Dear Can’t Buy My Silence, The University of Salford publicly promises not to use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in cases of harassment or sexual misconduct, yet in private court correspondence its lawyers have refused to confirm or deny whether a rape allegation was ever reported or whether confidentiality measures were used. Your pledge exists to stop exactly this kind of opacity — to ensure survivors can speak and institutions cannot hide behind legal paperwork or proced

A litigant who sued the University of Salford claims the institution refused to confirm or deny whether it concealed an allegation of rape, after targeted CPR Part 18 questions were met with blanket objections between July and September 2025. The refusal continued even after the university – which it has also been alleged took no action after a 2024 complaint of homophobic abuse - was offered the option of redacting any personal details or information which could identify the

Israel claims to be threatened by its Palestinian enemies.

When the smears come - and they have already started - the playbook will be familiar: leak a private remark, amplify a fringe tweet, conflate criticism of a government policy with hatred of a people. Those tactics don’t just cost a few votes; they persuade gatekeepers to close ranks. They make broadcasters hunt for scandal rather than substance. They persuade undecided voters that this new force is not just radical but reckless or dangerous.

Unlike nations that grew organically over centuries, Israel was imposed on a complex patchwork of people, cultures, and histories. Borders were drawn not by shared identity but by foreign powers, historical claims, and geopolitical convenience. The result is a state built on tension, not cohesion—a pressure cooker of competing claims that has never been resolved.
