Uten X hadde vi ikke fått vite at terroren i Krakow ble utført av en antifa person . Vi vet også at myndigheten har båret fram disse med penger og støtte hele veien .

They’re coming for Poland because it’s one of the last great places. Trying to make us all think a “far right” terrorist would open fire on people in a conservative country…if you believe that. I have tartan paint to sell you at a great price

So Andy Burnham is giving more of our money away to the EU to fix poorer European countries roads. Meanwhile this evening in the UK I need a new wheel because of a pot hole.

We should have a rule that while we have any national debt we can’t give out foreign aid.

Restore Britain now considers the entire British immigration system fundamentally illegitimate. The scale of the betrayal has been extraordinary. Successive governments have opened our borders, handed out permanent settlement and granted citizenship on a scale the British people never voted for. There are Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians who are wholly responsible - they must be held to account. We do not accept that their traitorous decisions should bind future generations forever. In short - we will not accept the third-worldification of our beautiful country. From today, November 2nd 2026, every new grant of immigration status or citizenship under the existing system will be reversed by a Restore Britain Government. We will introduce retrospective legislation to revoke every one of those grants upon taking office. Those affected will be assessed under Restore Britain's stringent immigration Red List, not the failed rules of previous governments. Those who meet our new requirements may qualify for time-limited permission to remain - in small and manageable numbers, delivering benefits for our people whilst protecting the demographic security of our nation. Our Red List will ensure that. Those who do not meet those requirements will be required to leave. Politely at first, then not. We will abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain entirely, revoke existing ILR grants and end the routine scam progression from temporary visas to British citizenship. We will also legislate for the retrospective cancellation of naturalisation grants, with the exception we have set out for citizenship obtained through marriage to a British citizen. The British people have every right to elect a government that fundamentally changes the immigration system - other governments have manipulated the system to import millions. We will do the same, but to deport. Restore Britain will not simply slow down the consequences of mass immigration. We intend to reverse them.

Only taxpayers should be allowed to vote. Anyone on welfare benefits should forfeit their right to vote until they are off of government assistance.

I posted a picture of my parent's village where the residents have managed to keep it free of road markings. I use it as a visual example of how overladen we are with bureaucracy that makes people's lives worse, in the name of making it better. It's very hard to argue against any regulation supposedly based on safety or performance that are used as a universal trump card to create an arms race of rules and our built environment is now full of them. ht @Alright_dot for the render with signage. Original on the right.

At Tesla, we even care about the chipmunks
98-Year-Old Man Buys His First Self-Driving Tesla Model Y And Is Blown Away “I've been driving it probably 2-3 months, and it's not made an error in its driving. In fact, the other day it stopped - a chipmunk was crossing the road, and there was no other traffic, and it did not run over the chipmunk … For somebody that's 98-years-old, this is a real treat.”

🇬🇧 The OBR just dropped 200 pages on Healey's first Budget. I read it so you don't have to. Tax is at a record 37.9% of GDP by 2027-28, past the old high of 37.2%. Then it climbs every single year to 38.6%. Frozen thresholds are doing way too much to workers since they get a pay rise, hand more of it over. 1.8x the national minimum wage now classes you as a higher tax rate payer - what the fuck? Borrowing @ £133bn this year. In March they said £115bn. Seven months later it's £18bn worse. And it's higher than March in every year of the forecast because neither the OBR nor treasury has a clue what they’re doing. Debt interest at £39bn in 2019-20. £109bn last year 😩 £160bn by 2031-32 😩😩£15bn of this year's bill is extra bc inflation's pushing up index linked gilts, and we know the uk has a structural inflation problem, partly due to the relationship between treasury and BoE. Headroom is £14.5bn, down from £21.7bn at the last Budget. Keep the fuel duty freeze going and it's £10.2bn. The OBR gives Healey a 56% chance of hitting his OWN FUCKING rule. Debt will peak at 97.3% of GDP, still 95.6% in 2031-32. Five years and it barely moves which is completely against his fiscal demands. How it affects you? Growth 1% next year with gdp per capita basically the same as it has been since 2019 Inflation 3.4% when March said 2%. Zero real pay growth in 2027. Living standards in 2030-31? Just 2% above pre-pandemic. But don't worry. You're getting a £100 council tax rebate. Jesus Christ.

Replying to @SBarrettBar
Because the entire left wing narrative is that right wing leads to Nazis. If that is not true then the whole left mantra collapses! They can't keep calling everyone Nazis just because they want string borders or Nazis because they disagree with Islam etc. It completely destroys the left
