>She remembers how friends envied her freedom; while they were tied down with dinner duty, their kids’ homework, and college savings, Kant spent her evenings painting and didn’t think twice about going out on weeknights >Then by her 50s, she was starting to rethink all of her choices: "Then in her 50s, after her own mother died, she went through a period of regret that she had decided against single motherhood." >Then her 60s roll around, and the inevitable starts to hit. In her case, it's heart surgery. No one to help her physically or mentally. No one with power of attorney. She recovers by herself, in a condo she must maintain, which she is now realizing must be sold as it has stairs >She maintains a literal spreadsheet of friends to call to ask for help with specific issues, but they are starting to die off, too.

Free advice to parents: This isn’t about anyone in particular, but keep your kids away from influencers. If they want politics, teach them the classics. If they want entertainment, give them beauty. Influencers will leave them intellectually, morally, and spiritually broken.

Around half of the British students on the Turing Scheme studied in Europe. More British students went to Italy on the Turing Scheme last year than went to Italy on Erasmus. The Government's messaging around Erasmus has been a straightforward lie. – at Colnbrook, South East

With the weak QE2 memorial, we forget that civic skill & ambition were once core to English identity. So Happy St. George's Day from Europe's longest Georgian façade, Europe's biggest bronze sculpture, the world's 1st council estate & the world's tallest isolated stone column.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Remember that libs have absolutely no problem with state sanctioned and administered killing... as long as the person being killed isn't a criminal *Then* it's something that must be stopped at all costs

This is grim BEYOND belief. Does Mr. Gordon treasure the Soviet approach to family relations? Of course this poor father wanted to save his traumatised daughter's life!
🚨During the Westminster assisted suicide Bill’s Commons Committee Stage, pro-assisted suicide MP Tom Gordon criticised the father of Noelia Castillo for trying to save her life, smearing his efforts. Don’t expect that assisted suicide supporters here would stop such cases!

Just so we’re clear on what happened: Noelia Castillo Ramos was given the death penalty for being raped, while her rapists roam free. Outcome brought to you by Toxic Empathy, which always prioritizes the plight of the guilty rather than the rights of the innocent.
>Be Noelia Castillo Ramos >Your parents love you >They fall on difficult financial times >You are ripped away from them by the government >Your grandmother and mom are crying and begging >They bring 12 police officers to stop any resistance >You are placed in a “teen shelter” full of muslim migrants >You aren’t allowed to leave >The staff treats you like you are worthless >The muslim teens decide to gang r*pe you >You think you will get help >Nobody comes. Nobody listens. >They rape you again, with even more people this time >You try to report it >The women in charge of the shelter are woke liberals >They refuse to report it to avoid making muslim immigrants look bad >They won’t do anything >You try to be happy >You can’t move on >You jump from the 5th story of the building >By the grace of God, you live >You are injured, but you still have hope >The state tells you about the option of euthanasia >You pass it off at first >The trauma keeps replaying in your brain >Still, nobody is helping >You feel hopeless >Spain is falling >You decide to do it because you feel worthless >Your dad fights to keep you alive for years >He loses in two different liberal courts >You are scheduled for euthanasia >The days pass >You do an interview, which is really a desperate cry for help >Still, nobody does >The date gets closer >They keep you isolated so you have no idea there is so much love and support is outside >Your best friend desperately tries to get up to talk to you >She is blocked by doctors who seem to take pleasure in the power they have >The process begins >You are alone and probably pretty scared >You feel like you have no choice >The sedative sets in >The last thing you see is a cold, dark hospital room >The toxin is administered >Your lungs slowly stop working >You die in your sleep >Your abusers still face no consequences >You become a monument to the failure of a state that was supposed to protect you

Just so people understand what happened here: These women claimed asylum because they were likely to be tortured and killed for a gesture standing up to the regime. The regime then started kidnapping their families instead to force them to come home and face likely execution.

🚨BOMBSHELL EXPOSÉ: TREVOR PHILLIPS RIPS LID OFF LABOUR'S GROOMING GANGS COVER-UP 💣 Keir Starmer and the Labour Party Sabotaging National Inquiry to Hide Racial Targeting of White Girls and Decades of Failure in Their Own Councils In a devastating intervention, Sir Trevor Phillips has blown the whistle on what he calls a deliberate political cover-up at the heart of Britain's grooming gangs scandal. The former Equality and Human Rights Commission chair accuses Labour of sabotaging the national inquiry because of its explosive racial implications — and because so much of the abuse took place under Labour-controlled councils that did nothing to stop it. “The government clearly never wanted these two things to be put together,” Phillips declared. He points to Labour's efforts to downplay “the intersection of race and sexual predation,” insisting the perpetrators deliberately targeted victims because they were white and outside the groomers' community. “These children are chosen because of their race. They are chosen because they are white and because they’re outside the community of the groomers.” Phillips highlights the chilling uniqueness of these crimes: unlike typical child abuse kept hidden, grooming gangs operate in plain sight — with perpetrators knowing they are shielded. “The other thing is these people know that they are protected. They’re protected politically, they’re protected by social workers, they’re protected by local police. That is the scandal here.” He pulls no punches on why a full reckoning has been avoided: “Much of this took place in local Labour councils and the authorities who were supposed to be watching over this, stopping it, monitoring it and all the rest of it were controlled by those councils and they did nothing.” This is not just institutional failure — it's a politically motivated shield thrown over horrific, racially aggravated sexual exploitation that went on for years under Labour's watch. Right now, they deserve justice — and Britain deserves the full, fearless national inquiry that has been denied for far too long.

When you support a large welfare system you should be careful with the idea on restricting services to people who aren't net contributors. Also all the UK is doing is providing flights, its not like there operating missile defence.
