I know people want him sent down, but I agree with Baroness Amos, Master of Univ, that George Abaraonye is allowed to hold abhorrent views and to express them. That is free speech. But he is not then free to be President of the Oxford Union, believing, as he does, that people

In Britain, we believe in freedom of religion, and freedom of worship. The Carnegie Library in Abergavenny is grade ii listed and has been empty for a decade. Muslims are currently meeting in the parish hall of the local Roman Catholic church, and would like their own place. The

This is a wholly inadequate response. I'm tempted to say that unless George Abaraonye is disqualified from becoming President on the grounds of bringing the Society into disrepute, I'll be resigning my membership of the @OxfordUnion. But I honestly think they wouldn't care, and

1. What are the borders of this Palestinian state? 2. What is the capital city? 3. What is its constitution or polity? 4. Who forms the government? 5. Who is its leader? 6. How ‘sovereign’ will it be? 7. How will this help ordinary Palestinians? 8. What about Israel's hostages?

I've just seen what Palestine Action have done to @Cambridge_Uni Old Schools. Grade I listed. Absolutely appalling vandalism.

Pakistan is a member of the Commonwealth, pledged “to promote, protect and respect internationally recognised human rights”. Their treatment of Imran Khan betrays these principles. As a possible candidate for Chancellor of @UniofOxford, he needs to be released and restored.

In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition

On #HolocaustMemorialDay I always remember Istvan Reiner, and I post this photo and say his name as I look into those wide eyes of innocence and that face of beaming joy. He had no idea of the hell that awaited, and was murdered just days later in #Auschwitz at the age of four.🕯️

I’ve just watched @Channel4News, in which @mattfrei, oh so casually, calls Charlie Kirk ‘far right’. That’s it, that’s all it takes: an authoritative declaration of fascism. Kirk’s views would be shared by millions. It’s such a shallow understanding of the political right.

This lovely lady — the wonderful Wendy Craig CBE — is 90 years old today.🎂🥂I'll be popping over to see her later with a large bunch of flowers. It's easy at that age to feel forgotten (her CBE was 20 years overdue). If you want to add your good wishes in the comments, I'll

This is an egregious breach of the statutory obligation upon schools to avoid political indoctrination and ensure the balanced treatment of contentious political issues (Education Act 1996 V.iv.406-7). Encouraging children to send Valentine cards to adult men is also a

Judge Margaret McCormack: “The Qur'an is a sacred book to Muslims and treating it as you did is going to cause extreme distress. This is a tolerant country, but we just do not tolerate this behaviour.” Parliament needs to determine whether we now have a de facto blasphemy law.

It is interesting how Ramadan, the Muslim fast, has totally eclipsed Lent, the Christian fast, despite Muslims constituting just 6% of the UK population, and 15% in London. Perhaps the @MayorofLondon might be persuaded to install Easter lights declaring ‘He is risen!’.

Ramadan has begun in Londonistan. It's another sign of how Islam is encroaching on Western culture, says Tim Dieppe. It's a long time since critics of any other religion were imprisoned. But don't you dare insult Islam! dailysceptic.org/2025/03/03/ram…
