At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

This is what we are expected to accept.

On the one hand, the Unite the Kingdom march, described as a “far-right rally” with “violent clashes” … 23 arrests.

Yet the mostly left wing protests and riots in France, have seen over 3,000 arrests and are described as … “largely peaceful”.

That’s what they need you to believe. Don’t 🔥

“I never thought I’d live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling self-righteous twatty ones going around shaming everyone.”

The left-wing extremist who is accused of murdering my colleague Ann Widdecombe and targeting my friend Nigel Farage "held an extreme left-wing mindset".

Now ask yourself:

Where is the big national debate about left-wing extremism?
Where are the BBC documentaries and podcasts about left-wing extremism?
Where are the calls to warn children in schools and universities about left-wing extremism?
Where are the government 'counter-terror units' stating that if you read, say, Karl Marx or Antonio Gramsci then you are "on a pathway to terror"?
Where are the think-tanks producing major research reports on left-wing extremism and its followers?
Where are the multi-million pound research grants going to academics who investigate left-wing terror?

If it was far-right we all know what would happen. Wall to wall blanket coverage, analysis, and debate.

Does anybody else notice the silence?

The best thing about Tottenham (where I grew up) being exposed to a wide audience as welfare ground zero is that it helps a case I often make on this platform. I didn’t need the data to tell me that almost 30K households in David Lammy’s constituency - the home of rioting, crime, social decay, and disturbing demographics - were claiming UC or the benefits that came before it, because the people in a place like Tottenham (which has the largest welfare bill of any constituency, at £624.9 million) will *just tell you*.

We imagine topics like personal finances (and especially benefits) to be taboo and something that, thanks to good old British reservedness, people would never dare openly discuss. But the people in a place like Tottenham are not British. They do not share our sensibilities.

The Somalis, Eritreans, Nigerians, Turks, Kurds, Albanians and others in Tottenham will straight up tell you about the various benefits they’re claiming. They’ll even tell you about their dodgy DLA/PIP claims and the various ways in which they scam the system. They’ll tell you about their Motability car and the fraudulent way they obtained it. They’ll openly tell you about their “friend from my village” who works at the council’s housing department and who they bunged £10K cash to get a nicer social housing property with more bedrooms and a garden. The fraud is out in the open and totally normalised.

Yet when I describe this phenomenon to faux leftist white middle-class people, they instantly dismiss it as the stuff of far-right conspiracies theories. I understand why they instinctively do so, because this is behaviour that is totally alien to us British people (with some exceptions for the underclass - but even they’re more savvy and secretive than the Somalis et al when it comes to their benefit claims).

The reason middle-class Sensibles™ can comfortably dismiss what I am describing, is because they do not live among the “diversity” the claim to love. They do not have socially housed Somalian neighbours who openly describe how they got three of their kids diagnosed with ADHD by using a online Conners Rating Scale and harassing their GP for a CAMHS referral, and how they obtained PIP for their “trauma” from the war back home, and their Motability car.

But, to those dismissive people, I say respectfully: listen to those of us who know what we are talking about and have direct “lived experience” of this stuff. The people we have imported over the last thirty or so years are not like us and never will be. They do not share our sensibilities. If I tell you about the kids in my school discussing the new cars their mums were driving and how they “got it free from like the government and dat”, or Turkish neighbours gloating that they’ve managed to secure DLA for young Hasan, Ali and Mehmet (a hat-trick!), I really am not making it up.

I’m glad everyone is discussing the scale of benefit claims in places like Tottenham, Edmonton, Hackney, and elsewhere. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

One club in Manchester has lost over £1bn paying its owners dividends and interest on debt the Glazers took out to buy United. THEIR debt, dumped on OUR club.

The other cheated by inflating revenue and hiding costs by £900m+ so it could spend more and win titles.

United were forced to pay for the Glazers to own us. City’s rivals were forced to compete against cheating while everyone else played by the rules.

How is either ownership good for football?

Both are a disgrace. Both need kicking out of the game.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Downing Street.

One is from London, another is from Birmingham and the third is from Manchester.

All three go with a Downing Street official to examine the fence.

The London contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.

"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about £900. £400 for materials, £400 for my crew, and £100 profit for me."

The Birmingham contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,

"I can do this job for £700. £300 for materials, £300 for my crew, and £100 profit for me."

The Manchester contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the Downing Street official and whispers, "£2,700."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The Manchester contractor whispers back, "£1000 for me, £1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Birmingham to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official. And that, my friends, is how our government works.

It may be funny but, sadly, it's also very accurate.

Hey @macklemore you used your friend Ed Sheeran and left him twisting in the wind. You used his tour. You leveraged it for your own humanitarian grift and came away with massive gains for shitting on your friend in public and trying to bully him into submission. Then you remained silent after squealing about your “free speech” when your ex-friend found himself broken by the consequences of your actions. We all knew you were a Jew hater, but now the world knows that Jew haters are also the shittiest kinds of people.
