Stop Coddling the Obvious Lie: It’s time for brutal honesty. Time to stop coddling the obvious lies from the worst people. Call them what they are and don’t pander to their bu****it.

No more ‘pro-Palestinian’. Call them what they are: vicious anti-Semites.

Yeah, yeah, some fool will immediately blither, ‘but criticising Israel isn’t anti-Semitism’. Go to hell: not buying that bu****it any more. I never did, but it’s beyond even the most strident denial now. It’s so obvious that even the Ferald almost admits it.Anti-Semitic terror attacks have risen worldwide after Hamas’ massacre on October 7, 2023.

It’s hardly a coincidence that the spike in anti-Semitic terrorism has ‘coincided’ with two years of weekly marches by drooling morons.Fuelled by extremist pro-Palestinian ideology, Jewish schools, synagogues, businesses and individuals have been targeted in a wave of global violence and harassment not seen since the Second World War.

In the UK, 4103 anti-Semitic hate incidents were reported in 2023, according to figures supplied by the Community Security Trust, a charity devoted to safeguarding Jewish communities.

It’s not a fringe ‘extreme’ of ‘pro-Palestinian’ ideology: it’s its black, diseased, rotten heart. As multiple surveys have shown, anti-Semitism runs at 97 per cent-plus in ‘Palestine’. To be ‘pro-Palestinian’ is thus to be inescapably be pro anti-Semite. It’s as big a lie as claiming, in the 1930s, to be ‘pro-Nazi, not anti-Semitic’.

It’s an obvious, disgusting lie, and I’m sick to death of these scumbags pretending otherwise.

If it’s not anti-Semitism, why attack synagogues? Why Jewish homes? Why do Jewish children have to go to school under armed guard and hide their Jewish school blazers in public?

Don’t p**s on our legs and tell us it’s raining, you absolute hateful pricks.

If you’re still inclined to defend the indefensible, then tell me why, within hours of the worst massacre of Jews since WWII, the streets of Sydney’s Muslim suburbs erupted in spontaneous celebration? Why did a thousands-strong mob storm a vigil for the Jewish victims, chanting ‘gas the Jews’?

And why, within hours of a murderous anti-Semitic terror attack in Britain, did hundreds of demonstrators yet again flood the streets of Sydney and London?Police say an estimated 400 people attended the unauthorised march through the CBD before they returned to Sydney’s Town Hall […]

A video posted to social media by Stand4Palestine, a group established by Hizb ut-Tahrir activists, shows hundreds of protesters chanting and marching through the centre of Sydney.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is listed as a proscribed terror organisation in the UK […]
The protest came as [pro-Palestine] [anti-Semitic] protesters revealed plans to march again on the Sydney Opera House to mark the anniversary of the October 7 terror attack.

So, they’re celebrating the mass murder of Jews. Tell us again how it’s not anti-Semitism?Violent clashes have broken out between pro-Palestinian [anti-Semitic] protesters and police outside the gates of Downing Street, hours after a terror attack at a Manchester synagogue.

Thousands of people waving Palestinian flags gathered in central London, sparking a response by police vans and scores of officers.

Still want to perpetuate the lie?It feels like a grim, bloody extension of the swirling culture of anti-Semitism, which often dolls itself up as anti-Zionism, that has been ailing Britain and other European nations these past few years.

I’ve lost count of the number of times Jewish friends of mine here in Britain have said: “There’s going to be violence.”

They saw a spike in anti-Jewish hate crimes, they watched those ceaseless and hateful marches against the Jewish homeland, they fell out with old friends who overnight seemed to be seized by a feverish obsession with “Zios”, and they said: “We know how this ends.”

We all know how it ends. Too many people choose to lie about it, either from a mistaken belief that ignoring it will make it go away, or worse, because they want it to end exactly how we know it will and don’t want it stopped too soon. If they were honest about what they want, those in authority would have no choice but to stop it.

Instead they’ve been allowed to get away with the lie for far too long and build up their strength, wearing us down piece by piece.

Well, it has to end. Now.

Call them what they are. Tell the truth, and it may set us free.

We Won’t Be Fooled Again: They’re not gonna know what hit them. The NZ media, already squealing like stuck pigs that just one-third of Kiwis trust them, might want to look a few years down the track at what’s happening to US media.

Spoiler alert: it’s all downhill from here.Mainstream media approval among Americans across party lines has sunk to a record low, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday.

The poll of 1,000 US adults, taken Sept 2–16, found that just 28 per cent expressed a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in newspapers, TV, and radio to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.

This is down from 31 per cent last year and 40 per cent five years ago – the first time trust has dropped below 30 per cent in the poll’s history. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.

Golly, I wonder what could have happened in the last five years to bring trust in the media so low?Meanwhile, 70 per cent of respondents said they either have “not very much” confidence (36%) or “none at all” (34%) in the media.

Republicans’ confidence, which hasn’t risen above 21 per cent since 2015, fell into single digits (8%) for the first time. Independents’ trust was at 27 per cent, equaling last year’s record low.

Among Democrats, 51 per cent expressed trust in the media, tying a record low set in 2016.

Funny about that. It couldn’t possibly be because the media are telling them exactly what they want to hear?

And, right on cue, here’s the legacy media inadvertently explaining exactly why almost nobody trusts them.While this is part of a decades-long downward trend that has seen US trust in mass media steadily erode, the drop has become more precipitous in recent years. In fact, after just 32 per cent of adults said they had at least a fair amount of confidence in the press in 2016, trust in the media spiked up to 45 per cent by 2018.

Since then, however, President Donald Trump and his allies in the right-wing media universe have engaged in an aggressive and concerted campaign to discredit the mainstream and legacy press, culminating in his return to the White House and an all-out assault on press freedoms and independence.

It couldn’t possibly be because the media engaged in an aggressive and concerted campaign of outright lying about the US president. “Very fine people”, “mostly peaceful”, “Russian collusion”, “Joe Biden is sharp as a tack”: it was all lies and the legacy media knew it, but they thought the hoi polloi were just too stupid to notice.In recent months, the president has pushed for the dismantling of state-funded media and the defunding of public broadcasting, resulting in the shuttering of PBS and NPR stations and the impending extinction of Voice of America.

And? If, as Robert Heinlein said, “a government-supported artist is an incompetent whore!”, a government-supported media is even worse. Yes, we’re looking at you, PJIF recipients. Australia’s government-funded media, the ABC, has never apologised for, let alone retracted it’s four-part “Russiagate” story that we now know beyond doubt was a farrago of lies.

And don’t even get us started on Covid.

So, screw you, legacy media: you lied and you lied and you lied. Now you’re paying the price.

And you still can’t stop lying.

You deserve to die in the ditch of your own ignominy.

03/10/2025

The Only Slavery They Won’t Talk About: As I wrote recently, the left love to yammer incessantly about ‘colonisation’ – except that they studiously ignore vast and brutal empires throughout history, simply because they weren’t European. The bloody empires of pre-Columbian Central America, for instance, and especially the track record of brutal imperialism that was the hallmark of Islam from its inception.

They’re even worse liars by omission when it comes to slavery.

That slavery was a near-universal human institution, for instance, is never mentioned. Even a society with such a rudimentary economy as pre-European Australia, for instance, bartered women like chattels. Across the Tasman Sea, the Māori were particularly nasty slavers. So were the Native Americans.

Also continually overlooked is that it was Europeans, especially Britons, who forcibly ended slavery while the rest of the world grimly clung to the vile institution.

Especially in Africa, where Arab slavers blighted millions of lives – all with their consciences blessed by their religion.The Quran has a lot to say about slavery. It deprecates the ill-treatment of slaves and attaches a high moral value to their emancipation. But it acknowledges the legitimacy of slavery and of the sexual exploitation of enslaved women. When challenged by European powers in the 19th century, Islamic rulers often cited the authority of their faith. In our own day, the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, and Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, have both justified their revival of slavery and forced concubinage on the founding texts of Islam.

Islam, it must be remembered, was founded by a literal slaver. A slaver, let’s not forget, whom Muslims regard as the ‘best example of a human being’, whose example must be followed in every way possible.

And so it no surprise that slavery is a near-constant in Islam. To damn them with faint praise, Arab Muslims didn’t just enslave blacks: they enslaved everybody they could lay their hands on.The Arabs, like later generations of Europeans, looked down on black Africans as inferiors for whom slavery was thought to be a natural fate. But, unlike Atlantic slavery, which was exclusively sourced from sub-Saharan Africa, Islamic slavery was racially indiscriminate. North African corsairs enslaved Europeans captured at sea and in coastal raids on Europe. The Crimean Tartars trafficked slaves captured in eastern Europe to the shores of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. There were many thousands of these white slaves.

It’s not entirely true, though, that Muslim slavery was “racially indiscriminate”. White slaves were generally worth twice to three times as much as black African. White women fetched the highest premium, around 20 per cent higher than white men. Black Africans were the least valued, with the men in particular treated like cattle, including castration.

And all of it justified by the unalterable ‘word of Allah’: the Koran. Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom Allah has given you as b***y, it says at 33:50. In other words, slavery is divinely ordained.

It’s a common mistake, though, to imagine that the Koran is the totality of Islamic scripture. Along with the sīrah (biographies of Muhammad), there is the vast compendium of hadith, the sayings and doings of Muhammad, that act as a Muslim’s guide to life. Remember: Muhammad is the ‘most excellent example’ of a human being, so his actions must be emulated by the devout Muslim as much as possible.

The hadith make clear that Muhammad owned many slaves, and forced himself on the females. He also enjoined his followers to r**e their female slaves and not to practise coitus interruptus. The hadith also contain elaborate rules for dealing in and treating slaves.

In Islamic scripture, in other words, slavery is not just grudgingly accepted as an unavoidable reality of the society they lived in, and one to be overcome wherever possible, as it is in the New Testament. Instead, it’s a religiously justified, morally acceptable institution, practised by Islam’s founder and highest ideal of a human being. Unsurprisingly, then, slavery not only persisted in the Islamic world until within living memory, but was swiftly revived under the Islamic State.

Oddly, though, the mobs who have a mania for toppling statues of any European even remotely connected to the past slave trade, and demand ‘reparations’ from Western institutions, never go anywhere near the mosques.

  Brexit: A Success the Remainers Won’t Admit?: The same Remoaners who wailed and gnashed their teeth in the lead up to ...

Brexit: A Success the Remainers Won’t Admit?: The same Remoaners who wailed and gnashed their teeth in the lead up to the Brexit referendum have been even more insufferable since they lost. For all their sour-gr**es bellyaching, though, were they right?

In a word: no.

Not even close, in fact. ‘Half a million job losses’, for instance: in the five years from Brexit to Covid, the employment rate reached its highest level since 1971. Even after the hammer-blow of Covid madness, employment in Britain hasn’t fallen below pre-Brexit levels.

As for the even more hysterical claims, such as European Council president Donald Tusk’s warning of the collapse of “Western political civilization in its entirety” and David Cameron’s shrieking about WWIII, it’s clear that the biggest threat to both is not Brexit, but the EU itself.

But what about the dire warnings of economic collapse? The Remoaners are adamant that Brexit has crippled trade, stifled free markets and doomed us to economic irrelevance. Leaving aside what looked like suspiciously punishing ‘deals’ ‘negotiated’ by a succession of post-Brexit British PMs, the economic story is very different to the Remoaners’ lying narrative.Even Keir Starmer’s Labour government, despite its overt desire to ‘snuggle up’ to Brussels and foster momentum for rejoining, is quietly reaping the rewards of our independence. From slashing tariffs to forging agile trade deals, Labour inherits a freer, more dynamic, economy.

A new book, 75 Brexit Benefits: Tangible Benefits from the UK Having Left the European Union (written pseudonymously as ‘Gully Foyle’, from Alfred Bester’s SF classic, The Stars My Destination), examines seven benefit categories. Its sections three and five (‘Brexit Means Better Trade’ and ‘Brexit Means a Better Economy’) debunks the Remoaners’ Jeremiad grumbling.Drawing on official data, WTO insights and real-world examples, Foyle argues Brexit has unshackled the UK from the EU’s sclerotic customs union and single market, far from the ‘free market’ Redwood debunks in his foreword as a myth. Instead, it was a protectionist fortress, laden with tariffs and barriers that favored continental giants like France and Germany while often burdening UK consumers and exporters.

One obvious example is trade deals. Like changing the rules of soccer, trade negotiations in the EU take years on years, as 27 different cooks all stubbornly jam their fingers in the pie. Since Brexit, the UK has struck a rapid-fire succession of trade deals, from the Australia and New Zealand FTAs to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.[These] demonstrated independence and opened doors to the Indo-Pacific’s booming markets, where growth outpaces Europe’s stagnation. These weren’t just symbolic; they slashed tariffs on UK exports, from whisky to machinery, boosting competitiveness. Foyle notes the EU’s stalled talks with Australia contrast sharply with Britain’s nimble approach, yielding lower costs and higher profits for UK firms.

Ironically, given the EU’s hysterical finger-wagging at Donald Trump, unshackling Britain from one of the most tariff-protected markets in the world has had enormous benefits.Tariff reforms emerge as a free-market triumph. Benefit 26 (‘How Low Can You Go?’) details the UK Global Tariff, which axed ‘nuisance tariffs’ below 2.5 per cent on over 2,000 products – stone, machinery, leather – simplifying trade and reducing consumer prices. This unilateral liberalisation, impossible under EU rules, embodies Redwood’s point: out of the single market, we’ve dismantled barriers that once embedded inefficiency. Benefit 40 (‘A Stay of (Tariff) Execution’) spotlights targeted suspensions on 120+ items like flowers and chemicals, responding directly to business needs via the Department for Business and Trade. Such flexibility fosters innovation, as seen in digital trade advancements (Benefit 36) – where the UK’s world-first fully digitised shipment with Singapore cuts paperwork costs by billions.

And so it goes. Given the, ahem, ‘quality’ of its leadership, the UK has hardly embraced the dynamism of, say, Milei’s Argentina. But, even against the best efforts of its political class to q***r the pitch in a fit of pique, Brexit has been the net benefit to Britain that the people in their wisdom voted for.

The Mayor of Whanganui Lives up to His Name: Rather than acknowledging this tragic truth, Mayor Tripe trivialised the occasion.

He revealed himself as a partisan ideologue who cannot rise above petty politics, even in the face of a family’s grief. A mayor is meant to unite, not divide. A mayor is meant to lead with respect, not contempt.

Charlie Kirk stood for something. He stood for values that many in New Zealand still hold dear. His life was worth more than the cheap political sneers of an uninformed, self-indulgent local politician. The people of Whanganui deserve better.

My last remark, directed at Mayor of Whanganui Andrew Tripe, is that you, sir, are a load of tripe. The Mayor of Whanganui lives up to his name0:00/332.8783671×

Face of the Day: Robbie Williams has revealed he’s been secretly living with what he described as “inside Tourette’s” and frequently battles “intrusive thoughts”.

The pop star shared the news of his secret battle on the Welch [sic] comedian Paul [Whitehouse] and Dr Mine Conkbayir’s podcast I’m ADHD! No You’re Not.

“I’ve just realised that I have Tourette’s, but they don’t come out,” he said on the podcast. “I was just walking down the road the other day and I realised that these intrusive thoughts are ‘inside Tourette’s’.”

Tourette Syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder characterised by repetitive, involuntary vocalisations and movements, known as tics. Tics can range from simple motor actions like eye blinking to more complex vocal sounds.

Williams said he has become an “Olympian at masking” his symptoms but admitted that the condition makes it very difficult to perform live.

“I have a very complicated relationship with touring and performing live,” he said. “People say: ‘Oh, you going on tour? You must be really, really excited.’ Not really. I’m terrified.

“I will look full of bravado and look pompous and look smug and do these grand gestures, which have worked for me because they put my face on the poster and people still buy tickets,” Williams added. “But actually what’s happening is I feel like the opposite of that all the time, most of the time.”
