Even if @KemiBadenoch is herself sincere in the policy of ECHR abrogation I don't believe once in power the Tories would do it especially with a small majority. And even if her MPs were unified Tory peers would not be. Indeed I know quite a few who would rather lose the whip than contemplate leaving the Council of Europe even if it were a manifesto pledge to do so.

"The imitation point is an interesting one. I know dozens of Muslims and have taught hundreds. I've never heard one say Happy Ramadan not least because it is a time of solemnity fasting and reflection. The celebration is Eid which is both a happy and blessed occasion. Happy Ramadan is a contrivance an emulation of Happy Christmas which ironically London's lights no longer proclaim. But it is as theologically oxymoronic and as spiritually incongruous as saying Happy Lent or Happy Passiontide. I wonder why they don't just go with the traditional Islamic greeting of Ramadan Mubarak. Sorry but"

"This is a matter of public confidence as much as law. Quite so. It is axiomatic that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done. A man who arms himself with a knife with the intention of defending his religion against a blasphemer and who then states I'm going to kill you and lunges numerous times attempting to kill or maim that blasphemer is guilty of rather more than assault and possession of a blade in a public space. I have written the Director of Public Prosecutions to ask why tougher charges werent brought against the attacker. https://t.co/Ff5Z7BCYNa I have written"

"Reject I predict many millions of honest upright Britons will refuse to register for mandatory digital ID. Starmer will make it clear that the right to work and claim benefits depends upon it. All benefits claimants will give in. Then access to pensions banking mortgages and credit will depend upon it. Hundreds of thousands will give in. Then access to healthcare will depend upon it. Millions will give in. And then as society becomes cashless the ability to buy and sell will depend upon it. Millions more will give in. Or starve. #No2DigitalID A so-called digital ID is very 1984-ish. Hope our"

"20 years ago I used to take all Year [--] to Southall to visit a church mosque mandir and gurdwara. I remember imams explaining that women were separated because men might be sexually tempted. And I remember (brave) girls questioning this: if Muslim men can't control themselves it is they who should pray in a back room. This didn't go down well. In an age of sex equality this sort of misogynist reasoning needs to be challenged and mosques encouraged to reify equality. Watch this Imam explain to me why women are forced to cover up in Islam and pray behind a curtain in his mosque. He says women"

"I've seen numerous videos from Birmingham tonight and it seems to me that the police have acknowledged an Islamic territorial supremacy: anyone who is suspected of winding up Muslims (even with theological discussion) is either arrested or removed and detained in a holding pen. No threats of violence; no breach of the peace necessary. Just a Minority Report suspicion of pre-crime; the threshold of which is mere presence. If the Government doesn't begin to manage this now by asserting people's freedoms in a decade it will be too late"

"A minor thing of course. I doubt many noticed and I'm sure even fewer were offended. But there will be BBC guidelines on forms of address which were just summarily and heedlessly discarded to do to the Princess of Wales what the tabloid press habitually does to her (and they may now officially do to Andrew). The journalist may herself be a republican and may not respect the Royal Family. But when you speak for the state broadcaster you speak to the nation for the nation. One expects better from the BBC. Just BBC News on #ArmisticeDay casually announcing the arrival of Kate Middleton.😔"

".continuing. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall the BBC referring to Diana Spencer after her wedding or writing headlines like Di and Queen. The tabloids did certainly. But it's even more disrespectful from @BBCNews because she uses Catherine and I thought the BBC now valued preeminently how people wish to self-identify"

"Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert was due to speak at the @OxfordUnion today. Protestors blocked the entrance some jumped the fence. Event cancelled. One may smile and smile and be an anti-Semite"
