Man guilty of Manchester Airport attack on police officers - "A student has been found guilty of attacking two female police officers during a large violent disturbance at Manchester Airport. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, was charged with assaulting the Greater Manchester Police officers during the fracas on 23 July last year, with mobile phone footage of the incident being widely shared on social media. Following a three-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court, Amaaz was convicted of assaulting PC Lydia Ward, causing actual bodily harm, and the assault of emergency worker PC Ellie Cook. After 10 hours of deliberating, the jury was unable to reach verdicts on allegations that Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, assaulted PC Zachary Marsden causing actual bodily harm... Amaaz was also found guilty of an earlier assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at a Starbucks cafe in the airport's arrivals area earlier in the day. The court heard how PC Zachary Marsden, PC Lydia Ward and PC Ellie Cook had entered the airport car park's pay station area following reports of a male fitting Amaaz's description headbutting a member of the public. Prosecutors said Amaaz had resisted as he was grabbed from behind at a car park ticket machine, before the prolonged violence broke out. He was seen to floor PC Ward with a punch to the face which broke her nose and also knocked PC Cook to the ground. He was also alleged to have punched PC Marsden from behind and then had hold of him before PC Cook discharged a Taser device. A kick and stamp by PC Marsden as Amaaz lay on the floor was also shown in the footage."
For those who immediately defended the men arrested by police at Manchester Airport last year, how do you feel about the footage released yesterday? : r/AskBrits - "The problem with this was the media. They only showed the actions of the officer in the aftermath to create a story around police brutality. This footage showed the officer kicking a man on the ground. This got everyone in a frenzy about the officer in question and how outrageous it was. A week or so later the media then released 'other footage' which was the same footage from the week before, but just in its entirety. In this footage you could see the extent of the assault on the officers and how serious the situation was. The officer in question had been punched in the head in excess of 10 times by two men much bigger than him, seen both his colleagues punched to the floor and felt an attempt to take his firearm, while being paid less than £30k a year to 'protect the public'. I wonder at what point he thought "fuck this"."
"That's exactly how the media operates. They don't inform people on what happens. They make stories out of what happens."
For those who immediately defended the men arrested by police at Manchester Airport last year, how do you feel about the footage released yesterday? : r/AskBrits - "Wasn't it known initially that he had punched a female officer? I feel like it was stated at the time. We just didn't have a video of it."
For those who immediately defended the men arrested by police at Manchester Airport last year, how do you feel about the footage released yesterday? : r/AskBrits - ""Yeh but still not acceptable to kick someone in the head" Yeh sure a thug has headbutted a member of the public, broken your collegues nose and him and his brother are continuing to viciously attack your collegues and have punched you multiple times in the head but YES how terrible was it for that officer to completely stop the threat they think."
For those who immediately defended the men arrested by police at Manchester Airport last year, how do you feel about the footage released yesterday? : r/AskBrits - "There are still people on social media defending these thugs, except it’s now about them “defending their mother” truly vile."
New Manchester Airport video shows violent scenes before man 'kicked' in head : r/manchester - "Am I right in seeing that the guy who got tasered punched the female officer?"
"Guy in light blue lands at least 10 hard head punches in that video, including one that knocks down the redhead, one that knocks down the blonde and a run-up full punch directly to the back of the male's head when he's not expecting it, any of those could have killed someone. The taser that knocks him down doesn't fully incapacitate him as he turns his head to look/shout at the policeman who zapped him. They're surrounded by people shouting and swearing at them, and the other bigger guy who was punching the taser guy in the head isn't restrained yet... Not good kicking him in the head but I assume they didn't want him getting back up again and carrying on."

Outrage at hate speech double standard after Invasion Day protester calls for ‘white genocide’ - "An elderly woman who was verbally abused and told “I hope the white genocide does happen” by an Aboriginal protester while enjoying an Australia Day picnic in Sydney’s Hyde Park says she is “pissed off” about the apparent double standard in the application of hate speech laws. It comes amid growing calls for NSW Police to investigate the racially charged tirade by the unidentified young man, as comparisons are drawn to the swift apprehension of an alleged neo-Nazi for an anti-Semitic speech at a March for Australia protest nearby in the city on the same day. “I’m personally not … offended [but] I am very pissed off about the hate speech laws,” Rosemary Marshall, 71, told news.com.au on Wednesday. “It’s one rule for them and another for us.”... The incident unfolded a few hours after the duelling Invasion Day and anti-immigration March for Australia protests. “This little brat turned up on his expensive bike and tried to pull the flags out and rode around the park shrieking at us, so I went to film him,” Ms Marshall said... In the video, the man wearing an Aboriginal flag shirt that says ‘Justice Now!’ and riding a Norco Indie VLT 1 electric hybrid bike — which range from $2999 to $4999 — is heard calling Ms Marshall and her companions “c***s”. “I hope the white genocide does happen, because you guys are c***s,” he says. “F**k your flag, f**k this genocidal country. 2025, 2024, the highest years for Aboriginal deaths in custody, and you just stand there like a f**king nobody, waving around your bulls**t flag.” “My grandfather fought at Gallipoli,” Ms Marshall says. “That’s why I’m wearing my poppies.” “Gallipoli? Cool … we have an army that also f**king takes advantage of Indigenous people,” he replies... A woman is heard yelling at him that “the land was not stolen”. “If you want to claim that the land was stolen, go naked into the bush and carve a f**king country out of the rock, because that’s what they did,” she says. Another woman says, “How dare you pull our flag up? Who do you think you are to come and pull our flag up? Piss off.” “F**k off,” the man says. The first woman angrily tells him that the flag “is my heritage and it’s important to me”. “You’re a f**king slave owner f**king a**hole,” he says. “You’ve got … f**king NAIDOC Week and everything else, and I’m happy to give it because I love Aboriginal people, but how dare you come and trash our heritage? This flag is my flag,” she says."
Time to jail him for spreading this racist, white supremacist conspiracy theory!
The Slavers Call for Reparations – We Go “On Metaphor Alert” Again, as AU and EU Debate History - "During their annual late-spring meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, leaders of the African Union “launched a new push for slavery and colonial reparations” – most notably for hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations focused on “trans-Atlantic slavery and the slave trade.” Indeed, “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations” was selected as the overall thru-line theme for all AU events and operations in 2025. This theme appears to be a final realization of the goals outlined in the African Union’s Abuja Proclamation of 1993. At that time, the group (then technically the Organization of African Unity) stated: “What matters is…the responsibility of those states and nations whose economic evolution once depended on slave labor and colonialism, and whose forebears participated either in selling and buying Africans, or in owning them, or in colonizing them.” Stirring, to be sure. However, the eager adoption of anti-slavery referenda by such states as Benin, Ghana, and Ethiopia in fact highlights the bizarrely complex nature of the human past. If those names did not give the ‘punch line’ away, most of the significant African powers demanding reparations in Current Moment are themselves former merchants of life – mass-scale traders in slaves, or the direct heirs either of states that were or the colonial powers that displaced them. Most of modern-day Benin, for example, is composed of the former Kingdom of Dahomey – which was arguably the most legendary slave-trading society in history... During the nation’s bloody prime, her King Gezo gave what may be the 2nd most memorable quote of all time about slaving (after Tippu Tipp’s “All men of all colors are welcome in my markets, as buyers or merchandise, depending on their fortunes in war). Quoth he: “The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and glory of their wealth. The mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery!”... Per most Africanists in my discipline, these proto-Nigerians sold roughly 850,000 slaves all-time. For purposes of comparison, well under 400,000 total enslaved persons entered the United States before the slave trade was halted in 1808. Near Nigeria, in Ghana, we find the still-legendary Ashanti Empire, whose King drank sweet palm wine from the skulls of his former enemies and held court on a throne of pure gold – and whose national economy was based almost entirely on trading in precious metals “and in slaves.” Per one public-intellectual resource: “The army (of the Ashanti Empire) mainly served as a tool to capture more and more Africans and force them into slavery.” Down the (surprisingly long and well-built) road, the Kanem Bornu Confederation, which encompassed huge chunks of modern Chad, Cameroon, and Niger, was no kinder. From 900 AD on, “the principal commodity of the empire was in slaves.” Like most slave traders, pimps, and similar wastrels, the Kings of Kanem Bornu were not particularly picky about their customer base. At first, “the slaves were sold in the trans-Saharan slave trade,” to Arabs and other blacks, “but eventually they took part in the transatlantic…trade as well (-) with around two million slaves having walked through the slave route in their Empire.” The even larger powers of Northern “white” Africa, which are AU members today as well, and often maintain direct governmental continuity with the historical past, obviously traded in slaves as well... Although this has been Intentionally Forgotten, many or most of these states sold whites as well as black Africans – and a few preferred to do so. Algeria in particular was the home base of the legendary Barbary Pirates, who were “huge players in the (global) slave trade, enslaving both Africans and Europeans.” Indeed, the scimitar-waving corsairs of Algeria and Libya ranged so far afield that they ended up inspiring the most famous line in the American Marine Corps Hymn: U.S. leather-necks traveled “to the shores of Trip-o-li” specifically to avenge Caucasian countrymen who had been enslaved or press-ganged by Muslim raiders from Northern Africa. This historical fact is not contested... An even more fascinating and awkward point regarding historical slavery is that most civilized (in this context, “developed” might be more appropriate) black and Muslim African states STOPPED trading in slaves largely because Europeans made them do so. This point recurs throughout the academic and popular sources utilized for this article... Slavery was not banned in free India until 1954, in Nigeria until 1961, in never-colonized Ethiopia until 1969, and in Mauritania – at least at the level of criminal penalty – until 2007. At multiple points over the past 200 years, various Kings and lords from the “LDC” world met with European ambassadors to their continent, or even traveled to London or Westminster, and pitched the necessity of open slave trading as critical for the economic betterment of their realms."

Left wing people are trying to gatekeep the goth subculture
I thought id make a thread on here about it, as this is a trend that is going on on Tiktok, and it also seems fairly widely shared on . Why are todays Gen Z goths trying to gatekeep the goth subculture?. Saying that you cant be goth if your conservative, right wing or a Trump or Republican supporter?. I always thought that the only thing that mattered was whether you like the music or not, and that nothing else mattered. There are quite alot of videos on this subject on Tiktok. I think i was recently blocked by a goth content creator on Tiktok (who i thought was alright with me) because she must have seen one of my other videos that advertised i was not left wing (but im certainly not far right). know that goth gets its roots from punk, and punk did begin by edifying left wing politics (particually anarchism). But Johnny Rotten however recently said this never thought I'd live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling self-righteous t**tty 'ones going around shaming everyone, I dont blame him for saying that, cause how left wing was in the late is very different to how it is now."
BBC apologises after Holocaust Memorial Day report omits Jews - "The failure to reference Jews in the introduction follows controversies over its coverage of antisemitism, Israel and the conflict in Gaza. Lord Pickles, who was the special envoy for post-Holocaust issues from 2015 until last year, said the failure to highlight Jewish victims in the introductions was “an unambiguous example of Holocaust distortion, which is a form of denial”. “This kind of obfuscation was common during the Soviet control of parts of Europe,” said Pickles, who is now co-chairman of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation. “For the BBC to use it today is shocking. They should be fighting antisemitism, not aiding it.”"
Failing by Design: A Teacher’s Warning from the Front Lines : r/CanadianTeachers - "After teaching for over twenty years in British Columbia, I can no longer stay silent. I know how to spark curiosity in a child, but I now leave work most days feeling defeated. Our classrooms are no longer defined by the quiet hum of study; instead, they are defined by a chaotic mix of noise, conflict, and digital distraction. We are witnessing a slow-motion collapse of achievement that threatens our future in an era of rapid AI integration and economic volatility. Recent data from Ontario shows that only half of Grade 6 students met math standards, and we should not feel smug in BC. The same emergency is at our doorstep, yet I see a startling lack of urgency from our school districts and the provincial government. This crisis is not limited to math; across Canada, reading proficiency is cratering. Fewer kids read for fun, and universities report that students arrive without the reading stamina or critical analysis skills needed for the humanities. We are graduating a generation that struggles to finish a book, let alone deconstruct an argument. The problem is a perfect storm. First, student attention has been fractured by hours of digital stimulation and rising rates of ADHD. Teachers are forced to compete with TikTok for a child’s focus. Second, we are buckling under a dominant "progressivist" ideology that now permeates teacher training, many classrooms, and government departments. After speaking with numerous educators over the last year, I believe this ideology is a root cause of our declining outcomes. It manifests as a deep-seated aversion to exams and a resistance to the explicit instruction and practice students require. Instead, we have rejected proven methods like phonics or memorizing times tables in favor of ideas often labelled as “student-centred,” “discovery,” “inquiry,” or “project-based learning.” We are asking children to discover the world before we have taught them the basic notes and scales of the subject. Third, a misguided sense of compassion now allows students to avoid academic discomfort rather than building the resilience needed to overcome it. In today's unstable economy, the ability to read and solve math problems is more than an academic requirement; it is a lifeline. When we abandon structured, clear teaching, we are not being "progressive." We are widening a class divide. Families with means naturally seek out private tutors, while children whose families cannot afford external supports are left to drift. This is the "Matthew Effect" at its most cruel: those with an advantage see it grow while everyone else falls further behind through no fault of their own. To let this continue is to betray the heart of public education. We do not need more apps or vague mission statements. We need a return to the basics: explicit instruction, foundational fluency, and a restoration of the classroom as a place of focus. Our leaders talk about infrastructure, but our most important infrastructure is the cognitive capacity of the next generation. If the government continues to look away, the cost will be paid by the very students we claim to protect. Sincerely, A 20-year British Columbia Educator"
Indiana U. professor sanctioned for creating ‘hostile environment’ for white students - "An investigation has determined that a black professor at Indiana University created a “hostile educational environment” for white students via “comments made over the course of a semester.” The Herald-Times reported Jan. 13 that the scholar would be sanctioned as a result, a recent decision made by the vice provost for faculty and academic affairs. “[T]he university had found a ‘preponderance of evidence’ that Croom had created a ‘hostile educational environment for White students,’ a violation of the university’s discrimination policy,” the Times reported. The investigation was launched in 2024 by a complaint by then-student Michael Claycamp, who reported that education Professor Marcus Croom claimed “white teachers are white supremacists” and said he would “rather not associate with white people over the course of the class.”... Claycamp provided a section from the investigation’s conclusion which notes Croom “continually defined” students “in terms of their race” such as “nice White women,” “privileged White girls,” and “White saviors.” Croom also informed white students they all were “intrinsically” and “indirectly” racist as “nice White women can be racist,” according to the summary. “Many of the witnesses stated [Croom] tried to make them feel bad about being White and additionally made assumptions about them as White students which were often times not true,” the investigation’s conclusion reads. It notes “given the consistency” of the witness statements, “it is more than likely” Croom made “these or similar statements” to the white students. There also was “a preponderance of the evidence” that Croom “placed the students’ race as central to their participation and evaluation in the course.”... According to his faculty page, Croom is a “race critical researcher” whose job is “to cultivate more human fulfillment and mitigate human suffering.”"
Damn violation of academic freedom!

Starfleet Academy Defenders SAY Star Trek "Was Always This Way." My Response. - YouTube - "If you read X-Men comics in the 80s, Chris Claremont, who wrote the majority of them, he would often have a minority character or a character from a culture who had historically been oppressed and mistreated. He would have them be portrayed as maybe one of the bigots, like Magneto is the biggest example. He was a Jewish man, a survivor of the Holocaust who had become totalitarian and a villain. And the entire idea behind his character is no matter what background you're from or how oppressed you've been or what culture you're from, it doesn't give you a right to take out your pain on other people. It doesn't give you a right to become the very thing you hate. Now, sometimes Chris Claremont would do that. Why? For example, a black character would be the one who was portrayed as anti-mutant or something like that. Or a black character would be one of the good guys. Basically, any character in X-Men could be a hero and any character no matter what their race or cultural background or whatever it may be could be a villain. And what Claremont was doing with that is not only saying that, you know, whatever background you have, anyone can be a bigot. Whatever pain you've been through does not give you the right to take it out on anyone else. And it was also, you know, really doing this post Martin Luther King idea. A person should be judged by their character, not just their identity... as time changed, the definition of being a bigot during the 2020s expanded to mean if you don't support gender ideology, which is what Morph, being a non-binary character, was getting into, which was not a thing in the mainstream during the time when the '90s X-Men aired. In fact, it's kind of embarrassing for them to say that people who grew up in during that time just didn't get it. When if you read late 80s X-Men comics, Jubilee actually makes what would now be considered a transphobic joke about the name X-Men. And all of this is to say, once again, the ideology changes. The definition of what it means to be progressive changes... And I got to say, it's still changing because since X-Men 97 aired in short order, you actually see Disney removing transgender characters and storylines from their shows because it's becoming less acceptable to do that as there's becoming a lot of backlash and discussion around that ideology...
Did you know that the original Marvel comics were actually against diversity quotas? Here's a panel from Avengers 183 published in 1979 with Sam Wilson. Cap says, "It's not my idea, Sam. The government says we have to have more minority members, and if you don't join, the Avengers priority privileges will be suspended." "Oh, well then maybe I ought to change my name to the Token, huh? Blasted, Steve. I've proven myself as a superhero. And I don't like being chosen to fill a quota." And you can actually find multiple panels like that in comics from the previous decades that the progressives, and most of the people who worked on these comics were very progressive at the time. They disagreed with tokenism. They disagreed that there needed to be diversity quotas enforced. In fact, they actually saw it as wrong to do that... it's completely disingenuous to just look take a surface level look of it and say, "Well, it's progressive, so it's the same." When it's actually not. And with a lot of these things, it isn't that the people who watched them and loved them or read these comics changed."
Clearly, the chuds never understood X-Men or Marvel
