After setting their schools and even their teachers on fire, Muslim students rioting in France are now torching firefighters as they try to put out the fires. A literal war zone.

🏚 Apartment seizures continue in Mariupol The scheme is brutally simple: properties are simply reassigned to new owners in the registry. Then the new “owner” shows up and tells the lawful residents that their Ukrainian documents no longer mean anything.

I've just received a council tax bill for the house my Son lived in at the time of his death. I told the council that he'd died in May of last year. They've sent a bill to me 17 months later. I've suggested they give him a visit.

Yesterday, I debated an obnoxious, disrespectful, and ignorant @jacksonhinkle who argued that the Houthi terrorists were some sort of polished, incredible “government” that Yemenis love and respect. Today, at the UN, I met Gamal al-Ma’mari, a well-known Yemeni tribal leader and sheikh who was kidnapped, tortured, and jailed by the Houthis for 3 years. They tortured him to the point of paralysis because he, and his tribe, opposed their rule. He was, ironically, put in the same jail cell as Levi Marhabi, the only Yemenite Jew left in Yemen, who has also been tortured to the point of paralysis. Stop getting your information about my country from clueless, ignorant Western “experts” who visited it for two weeks. Thank you.

The farm inheritance tax was sold as a tax on the richest estates. It found an ordinary family farm at the second funeral. April 2026: the tax comes in. The news says only the biggest estates will pay. Dad and his son farm 800 acres. Nobody in the family has ever once called it an estate. June: Dad dies. Everything passes to Mum, and nothing is owed. The neighbours say it was never meant for people like them. Two winters later: Mum dies. Week 1: the son milks at five, buries his mother at eleven, and milks again at four. Week 3: the valuer walks the farm. 800 acres at the going rate is £6.8 million. With the farmhouse, two cottages, the machinery and the herd, nearly £8.5 million. The family has never seen £8.5 million. They have seen the overdraft. Week 4: the good news. Mum inherited Dad's unused allowance, so £5 million of the farm passes free. Week 5: the bad news. Everything above the line is taxed at 20%, and that is the good rate. Week 6: HMRC argues the farmhouse stopped being a farmhouse the day the widow living in it stopped farming. That part is taxed at 40%. Week 7: the allowance for the family home tapers to nothing. It was never designed for estates this size. Month 3: the bill. Around £600,000. Month 6: the first instalment falls due. The land cannot be sold until probate is granted, and probate will not be granted until the tax is paid. Month 7: the bank lends the family the money to pay the tax on the land, secured on the land. Years 1 to 10: £60,000 a year. Interest free on the farmland, with interest charged on the farmhouse. Defra's own figures put the average farm's return at half a percent of its value. On £8.5 million, that is about £42,000 a year. The cows are milked at five and four through every day of it. It was never a tax on the rich. It is a tax on still being there.

BREAKING: flydubai FZ1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv Nobody kicked that cockpit door in. That line is already racing around the internet. It is also the wrong line. A Boeing 737 MAX flight-deck door is certified so people in the cabin cannot force it open. If anyone from the cabin got onto that deck over northwest Saudi Arabia, one of two things happened. Someone inside unlocked it. Or a crewmember who knew the airline emergency code typed it, the 30-to-60-second timer ran out, and nobody hit DENY before the five-second unlock window. Random passengers do not know that code. Deadheading company pilots do. Flydubai itself says on-duty company crew already travelling on the flight secured the aircraft and landed it. Here is what is solid. On 30th September 2026, flight FZ1073 left Dubai at 03:05 UTC for Tel Aviv on a 737 MAX 8 registered A6-FKF. About two hours later the jet left cruise. Flightradar24’s tight sample shows a drop from 30,875 feet to 16,750 feet in 29 seconds. That is more than 14,000 feet in half a minute. A wider window used by CNN and BBC is different: about 17,000 to 17,400 feet net from around 34,000 feet in under two minutes. Those are two measurements, not one dramatic number. The aircraft then climbed, dropped again, and wandered near 15,000 feet. It transmitted squawk 7700, then 7500, then 7700 again. It briefly entered Jordanian airspace, turned back, and landed at Tabuk around 06:45 UTC. Israel scrambled fighters after the unlawful-interference code. Tabuk’s airport operator says both the captain and the co-pilot were hurt and taken to hospital. All passengers were accounted for. There were no passenger fatalities. The airline says there was an altercation in the flight deck and that motives remain under investigation. Here is what is not solid yet. Israeli leaders later described a stabbing and an apparent attempt to crash the aircraft. Early the same day, a PMO spokesman told Reuters it was not believed to be a hijacking. Those are official statements. They are not a closed investigation. Flydubai has not confirmed a knife, a crew nationality, or a motive. Named passenger accounts and TV briefings point toward a fight between the operating pilots, with help from people who then entered the deck. That is the working public story. It is not a charge sheet. Claims that a named first officer carried out a planned political crash, or that civilian passengers alone landed the jet, go past what the operator and the public record have locked down. One timing detail matters. The hard dump starts around 05:21 UTC. The first emergency squawk shows at 05:28:48. Roughly seven minutes. That gap fits a cockpit already in chaos before anyone could reach the transponder. It also fits enough time for an emergency-code cycle. It does not tell you which door path fired. Germanwings is the wrong analogy if you use it as a copy. There, the first officer locked the captain out and the door did what post-9/11 hardening was built for: keep a cabin-side threat outside. On FZ1073 the danger was already inside the protected volume. The two-person rule does not solve two pilots fighting in a closed deck. The residual layer becomes whoever is in the forward cabin with the procedure, and whether anyone inside can still reach DENY. A same-day “second diversion” claim on another flydubai Tel Aviv flight was a tracking glitch. Strip that off the pile. So the honest ultra is not a hero movie and not a finished terror verdict. It is this: a violent flight-deck altercation on an Israel-bound jet, an extreme altitude excursion on public ADS-B, distress then unlawful-interference codes, a safe landing at Tabuk with both pilots hospitalised, an airline that still says motives are unknown, and a cockpit door that could only have opened by the system’s own allowed paths, not by force. The hard lesson is not “build a thicker door.” It is what happens when the last safety layer is a timer, a code, and the people sitting just outside.
BREAKING: a Flydubai Dubai–Tel Aviv jet, FZ1073, dropped roughly 17,400 feet in under two minutes, flashed "emergency" then "hijack" then "emergency" again on Flightradar24, and diverted into Tabuk after what Israeli officials tell CNN was a violent fight between the two pilots in the cockpit, while Channel 12 has a senior Israeli official saying the copilot is under investigation amid signs he tried to crash the plane and Saudi Tabuk’s airport operator says both captain and co-pilot were taken to hospital, per CNN, Times of Israel/Channel 12, FR24, Cluster2.
