Musk.

Vance.

Farage.

Lowe.

They know what they are doing. They are far more calculated than it may seem.

This has been a difficult week and they have sought to weaponise it for their own malevolent means despite the express wishes of the Nowak family,

We must call out their hatred and fight for the values we believe in.

Fairness, diversity, tolerance, equality.

They hate it all. And each of them uses their platform to try and undermine these values that we cherish.

The vast majority of people can see what they are trying to do and want it to stop. We need to stand together to ensure that happens.

A beautiful summer evening at the tholtan ruins of Killabregga at Tholt-Y-Will. Eaten alive by insects but anything worth doing usually comes at some sort of cost 😅 #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography

@danro_art Dya know, after the last few days, you wouldn’t be far wrong! 😂😂

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

@SarahjevsEvans Good decision - the new vastly outpaints the old!

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

@danro_art The sky! And the feeling - it’s incredible, Dan.

@rtenews @BylineTimes So he should have been. It’ll be interesting to see if Europe have much to say about his discoveries.

This is an image from @I_W_M of British Commandos on a landing craft approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. 82 years ago today.
War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices to defeat fascism so that they should never be necessary again.

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

True.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

A few weeks ago, our UK media and Nigel Farage were clamouring to 'Get Starmer Out'.

Remember that? They were using it as their slogan for Matt GPT's disastrous by-election campaign. They claimed that it was a 'referendum on Starmer's leadership'.

It didn't quite go to plan. Starmer outplayed them all on that occasion.

Here's something that we need to remember though, when JD Vance came to the UK in July of 2025, he held a series of meetings in the Cotswolds with some British politicians.

Nigel Farage.
Robert Jenrick [Tory then, Reform now].
Danny Kruger [Tory then, Reform now].
James Orr [Tory then, Reform now].

Donald Trump is a destabilising force, but I don't really think he knows why. 😵‍💫

JD Vance is far more malign. He is wrapped, head-to-toe, in the Christian Nationalism/Project 2025 movement that Farage et al. are desperately trying to bring to our shores.

Reform will lose the Makerfield by-election, they picked a lame, three-legged donkey to run the Grand National. But they started this campaign the same as the last 'Get Starmer Out', before suddenly dropping it as the realisation dawned.

OK, this has gone a bit higgledy-piggledy, so what I'm trying to get to, is that any intervention by JD Vance in UK politics, is likely at the behest of Nigel Farage.

Farage is desperate, clawing at the floor while the daemon of scrutiny drags him backwards to the pitch dark basement of obscurity.

His only possible hope of survival is an early General Election, and to have that happen, he needs Starmer on the ropes.

Cue, JD Vance with a targetted intervention about:

migrants ✅
elites ✅
inciting anger ✅
Henry Nowak ✅
death of our civilization [sic] ✅

A tirade worthy of only one man … Nigel Farage.

The man who has sought to weaponise this tragedy and incited rioting only five days ago. The man who has gone against Henry's father's own wish that the tragedy should not be used as a weapon of hatred.

Nigel Farage is a dangerous force with the backing of, probably, the next President of the USA. Both are trying to destabilise and turn our societies into fascist visions of the far-right.

Don't let them.

Have a lovely weekend. 😊

@LBFlyawayhome This has just made me LOL 😂

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

@RepThomasMassie And if Russia attacked USA, I wonder who’d be the first asking for Europe’s support, eh?

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

I got 6 😂

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Just watch this…

And for the love of God, please see Farage for what he is.

His response to Sarah Everard Vs his response to Henry Nowak

Jaw dropping.

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

@DrJaninaRamirez It’s definitely a stunner!

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"

Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen... it shows exactly who he is"

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.

There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.

@DarrellWakelam I taught in a rural school in IOM and amongst other things, we had an escaped cow 🐄 take up residence on the school field and a stray ram 🐏 headbutting the glass doors of my classroom 😂 All in a day’s work!

[Cath Smith🇮🇲🇬🇷 @Fit2You]

@AndyWoodturner Well every day’s a school day…lived there til I was 23 and had no idea there had been brick kilns in the area 🤓
