Please stop spamming me. When I made my donation a few months ago, I specifically deselected the option of receiving future communications from you. That had no effect, however, for you’ve been emailing and texting me regularly regardless. But this week — oh, this week — you’ve taken the nagging to the next level, and …
Instead of wasting your energies whipping your followers into an almighty frenzy about a fabled Great Replacement, why don’t you lobby your governments to stop supporting policies of displacement? If you don’t want refugees streaming into your lands from the East, adopt a principled stance and become an advocate for the disenfranchised, forced from their …
Dear Right Honourable, You won’t remember me, but I remember you. I used to sit on your left in our Politics tutorials at college — both literally and metaphorically. When I saw you speaking in Parliament recently, I recognised you instantly, despite the passage of thirty years. Occasionally we would spar in our tutorials. Supposedly, …
Congratulations: you’re making a name for yourself, telling white nationalists exactly what they want to hear: that the contribution of immigrants to Britain has been negligible. Presumably you exclude yourself from that statement, given that having emigrated to Canada as a child, you migrated back to Britain in adulthood to make your life here. Standing …
The time to test the skills you learnt on 5-minute crafts is not on Mother’s Day, while making your mum breakfast in bed. Never mind, you know dad will clean up the mess.
I remember the first time I ever set eyes on you. I was sitting in the student common room when my Pakistani companion pointed at you and asked me: “Can you guess where she’s from?”
I don’t know your name. I have a vague recollection of it, though I have no idea how I would ever have known it, so may just as easily have imagined it. Perhaps it does not matter, except that it means I have no hope of ever actually reaching out and finding you.
In your public declarations, you now claim — contrary to what I heard you say in a private gathering twenty-two years ago — that your movement never advocated its followers infiltrating every institution of the state. Each time you are asked about the growing body of evidence that suggests that they did precisely that, you …
I love your channel and style — have been a subscriber for years — but increasingly I wish tech reviewers lived in the same world as the rest of us.
My sincere supplication on your behalf: I pray that your 50,000 followers on social media haemorrhage away, enabling you to rediscover yourself, finding solace in obscurity, silence and isolation, far away from the maddening crowds, the lust to be known and the need to preach your peculiar wisdom to all. Come, join the fraternity of …
I get it: these are difficult times. The celebrity sheikhs whose knowledge we respect behave like common buffoons, while any semblance of good behaviour, manners or humility is relegated to the common man, working in secular spaces. It’s true. There’s a mufti whose learning I greatly respect, whose insight I admire, who speaks the truth …
You may assume, because I once wrote an article critical of a so-called islamist turned reformer whose path crossed with mine in my youth, that I am a champion of the ardent activists who stand against him. But you would be wrong.
Dear crusader against the times, We hear you loud and clear: feminism is the great scourge of our times, apparently set to undermine our faith — along with modernism, scientism, liberalism and materialism. Thus must you argue at length in every post about the dangers they pose to orthodoxy, irregardless of your simplistic reductions.
You probably don’t remember me, but you took me under your wing in the late evening of the day I uttered my testimony of faith. You wanted me to embrace what you now rebuff as Islamism; I wasn’t interested (few of us were, but we were polite enough not to deeply trouble you). I had just embraced …
The key lesson you should have learned from the Windows 8 palava is, “Don’t piss people off”. Assuming this is the lesson you’ve learned, please take note that users like the Windows 8.1 experience on a tablet. If you dick around with that for Windows 10, a lot of people will be pissed of all …
