I usually don’t comment on these topics. But as a German / British citizen, a mother and a woman, I find this terrifying.

I worked on EU policy in the insanity of the migrant crisis a decade ago. Even then it was clear that the total loss of control by politicians who made catastrophic decisions would have irreversible consequences.

A decade later, the consequences are here and continuing.

Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades - with no noticeable improvement in public services.

Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for retirement...

You keep less of what you earn.
You keep less of what you invest.
You leave less to your family.

Death by a thousand cuts is becoming tax policy.

🚨 3,000+ PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SIGNED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS !

If they can’t pass an audit, they can’t raise our taxes.

Up to £81 BILLION a year is lost to fraud and error…

…all while councils and government departments have gone years without passing audit cleanly.

Yet politicians keep asking you for more money.

Enough.

Let’s remind our politicians who they work for.

Sign. Share. Make them listen.

One of the reasons the judge gave such a disgustingly lenient sentence is because these boys were of too low intelligence to understand consent.

They lured two different girls to go on a 'date', then raped them and filmed it while laughing and shared it online.

But apparently the 'consent' bit was a touch tricky.

Judge needs locking up with them.

This is the fairest assessment of the Unite the Kingdom rally.

Sir Trevor Phillips went and saw normal, decent folk, a diverse crowd and hymns being sung. Those tarring it as “far-right” are projecting their own bigotry.
