🚨 Groomed: A National Scandal. 🚨 There is so much more to share about all the girls, and it's truly a journey that deserves a series of its own. 🚨 There needs to be more publicity about children's homes. Only 2 years ago Scarlett was groomed in a Asian male-run home. Unfortunately, that was not included in the documentary. 🚨 I can't express how proud I am of my daughter Scarlett for finding the courage to speak out. Unfortunately, this bravery does come with emotional challenges for her. 🚨 Tonight was particularly difficult for me; it was deeply upsetting to witness. I want to thank everyone for their support during this time. Now, it’s crucial that we pursue a national statutory inquiry. Please consider joining me in this prioritising campaign to protect our children. ❤️ #groomed #channel4 #publicinquiry

A so called “serious” journalist shilling for Gordon brown who sold our gold for literally pennies on the pound
Very good piece by Gordon Brown. He should be appointed Britain’s sherpa to organise an emergency G20 meeting ex the USA. We cannot be supine before idiocy. Trump is pushing the world into recession. By learning the lessons of 2008, we can still prevent it theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Nailed it , we are governed by 🤡
. Sorry: Another Steel Rant. Something I know A Lot About. . Having worked with steel and in an around steel for my entire working life, even to the extent of pseudo steel making in a steel foundry. I'll explain that in a moment. Using 'blast' furnaces is 'the' only way to make top quality virgin steel. Structurally sound steel that you can use for instance in nuclear vessels, structural building steel, Railway tracks, armaments...etc. Which is why I was so annoyed about Miliband closing the blast furnaces in Port Talbot, in favour of electric arc furnaces. Yes, I know he didn't start it, the Conservatives did. But 'he' made sure it happened. The reason I mention pseudo steel from electric arc furnaces, is because it isn't real steel. It's made from often highly contaminated scrap steel from anywhere they can get it. Which would inevitably get imported from God knows where. Where I worked, we had two small electric arc furnaces. We often joked it was honeycomb steel, because very often it was. Now let's look at the ridiculous cost of energy (electric) to power electric arc furnaces. Due to green levies and having 'the' most expensive electricity, probably in the world. Where I worked they had just two small furnaces. Before the energy nightmare (one 1,000 Kg furnace and one 1,600kg furnace). The monthly bill for power was in the region of £16,000 a month, which is pretty eye watering anyway. Once the 'crisis' (self made by Miliband) hit. The Monthly bill shot up to around £50,000 a month. And that was 'after' putting the guys on only 3 days a week. Can you possibly imagine what the cost for a plant like Port Talbot would cost in terms of electricity. I don't know how many furnaces they plan but just in terms of the cost of electricity is prohibitive. To produce honeycomb steel? In Miliband's grand scheme, powered by windmills and solar panels. There is no possible way that would even remotely provide the required power. So lets Import gas from Norway, who drill in the same sea as we don't any more. Thanks Mad Ed. Ok, let's move on to iron ore. A blast furnace 'has' to use pure iron ore to produce the quality steel. We don't mine it any more in the UK...Another vulnerability. How about coking coal which is essential to get the temperatures a blast furnace needs. We don't mine that any more even though we have a plentiful supply right under our feet. It's all very well Starmer being the big man and 'possibly' saviour of British Steel. To show he's the big man of steel. Errrr...No. Without the iron or, the coking coal and reduced electricity costs, it will be a black hole with importing everything else we need to make 'proper' steel. Shame on him for not realising this when Port Talbot went down the plug hole. The faster Miliband is dumped and net zero dumped, the better off we'll be. Instead of Starmer jetting around the world playing, "I'm the big I am"...

Wow 😵‍💫
‘You can't say it destroyed their lives … cause the people I've spoke to, it hasn't’ - Labour’s ex-Leader of Oldham Council Amanda Chadderton, now Campaigns Manager in Yvette Cooper’s Home Office team, consistently downplayed the drugging, gang raping and trafficking children.

These people hate you
Listen to how angry Liberal Democrat Tessa Munt is when Conservative MPs discuss the rape gangs scandal in Parliament. She mentions "white men" to distract from the group-based child sexual exploitation committed disproportionately by gangs of Pakistani Muslim men and covered up by councils, social workers, police officers, and politicians for decades. Disgraceful.

Says everything
BREAKING: Labour has DROPPED plans for five local rape gang inquiries - instead putting the money into "locally led work" IS THIS THE FINAL BETRAYAL OF RAPE GANG SURVIVORS?

Nailed it
The Pakistani airport debacle sums up so much of what is wrong with British politics. British MPs are elected to defend and promote British interests. Not Pakistan. Not Palestine. Britain. They can call me Islamophobic all they like - I am right. British Parliamentarians, elected and paid by the British people, should not be wasting their time lobbying for an airport in Pakistan. It has got NOTHING to do with any of us. If the people of Mirpur have to face an awkward journey to the Islamabad airport? That is not something I am going to lose much sleep over. Sorry, Tahir. If the Pakistanis want to build a new airport, great. Let’s leave it to them. Quite frankly, I couldn’t care less what they do - with the one exception of increasing their capacity to accept deportations. Distressingly, growing pockets of migrant populations now dominate local politics so fervently that these issues are seen as vote winners. I do not like to think where all of this ends. What a hole our politicians have dug for us. It continues to get deeper, and deeper, and deeper.

Imagine needing security staff in greggs 🙄
🚨🇬🇧In the UK, checkout staff are having to defend themselves as crime waves torment cities up and down the country. The Police don't care. Soon people will start using weapon to defend themselves. Can you blame them? This country is going to hell.

Touché
Saw a documentary on TV where all the MPs were idiotic simpletons who didn't have a clue what they were doing and the country was run by power mad civil servants. It should be shown in schools.

Wonder why ???
The BBC’s excellent ‘Three Girls’ is on @BBCiPlayer - based on the terrifying ordeals suffered by thousands of child abuse victims meted out by grooming gangs in Rochdale, but which Labour Councils enabled across the UK. It isn’t being shown in schools. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0…

And the hits keep coming
UK taxpayers will spend £108 million on a ‘Climate Investment Fund’ in Pakistan. What projects will this money be spent on? How will success be measured? This is while UK MPs have been lobbying for a new airport in Pakistan.

The fucking state of our MP’s , duplicitous
So Zarah Sultana opposes LHR expansion but thinks Britain should help fund an airport in not just a foreign country but a hostile country. I guess those climate concerns aren't so strong...

mind boggling 😵‍💫🤡
"In order to deliver the growth effect, there will have to be some additional managed migration." Former Chancellor, Lord Philip Hammond showing on Sky News how ideological the Westminster economic orthodoxy is. Despite 95 percent of annual immigrants being net-tax recipients, both parties believe migration is still an economic good. The Office for Budget Responsibility doesn't believe Labour's promised 1.5 million new homes will decrease house price inflation, because at least 1.5 million migrants will be added to Britain over the period they are built. Mass migration is unpopular with the electorate, bankrupting our country, and yet most politicians want it to continue.

A brief summary of life in the UK: 27 million private sector workers support 9 million economically inactive people aged 16-64, 6 million public sector workers, and 13 million pensioners. If you suggest any part of this is unsustainable, people compare you to Hitler.
