The @UKLabour government, via the Home Secretary and Prime Minister promote and condone the subjugation of woman in the UK. Proof is in this picture. Women covered up and huddled at the back, banished from the conversation. Men front and centre, involved.
Please correct me if I am wrong…. Our Prime Minister, @Keir_Starmer, and Home Secretary, @ShabanaMahmood, appear to be entirely content with women being marginalized, erased, and excluded from the discourse, which is an essential aspect of sharia compliance society. The fact that some aspects of sharia have become normalized in British society is something they don't even appear to deny or resist anymore, I mean really?!?!

And tuppence off gherkins for you. If you can't see it yet there is no helping you.

They dissed Snoopy. That's a big no from me.
What a disgusting advert from John Lewis. Hard to think of a more unChristian message for *checks notes* Christmas. @JohnLewisRetail

Go on lad. Tell 'em. Look at the face of the media morons. Truth penetrating their bubble for the first time. Heartbreaking indeed.
Utterly heartbreaking. A must watch.

Lots here, but what stood out for me; “HMRC will be given powers to seize money from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their tax.” And won't we all agree it's a good thing tax evaders are made to pay their way! It's how government normalise intrusive state interventions. Tomorrow, what else? This establishes a precedent for further measures once the powers exist. Who decides where the line is? The erosion of civil liberty bit by bit.
🚨 NEW: John Healey is set to announce the following in his Budget later - The gas standing charge will be scrapped to save £27 a year on a typical bill - Green levies on energy bills will be scraped "for good" - NHS prescription charges will be frozen at £9.90 for another year - Poorer households on benefits will receive extra help with energy bills before January's sharp rises - The VAT cut on electricity bills, which was due to expire in April, will be extended (though it's not clear if this will be announced in the Budget or separately) - The Government will remove the link between gas and electricity prices, which currently inflates household bills, "in the long term" - Banks will face higher taxes, with the surcharge on their profits potentially rising from 3% to 8%, making it the Budget’s biggest revenue raiser - HMRC will be given powers to seize money from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their tax - The freeze on rail fares will reportedly not be extended beyond April - Online retailers like Amazon, eBay and Temu will be made responsible for collecting unpaid VAT from sellers to fund a cut in business rates for high street shops - The thresholds for income tax will be frozen again so another half a million people may be dragged into the higher rate - January's planned increase in fuel duty will be cancelled - Pensioners relying solely on the state pension will see their tax-free allowance rise to £13,036, in line with the pension increase, so they don't pay income tax - Billions in long-term borrowing to invest in defence firms and raise the share of GDP spent on defence (without breaking fiscal rules, as the investments are expected to generate returns) - The upcoming "Your First Home" scheme will be made more generous to provide greater support for middle-income earners - The Budget will also assume the Rosebank oil field is approved, which will generate "significant tax revenues"

An oldie but a goodie. In 1968 a bunch of entitled hippy bastards sent a letter detailing their specious demands to the Warden and Fellows of Wadham College, Oxford. This was their letter of reply, which speaks to how far the academy has since fallen.

Big fan of @SecRubio . No hyperbole, logical, rational. On top of his brief. Breath of fresh air I've no doubt he will be the President of the USA, if sanity prevails. I cannot name one cabinet member in the UK who could be said to be at this level. Nor MP. I could bloody weep.
So much logic. Try it. Try to listen to the chaos explained rationally … it’s so calming it might get outlawed. Warning ⚠️ : this might not trigger you bc it just makes too much sense.

This excellent video should be shown in our schools rather than the nonsense of Black History Month.

We must stop behaving like a Corporation with ever-expanding management, like John Lewis plc which drifted so disastrously ever further from its core business. We need more parish priests, ministering, visible, with the time to offer pastoral care, and infinitely fewer initiatives and policies from the top. The senior hierarchy blunders about; up to its neck in divisive identity politics, omnicauses and politicking, while our parishioners, whose generous donations keep us afloat, are all too often left bewildered and feeling neglected. If the CofE really were a commercial enterprise, I as a shareholder, would be calling for a vote of no confidence in the Board. Reduce the number of Bishops, and install better ones in the first place! God bless all the new members of General Synod, let’s hope they can talk some sense into those at the very top, including the Church Commissioners, who should be releasing much more of their funds to parishes, to fund recruitment, training and retention of clergy, and more generously rewarding retired clergy for their assistance.

My stepdaughter told my husband that the railways in Britain were built by the Windrush generation. He hesitated to tell me as he knew I would blow my top. Thankfully we are both historians via our degrees and ongoing education, he works in the history sector. He put her straight. From what I can ascertain so far in the last two academic years she has studied Malcom X, transatlantic slavery and the Windrush generation in her history lessons at her state secondary school. A school which otherwise I deem to be somewhat holding off the encroaching politicisation of education. Do I write an email to the school or do I sit on it an brood like I usually do?

They forgot to leave us alone. That was their mistake. 'This isn't fair dealing' Time to set our eyes on those who trample on justice and right, to stand like the ox in the furrow. kiplingsociety.co.uk/poem/po…

Bloody hell. I mean, bloody hell. Every one of these reported crimes has a victim/victims and ongoing impact on them, family, friends and the wider community. It is a betrayal isn't it? And nothing will be done. What are we to do?
Replying to @PatrickChristys
I have done two @GBNEWS exclusives in the last couple of weeks. At Crowborough, the number of reported crimes has risen by an average of 340% per month on the road where the migrant base is. At Wethersfield we found around 170 reported crimes between June 2023-July 2026.

What an admission. Yet, they put whole dispersal orders on towns to bring the rapists in to this country. No condemnation for that. No that is spared for those balaclava wersing men who would if they could, not the men who could so they did.
🚨JUST IN: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has claimed nearly every woman waiting in northern France to cross by small boat has been raped by other migrants on the journey. • She told The Rest Is Politics that gangs decide who gets on the dinghies. She said some men had also been abused and threatened, and that this should not be the model for who gets to stay and “become one of us”. • She said Britain was still not in control of the border. • Asked about balaclava-wearing protesters, she said they should “sod off”, that they would kill her if they could, and that they hate that she is muslim. • She also called herself part of the pro-Palestinian cause and said she was uncomfortable about 82 arrests at Labour conference under the Palestine Action ban, but defended applying the law.

Two Iranian small boat illegal migrants charged with terror offences. One had been granted asylum, one was still being processed. They arrived in 2020 and 2023 respectively. They were allegedly plotting an attack on the Jewish community in Manchester.
