So whilst its all over the news about a mosque door being set on fire in Ireland not a mention about the convent and the burial place of Saint Patrick himself in Downpatrick being reduced to ashes. The resting place of the patron saint of Ireland set on fire, and the legacy media has nothing to say. The politicians have nothing to say. Firefighters believe that it was a DELIBERATE ATTACK.
😱 WOW! Listen to this, it’s INSANE!
This is about as damning a verdict on Starmer and his government as you will hear:
“In terms of military preparedness, we’re now the second last. [31st out of 32 members of NATO] Who’s behind us? Only Iceland, and Iceland doesn’t have a military. When it came to a choice between funding the cost of rearming our country in dangerous times, or continuing with a rapid increase in welfare benefits, benefits street won.”
I knew things were bad, but I had no idea they were this bad! Shocking.
"This means that almost all Western media outlets have unflinchingly disseminated Hamas propaganda to their tens of millions of viewers, while disregarding Israeli figures almost entirely. The world’s journalists have taken the word of jihadi butchers above the evidence-based testimony of a friendly democracy and shared this narrative with the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that this comprises one of the gravest failures of journalistic scepticism in modern times. The uncomfortable truth is that we have been living through the most intense age of propaganda since Soviet times, made only more appalling by the fact that it has been spread voluntarily within supposedly free societies."

And now I’m here and I’m very angry. I mean fuming. Strand on the Green in Chiswick and the councillor Rick Rowe of Hounslow council has said that the pubs here; the Bell and Crown, The City Barge and The Bulls Head, aren’t allowed outside seating anymore. They’ve had that seating forever and people love to relax outside in the sunshine by the river, but now, the council has said that must stop. Hounslow council govern Chiswick. Hounslow is an absolute third world shithole. All the taxes from Chiswick pay for Hounslow to survive and these idiots want to make it even harder for businesses to survive. I have no say in these pubs and they certainly haven’t asked me to post, in case someone thinks that. I’m posting because I know how hard it is to run a business. I know how hard pubs work to survive and I know how terrible councillors are. Disgusting

🚨 "IF YOU WON'T DEFEND THE FAITH... YOU SHOULD ABDICATE."
Broadcaster Neil Oliver has issued a stark warning about the constitutional role of King Charles III.
Speaking in an interview, Oliver argued that the British monarchy is governed by constitutional rules—not personal preference.
Referring to the King's role as Defender of the Faith, Oliver said:
"If it's about no longer wanting to perform that role, then you abdicate. You step away from it."
Oliver went on to claim that Britain is undergoing what he described as a "controlled demolition" of its constitutional, cultural and historical foundations, arguing that the King's actions form part of that wider picture.

The Council Bev Craig Led Hid Child Rape Evidence From Police. Now She Wants Your Vote To Replace Andy Burnham As Gtr Manchester Mayor.
Bev Craig wants to be the next Mayor of Greater Manchester. Before she gets your vote, she owes you an answer.
Manchester City Council supplied police investigating organised child rape with intelligence so heavily redacted that some pages contained only a handful of words. The inspectorate says it contributed to significant delays in investigations involving 1,099 suspects and 714 victims.
Nobody has explained who authorised those redactions. Nobody has been held accountable.

SHE FILED 181 REPORTS. POLICE TOLD HER THE CHILDREN WERE NOT RELIABLE WITNESSES..
Sara Rowbotham was an @NHS sexual health coordinator in Rochdale. From 2004, she started documenting what everyone with the authority to act had decided not to see. Girls as young as 13. Groomed, trafficked, and raped by groups of men. She wrote it all down and reported it.
181 referrals to Greater Manchester Police and social services between 2004 and 2011.
The answer was always the same. The girls were not credible witnesses. Not their problem. Move along.
Nine men were eventually convicted in 2012, but only because a new chief prosecutor arrived, read the evidence Sara had spent years building, and actually did something with it. The Crown Prosecution Service had previously dropped the case entirely. Sara had been right all along.
Then the system turned on her. She was blamed.
Accused of failing to refer cases properly. The institution that had ignored 181 reports about the rape of children decided the problem was the woman who filed them.
Primetime television did what 181 referrals could not. Three Girls aired on BBC One in 2017. Maxine Peake played Sara. The public was furious. A drama series achieved what seven years of documented evidence never could.
In January 2024, a damning 173-page independent review commissioned by Mayor Andy Burnham confirmed what Sara and fellow whistleblower Maggie Oliver @MaggieOliverUK had been saying for twenty years.
They were the only people raising the alarm while GMP and Rochdale Council looked the other way. The review found 74 children who were exploited, serious failures to protect 48 of them, and 96 men still considered a current risk to children.
As of late 2025, 61 men have been convicted across multiple investigations. Combined sentences total almost 630 years.
Sara received an MBE in 2021. The officers who ignored her 181 reports got their pensions.
Two decades of raising the alarm. A BBC drama, a 173-page review, and an MBE later, the abusers were still being found.

So I asked grok to give examples of other MP’s that own multiple properties. Is hypocrisy an illness?
Jas Athwal (Labour, Ilford South): 15 residential + 3 commercial properties (largest declared portfolio). https://t.co/c3iDI0DnHV
• Jeremy Hunt (Conservative): 7 flats (plus other interests like a holiday home share). https://t.co/c3iDI0DnHV
• Gurinder Josan (Labour): 8 rental properties (family involvement noted). https://t.co/L70v9jjBnC
• Bayo Alaba (Labour): 7 rental properties (family involvement noted). https://t.co/L70v9jjBnC
Broader context from analyses (approx. 2025 figures, excluding Reform):
• Around 83–87 MPs declared as landlords with rental income (including ~34–43 with 2+ properties). https://t.co/c3iDI0DnHV
• Labour had more landlord MPs overall (~43–44) than Conservatives (~27–28) in recent counts, though Conservatives historically had higher proportions. https://t.co/L70v9jjBnC
• Many others (e.g., David Lammy, Rachel Reeves, Lucy Powell, Alex Chalk) declared 1–2+ rental properties or shares. https://t.co/c3iDI0DnHV
Shabana Mahmood wants you to think it's stopped. It hasn't. They didn't LOSE control of your housing. They didn't run OUT of homes for you. They GAVE them away.
She banned the bit you could SEE, and kept the engine running.
21 brand new houses in a quiet Shropshire village. Worth £250,000 each. Built for local families. Handed to the asylum system instead, for up to 83 migrants, rent free.
Rural. Back gardens. Next to where local children play. On a street where a British family had already bought and moved in.
Residents weren't even told who was coming. They had to FOI their own council for the basics. How many. Who. Whether they're even families. Made to force it out in writing.
Asked on live radio why our own homeless get nothing while this happens, Yvette Cooper didn’t deny it. She admitted it, said they should be in more appropriate accommodation. So she knows it’s wrong.
Then she swerved. Reduce the system. Family reunion. Student visas. The system we inherited. We're saving a billion.
Everything except the answer. So here's the answer she wouldn't give.
Who decides it. Not your council. Not your MP. Not one person in that village. The Home Office decides, and tells a private firm, Serco, to place people.
We know because Serco said it. The Home Office decides where people go, and instructs us accordingly.
The people you vote for have no say. The people with the say, you never voted for.
Why they pack them in. They're paid by the head. Twelve hundred pounds a year per person, a hundred a month per extra bed. Six in a house beats a family of four. That's how you get 83 people into 21 homes. Not compassion. Arithmetic.
Who even chooses who comes. Under the new scheme, charities, universities and employers pick. Not you. Not your MP. Private groups hold the keys.
Who gets rich. The man who owns one of these firms went from a caravan park to a billionaire. Porsches. Mayfair. Monaco. All from housing migrants on our money.
His firm paid out twenty eight million in dividends in one year, almost all to him. One man, drawing more from our foreign aid budget than the whole of Ghana.
He made so much his firm agreed to hand thirty two million back for breaching the profit cap. Money the Home Office still hasn't confirmed it's even collected.
Here’s why they'll NEVER really stop it. The money we spend housing migrants here is counted as foreign aid. On paper, Britain feeding the world's poor. Really, filling a landlord's pockets in Monaco.
Because it counts as aid, the more come, the better their books look.
Count the ways they win. The contractor gets rich. The Treasury books four point three billion as aid that never leaves the country. Real aid to Africa is cut, the money stays here in Clearsprings and the consultancies, and you pay twice, in tax and in a home your kids will never get.
The boats aren't a crisis to them. They're the business model.
Forty thousand to leave, called a saving. Ten thousand to stay, called fairness, though their own figures say most will never earn enough to pay a penny. Now, ban the new-builds, and call it fixed.
A different headline every month. The same engine underneath.
Here’s the smoke, right on cue. They've said Stoke Heath won't go ahead. Sounds like a win. It isn't.
They didn't stop it because it was wrong. They stopped it because it was SEEN. It went viral. It got too hot. So they killed the one estate the camera found, and kept every one it didn't.
Its not just Shropshire. Over in Suffolk, migrants have already moved into four brand new townhouses worth £300,000, with en-suites, underfloor heating and electric car points, handed over rent free Flat blocks taken in Huddersfield, Chelmsford, Bournemouth. Same Home Office. Same contractor. Town after town, the ones no camera found.
They won't even confirm the family already in Stoke Heath will be moved out. The ban only touches new-builds. The flat blocks stay. The HMOs stay. The contracts stay.
Who really runs it. The Home Office behind all this was headed by Antonia Romeo, now Cabinet Secretary, the most powerful official in the country. She began her own career at a global consultancy, Oliver Wyman, a firm with a documented history of work in the refugee sector.
Nobody voted for her. She was there before this government, and she'll be there after it. Ministers are the face. She's the engine.
Three firms. Fifteen billion pounds of contracts. Break clauses that could end it tomorrow. Not one pulled.
Yvette Cooper ran this and dodged it on air. Shabana Mahmood bans the one part that got caught and keeps the rest. Same engine. Two faces.
The next face is already here. Whoever walks into Number 10 next can't break it either. Romeo stays. The contracts stay. They inherit it intact.
Our own keep waiting. 1.3 million on the longest social housing queue in over a decade. The family that saved ten years. The homeless man born here. Passed over, in their own country, so the engine keeps running.
You can respray a car. New paint, new bodywork, new badge. It still drives, because you never touched the engine.
Same here. Change the government, the face, the party. The engine never moves. The Home Office. The contractor. The billionaire. The consultancy. The money. The one they never let you vote out.
That's the engine and every few months they hand you a new face to be angry at, so you keep swinging at the paint.
They didn't ban the machine. They banned the photo of it. Then stood at a podium and told us they'd fixed it.
That's not a mistake. That's a decision.
Stop aiming at the paint.
Go for the engine.
A raped child in this country knocked on SIX doors for help. The police. The social workers. The prosecutors. The council. The mayor. The government. Every single one SLAMMED in her face.
Nearly every one of those doors belongs to the people running Britain right now.
Today @carlalockhart asked Keir Starmer to make sure the inquiry finally lets the truth out. She was asking the man who sat at the top of the system that buried it.
Because when Starmer talks about institutions that looked the other way, he wasn't watching it happen. He was RUNNING one.
Picture one girl. Just one. Being raped by a gang, trying to be heard. Watch every door she knocks on, and watch who's behind it.
The police. They don't record it. They call her a nuisance, a troublemaker, a girl making a lifestyle choice. In some towns, officers are now accused of abusing girls themselves. Door one. SLAMMED.
The social workers. They see her too. In Rochdale, a youth worker made over 100 referrals about girls being abused. She was ignored. The girls were written off as making lifestyle choices, a problem to file away, not children to save. Door two. Locked.
The prosecutors. In Rochdale, 2009, the CPS dropped her case. Not a credible witness, they said. The men walked free, convicted only years later once someone else overturned it. That service was run, at the top, by Keir Starmer, 2008 to 2013. He later admitted the ethnicity of the abusers had played a role in how those cases were handled. Door three. Shut.
The council. In Rotherham, where 1,400 children were raped and trafficked, the council was his party's. 57 of 63 seats. In denial. Not fit for purpose. It tried to gag a journalist. An inspector found a case file with the word Pakistani tippexed out, so nobody could see the pattern. Door four. Bolted.
The mayor. In Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham commissioned a review. The Rochdale whistleblower Maggie Oliver called it a whitewash and walked away, saying survivors were silenced. Door five. Closed.
The government. When Oldham begged for a national inquiry, minister Jess Phillips refused it. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper waved it off, we'd already had one and Starmer resisted a statutory inquiry until an audit forced his hand, announcing it two days before the report landed. Only when cornered. Door six. Slammed in her face.
Now see it for what it is.
Not one failure. A WALL. Six locked doors, one after another, built around a child so she could never get out.
They ask why the girls didn't just speak up. They did. Over and over. This is why so few were ever heard. Not because they stayed silent. Because every door they knocked on was locked from the other side.
It wasn't one town. That same wall stood across 149 local authority areas. 149.
Here's the part that should stop you cold. Not one of the people behind those doors was punished. Every single one was promoted.
Starmer ran the prosecutors. Now he's Prime Minister. David Lammy, who warned against pandering to the far-right over these gangs and said naming the pattern condemned a whole community, is now Deputy PM and Justice Secretary. Yvette Cooper, who rejected the inquiry, made Foreign Secretary. Andy Burnham, whose review was called a whitewash, now the favourite to be the next Prime Minister.
The wall didn't fall. It got promoted.
So today Carla Lockhart handed Starmer a mirror. She asked the man who sat at the top of that wall to investigate it and he thanked her for her courage, and moved on.
That's the tell. Not a man who wants the truth found. A man who already knows where it leads.
So when he swears the inquiry will go wherever the evidence takes it, ask the one question that matters.
What happens when it leads back to the people now holding it.
That's not a man opening a door for these girls. That's the men who built the wall, handing themselves the only key.
Labour’s new “bottle tax” is a masterclass in how not to do climate policy.
They’ve designed a weight‑based levy that hammers glass – the infinitely recyclable, genuinely sustainable option – while giving cheaper plastic a relative free pass.
The result?
Up to 10–12p slapped on basic glass packaging, with fees on glass beverage containers reportedly around 49 times higher than for some less recyclable materials.
Unions and industry are spelling it out in words of one syllable: this isn’t a green transition, it’s a de‑industrialisation plan. British Glass and GMB warn tens of thousands of jobs in a 120,000‑strong supply chain are now in the firing line, with investors stalling “billions” in planned UK projects because ministers have just made domestic production uncompetitive overnight.
Labour dresses this up as “extended producer responsibility”. In reality it’s extended unemployment responsibility: loading costs onto UK manufacturers until production migrates to lower‑regulation economies, and Britain ends up importing the same bottles, with higher transport emissions, and fewer decent jobs at home.
If you wanted a policy designed in a spreadsheet by someone who has never visited a factory but loves a COP photo‑op, this is it.
The BBC refused to cover this. The British Parliament refused to discuss it. Ask yourself why. This is an official Hamas video showing children in Gaza being armed and trained to become terrorists. They received aid from Islamic Relief in Britain.
'Where I live, going to a prestigious Russell Group university is rare enough, but aiming for Cambridge is unheard of. Nevertheless, my dream was to study either there, at University College London, or Imperial'
'But what I found, repeatedly, was that many outreach programmes and scholarships, set up, supposedly, to help pupils from deprived backgrounds, were only available to applicants from ethnic minorities'

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm.
He warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, saying that entire coastlines would have to be redrawn.
Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened, not even close.
Meanwhile, Gore has gotten very rich. While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. He became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k plus speaking fees and carbon credit trading.
Al Gore didn't save the planet, he monetized fear.
Yesterday, I asked the Government whether grooming gang perpetrators would serve their full sentences.
The minister seemed to say that we should be grateful that these people are serving prison sentences *at all*.
What on earth?!
Don’t DARE say ‘cannot be deported’ yes he bloody can! Parliament is sovereign and could change the law!
This man has been convicted of 30 child rape offences, ‘cannot’ be deported because of legal protections dating back decades?
Parliament created those laws. Parliament can repeal those laws. They just don’t want to. Ask why?
