I just got a note from a Jewish mother in Leeds who took her kids to the Vue cinema at The Light for a birthday on Remembrance Sunday. The staff member checking tickets was wearing a Palestinian badge, and she told him she didn't think staff should wear political badges that can make customers feel uncomfortable. She says two managers were called, her family was refused entry, and one manager told her she wouldn't get a refund if she kept complaining. @vuecinemas, can you confirm your version? Are your staff allowed to wear political badges on shift, and what happens to a customer who comes in with her children and says a badge makes her feel intimidated?

Have you seen this on the news in the uk? Of course you haven’t. Why is this not THE biggest news item. Why is the agenda still being pushed?
The UN has publicly announced that climate change never existed!! Solar power generation was just about vested interests. All man-made!! That's the whole story!!! 🐸

The document also pledges its commitment to the International Criminal Court in Point 15, but not when EU criminals are concerned; in Point 51, the UK has had to agree to disobey its own Sentencing Act 2026 by not deporting EU criminals, even though the point of the Sentencing Act was to reduce the pressure on UK prison capacity. So, the UK's Sentencing Act 2026 will only apply to criminals from non-EU countries. EU criminals will still take up UK prison places, and UK taxpayers will still be paying for their incarceration, while new criminals will be given noncustodial sentences because we don’t have enough prison places, but that’s OK because we can’t possibly upset the EU.

I worked for John Lewis for 25 years, until I was sacked for personal opinions that the woke, modern John Lewis didn't agree with. It was once a great company to work for and a true British institution. The Christmas adverts were the highlight of the year. They captured the mood of the nation, they made us laugh and they made us cry, and everyone looked forward to the moment they were released. This new advert says more about modern Britain than I think John Lewis intended. It captures entitlement and woke madness gone overboard. It captures zero discipline, no boundaries and no respect for the elderly. The one thing this advert captures perfectly is how far this country has fallen. That's my take, as someone who gave that company 25 years.

Listening to @ZiaYusufUK on @TalkTV saying when he's Home Secretary, he'll stop giving visas to any country who asks for reparations from us. Finally. Someone who puts the UK first. 🇬🇧

I note the much anticipated annual showing of the new John Lewis advert. Every year there is hype surrounding it. I've now seen it, and my thought? It's a proper nasty portrayal of a couple of horrible, bratty children, who are not reprimanded or scolded by their parents. A poor grandma, who tries her best to please and appease them, only to be ignored. Still no input from the couldn't care less parents. It's a dismal showing of what should be a lovely occasion. Christmas.

If you want to understand why the British public raised nearly £400k for homeless British veterans in a few hours, just look at these news articles from today. British taxpayers paying more welfare for migrants, funding poor EU countries and giving £40m to the Caribbean. The public’s priorities are clear! Charity starts at home. It starts with British veterans. Justgiving.com/page/saveourv…

It is that time of year again, folks. Dig deep a donate your hard earned cash, to help British Children in Need. EXCEPT Children in Need, gives Grants to ANYWHERE, but, needy British children. The BBC used to post a "grants list" but they stopped doing this a few years ago as people, were finding out, what a skewed definition the BBC has on the phrase "Children jn Need" To the BBC the definition of needy children extends to: Illegal immigrants Convicted criminals Foreign NGO's & Just about EVERY SOCIALIST CAUSE under the sun! Are you donating this year?

This is not World News! World News is President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, was denied permission to land in Poland? Imagine! His military pilots landed his plane without permission. In case you didn't know, Poland surrounds itself with walls and razor wire. Poland has zero Muslim immigration. Poland has a peaceful, Polish culture. Because it refuses mass immigration by Muslims who hate them, Poland is a Globalist target. That's world news!

More footage has emerged showing what happened at the top of the stairs between Caroline Voaden and Nigel Farage. Once again it completely contradicts her account. At no point does the footage show Nigel behind Caroline or trying to push her out of the way. What it does show is Caroline continuously badgering Nigel until he finally moves out of the way and lets her barge past him. Yesterday she said the incident occured before the footage showing her barging past him. Now a second clip has emerged showing what happened at the top of the stairs, she's now saying the incident happened before that clip as well. Ok Caroline. We can clearly see a long line of people queueing in single-file behind you in the new clip, did he push all of those people out of the way as well? Now all the usual left-wing suspects in the media and politics are accusing Nigel of being 'scared' of the Lib Dems. No, he just understands that after trying everything else to discredit him, they are now sinking even lower by trying to brand him as some kind of misogynistic bully and I don't blame him for not wanting to be anywhere near them. We see what they're doing and they're not happy that this time it has backfired massively. Imagine what would be happening now if none of this footage had emerged. Vote Reform.

I’ve tried to find myself in the video because I remember this pretty clearly. I think I’m one row back just out of shot on the left of the screen. It’s completely beyond me how and why Caroline has presented herself as the victim here. She was bloody rude and really quite confrontational and she did it for no other reason than Nigel is Nigel and she wanted to give him a piece of her mind. Anything other than it being a bit of a rush and a squeeze because of the occasion is nonsense. From what I remember Caroline was both the instigator and the aggressor.
Shocked and bloody angry I think... it takes more than that to shake me. I may be a woman, but I'm not the snowflake here.

🚨THIS IS JUDGE MAGGIE SCOTT She let child rapist Daniel Cieslak — who pleaded GUILTY to raping a 12-YEAR-OLD girl — WALK FREE from her courtroom with an ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE. No jail. No real punishment. She said there was “no public interest” in punishing him because he thought the girl looked older and “willingly participated.” But wait — it gets worse. This same judge previously sparked outrage by praising Algerian rapist Hamadache Hamza while sentencing him. Hamza brutally raped a woman over an entire weekend. Yet Lady Scott gave him “credit” for overcoming his “very difficult background” in Algeria to settle in Britain and open a hairdressing business. This is what happens when judges care more about a predator’s “background” and “success” than protecting innocent children and women. Judges like this are why victims are re-traumatized and criminals laugh. We need real justice — tough judges who put victims first and predators behind bars where they belong. What do you think should happen to judges who show this kind of leniency?
