@PompeyPedro It’s a disgrace having a foreigner of any nationality in charge of our national team.
Sad, disgraceful, awful I’d rather not qualify and retain our dignity ☹️
I received a personal letter from @RupertLowe10 today.
House of Commons postmark. Direct answers. No waffle.
That told me everything I needed to know.
Rupert Lowe and @RestoreBritain are the real deal.
Makerfield now has a chance to send shockwaves through the establishment with Rebecca Shepherd.
Labour won’t save us.
The Tories won’t save us.
Reform won’t cut the mustard.
It is time to get behind Restore Britain.
For your family.
For your children.
For England.
We are running out of time — but we are not out of fight.
Share this. Make them hear us.
🚨UPDATE : Not only may Keir Starmers social media ban be in breach of Article 8 it may now also be in breach of Article 10 of the ECHR.
And yes the ECHRs rights extends to children.
🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: Petition to stop the social media ban.
kids are having none of it.
Let’s get some signatures on this petition to stop the social media ban.
Anyone with half a brain knows this isn’t about child safety it’s about sneaking in Digital ID through the back door.
Please sign and share 🙏🏼 🇬🇧🫡❤️
Petition: Do not ban social media for under 16s

🚨 THE DIGITAL PRISON IS ALREADY HERE.
Good morning to the millions of hardworking Brits waking up to a brand new surveillance state.
55 million adults will soon need to hand over their passport or face scan just to use X, Instagram and YouTube.
Every single adult. Not just teenagers.
450,000 people signed a petition to scrap it in days. The government said no!
The same government that cannot track 224,700 failed asylum seekers wants your biometric data before you are allowed to post a tweet.
This was never about children. Screenshot this before they bury it. RT if you refuse. 🇬🇧🔥
On the night the Titanic sank, a 21-year-old college student watched his father die.
Hours later, doctors told him both of his legs would have to be amputated.
Instead, he got up and started walking.
His name was Richard Norris Williams.
And surviving the Titanic was only the beginning of his story.
In April 1912, Richard and his father, Charles Duane Williams, boarded the Titanic as first-class passengers in Cherbourg, France.
They were traveling to America so Richard could continue his studies at Harvard.
When the ship struck the iceberg on April 14, father and son made their way to the deck together.
Then disaster struck again.
As the Titanic sank, one of its massive funnels collapsed.
The falling structure hit Charles Williams and killed him instantly.
Richard was standing beside him.
He narrowly escaped the same fate.
Moments later, he was in the freezing North Atlantic.
The water temperature was around 28°F (-2°C).
Most people survived only minutes.
Richard spent roughly six hours in the water or clinging to one of the partially submerged collapsible lifeboats before rescue arrived.
When the RMS Carpathia finally picked up survivors at dawn, his condition was severe.
His legs were frozen from the knees down.
The ship's doctor examined him and delivered a grim verdict:
Both legs would need to be amputated.
In 1912, severe frostbite often meant gangrene, infection, and death.
Amputation was considered the safest option.
Richard refused.
He reportedly told doctors that he was going to need his legs.
Then he got out of bed.
Against medical advice, he began walking the deck of the Carpathia every two hours.
Day and night.
Step after painful step.
For four days.
By the time the ship reached New York, his condition had improved enough that amputation was no longer necessary.
He walked off the ship on his own.
Most people would consider that the defining story of a lifetime.
For Richard Williams, it wasn't.
A few months later, he enrolled at Harvard.
Then he returned to tennis.
In 1914, he won the U.S. National Championship, the tournament that would later become the U.S. Open.
In 1916, he won it again.
Over the following years, he became one of the best tennis players in the world, winning multiple major doubles titles and representing the United States internationally.
Then came World War I.
Williams served in the U.S. Army and distinguished himself in combat.
France awarded him both the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor for his service.
After the war, he returned to tennis once again.
At the 1924 Paris Olympics, he badly sprained his ankle during the mixed doubles tournament and considered withdrawing.
His partner, Hazel Wightman, refused to let him quit.
Williams played much of the tournament barely able to move.
Together, they won Olympic gold.
Over the years, he became a Davis Cup captain, a respected figure in American tennis, and eventually a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Yet people who knew him rarely heard him talk about any of it.
Not the Titanic.
Not the championships.
Not the war.
Not the medals.
Not the Olympic gold.
In fact, he disliked attention so much that later in life he had approximately 160 tennis trophies melted down into a single silver serving tray.
He used it to serve drinks to guests in his Pennsylvania home.
Most visitors had no idea what it was.
Or what it represented.
A Titanic survivor.
A two-time national champion.
A decorated war veteran.
An Olympic gold medalist.
A Hall of Famer.
All hidden inside an ordinary tray sitting quietly on a side table.
Richard Norris Williams died in 1968 at the age of 77.
If you had met him, he probably wouldn't have told you any of this.
And that may be the most remarkable thing about him.
@andrewlawrence Nailed it again Andrew, l haven’t/won’t watch a kick and I class myself as a football fan ☹️
I’ll take great pleasure in walking my dog when the team that call themselves England play.
BBC News had a good run, inoculated from market forces and producing news - increasingly aimed, not at customers - but newsroom peers and awards judges. In recent years, most notably its coverage of the 2015 migrant crisis, Brexit, Trump and Israel, BBC News showed itself to be institutionally incapable of balance. It doesn’t deserve to be decimated. It deserves to be shut down.
Morocco is facing growing international condemnation over reports of widespread killings and disappearances of street dogs as authorities “clean up” cities ahead of activities connected to the 2030 FIFA World Cup. https://t.co/Gn2WdUvGX3
Our post views seem to be getting lower day by day. So if you see Beethoven today could you drop him a heart or say hello. Think it's to do with the algorithm that we are slowly disappearing 😢

This is Wayne Broadhurst a honest decent man who loved his dog
He was murdered by an Afghan national last year
The government failed him and his family
Please never forget him 🙏🏻🙏🏻
White countries in the World Cup have lots of black players.
Black countries in the World Cup gave zero white players.
Why are black countries so racist?
Watching the Japan World Cup team, which is an almost 99% Japanese squad play against a team like Holland, who is almost less than 40% Dutch will be a real eye opener for normies, I hope.
What is the point of national sports contests if every team is just a bunch of Africans?
Every year thousands of abandoned dogs end up in local authority pounds.
Q) Do you know how many of those end up euthanised?
A) No
The reason is that local authorities do not keep accurate records, some keep none at all.
This needs to change 👇

No one asked to see my dogs but here they are!! Both rescued as strays. In England, they would both have been killed after 7 days. We need to give these beautiful animals a chance!!
