Just saying … Britain hit 32.8°C in May back in BOTH 1922 and 1944.

This was long before SUVs, budget airlines and air fryers.

Hysteria from the media is not fact ..it’s narrative and fear porn.

As you were!

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The most disgraceful ABUSE of an MP’s expense account yet!

At total of £231,306.65 for one year for a back bench MP ????

No wonder she’s taking time off because she’s “burnt out” ... all that piss taking must have been so exhausting.

A West Yorkshire police officer has been placed under investigation after a video went viral showing him pushing an African migrant away from shops he had been harassing.

UK officers are allowed to let white kids bleed out, but God forbid one of their migrants gets shoved.

JUDGE REDUCES HENRY NOWAK MURDER TO MANSLAUGHTER

This is judge William Mousley KC

He has ordered that Vickrum Digwa face a MANSLAUGHTER charge INSTEAD of MURDER despite stabbing Henry Nowak in the back of the legs as he tried to escape

Absolutely horrific

Cattle aren’t bad for the planet. They are the planet. Here’s a colossal demolition of anti-beef propaganda.

No, I’ve not been paid by Big Beef.

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

🚨 WTF! Lenny Henry demands Britain cough up £18 trillion in reparations, insisting

“All Black British people deserve it for slavery.”

This ignores Britain’s historic stand: abolishing the slave trade in 1807 and unleashing the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron, which seized 1,600 ships and freed 150,000 Africans at massive cost in blood and treasure.

Yet today, per the Global Slavery Index, Eritrea, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Jamaica (Henry’s parental homeland) still suffer shocking levels of modern slavery.

Billing today’s British taxpayers for 200-year-old sins while turning a blind eye to ongoing African and Caribbean horrors? Pure selective outrage and hypocrisy.

Focus on ending slavery now, not chasing guilt cheques.

Maybe the comedian should stick to jokes instead of peddling selective history.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

The British were slaves during the Roman occupation for over 300 years, and then slaves under the Norman French for another 300 years

So we should do well out of reparations, and then get a bonus for being the first country to abolish slavery
