I don't know if Kier will resign tomorrow - but what I think is an absolute national tragedy is that the Labour Party haven't got a single MP out of all 403 of them in parliament that are deemed good enough to replace him! They've had to go to the Mayor of Manchester, shoe horn him in as an MP, just so they have someone with a modicum of charisma and gravitas to be the next PM.

The lack of talent, business know-how and intelligence across all our MP's in all parties is what is, in my opinion, what is wrong with our country. I just wish we could fix it, but of course we can't because it relies on those very MP's to change this - and, as we all know, turkeys don't vote for Christmas!

A third runway at Heathrow would only add 0.05%, so let’s not bother, ignoring all the companies that would benefit.

Building nuclear power stations takes too long, let’s not bother and continue buying Russian gas.

This mentality is why we’re in the shit. Build the sodding runway.

In 2008, a chap on the desk told me I was too old to understand modern markets.

He was aggressively buying property lenders. I was quietly short the same names.

Every time they rallied he would call me "grandad".

Then one Tuesday, his favourite fell 40%.

I didn’t say a word.

Tony Blair made a Pakistani pedophile from Rotherham a Baron.

He retains his title.

A third of businesses in the UK use a VPN to conduct business. This is the lengths this Starmer regime will go to silence dissident voices.

The regime is terrified of the people.

Word of the day: ginnel.

Northern English: a narrow passage between buildings.

Cousin to the York snickelway, the snicket, the jitty and the alley.

England has an unreasonable number of words for “small gap between houses.”

We take these things seriously.

I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.

Rotherham. A small town in northern England.

For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.

Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.

The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.

For sixteen years, not one of them moved.

Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.

That is the moment something in you breaks.

And here is the part that makes it worse.

The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.

This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.

Then Elon Musk bought X.

The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.

But it did.

And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.

Towns the country had been told to forget.

Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.

X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.

That is worth saying out loud.

Hi Owen, thanks for your thread. I’d just like to make you aware - I really don’t care about what you say or think. Cheers.

[Dr Philip Kiszely @KiszelyPhilip]

A year before 7/7 I was stabbed, beaten and left for dead on a street in Manchester. It was a gang of Somali youths. My colleagues - I was working at a university - couldn’t bring themselves to blame the perpetrators. It was poverty, it was me, it was anything. But it wasn’t the masked thugs with stanley knives.

7/7 was the same. London Mayor Ken Livingstone urged us not to apportion blame. Even now the MSM refuses to acknowledge the Islamist nature of the crime. It’s an extraordinary state of affairs.

Years later, in 2017, when twenty-two people, some of them children, were killed in the Manchester Arena attack, history repeated itself. Don’t look back in anger. One Love. Shit poetry.

The stabbing I got over. But it took me years to come to terms with the pathetic reaction from the hand-wringing identitarians. That was really, really damaging. So I understand full well the harm we do to ourselves when we pretend 7/7 was some bizarre and contextless tragedy.

It was Islamist terror - and there’s more to come.

And you know what? We have absolutely no hope of effectively dealing with it.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

When a white, British local man drove a car into a crowd in Liverpool, the police immediately rushed to tell us all about him. Why haven’t we got ALL the details of the Belfast attacker? What’s the difference?

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

Hard not to think this @UKLabour government hates Britain, as it systematically destroys everything that made this country what it is

So many of our industries closing. So many ancient schools closing. So many pubs closing

There's going to be nothing left by 2029
