🚨🇬🇧 UK Politicians FLEE the House of Commons in Parliament Why? Because a Debate Session was out to begin around the safety of Women & Children whom are about to be subjected to an ARMY of over a 1,000 unknown Military Age Fighting Men (many with Barbaric attitude towards Women) all dumped into their tiny village of Piddington - orchestrated by the same Politicians seen fleeing. Never let them try to convince you that they care about British Women & Children ever again.

A swan had to be put down after it was shot with ball bearings to his head and neck. Kirsty Marina discovered the injured bird at Hendre Lake in Cardiff on Tuesday night.

Melanoma was a rare disease within living memory. In 1935 an American's lifetime risk was one in 1,500. It is now about one in 33. The sun has not changed. Not better detection either. The dermatologist who published the 1,800 per cent rise went out of his way to rule that out, because the death rate was climbing alongside it. Not a failure to cover up. Sunscreen went from nothing to a global industry across the exact century melanoma exploded. Not sun exposure. A cancer registry across four Nordic countries and Australia found more melanoma in office workers than in the men who spent their working lives outdoors. So something changed inside the skin rather than above it. The omega-6 in American body fat went from 9 per cent in 1959 to 21 per cent by 2008, tracking the soybean oil supply almost exactly. That fat turns over on a half-life of roughly two years, so the skin you burned this summer was built out of the oil in your kitchen two summers ago. And sunburn is an inflammatory reaction. The fuel for it is the omega-6 sitting in your cell membranes when the light lands. Which is why four grams of omega-3 a day let volunteers take 36 per cent more UV before they burned, in a double-blind trial. Why fish oil cut the inflammatory signal in irradiated human skin by more than 60 per cent. Why mice fed seed oil burned worse than mice fed omega-3 under the same lamp. It is also why my inbox fills up every June. People two and three years into carnivore, fair-skinned, no cream, hours outside, telling me they come in pink now instead of scalded. I stopped burning somewhere in year two and assumed I had imagined it. Thousands of people reporting the same change, in the exact direction the mechanism predicts, is not a coincidence. It is data nobody has bothered to collect. The trial nobody wants to fund is two groups, one lamp, one kitchen running on sunflower oil and one on butter. Fifty years of advice about what to put on your skin. Not one word about what you built it from.

Until we have politicians in government who genuinely act as public servants rather than servants to their corporate donors, nothing fundamental will change.

UK Muslim Murder House: 41 Dogs Starved, Tortured, Murdered They tried to chew their own legs off they were so hungry. How can any human do this? UPDATE: We are now finding out there was a cover-up (read until end). This is the nightmare that unfolded at the fake “Save A Paw UK” rescue in Crays Hill, Essex. In February police smashed their way in and found pure hell: 41 dogs rotting in a mass grave crawling with maggots and rats, 21 more live dogs and one cat crammed into filthy pens with zero food or water. The smell of death hit vets from 40 metres away. Starved animals had gnawed on wood, on their own legs, anything to survive. Most were already dead. 26-year-old Muslim Oaveed Rahman ran the scam. He lured desperate British families on Gumtree and social media, pocketed up to £500 per dog with promises of training and loving new homes, then vanished. He admitted 11 fraud charges, animal cruelty, and illegally owning a banned XL Bully. On 20 February 2026 the court gave him just five years in prison and a lifetime ban on ever owning animals again. You may have seen the original horror. Now fresh details make it even worse. UPDATE: Public fury forced an MP to refer the “unduly lenient” sentence to the Attorney General. On 25 February they reviewed it and refused to toughen it - keeping the soft five-year term exactly as it was, even while calling the crimes “repellent.” At the same time Basildon Council quietly released its own damning report: they had received repeated complaints about Rahman’s property since early 2023 - noise, distressed dogs, suspicious activity - yet did almost nothing. No proper inspections, no shutdown, just endless excuses that “no licensing was required.” Officials knew the horror was coming and looked the other way. Why do you think they covered it up? This preventable massacre happened while Rahman, shaped by Islamic teachings that brand dogs najis (unclean) and ritually impure, turned trusting owners’ pets into a death camp. The pathetic sentence, the council’s years of inaction, and the obvious cultural clash feel like a slap in the face to every victim and every dog lover in Britain. When will authorities stop turning a blind eye and finally confront how these imported attitudes treat our loyal companions like vermin? He deserves the death penalty.
