"Those Brits are a strange old race. They show affection by abusing each other, will think nothing of casually stopping in the middle of a firefight for a 'brewup' and eat food that I wouldn't give to a dying dog. But fuck me, I would rather have one British squaddie on side than an entire battalion of Spetznaz! Why? Because the British are the only people in this world who when the chips are down and it seems like there is no hope left, instead of getting sentimental or hysterical, will strap on their pack, charge their rifle, light up a smoke, and calmly and wryly grin, 'Well, are we going then you wanker?" 🏴 🇬🇧
@RoyalMail your service is now on par with Hermes/Yodel, no post for 2 weeks then all arrives at once. Yesterday you said you were unable to deliver a parcel, you would try again today but another no show. The Royal should be removed from your name and replaced with Rarely 💩📭✉️
@ActivePatriotUK FFS embarrassing, policing only works if people fear the consequences and respect the law. Would help if the police employed people capable of carrying out the task and given the backing to do what is required instead of worrying about being charged themselves.
If Vladimir Putin changed the voting system days before an election to stop his opponents winning, every British journalist would call it what it is: rigging the rules.
Tonight, Labour rammed through a last‑minute switch in the Lords so that if Andy Burnham wins Makerfield and quits as Greater Manchester Mayor, his replacement won’t be chosen on a simple first‑past‑the‑post ballot, but on the supplementary vote system instead.
Why now?
Because Labour knows the race to replace Burnham would be a straight two‑horse fight with Reform UK – and under FPTP, the candidate with the most votes wins, no second chances, no back‑room redistributions, no “stop Reform” stitch‑ups.
Under SV, Labour gets a second bite of the cherry: if their candidate can limp into the top two, they can hoover up second preferences from every other party and magic a “majority” on the second count, even if Reform tops the poll on first preferences.
This isn’t “modernising democracy”. It’s the governing party using its Commons majority and the unelected Lords to hurriedly doctor the rules of one specific contest because it’s terrified the voters might choose someone else.
When the establishment preached to the world about “rules‑based order”, they forgot to mention one thing: in Britain, the rules are “based” on whether Labour thinks it might lose.

Corentin Moutet: "Fuck fuck fuck."
Reporter: "I'm gonna ask you one more question so please keep it clean, okay?"

The BBC continues to ignore our rape gang inquiry when it’s convenient. But please read this to understand how the bent establishment weaponises its institutions against us…
When a malicious complaint was made to Parliament about our fundraising efforts for the inquiry last year, the BBC were leaked it. Obviously. They gave us ten minutes to respond, and then published the story insinuating we had done something wrong.
We hadn’t.
It was immediately cleared by Parliament, and the BBC was forced to issue an apology.
Not before the lie had spread around the country.
But.
When we held our hearings, zero coverage. Silence.
Same for our report now. Nothing. The most comprehensive and honest analysis of the rape gang scandal. Ignored.
It clearly is of public interest, because the covered the negative story with such enthusiasm. So can you tell me why they won’t report our findings?
The entire establishment wants us to fail.
We will not.
We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Probably the best advert for football & beer in the world: recorded in Dagenham in 2005 this is the Carlsberg Old Lions advert including the talents of Alan Ball, Peter Beardsley, Terry Butcher, Bobby Charlton, Jack Charlton, Stuart Pearce, Peter Reid, Bryan Robson, Peter Shilton, Chris Waddle, and Des Walker, with Sir Bobby Robson as manager.
Brilliant!
Brave independent reporter @advancesarah has just ambushed Sly News live on air in Belfast and demanded they start reporting the truth.
They gutlessly cut back to the studio…
Nick Ferrari: Would you take the knee for Henry Nowak?
David Lammy: I…I..I…errr…no, I don’t think the family are asking for symbolism.
Nick: So you agree taking the knee is mere symbolism?
Lammy: We were in a pandemic!
David Lammy’s hypocrisy on full view.
