Nigel Farage compares illegal migration to someone breaking down a door to a house, forcibly entering, and then given free food and lodging by the householder. Blunt and oh so true.

HMS Royal George - Triumph and Tragedy. The Royal George was laid down in 1746. Packing 100 guns on 3 levels, she was the first of a modern line of ships at that time which would also include HMS Victory. She took 10 years to build. Originally named the Royal Anne, this was then changed to the Royal George in a nod to the monarch at that time. She was launched in 1756 and gave the Royal Navy the status of having the largest warship afloat at the time. She joined the Channel Fleet and saw her first action in the Raid on Rochefort in 1759. She then took part in the of the blockade of the French fleet at Brest. She became Admiral Sir Edward Hawke's flagship in early November 1759. Admiral Hawke commanded the fleet from Royal George at the Battle of Quiberon Bayon 20 November 1759, where she sank the 74 gun French ship of the line Superbe. However, when peace arrived in 1762, because of the cost of crewing and provisioning this massive ship, she was laid up and her crew paid off. While laid up in Plymouth, she was extensively overhauled in over 3 years. The lay up continued until 1778 when the American War of Independence saw her refitted for active service. She again joined the Channel Fleet and would eventually become the flagship of Vice Admiral Sir John Lockhart Ross. The Royal George took part in the capture of the Spanish Caracas convoy on 8 January 1780, the Battle of Cape St. Vincent on 16 January, and then the successful relief of Gibraltar three days later. Royal George returned to Britain with the rest of the fleet, and had her hull coppered in April 1780 (coppering the hull improved both speed and manoeuvrability. She returned to service that summer, serving with the Channel Fleet. On 28 August 1782, Royal George had joined with Admiral Howe's fleet. The ships were anchored at Spithead and taking on supplies. No one would have guessed that this magnificent ship of the line would be about to experience a disaster of literally Titanic dimensions... @uk_sf_writer @TheNorskaPaul @offgriddesigner @MindInMotion93 @Raymond82310289 @GatesheadLad23 @GeorgeKedge @AngelaTokell @scobjen @SammieJack3 @enochscowll @DeBarsham @loopzy78 @FkkkTheUN @CilComLFC

More fool you for believing in and propagating the Climate Scam then. Try getting over the fact that a trace gas which comprises 0.01% of the atmosphere WON’T be causing Climate Armageddon. Climate Change is not a scientific fact but is a piece of political chicanery.🤨

A nice walk this afternoon on the Kent coast. The weather is starting to get a little chillier now though.

You seriously have to wonder if Kemi and Rupert are sharing a bottle of champagne over just how their joint operation is spiking Reform?🤔 Unfortunately for them, Reform voters wont return to the Tories. However, the Restore leadership are duping their members on an industrial scale. For example, look how Charlie EU Downes sneers at the Restore membership from his true home - the TORY Carlton Club.🤨 xitter.cf/DaveKent101/status/211…

This is so wrong. WE should not have to cover the energy bills of those who can't pay/ won't pay.😡 "Keith Anderson said that debts from household gas and electricity bills will hit at least £7bn next year, forcing suppliers to recoup more costs from those who are able to pay." telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Frankly Reform's pledge to prioritise raising the Income Tax threshold before cutting IHT will play better with the voters frankly. The Tories also have a credibility problem with what they say and what they do.🤨 Badenoch: I’ll scrap inheritance tax on family homes telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

An overjoyed Zack Polanski has just unveiled the new Green Party manifesto. “From the River to the Sea…”

Andy Burnham sings for YOU.🤣 Music and backing vocals from ‘Hard Labour’

Spare us the crocodile tears, Andy Burnham. The bloke is an utter liar and once again is targeting pensioners because very simply most of them don’t vote Labour (I wonder why?🤔). Scrapping the Triple Lock will ONLY save around £600 million per annum. Burnham’s social care proposals will cost around £18 billion per annum, yet Burnham claims this latest attack on pensioners is needed to pay for it.🤔 Burnham’s proposed Death Tax on all estates will raise around the £18 billion needed. So why this latest attack on pensioners, claiming it is needed for social care?🤔🤔🤔 Yet look at what Burnham COULD HAVE CUT instead, without raising taxes OR robbing pensioners: Reinstating the 2 child benefit limit would save around £3 billion annually. Foreigners claiming benefits account for £12 billion annually. UK Foreign Aid totals around £7.2 billion annually. Keir Starmer’s aborted cuts to PIP would have saved £5 billion annually. Not a dickie bird on Defence either.🤦🏼‍♂️ God I detest Burnham and the Labour rabble around him.🤨

Really? 🤔 Please provide evidence to back up your claim, Mr Hodges…

Lefties on here wonder why I repeatedly refer to this LABOUR government as both useless and dangerous?🤔 Well here is a perfect example. The local government minister - Jim McMahon defended the upcoming tourist tax but admitted the government had carried out NO ASSESSMENT of its effect on the country and the economy.🤦‍♂️ 100,000 people have already lost their jobs in Hospitality under this LABOUR government. Now thousands more are at risk because of yet another LABOUR tax.🤨 So I say yet again - LABOUR 2026 are the most useless and dangerous government of all time.
