They only let me stay on here because nobody pays any attention

[Higgy @higgyboson]

I've been driving around the Scottish Highlands for a few days and I've noticed a big difference in towns compared to where I live in Devon.

In Devon, whenever you drive into a town you have to pay to park. That's before you spend anything in shops, bars, cafes etc.

Councils consider car drivers as the enemy. A mere cash cow. If you park - YOU PAY.

Hence, many people now avoid town centres like the plague or they severely limit the number of times they visit.

For the past few days I've stopped off in many towns across the North of Scotland. I've parked in council car parks and not once have I been confronted with a ticket machine, a barrier or an ANPR camera.

And guess what? I've actually been into shops, cafes, restaurants etc and spent money. In so doing, I've helped the businesses to do what they do best - Providing goods and services to their communities.

Communities free from paying extortionate amounts of money to local councils for the "privilege" of being able to park up and visit businesses who rely on their custom.

Councils "down South" should take notice.

If you price drivers out of towns, they stay away, businesses close and the town dies.

The evidence is everywhere.

(And yes, I know Internet shopping is another enemy of the High Street so I don't need to be informed about that).

Flashback:
Mahmoud Habbash, the adviser to the Palestinian president, has revealed that Hamas deliberately kills women and children in Gaza in order to damage Israel’s image. They use them as human shields and then sacrifice their bodies as propaganda tools.

This is not a secret. This is official Palestinian Authority admission.
Time and time again, Hamas starts futile wars against Israel, using women and children in Gaza as human shields to cause their deliberate deaths.

Once the bodies pile up, Hamas and its supporters parade the corpses in front of cameras to accuse Israel of “genocide.”

The Western media, hungry for dramatic images and hostile to Israel, happily plays along with this grotesque propaganda.

Back in 2013, Jamie Oliver claimed that "European immigrant workers were much stronger, much tougher & more willing to graft in hot kitchens than British youngsters."

He's now been forced to hire security as a migrant camp close to his £6M home has got 800 men inside it.

99% of discourse with a leftist is just them making this face and looking for ways to ruin your life.

@CoryBooker Weary, weary, weary, is exactly right.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

No. We know why this happened. A marxist movement sought to reintroduce racism and ethnic partiality through antiracist training that discriminates against white people. Your police force was thoroughly indoctrinated into this racism, so much so that they thought a claim of saying an offensive word was more important than the young man with a mouthful of blood desperately pleading with them that he'd been stabbed.

If you think you're going to say "guns" and everyone is going to suddenly look away from this racist monstrosity, you are very, very wrong.

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

He was only eighteen years old. His weapon of choice was not a gun, but a tiny bottle of acid. Yet, this teenage boy managed to save fourteen thousand lives from certain death.

In 1943, Paris was a dark place under Nazi occupation. Adolfo Kaminsky was just a young apprentice working in a textile dyeing shop. He spent his days learning how colors reacted with chemicals, which solvents could dissolve certain pigments, and how to alter tones at a molecular level.

He had no idea that this highly specific knowledge about ink and fabric would soon become the thin line between life and death for thousands of innocent people.

During the occupation, the Gestapo used paperwork as their primary weapon to hunt down Jewish people. Identity cards, travel permits, and food rations were all strictly monitored. On the documents of Jewish citizens, the authorities stamped one single word in blue ink: "JUIF".

That one word was a direct ticket to a concentration camp.

The French Resistance desperately needed a way to erase that word without ruining the paper. Standard forgery techniques failed because the official ink was designed to be permanent.

Any attempt to scrape it off left obvious marks that would get someone killed.

They brought the problem to Kaminsky.

The boy analyzed the paper under a dim lamp and remembered a trick from his textile work. Lactic acid could dissolve that exact blue ink while leaving the paper fibers perfectly intact.

It worked.

But erasing the stamp was only the first step. He had to rewrite names, birthdays, and signatures perfectly. The Resistance set up a secret laboratory for him in a hidden attic on the Left Bank of Paris. The demands poured in constantly.

He needed to make fifty birth certificates for children escaping to Switzerland, two hundred food cards for families hiding in cellars, and hundreds of passes to Spain.

The conditions were brutal. Bleach and acid fumes filled the tiny room, burning his throat and making his eyes water constantly. His fingers were permanently stained with dark ink. Kaminsky realized that each document took him about two minutes to make.

That meant he could save thirty people every single hour.

This realization turned into an obsession that haunted him. He looked at the clock and thought, "If I sleep for an hour, thirty people will die."

So, he stopped sleeping.

One week, word came that a local orphanage with three hundred Jewish children was about to be raided by the Nazis. They needed fake papers immediately or they would be put on a train to Auschwitz. Kaminsky locked himself in the attic.

He worked for two straight days and nights without a pause. His vision blurred and his hand cramped so badly he had to physically massage his fingers to keep writing.

Eventually, his body gave out and he collapsed onto the desk.

He slept for exactly one hour. When he woke up, panic gripped him. He cried out, "Thirty people are dead because I was lazy!"

He refused to eat or rest until the remaining papers were finished.

Thanks to his sacrifice, the children were moved to safety in time.

Kaminsky spent years in that suffocating attic, constantly upgrading his skills as the Nazis upgraded their security measures.

When Paris was finally liberated in 1944, the young genius had saved roughly fourteen thousand people.

He never accepted a single penny for his work, believing that taking money to save a life was deeply wrong.

After the war, Kaminsky became a photographer and lived a quiet, modest life. He never bragged.

He did not tell his neighbors, his coworkers, or even his own children about his wartime heroism for decades.

He simply faded into the crowd as an ordinary man.

Adolfo Kaminsky passed away in 2023 at the age of ninety-seven.

He did not want monuments or medals. His true legacy lives on today in the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the thousands of people who survived the darkness simply because a brave teenager chose to stay awake.

The Netherlands also has its Henry Nowak cases.

In July 2020, 14-year-old Tamar from Marken was hit by a car on a dark dike road and left to die. Her body was later found in the berm.
What happened next is deeply disturbing.

The police initially told her mother that the driver was German. Days later the truth came out: it was four Iraqis in the car. The mother was told they withheld the real background because they didn’t want to create a "Wilders-effect" — they didn’t want to give Geert Wilders political ammunition.

Even worse: evidence strongly suggests Tamar’s body was moved after the accident. The driver didn’t just flee, they dragged her off the road and left her there like an animal.

The driver received only a €1,500 fine for looking at his phone while driving. He then disappeared completely. The fine was returned “undeliverable” and for years he was untraceable.

Only after years of fighting by the family (including going to court to force prosecution), a breakthrough came in March 2026: the now 33-year old Jamal is finally being prosecuted for causing the fatal accident and leaving the scene.

Just like Henry Nowak in Southampton — an innocent young person dies, authorities seem more focused on protecting a narrative and avoiding “political incorrectness” than on delivering swift justice.
A 14-year-old girl dies on a Dutch dike. The system lies about the identity of the driver, gives him a slap on the wrist, loses him for years, and only after massive pressure does real prosecution begin.

This is not just a traffic accident. This is a story about truth, accountability, and what happens when institutions put ideology before grieving families.

Her name was Tamar.
She was 14.
She deserved better.

Do you want to know something interesting about the decision to remove Winston Churchill, Alan Turing and Jane Austen from bank notes?

Savanta, a market research company, was chosen to run a focus group.

The result of that focus group is that Churchill was “divisive”, Turing “an imperialist” and Austen “contentious and not representative”.

Yet that focus group had only 119 people in it.

And only one person called Turing “imperialist”. Someone who probably did not even know that he was not only instrumental in the Allies winning WW2 but was a gay man who was chemically castrated to “cure him”.

Turing was left fat, flabby and so unhappy that he carefully injected cyanide into an apple and ate it. He was found with half the apple by his side.

The Bank of England claims that the focus group was only part of its decision and it ran a broader public inquiry that favoured animals and flowers. Who did they ask? Primary school kids?

I am relieved that Iran has finally fired back at Israel.

The impunity with which Israel constantly violates the ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza has to end.

Iran is standing up for all of humanity against the zionist supremacists.

Bill, I can't find a single document saying that Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs. To the contrary, the USDA has increased funding for screwworm surveillance and control.

Screwworms were discovered this month.

HOWEVER, in late 2025, USDA‑APHIS publicly announced the “New World Screwworm Grand Challenge,” making “up to $100 million” available for projects to enhance sterile fly production, develop improved traps and lures, therapeutics, and other preparedness tools to prevent or respond to NWS entering the United States; this is a substantial funding commitment that points to increased, not reduced, federal investment in screwworm‑related surveillance and control.

In other words … I fear that either your TDS has led you astray, or you are deliberately trying to trick people into hating Trump.

Your choice.

Either way, the comments indicate that you are being successful in spreading a LIE.

"40,000 Islamists on terror watch lists? What's wrong with that?"

Tommy Robinson was minding his own business recently when a school teacher called him a "racist c*nt". Not the shy and retiring type, Tommy took the opportunity to vigorously debate the teacher and reveal her worldview.

And what a terrifying worldview it is.

She doesn't care if her entire classroom is replaced with Muslims. She thinks there's nothing wrong with 40,000 Muslims being on terror watch lists. She thinks that Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs are only apprehended because they're being unfairly targeted by the racist police. She says she just cares about minority groups.

These positions may seem insane, but they're held by the vast majority of our left-wing establishment. These are the people indoctrinating our children.

Also, her boyfriend has got skinny arms.
