The PayPal Amendment

by Toby Young
30 October 2022 7:00 PM

As regular readers will know, I recently had a run-in with PayPal after the payment processor cancelled the account of the Daily Sceptic, along with the Free Speech Union and my personal account. After I kicked up an almighty fuss, all three accounts were restored.

However, that’s not the end of the story. PayPal has deplatformed hundreds of individuals and organisations who still haven’t had their accounts restored, including the U.K. Medical Freedom Alliance, a group that campaigns against vaccine mandates which is run by Elizabeth Evans, a contributor to this site. Why? Because PayPal routinely closes the accounts of anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy, whether about the mRNA vaccines or the war in Ukraine. We need to rein in these global financial services companies and stop them from engaging in this sinister new form of censorship.

Here’s how you can help to do that. Sally-Ann Hart, the Member of Parliament for Hastings and Rye, has tabled an amendment to the Financial Services and Markets Bill, which is currently at the Committee Stage in the House of Commons, to make it illegal for a financial services provider to withhold or withdraw service from a customer on purely political grounds. We hope the Government will accept that amendment, but to encourage it to do so I’m urging everyone who values free speech to email their MP using the Free Speech Union’s campaigning tool, asking them to tell their whip that they support New Clause 15 of the Financial Services and Markets Bill. (You can see the amendment here. It’s on p.20 and labelled NC15.)

This is a critically important battle. If this amendment isn’t passed, we will soon see the emergence of a Chinese-style social credit system in the U.K., except instead of ideological dogma being enforced by the Communist authorities it will be enforced by woke capitalist corporations.

My understanding is that cousin marriage is also common in some traveller communities. That the resulting children are seen as a blessing and spend all their time in hospital. Since they are a blessing they should be discharged so that they can be with their families who then may no longer see them as a blessing.

Needs to be banned also the sake of the unfortunate infants born with these hideous defects.

FFS the commie bastards are rarely slow to ban anything on various spurious grounds.

Here the moral and scientific/medical case is absolutely undeniable.

Ban it with immediate effect. If this business continues the perps must be advised that “free NHS ” services will be withdrawn for life.

These people are costing law-abiding British taxpayers an absolute fortune, they are usually incapable of work and live off taxpayers their whole lives as do the parents who bred them. This has to stop.

Enough.

I haven’t fact checked this but I’ll assume it’s true. That’s a lot of Muslim mayors, and 130 Sharia courts in the England!

https://x.com/HilzFuld/status/1912914814608810458

EDIT: Just fact checked myself. 8 Muslim mayors as of last year;

”In 2011, the United Kingdom saw the rise of a new wave of mayors – Muslim mayors. Born in a country where religious faiths have long been a divisive and contentious issue, the election of the first British Muslim mayors was a momentous occasion. It was a sign of progress and inclusion, the first steps towards a multicultural and diverse society. Since then, the number of Britain’s Muslim mayors has grown, raising the question: How many cities in Great Britain have Muslim mayors? The answer is that currently, there are eight British cities with Muslim mayors: Leicester, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Blackburn, Bradford, Oldham, and Tower Hamlets.”

Yep, some years ago I had a Pakistani colleague who was married to his cousin and they had a son with a serious congenital kidney problem.
There is a reason why both Judaism and Christianity bans the practice.

Since when? In 1837 Queen Victoria, for example, was not banned from marrying her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg, or wherever it was.

Yes, and just look at the current lot.

It’s apparently only Harry that is keen to diversify the gene pool. Perhaps because he is already from diverse stock, if you know what I mean….

If he was Hewitt’s, he’d be devilishly handsome rather than a ardmann creation.

Dunno. My parents are beautiful and I look like a deformed rugby ball from a certain angle.

Yes, the Government very belatedly recognised the consequence of the generational incestuous Royal marriages throughout Europe.

The late Queen Mother was the first example of a change of policy: Bertie was allowed to marry a non-royal since he was never going to become King 🙂 And then Edward VIII refused to play ball and suddenly we got King George VI and non-Royal Elizabeth.

With Queen Elizabeth II they reverted to cousin marriage, albeit 2nd cousins, once removed ….. and Charles is the consequence. ‘Nuff said.

Yvette Cooper to Decide on Tulip Siddiq Extradition Request

Siddiq could soon be reunited with her cousins in Bangladesh. This should be an interesting case of Kneel’s Two-tier justice.

Looking forward to this.

I live in leafy Sussex and even here you see pakistani parents walking with their disabled kids. It’s a far bigger problem than this research shows.

Until a credible figure is put on the cost to both the NHS and the DWP of birth defects and their consequences due to cousin marriage, this subject will be dismissed as bigotry by the usual voices on the left and in Westminster.

When this study first emerged, a figure of £2bn a year was estimated as the cost to the NHS of birth defects, miscarriages etc. You could reasonably double that today. The long term cost in disability support to the DWP would be an order of many magnitudes higher. That is the figure that’s needed to stop this dreadful practice.

The real problem is that is repeated down the generations. As a one off it is usually fine.

“For the time being, raising scientific literacy may go some way to curbing the practice.”

I doubt it. It will continue to be imposed since it keeps any wealth within the immediate family and facilitates continual immigration from the sub-continent to the UK …… and a subsidised life c/o British taxpayers.
