A headline BBC Indepth piece today – Why British Jews are experiencing their biggest change in 60 years. David Collier: In typical BBC whitewash fashion – the long 1700+ word article does not mention Muslims, Islam, Islamism anywhere (SERIOUSLY!!) – even though it mentions both Bondi Beach and Manchester. The BBC erases the biggest change…

Full thread: The Supreme Court spoke plainly. Sex in law means biological sex. Single-sex spaces exist to protect privacy, dignity, and safety. That ruling was unanimous, deliberate, and designed to end a decade of institutional confusion. It was not ambiguous. It did not invite reinterpretation. It settled the matter. And yet, months on, women are…

The Bronzefield Six, I suggested. OK, they’re not all at Bronzefield. Hunger striker Kamran Ahmed is in Pentonville. He’s interviewed (by phone) in the Sunday times today, in the most laudatory terms. Not a word is offered to counter his view of himself as a devout Muslim who considers his life a small price to…

Whenever they could, they took it off because they found it oppressive. If their parents found out, there would be consequences. I often helped…

Jonathan Glancey, at The Critic, on cooling towers: These awe-inspiring structures, each taller than St Paul’s Cathedral and three times the diameter of its inner dome, were what had caught my eye. Now, I knew where I was. This was Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, closed in September 2024 and the last of its English coal-powered kind. King Coal may have been dethroned…

Remember Chris Wiliamson? Mr Williamson was elected as Labour’s MP for Derby North in 2010 and re-elected in 2017 after losing the seat to the Conservatives in 2015. He stood as an independent in 2019 after being suspended by the party in a row over anti-Semitism. Antisemitism? Surely not. Daniel Sugarman: A reminder that the idea…
