@ikeijeh Exactly. What are they supposed to do - not mention it?
As usual, it's the event itself that signifies the division - Not the talking about it...
Nine days before she was elected Prime Minister (3 May) Baroness Thatcher was interviewed on Thames TV's TV Eye, with journalist Denis Tuohy.
"You have seen destructive elements today, yesterday, on the television. One of the problems in this country is that we have a few—a comparatively few people—they could be measured in thousands—who wish to destroy the kind of society which you and I value, destroy the free society.
"There are people in this country who are the great destroyers; they wish to destroy the kind of free society we have."
Times never change.
My favourite headline from the Falkland’s era was Private Eye’s satirical Kill an Argie, Win a Metro.
I did my bit with Gotcha and Stick It Up Your Junta.
Argentina is not all tangos and large steaks. I learn from Wikipedia that it gave shelter to between 5,000-12,000 Nazis after World War Two, including Eichmann and Mengele , both leading architects of the slaughter of six million Jews.
The UK did the opposite. Hunted down and defeated the Nazis and gave shelter to persecuted Jews.
That’s the difference between our nations.
Come on England.
You called me a racist in the Commons - and refused to withdraw.
You said the “Islamophobia” definition would not be used to silence discussion of religion - you lied.
You said defining “Islamophobia” would not be conflated with racism - yet that's what you did.
You're right - when people speak, they reveal who they really are.
I have written to the Leader of Portsmouth City Council urging him to investigate this and to stop taking down the England flag.
What’s wrong with a bit of patriotism before the big match?
Really? Why on earth would a football match be allowed to determine a matter of sovereignty and democracy? It’s just football (not even a proper sport like cricket or rugby). If we win Wednesday but lose to Spain Sunday are the Falklands safe but we have to surrender Gibraltar?
Britain is not the civilisation it once was. It’s a corrupted, depleted version of something once world-bestriding.
We are a fallen people, Colin argues.

One Man's Terrorist: The £123 Million Grift of Dale Vince
Dale Vince donated £6 million to the Labour Party. His companies received £123 million in government grants. Do the maths.
Two days after Hamas murdered, raped and kidnapped Israelis on October 7, Dale Vince went on Times Radio and called them "freedom fighters." His exact words: "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Angela Rayner called it "appalling." He sued Richard Tice for saying he supported Hamas. He lost.
This is the man who bought British energy policy.
He left school at fifteen with no qualifications. Became a New Age traveller living in vans. Then discovered the real con: green energy. Founded Ecotricity in 1996 with an undisclosed bank loan. Now worth £107 million. His secret? You pay for it.
£123 million in government grants in one year. £3.55 million in City Hall contracts from Sadiq Khan. While he donated £6 million to Labour. His ex-wife claimed in court he gave away £5.4 million to the party to hide assets from her. The divorce settlement cost him £40 million thirty years after they split. He called it "character assassination." The character was already dead.
But the real masterpiece is the pivot.
After making his fortune on net zero hysteria, after taking £123 million in grants for "green energy," Dale Vince now says heat pumps were "mis-sold." Says net zero is "toxic." Says Ed Miliband's department should be broken up. Says the term "net zero" should be scrapped. Calls Miliband "unfit to be Chancellor" and says he lacks "grasp of basic value for money."
This from a man whose own net zero airline collapsed in January 2026 before flying a single passenger. Ecojet. Liquidated. £20 million funding failed. Another green vanity project that left nothing but invoices.
He wants to pull up the ladder now that he's rich. The ideology served its purpose. The grants cleared. The £6 million bought the access he claims he wasn't buying. Now the script changes.
At his football club, Forest Green Rovers, he flies the Palestinian flag. Giant flag at Ecotricity HQ. He refuses to remove them. Compares Palestine to Ukraine. Says Israelis shouldn't feel threatened by the flag. This after his "freedom fighter" comments. After claiming Netanyahu "wants antisemitism to be a thing." After the Bondi Beach massacre comments linking terrorism to Israel.
He is not a businessman. He is not an environmentalist. He is a political investor with returns that would embarrass a hedge fund. Donate £6 million. Receive £123 million. A 2,000% return dressed in hemp.
Dale Vince is the proof that the green movement was never about the climate. It was about the money. The grants. The subsidies. The contracts. The ideology was the sales pitch. The hysteria was the business model. And now that the money is made, the mask slips. Heat pumps don't work. Net zero is toxic. The department he funded should be scrapped.
Keep the Palestinian flag flying, Dale. Keep explaining why Hamas are freedom fighters. Keep cashing those cheques while the grid fails and the bills rise. The working class you lecture about sacrifice are freezing. You are in your hill fort. The con is complete.
You are not the future. You are the past that got paid.
Today, I reported Bushra Shaikh to counter-terrorism police for supporting the IRGC, a proscribed terror group. I urge you to do the same.
In addition, my petition calling for her arrest continues to gain momentum.
Sign below for justice. Free Iran!

As we learn Ann’s murder WAS politically motivated, The Times has revealed the scale of the threat to Nigel’s life.
Nigel has received 1,577 threats since February this year.
Including 597 death threats.
The most persistent individual targeting Farage sent 6 directed threats to him on Facebook between June 24 and July 6, including a message telling him to “get the f*** out of Wales before I just kill Nigel Farage … you can die at any f***ing moment.”
Another individual posted on X last month saying: “Execute the striking Traitor Nigel Farage. TODAY,” followed by two further escalating posts within eight hours.
A third individual wrote on X: “Can someone shoot Nigel Farage? Make him a self-fulfilling prophecy?”
All the ‘journalists’ and MPs who attack him for accepting a gift to fund his security should hang their heads in shame.
The government still provides him with no security.
They did for a short while after the general election. Then - astonishingly - they cut it by 75% within weeks of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and sent David Lammy out to say Nigel “flirted with the Hitler Youth”.
Reform stepped in to provide him with a detail of the original size, appropriate to the enormous threat.
The establishment doesn’t want Nigel to have the required security for a reason.
They incite violence against him for a reason.
It’s exactly what it looks like.
This is absolutely outrageous.
It looks like Lib Dem led Portsmouth City Council are removing England flags from people who are putting them up for the World Cup.
If that's not bad enough, they just walk off with it.
That's theft!
Absolute disgrace!
