Police used ‘Orwellian’ powers to gag firefighter in free speech row

Police used “Orwellian” powers to gag a firefighter and prevent him revealing he had been arrested after posting online messages criticising his bosses.

Staffordshire Police told Robert Moss that his right to “freedom of expression” had to be “limited to maintain public safety and order” following his arrest on suspicion of malicious communications.

But a special bail hearing at Newcastle-Under-Lyme magistrates’ court overturned the “gagging clause” amid fears officers were behaving as if they lived in a “police state”.

‘Two tier justice is out of control’: Fury as Labour councillor who called for Southport protesters’ throats to be cut is cleared of encouraging violent disorder

A Labour councillor who called for protesters’ throats to be cut has been cleared of encouraging violent disorder – prompting claims of ‘two-tier justice’.

Ricky Jones made the inflammatory comments at a counter-demonstration in north London in response to anti-migrant rallies sparked by the Southport stabbings.

In a video from the event in Walthamstow on August 7, 2024, Jones is seen telling cheering supporters: ‘They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.’

Federal court halts Indian national’s deportation because of wife’s ADHD

The Federal Court has granted a last-minute stay of removal for Jagjit Singh, an Indian citizen who was scheduled to be deported from Canada, ruling that his pending spousal sponsorship application and the health needs of his Canadian wife warrant delaying his departure.

Singh arrived in Canada in 2021 on a temporary resident visa and initially filed a refugee claim. In January 2025, he married L.B., a Canadian citizen, and withdrew his refugee claim shortly after she submitted an inland spousal sponsorship application on his behalf. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) confirmed in May that L.B. met the eligibility criteria to sponsor Singh, but no decision on his permanent residence application has yet been made.

Smithsonian’s American History Museum Is Wall-To-Wall Anti-American Propaganda

The Smithsonian Institution is one of America’s greatest assets.

When Americans visit the nation’s capital in Washington, D.C., they are able to witness their country’s vast array of art, culture, history, and research acumen all in one place, and for free, because of the museums and zoo the institution operates there.

Like the national parks, the Smithsonian is part of America’s cultural inheritance.

Michael Taube: Of course globally focused Carney hasn’t opened his constituency office yet

Mark Carney has been Canada’s Prime Minister for slightly over 100 days. Yet, he still hasn’t done the one thing his predecessors did in short order: open a constituency office.

MPs of different parties often don’t have constituency offices for short periods of time. The reasons are usually straightforward and completely understandable, including moving locations and hiring new staff members. The matter is typically resolved quickly.

Fury as Labour-run council tears down ‘dangerous’ St George’s and Union Jack flags from city streets (but Palestine flags are allowed)

A Labour-run council has sparked a major backlash by tearing down St George’s and Union Jack flags from streets because they ‘could put lives at risk’ – despite Palestinian flags flying high across the city for several months.

Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith accused Birmingham City Council of piling ‘bias and absurdity on top of their utter incompetence’, pointing out they have managed to find workers to take down flags after months of bin strikes.

Scores of British flags have sprung up on lampposts and buildings across parts of Northfield, Birmingham, in what organisers have described as a ‘patriotic outpouring’.

MSNBC Freaks That Smithsonian Changes Are ‘The Reassertion of White Supremacy’

MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”

Guest host Antonia Hylton began by trying to wax poetic about the Smithsonian, “That description there, in the reporting, of the way this administration seeks to transform the Smithsonian, a place that millions of people visit, students go to, to study, to find themselves in the world, to work on life-changing research projects. They want to bend it to the way Trump views our nation’s history.”
