I honestly think we need to take a long, hard look at charities. I know it's likely to create a moral backlash but that is why corruption chooses the shield of "charity". It's the first line of deception/defence. "You can't attack this multi billion money laundering operation! They fund a school in Africa! What will happen to that school if you indict the £500k+ a year salaried CEO?!". Of course there are legitimate charities that do work hard to make change. But it seems to be the most sinister of practices to use our good nature against us in the way that these bogus charities do. These corrupt parties sully one of our most righteous principles. And charity is a righteous principle as long as it is serving its proper purpose.

I'm trying to avoid any government announcements about the budget. There are only so many different ways they can say "we're going to raise taxes" and I'm pretty sure I've heard them all a thousand times already.

What is the point of a manifesto when it's so readily binned after election? The fundamental premise is that the manifesto presents what people are voting for. When they break manifesto pledges they are operating without a mandate from their voters.

Scottish independence has been sold as a political ideal. Our exclusive report reveals the reality: bankruptcy, currency chaos, and economic isolation. When the official data is laid out, this is a price no Scot would want to pay: facts4eu.org/news/2026_oct_s… Pls re-post !

Shouldn't his victims be able to go to court and argue that this animal has breached their human rights? And it's their human right to see him face the toughest of sentences as well as be deported (in a box)?
UK: Somalian migrant Dahir Ibrahim has raped so many women at knifepoint in the UK it is almost unbelievable. These women's lives will be changed forever but he has successfully won several court cases now because of human rights laws. He has successfully appealed a prison term after multiple rapes and was given a community order. Within weeks he had raped more women at knifepoint. After being finally sentenced to 10 years he blocked the Home Office's ability to deport him (Kier Starmer might have been his defence). He has now successfully sued the NHS trust since despite being addicted to Codeine has has argued that he was made to take it during Ramadan which goes against his human rights. And he has won. You tell me how fkd up the UK is right now.

A great rant from a friend: “I don't know who's running the British newspapers at the moment, but I reckon somebody's accidentally given the editorial jobs to a bunch of fucking doomsday preppers. Have you seen the absolute state of the news lately? World War Three. Nuclear Armageddon. Russian cyberattacks. Chinese hackers. Emergency survival kits. How to prepare for the end of civilisation. Every bloody newspaper seems to be running the same story. You'd think Vladimir Putin had been spotted at Dover services with a tank and a packed lunch. And apparently, the most important thing we can do to prepare for all this is go shopping. Seriously. We're being advised to stockpile food, water, torches, batteries and enough toilet roll to survive the collapse of Western civilisation. Do they genuinely believe we're all going to read these articles, leap off the sofa and charge down to Asda like there's a fucking trolley dash on? I reckon somebody's looked at the Christmas retail figures and thought, "How can we get these bastards to spend another two hundred quid?" "Tell them the Russians are coming." "Brilliant. We'll shift those seventeen pallets of corned beef we've had sitting in the warehouse since Easter." And what exactly am I supposed to do with all these emergency supplies if there's a nuclear attack? Imagine it. You're sitting in your living room, minding your own business, when suddenly there's an enormous flash outside. The windows explode. The roof comes off. There's a nuclear shockwave tearing through the city, flattening everything in its path. And there you are, crawling across the kitchen floor, desperately trying to get the fucking tin opener out of the drawer. "QUICK! SOMEBODY GET THE BEANS!" What fucking difference are beans going to make? You're about to be vaporised at several thousand degrees. I don't think the nutritional benefits of baked beans are going to be particularly relevant. But the politicians are the funniest part of all this. Angela Rayner was asked what she'd be stockpiling. Sauvignon Blanc and mascara. Sauvignon Blanc and fucking mascara! I love that. The world's coming to an end, millions could die, civilisation might collapse, but Angela's making sure she's got a decent bottle of white and her eyelashes done. Then Andy Burnham comes along telling people not to stockpile alcohol because they need to keep a clear head. Well, thank Christ we've got that sorted. One politician's preparing for the apocalypse like she's going to an all-inclusive resort in Tenerife, and another's telling everybody to drink responsibly. And apparently Andy's emergency supplies include Twiglets. Fucking Twiglets. I mean, at what point did the national security discussion turn into everybody comparing what they've brought to a children's birthday party? We're supposedly facing the possibility of World War Three, and our political leaders are having a conversation that wouldn't sound out of place in the middle aisle of Aldi. And then there's the cyberattack warnings. Apparently, Russia or China could launch a massive cyberattack and bring down our communications, electricity supplies and essential services. Right. And what am I supposed to do about that? Unplug the kettle? Put the laptop in a biscuit tin? I can just imagine some highly trained Russian cyberwarfare specialist sitting in Moscow, surrounded by millions of pounds' worth of sophisticated computer equipment. "Comrade, we have penetrated the British national infrastructure." "Excellent. Shut down their electricity." "We cannot, sir." "Why not?" "Some bastard in Ellesmere Port has wrapped his Virgin Media router in fucking Bacofoil." It's a good job Churchill isn't around to witness this. "We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall never surrender." "Unless we've run out of Pot Noodles, in which case we're absolutely fucked." What a fucking pantomime.”

Jesus @Brammflakes I just noticed that there is an unlock item in all but 2 of the levels in the recon tree. No guessing which class you like to play. Meanwhile support gets an item every 5 levels after level 35. I'm feeling pretty stiffed. Not to mention the new LMG is a pile of wank.

There is a perennial conversation about how politicians are disconnected from the ordinary person and it's often a fair observation. But Burnham is representative of this to a much bigger degree. As a lifelong functionary within the party machine he still exists in the Blair era. He is an anachronism from Cool Britannia when there were £1 a pint nights at the local boozer and a tenner could get you smashed and leave you change for a taxi home. It doesn't occur to him that £1.75 a month could fall out of your pocket and most people wouldn't notice. Even if you said "well, it all adds up when you put it together" would 10 policies that save you £1.75 a month make any difference? Would £17.50 a month really change your life? You could pay your license fee, I guess. But it still wouldn't cover the VAT on £100 of fuel.
Thank you, Andy Burnham. We’re so lucky to have you as PM. How will you spend your £1.75 a month?! (I know it doesn’t even cover even a tiny bit of the energy increase) but we are so grateful to have you as PM…

Liberals just cannot comprehend this mindset. They do not understand how an entire culture can operate these thought processes. It's not random individuals diverting from the group to commit these disgusting crimes. It's not seen as morally contemptible by their ingroup because it isn't in the ingroup moral framework to be disgusted by it.
Two years a follower sent me this, a Muslim woman telling her of the men's attitude to white girls, which is utter contempt. It was confirmed when @RupertLowe10's Inquiry was published. "A Muslim friend of mine was explaining to me that basically white girls are seen as just something to f**k, like prostitutes. Mainly married men & fathers can carry on being good dad's & fathers & just rape white girls like a release. "They don't see it as rape, like they don't see shagging a goat as rape. "She said "like some white blokes watch porn, they go & 'shag' a white girl". She's said it so flippantly. To them, "rape" would be to force yourself on a "pure" Muslim woman. To them, this isn't "rape" - these girls are nothing. Just shit on their shoes. They barely see them as human. "She said the wives know & don't even care, because most of them don't love their husbands anyway, a lot of the marriages are arranged, so as long as they don't have to have sex with them, they couldn't care less if they're raping white girls - if it 'keeps them (their husbands) off their backs'". "She was trying to say it to me like a positive thing. "This is why most Muslim marriages last so long" she said, "because they don't have to worry about the sex side of things - he can just get laid when he wants, & she can get on with being a wife.. you know like in white British marriages & they all break up because the wife won't shag her husband, & so he has an affair? "'Well, like, in Muslim communities, the wives, unless they need or want a baby, if they don't want sex, they just let him or encourage him to got off and f**k a white girl'. "She was saying this to me like it was all perfectly normal & didn't know why I was so shocked or angry about it. "She added 'its not like they're nice girls though is it? Is not like it's your daughter who goes to church & stuff, it's just like little slags that go drinking down the park & stuff'. "I just couldn't believe what she was saying. This is a woman who I have really cared about & thought we were friends. This mindset is deep. She got a few choice words. I don't think we're friends anymore. "I just needed to share it because I'm really angry."

Labour needs a war because a war removes all spending and borrowing limitations. A war allows the most extreme economic policies to pass unhindered. A bonus for Labour is that they get to send all the people who wouldn't vote for them to the front line or to prison. From Labour's perspective going to war is a no-brainer.

Predictions… Nothingburger budget from Healey, whose incompetence is visible from space, and r-Andeh who doesn’t know why we’re “in hock to the bond market”. In December, r-Andeh goes to the polls to get new mandate for big spending spree, sold to us as defence driven to ward off Putin and build infrastructure- because he can’t deliver what they want to under current fiscal rules. This will be a rouse. Labour will win if they go this year (and lose if they go next year*). On the timeline where they win, they will - of course - then borrow even more and spend it all on welfaremaxxing for their client groups. They then will crater the economy harder than anyone before them through even more retarded socialism. We then get net zero Miliband blackouts and Russian/Chinese/Iranian/North Korean AI driven cyber attacks on our grid and supermarkets/food supply chain. Iranian energy (oil refinery infra capacity lagged effect) and delayed Urea/Phosphorous fertiliser shortage via Hormuz = food inflation shock, so far not fully felt, landing too. Inflation broadly up. The least capable politicians of all time - a coalition like the Tories before them - will struggle to remain cohesive during this period and will split the party even further. This will cause leadership contests now they’ve popped their regicide cherry. Bond crisis from massive tax receipt shortfall in Feb* (will push them into election in May if haven’t gone in 2026*) causes sterling to get nailed, driving inflation up even further as cost of goods coming into Britain get much dearer - and the reaction will be widespread civil unrest because the population is broadly at breaking point mentally and financially - credit card defaults and delinquencies up, even more job losses, unemployment up, and that will all combine to spark fresh GE risk, potentially as soon as next year. May, perhaps, after local elections. Almost certainly by 2028. Only then —when the lethal combo of a bond crisis, an energy crisis, a food shortage crisis, a cost of living crisis on steroids, and Labour tax policy as the foreplay and AI decimating the labour market and tax base as the main event - all arriving one after the other or in some instances simultaneously —will the British people fully realize how doggedly and relentlessly fucked they have been by the Uniparty’s decrepit somnambulist Oxbridge PPE retards, since 1997. Then they will wake up. What they were promised hasn’t been delivered. What they believed was a lie. The new paradigm will force them to accept the 4th turning is upon them. They will want something new. Something radical. Something optimistic. They will vote accordingly.
EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham must “take the knife” to public spending in the budget or risk a Liz Truss-style crisis that will “crater” the economy and the government’s popularity, an ally of the prime minister has warned Andy Haldane, a former chief economist at the Bank of England, said he feared the government would deliver a “mañana budget” that deferred the difficult decisions on public spending and “doesn’t speak to the urgency of now” In an interview with The Times, he said that Britain was “close to being taxed out and maxed out in terms of borrowing”. He spoke of concerns that the government was failing to grasp how “precarious” the fiscal position was He said that the government needs to cut the size of the state and reduce taxes if it were to “unleash the animal spirits and generate growth” Haldane warned Burnham that he cannot “vibe-code” his way to growth, and raised concerns about the gap between the government’s rhetoric and the reality. He said that the government was effectively deferring the “day of reckoning” He also said that the decision to increase taxes on banks could show that the government lacked the courage to cut public spending. He said the move was “penny wise, pound foolish” and sent a broader economic message that if businesses make profits “the taxman cometh” Haldane said that while Burnham had the potential to be a “great prime minister” who could serve two terms, the economy was his “blind spot”. He said that the fiscal situation facing Britain was “precarious” “The penny has not yet fully dropped, including in Downing Street,” he said. “You see that in us having the highest borrowing costs in the G7, despite not having the highest debts and deficits. “It’s the old Hemingway [Ernest Hemingway, the author] thing, isn’t it? How do you go bankrupt? First slowly, then very quickly. The biggest risk to Andy not transforming Britain, to not serving two terms, to not being seen in the history books as a great prime minister, is not political risk. “It’s not those who sit behind him. It’s probably not even those who sit opposite him in Westminster. Keir [Starmer] lost the dressing room. Andy’s biggest risk is that he loses the dealing room. And then that’s an even more painful way to go, as Liz Truss would tell you.” Andy Haldane: PM risks Truss-style crisis if he dodges tough choices thetimes.com/article/9b12c00…

The migration problem is literally a fix everything button. Take benefits for foreign nationals as an example. There is the immediate release of duty on the state when stopping benefits for non-nationals but the second and third effects are that these people leave. When they leave they stop consuming the abstract costs of their existence; things like energy consumption and pressure on infrastructure. Waiting lists go down. Roads get quieter. Less people wanting food. Less crime! The benefits saving is just the obvious and quantifiable cash in the bank but these savings would be dwarfed by the savings made on the much bigger abstract costs of them being here.
"Haldane warned Burnham that he cannot “vibe-code” his way to growth, and raised concerns about the gap between the government’s rhetoric and the reality. He said that the government was effectively deferring the “day of reckoning”" That's precisely what Burnham will do. Putting Britain back on track (or even just narrowly avoiding calamity at this point) requires the immediate slaughter of sacred cows - but doing so would mean admitting most of the core assumptions Labour operates on are flat wrong. They would sooner watch the country crash and burn.

Andy Burnham is doing the prime minister's job like it was 30 years ago. Back then these minutiae were all we had to worry about. And it's telling that he still thinks there aren't any bigger problems. That we'll all be happier if bus fares were just a little cheaper. It's telling that this is all our government has been doing for the last 30 years. It hasn't been building anything or improving any large scale infrastructure. It has been spending like it has but now the pips are squeaking we have nothing to show for the trillions of expenditure. All these consultations and meetings about meetings over the decades were just time and money wasted. The government has frittered everything away and now we're in real trouble.

Vote SDP, get SDP. No nonsense, just proper politics from proper people who like to see the things that matter work properly.
This is local politics in action, attending to things residents need. No ‘climate emergency’ or ‘Gaza genocide’ votes, just hard work and real action. The SDP councillors are showing the way in Leeds, others should follow their example.

If all these migrants are doctors and nurses and net contributers then it won't make any difference if you stop benefits for foreign nationals, right? So let's stop benefits for foreigners and see what happens.

It's only ever a short step from "reduce pollution" to "depopulate the planet". People like Olivia couch their genocidal suggestions in green advocacy but they really think there should be less people around. Not less Olivias, of course, just less "other" people.

I remember when it was the law that teachers were impartial. That they weren't allowed to indoctrinate pupils into any political beliefs. It was only fair that this was the case. That law has been carefully eroded over the years and now many teachers have been emboldened to turn their classes into political lectures. They know what they are doing wearing these badges: "Miss? What does that badge mean?" Which then allows them to open a one-sided dialogue about their political views. It's an abuse of the teacher/pupil relationship and they know it.
If a single pupil knows anything about your political leanings you’re a failure as a teacher.

I was just thinking that Labour's rape gang inquiry must be getting somewhere after in was announced in June 2025. Turns out it didn't start until April of this year so it was already kicked into the long grass for a year and it'll be another 3 years before we get any answers in April 2029. If nothing happens before then that's their election year and does anyone believe they'll complete the inquiry pre election?
