Goblins are not Jews, J.K. Rowling is not an anti-Semite

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has - absurdly - been accused of anti-Semitism after some mentally unhinged progressives decided that the Gringotts goblins are Jews. This shouldn't need saying... but if you look at a goblin and think "that looks like a Jew", you're the anti-Semite. As for why this is only coming out now, 20-something years late, we can only conclude that it's J.K. Rowling's stances on other issues, most notably in the transgenderism debate, that have made her a target. After all, many of the people making this nonsense claim were quite happy to vote for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party at a time when it was riddled with actual anti-Semitism.

Statues commit "hate crimes" and it is right to tear them down, court finds

In one of the most dangerous and absurd legal decisions in living memory, a jury has found that four radical left wing vandals were justified in tearing down a statue to Edward Colston in Bristol because the statue was committing a hate crime. Apparently it is acceptable for mobs to commit flagrant acts of violence and vandalism if they are sufficiently offended by the thing they are attacking. Will it be Winston Churchill next?

Is Emma Watson an Anti-Semite? No, but...

Emma Watson has been docked 12 points from Gryffindor for posting a message of "solidarity" with the "Palestinians" on Instagram, leading to stern rebukes from the Israel ambassador and claims that she is anti-Semitic. She's not. But she is an idiot, and idiots who are uncritically pro-Palestine are very useful to genuine anti-Semites. It is at least suspicious that a group that so frequently elects genocidal maniacs who want to finish the job Hitler started get so much public support from fashionable celebrities and political activists, while much less objectionable groups - the Uighurs, the Tibetans, the Rohingya, Christians in the Middle East - get next to nothing.

Tony Blair gets Knighthood for Destroying the Country

Tony Blair has been given the highest Knighthood bestowed in the UK, apparently for the good work he did in destroying the country. From mass immigration to ruining the economy, from the War in Iraq to his craven support for the EU, everything Tony Blair has ever touched has been left in ruins. There is a petition to get it revoked. It topped 500,000 signatories in just 2 days. But some people apparently think he deserves the honour. We take a look at their arguments. Join us on...

Joe Biden is Destroying America

Discord: https://discord.gg/JY6KZ268XV Twitter: @PlatoonPod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XcApW6aVVAbjE5sx2QXOw?si=acd10a6d6a6a45e0*** #USNews #USPolitics #Biden Gripped by an inflation crisis and with the Omicron variant of Covid-19 out of control, a majority of Americans are waking up to the fact that Joe Biden is not the answer to their problems. He is, in fact, making all of them worse. He now scores lowest on his handling of the economy of any President in over 40 years. Two-thirds of independent voters hate him. Almost a quarter of his own party think he's rubbish. Which he is. His Build Back Better bill has flopped, but it was never a solution to begin with. Spending trillions more on social security will make the problem worse, not better. He believed the nonsense about him being a "transformational" President, like FDR or LBJ, but he governs more like Jimmy Carter. He never had a mandate to pursue the radical Leftist agenda being pushed by the Squad and the far-Left Democrats, but he tried it anyway, and he failed. Thankfully the midterms are coming up. This is your chance, Americans, to do the right thing: vote out his party; and, when the next general election comes around, vote him out, too.

A Victory for Harry Miller, a Victory for FREE SPEECH

Discord: https://discord.gg/JY6KZ268XV Twitter: @PlatoonPod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XcApW6aVVAbjE5sx2QXOw?si=acd10a6d6a6a45e0*** #News #Politics #FreeSpeech Finally, some good news about free speech: the courts have found in favour of ex-police officer Harry Miller in his battle against the police force that tried to investigate him for thought crime after he posted a "transphobic" limerick on Twitter. If you don't have laws around hate crime and hate speech in your country, you're lucky. In the UK, the police could investigate you - and you could lose your job, and be barred from working - for "non-crime hate incidents", where anyone - and sometimes nobody at all - perceived anything you (or your dog, or your car) did as being motivated by racism, hatred, bigotry, misogyny, or prejudice. There have been 120,000 of these non-crimes recorded since 2014, and they have included a dog barking at a stranger, a woman beeping her horn in a car park, a teenager quoting rap lyrics, and a woman repeating the scientific fact that you cannot change your biological sex.

Stop Killing Comics. Gay People Don't Need Gay Superman #comicsgate

Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/JY6KZ268XV Twitter: @PlatoonPod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XcApW6aVVAbjE5sx2QXOw?si=acd10a6d6a6a45e0 *** The comics industry is dying, but DC and Marvel seem not to care. They are much more interested in making every character they can get their hands on gay. Batwoman, Robin, The Flash, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hulkling - whatever that is - and Wiccan; Rictor, Shatterstar, that one from the Eternals movie nobody watched; Iceman; Green Lantern; there is plenty of talk that Spiderman will get at least the bi treatment in the near future. This kind of forced diversity is bad for fans, but it's bad for gay people, too. By making "representation" a substitute for story, they deny us characters that actually have some relation to the lives we lead; and by making established characters gay, they set up a zero-sum game where writers try to take from the existing fandom to appeal to an hypothetical queer one. There is no need for any of this. Gay people don't need tokenistic "representation" in the form of gaying up straight characters. If you want more gay characters, write new gay characters. Put as much time, love and effort into them as you once put into the creation of the Avengers or the Justice League. The fans will follow, and thank you for it, whether they are straight or gay. But that would require work, and the publishers are much more interested in film franchises like the MCU than they are in the comics that provided the stories and the characters. The comics industry has been left to rot, stuffed with social justice hacks like Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose sole aim is to have themselves and their politics reflected on the page, and to lecture the fans who dare not to like it.

Census: Britain is no longer a Christian country

*** Join us: Discord: https://discord.gg/JY6KZ268XV Twitter: @PlatoonPod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XcApW6aVVAbjE5sx2QXOw?si=acd10a6d6a6a45e0*** New census data shows that barely 50 per cent of the people of the United Kingdom think of themselves as Christian, a decline of more than 8 per cent in a decade. The number of people stating that they have no religion, or who preferred not to state their belief (which is reported as being the same thing, though it isn't) has grown from 32 per cent to 38 per cent in the same time. No word yet on Islam, though we confidently expect that to be the fastest growing religion in the UK, which is... no problem at all, obviously. The Church of England has decided to "rebrand" itself - again - in an attempt to appeal to young people, by ditching all the God stuff, decolonising Jesus, and swapping out old hymns for modern stuff with guitars and lots of cringing. Perhaps it's time for the CofE to realise that people have no respect for this kind of thing, preferring the clear guidance of a strong faith to one that tries to be fashionable and modern. And maybe the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, should spend more time talking about God, and less disavowing the political beliefs of his remaining congregation.
