The same plays out between me and my mum regularly , i go do her tea daily so she can keep her independence. Its both heartbreaking and lovely at the same time. precious times. It makes time with my kids and grand-kids more special to me
The internet is an interesting place, when combined with the class system of Britain. If you put yourself online, you end up with many assumptions being made about you.
Many assume because of the way I speak that I'm middle class, not that there's anything wrong with that, but the reality couldn't be further from that.
I've had comments proclaiming I don't have any life experience and yet I've lived and worked on several continents, was homeless at one point, delivered kitchens for cash in hand because I couldn't find any other work, I was a teacher for A level equivalent qualifications, the technical certification component of an NVQ.
I've been a doorman, a lifeguard, I've composed audio books that I self published, I build classic cars in my spare time, I've written short stories.
People are so much more than meets the eye, I appreciate we all have our prejudices, but you may be surprised by the life someone has led, or the things they're dealing with behind the scenes.
Talk to people, people are fascinating and the lives they've led, can be stranger and more interesting than fiction.
Connect with people. Unify our people.
🚨🚨🚨🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 BRITAIN GAVE AWAY A QUARTER OF A TRILLION POUNDS SINCE TONY BLAIR CAME TO OFFICE
I have spent the last few days going back through Britain’s foreign aid and international development spending since 1997, and the scale of it is extraordinary.
The official number alone is roughly £254.9 BILLION of ODA from 1997 to 2025.
Inflation-adjusted into 2025 money, that is about £352.3 BILLION.
And that is before you start looking at the broader non-ODA security and stabilisation spending that sits alongside the aid system.
What is striking is not simply the total. It is the architecture underneath it.
The biggest channels are enormous:
World Bank IDA: roughly £21.6bn in identified UK replenishment commitments from 1997 through IDA21.
International Climate Finance: around £21.2bn across its three major phases.
EU development and external-aid channels: at least £11.2bn already reconstructed from 2010 onward, with earlier years still to complete.
Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria: £5.5bn by 2024.
UK education aid: around £5.7bn across the reviewed 2015–2020 period.
DFID contractor spending: roughly £5.3bn across the 2007/08–2013/14 profile.
Ukraine non-military support: around £5bn, although much of this is guarantees and fiscal support rather than simple grant aid.
Syria crisis response: about £4.63bn.
Reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child-health programmes: about £4.6bn.
Economic-development portfolio: about £4.69bn across 268 programmes.
Agriculture aid: about £4.15bn from 2016–2021.
Gavi: at least £4bn committed by 2020.
African Development Fund: around £3.56bn in core replenishments identified.
Afghanistan: nearly £3.5bn.
CDC/British International Investment capital increase: around £3.1bn.
Nigeria debt relief: around £2.8bn scored through the aid system.
And then there are the less obvious categories.
In 2024 alone, £2.827bn of British ODA was spent inside Britain on refugees and asylum seekers.
The old Conflict, Stability and Security Fund and its successor also carried large non-ODA spending. From 2017/18 to 2024/25 I can identify roughly £4.7bn of non-ODA security and stabilisation spending alongside the aid budget.
Thus, Britain built an enormous, highly distributed international-development machine involving the World Bank, EU institutions, UN agencies, climate funds, vaccine alliances, development banks, private contractors, universities, NGOs, debt relief, guarantees, investment vehicles, refugee costs inside Britain, humanitarian programmes and security funds.
Where did every pound go, who received it, what did Britain get for it, and why has nobody ever presented the public with the full ledger?
That is the audit I have now started building.
imo you literally get that “spark” all over again. everything is a new experience to your kid. seeing a bug? coolest thing ever. eating ice cream. amazing. going for a car ride. painting a picture. even every day normal activities like grocery shopping are an incredible experience with them. holidays like christmas, easter, halloween etc all feel like how they felt like when you were a kid again. everything is exciting again because you are seeing the world for the first time through their eyes
47% of UK households are net tax payers
53% take out more than they put in
That one statistic lays bare the problem with taxation.
It’s not that “the rich don’t pay enough”
It’s that not enough people pay anything!
The UK is a welfare system with a private sector bolted on.
Today, we were told that the 15-year-old boy who killed our beautiful 9-year-old niece, Aria, with a single stab wound to the chest is NOT GUILTY of murder or manslaughter.
How is this justice?

The Norse Blood in England 🏴
When the Norsemen came across the northern sea, they did not find strangers here - they found kin.
The Angles, Saxons, and Norse were of the same northern stock, born of the same cold waters, shaped by the same hard lands.
Their speech, their blood, their gods, their courage - all cut from one root. The Norse who landed on our shores were not foreign invaders in the way the modern left would have us believe.
They were cousins - men of the same bloodline that had already built England.
Where the Saxon ploughed the land, the Norse carved their mark in stone and steel.
Where the Saxon raised halls, the Norse raised longships.
Different tribes - one people.
Their legacy runs deep across England still.
You see it in the names:
York, once Jorvik.
Grimsby, Whitby, and Derby.
Scunthorpe, Ormskirk, and Selby.
Every -by, -thorpe, and -thwaite is the mark of Norse hands - the language of our kin carved into the land itself.
They brought their boldness, their sea-craft, their iron, and their will to fight.
Many stayed, married, and became part of the English people, their blood flowing into ours.
The same spirit that drove them to cross the waves still runs in English veins - restless, daring, unconquered.
The Norse and the Anglo-Saxons were brothers divided by sea, reunited by destiny.
From their shared blood came the iron heart of England - fierce, stubborn, loyal, and free.
Their blood, our blood.
Their courage, our courage.
The Norse and the Saxon - one people under the English oak. 🏴
England remember.
England awake.
We will not lie to the British people. Restoring Britain will require decisions that are controversial and unpleasant.
We are going to strip millions of healthy Brits who refuse to work of benefits. If that causes outrage from those who think the taxpayer owes them a living, so be it.
We are going to deport all illegal and burdensome migrants. If that means millions go, so be it.
We are going to outlaw incompatible cultural and religious practices. If that means those who refuse to integrate no longer feel welcome, so be it.
We are going to execute pedophiles, rapists, and murderers if that is what the British people want. If that means we are condemned by subversive "human rights" groups, so be it.
We take no pleasure in these measures. It is a damning indictment of our political class that they are necessary in the first place.
But necessary they are.
Please do no harm in the name of Henry Nowak, nor in the just cause of our raped children.
The officials, police, judiciary, and the political and media class whose poison and complicity permissions these crimes are responsible for their actions.
As hard as this is to hear, these are not servants of the British public but of an insane ideology presented with a religious zealotry in every aspect of modern life.
They are captive to a cult which has been designed to capture us all, and whose technique has been refined for over a century of liberal democracy.
These people are not victims of the rape and murders caused by their diseased political beliefs.
They are victims of a belief system designed to make them believe that what they are doing is the highest good, as they deliver us all into evil.
If we are to @RestoreBritain we must understand the depth of the crisis we will inherit.
We must seek to heal the sick and remove the sickness transmitted through every aspect our lives and which is sinfully presented as virtue.
There can be no justice in this rotten state until we root out the cause of the terrible effects of liberal idolatry that seeks to replace our people, our culture and the beliefs which inspired our civilisation with itself.
This is not just a war on our people. It is a revolutionary war on our entire civilisation. This revolt against all that is good, just and true must be recognised and it must be reversed.
Where we can, we must heal the sick and help the wounded - even when these casualties are found among those who identify and act as our enemies.
Our cause is the restoration of natural justice to our lives. If this mad cult is not stopped it will destroy us all in a spasm of universal vengeance.
Do not go mad along with it. Demand sanity instead.
Those who do not belong here must leave in an orderly and humane fashion. Those among our people who have misused their power to destroy us must repent, and the worst among them must be brought to a meaningful justice.
We must have justice or we shall have anarchy. To restore the dignity of our people and to secure our future in our homeland will require a vast and painful national effort.
This requires the recognition that we have been wronged on a level so profound it is almost impossible to name within the limited vocabulary of experience we have inherited from this degrading liberal political economy.
The national emergency is grave. It is the result of an unjust war which is waged by a rotten State against us all, friend and enemy, to fold us like final demands into the envelope of a globally standardised dystopia.
The task ahead of us is to destroy this evil.
It can be done.
It must be done or we are done for.
@RupertLowe10 I hope for the best @RupertLowe10 but record turn out usually means extra cheating by the current lot, Keep your eye on increased postal votes . I really hope you pull this off
