned as a priority. The ball lies in Hamas’ court now;
”Israel is offering to pause the fighting in Gaza for at least one week as part of a new deal to get Hamas to release more than three dozen hostages the terror group is holding, two Israeli officials and another source with knowledge of the situation told Axios.
Barnea presented an Israeli proposal for how to relaunch talks on a new deal to secure the release of a group of roughly 40 hostages, Israeli officials say.
During the meeting in Warsaw, the Qatari prime minister conveyed Hamas’ position that Israel had to stop its attacks before any hostage negotiations could begin, the Israeli officials and the source with knowledge of the talks said.
https://www.axios.com/2023/12/19/israel-offer-hamas-pause-fighting-hostages
Ahuh. And what does one do with Israeli intelligence, military and political leaders that wilfully allowed Israel’s 9-11 to happen? Or the active assistance and funding of Hamas in order to prevent a 2 state solution?
You might want to start with the right premise on what happened that day.
https://armageddonprose.substack.com/p/watch-israeli-government-propagandist
“The ensuing stammering by the propagandist did no favors to the Israeli position.
“It’s been two months, Tal. A lot of us have been asking this question repeatedly: how it’s possible that so many hours passed before this attack was contained,” Mika asks.
Specifically, it has been widely reported that roughly 7-8 hours (!) passed from the inaugural onslaught until the world-class Israeli military arrived on the scene in a country the size of New Jersey. Make that make sense assuming the national security apparatus was acting in good faith.
“This is a good question,” the propagandist starts. “And we are also asking it… we will share these answers when the time will come.”
Historically, this has been the line from the Bibi regime that has mostly gone unchallenged in the Western corporate media — although, notably not among the outraged Israeli populace itself.
(All of this “we need time to investigate” is merely code for “give us more time to figure out how to lie to you effectively, or else put it off until the news cycle is engulfed by the next crisis and moves on.”)
“But there has to be some immediate answer… It’s beyond a major failure,” Mika presses. “Physically to get to these victims and to this attack could’ve been minutes and it was hours.”
The propagandist stumbles through her tired talking points once more, which doesn’t deter Mika.
“That’s not an explanation,” Mika interjects at the end of the propagandist’s filibuster.
The whole exchange is worth a watch.
In her defense — to the extent government liars deserve any defense — the propagandist can’t come up with any kind of intelligible answer because it’s transparent as the waters of a crystalline Thai beach that there is no answer aside from that the intelligence services and military let it happen, which she is not permitted to admit on American television for obvious reasons.
Another interesting, and related, question is: why has the MSNBC dog Mika been unleashed by her masters on the Netanyahu government? This is a decidedly brand-new development.
The reason the press is being allowed to be critical of Israel as the slaughters continue is likely a combination of the damage to the democratic election hopes but also it adds to the weakening of the US unipolar system towards the globalist world order.

“Another heat pump myth has just crumbled”
This article does hint at the potential for TPTB to force the implementation of heat pumps if it does not work by voluntary means. And you can get some idea of the likely bully-boy tactics if you look at the current digital phone roll-out;
https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-12882535/BT-switched-digital-landline-experience-makes-fear-elderly.html?ico=mol_desktop_home-newtab&molReferrerUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fhome%2Findex.html&_ga=2.152174971.374197714.1702919701-563423902.1680660642&_gl=1*gbl3ac*_ga*NTYzNDIzOTAyLjE2ODA2NjA2NDI.*_ga_XE0XLFFF16*MTcwMzA1NDg0NS4yNDUuMS4xNzAzMDU2NTYwLjAuMC4w
When you see how they have gone about this digital phone roll-out you wonder if they will start to adopt tactics such as remove gas supplies from whole areas in order to force heat pump adoption. We were all urged to save Granny from Covid but now Granny can freeze to death and nobody will know because her emergency phone link no longer works due to the digital phone roll-out.

“The BBC’s hypocrisy is now clear for all to see”
Here’s an example: just look how many times the ‘Far right’ words are used in this one article! F-ing disgusting BBC!
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67762119
Having posted on the Westminster hall debate yesterday (petition: ‘There should be a parliamentary vote whether to reject the WHO’s IHR amendments.’), there was a zoom meeting with James Roguski last night.
Some interesting points were made:
Based on all of the above Monday’s debate was a serious form of gaslighting.
No wonder trust in politics is gone.
The only thing to do is to make people aware, consider writing to your MP.
I am interested in people’s take on all of this.
‘……further thought should be given of how to ensure full accountability of the WHO and its public-private partners during a PHEIC (Public Health Emergency of International Concern).’
https://opiniojuris.org/2023/02/27/the-proposed-amendments-to-the-international-health-regulations-an-analysis/
Very much my thoughts but a classic understatement. The WHO accepts private funding. Our parliament has to ensure full accountability of the WHO. Difficult to see how that can be achieved while the WHO receives so much private funding.

Stage 3, done on a global scale, would definitely be a catalyst for a controlled reset, and it’s seemed pretty clear to me for a while that social destruction is a primary goal. The weakness, however, is that stage 3 done on a global scale cannot be guaranteed to be controlled. If all the levers of power are known, and I think they’re pretty clear now, then they can all be destroyed – the politicians, the bankers, the ‘philanthropists’, MSM, Big Tech, Big Pharma i.e. all the elitist parasitic filth. We’d be far better off going back to candles and a far simpler form of life than we would continuing on our current trajectory.
I don’t think the point is for stage 3 to be global.
This just needs to happen in the US. Only a United US can really stop the globalist agenda in its tracks.
Most/many people are awake in the US, they are armed and they are trying to get a President to end the destruction of the country. They are not being allowed that.
I think that it’s too late anyway, but a Civil War is still possible.
Agreed – the next 12 months in the US will be very interesting.
There is no way the Deep State will allow Trump or RFK Jr or Vivek Ramaswamy to be elected President. They will do what they have to do to stop that happening, and I certainly don’t rule out assassination or stopping the Election from going ahead (by, for example, triggering a “national emergency”).
These actions to thwart the electorate (again) will quite likely trigger real insurrection behaviour. I think it’s also ripe for FBI style sponsored false flags from so called right wing extremists to activate martial law or some other actions like forced weapon confiscation and rounding up libertarian or other militias.
The new film coming up “Civil War” sounds like a predictive programming film covering this. Also an Obama production.
Given the current trajectory on fuel prices, ULEZ, EV-pushing measures and so on, the working class is set to expand mightily over the next decade.
Sir Keir is a genius! By expanding the ‘working class’ he’s guaranteed electoral success for the Labour party!
Er. Isn’t that how it works?
I’m surprised it’s as little as £40 per year per household.
In the above article we also find
I smell bulls*t. 400GW ‘could’ be generated. When it isn’t we have to rely on something else. Grid scale storage or rolling blackouts?
At the time or writing grid demand was a bit less than 44GW, so on the face of it 400GW should be plenty. As long as we don’t get a calm day or we can get the sun to shine on us 24hrs a day all will be peachy.
I note that we’re currently drawing 1.23GW from France – thank goodness they have spare nuclear power with which to bail us out.
I always thought Conservatives were against state-owned utilities but it’s okay if it’s the French state.
And here we were around 13:30. The stations in France are no doubt glad that there is spare demand from this side of the channel to allow them to run continuously. “Base load” is what they like on plant like that.
Police issue a non hate crime incident achievement sticker to Conservative MP
“The Daily Mail reports that Rachel Maclean shared the post, commenting “While the Greens don’t know what a woman is, my Worcestershire neighbours the people of Bromsgrove certainly do.”
Subsequently, ‘Melissa Poulton’ complained to police about it, accusing Maclean of ‘transphobia’ and prompting the action, which will see the MP’s name kept on police records.
Poulton, a biological male who identifies as a trans ‘woman’ is standing as a Green Party candidate in the upcoming election.
Here is footage of ‘her’ complaining about the incident.
This “man’ is a joke surely?:

“When people with advanced degrees assure us that “immigration is good for the economy” they’re surely talking about living standards? Otherwise, the assertion is almost trivial: as long as someone does one hour of work per year, and doesn’t stop anyone else from working, he has added to GDP.
But nobody really cares about the total size of the economy; what they care about is living standards.”
https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/is-immigration-good-for-the-economy
Noah Carl’s main underlying assumption here is completely wrong.
While the citizens don’t care about total GDP, it’s all their rulers care about, as it correlates 1:1 with their power and standing, especially international.
Hence the US elite is intent upon fighting even against mathematics now, by trying to do everything it can to prevent China from otherwise inevitably grabbing it’s No1 spot as per total GDP.
A US citizen knows that an increase in GDP/capita in China, India is also good for him, a member of the US ruling elite is convinced it’s bad for his and his lots power (often, the latter also foolishly regard the size of the total global pie as fixed and global economics as a zero sum game for the biggest slice of it and/or the pie already being too large).
So, our modern day rulers don’t give a fig about their plebs living standards/GDP per capita, as we have experienced for decades, never more and more obvious than currently.
Once you understand that, you understand US China policy, why Erdogan wants Turks to have even more babies and why our ruling elites wrongly claim that ANY immigration is good for the economy.

Denis Kucinich:
“True friends would have advised restraint and a path to solve the conflict, not accelerate it, as Israel has done. True friends would have led Israel to address the cause of Oct. 7.”
https://ronpaulinstitute.org/can-israel-survive-if-there-is-no-ceasefire/
“This massacre will only increase the desire of Palestinians for self-determination.
This war is not making Israelis safe or Jewish people safe anywhere in the world. It is widely viewed as being genocidal. The nightmare paradox is that through wiping out Palestinians in order to eliminate Hamas, Israel’s security threats will increase, endangering the survival of Israel itself.
I write this as someone who stands for the survival of Israel.”
“…A peaceful resolution isn’t impossible, it just isn’t desired…
It’s actually pretty simple. Once Israel ruled out a true two-state solution on the justification that doing so could allow Palestine to become a military threat, and ruled out a true one-state solution on the justification that giving equal rights to everyone would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish ethnostate, the only options left on the table were genocide and ethnic cleansing”
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2023/12/no_author/going-mask-off-about-the-two-state-solution-lie/
“There’s been a surprising number of recent Israeli government admissions that not only is a two-state solution not on the table, but that it never was.
Benjamin Netanyahu boasted at a recent press conference in Tel Aviv that he’s spent decades thwarting the formation of a Palestinian state, and that he is “proud” of doing so.
Netanyahu’s senior advisor Mark Regev told Piers Morgan that a true Palestinian state with its own military and true sovereignty was never an option for Israel, calling it “common sense” that Palestinians should at best have “less than a state”.
It would have been the easiest thing in the world for the Israeli government to keep up the generations-long lie that it had always supported a two-state solution but the Palestinians kept rejecting it, and claim that only now after October 7 has such a deal become impossible. But at this point in time Netanyahu is so politically desperate, and being oppositional to Palestinian rights is so politically popular in Israel, that these goons can’t resist telling the truth about themselves….”
““Keir Starmer ties himself in knots trying to define ‘working class’”. He looked like a startled rabbit staring into oncoming headlights. He sounded like Diane Abbott at her most eloquent.
