How the Blob Destroys its Opponents Sat Dec 20, 2025 13:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Should a Right-wing, reforming government gain power at the next election, it will face the full resistance of the Blob. The 2023 ousting of Dominic Raab is instructive in how this will run, says Dr David McGrogan.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3considering that dozens of British Muslims in the UK have been arrested recently for posessing 'martyrdom videos downloaded from the internet' - it might not be wise to watch this video from the CNN.com website.
how f***ed up is that?!
Hey Redjade, when did these arrests happen?
I'm sure you don't mean the people who had made their own personal martyrdom videotapes and plotted to blow up transatlantic airplanes.

it is not clear if they made their own or downloaded - the police have allowed the media go wild with rumours and stretched interpretations. I am not too familiar with UK Anti-Terror laws so I will temporarily retract my statement that they arrested because they had 'martyrdom videos' - many have been released already, I'm sure many others will be soon.
Its quite obvious this was not The Plot they believed it was - some of the 'terrorist suspects' didn't even have passports, in fact they had recently applied for passports.

'Police have said they found hydrogen peroxide, bomb-making components and six martyrdom videos during nearly 70 searches of homes, businesses, vehicles and open spaces.... Investigators also are examining around 8,000 DVDs, memory sticks and data-storage devices seized during raids.'

'Police have also found bomb-making chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, and electrical components, as well as "a number of video recordings sometimes referred to as martyrdom videos". But maybe all that electronic data will turn out to be no more than downloaded ringtones. Maybe the peroxide was simply to bleach someone's hair. Maybe those videos were just innocent home movies.'

'As 11 British-born Muslims were charged in connection with the alleged conspiracy, detectives said they have recovered caches of bomb-making equipment, lethal chemicals and martyrdom videos... The discovery of so-called 'martyrdom videos' is seen by detectives involved in the arrests as significant.'

'"People bleach their hair with hydrogen peroxide," said Mohammed Khaliel, a spokesman for a mosque in the town of High Wycombe, which several of the suspects attended.
"Hydrogen peroxide you can easily buy anywhere; you can buy it across the counter without any documentation," he said. "And if you were going to actually make something that could damage things, you would need a huge quantity," he added. "It would be unlikely someone would be carrying a drum of it onto a plane."
He also said he believed some of the evidence attributed to the alleged bomb plot may have included material that suspects allegedly downloaded from the Internet. "These young people may very well have downloaded videos off the Internet. That's not necessarily what it's portrayed to be," he said.'
