King Æthelstan – The Father of England 🏴
On 12th July 927, at Eamont in Cumbria, the rulers of Britain recognised King Æthelstan as the first King of a united England.
The grandson of Alfred the Great, Æthelstan completed the work his grandfather had begun. By bringing the last Viking kingdom in England under his rule, he united the English under one crown for the first time in history.
But Æthelstan was more than a conqueror. He strengthened the law, encouraged learning, fostered the Church, minted a single national coinage, and built diplomatic ties across Europe. Contemporary rulers regarded him as one of the most powerful kings in Christendom.
Ten years later, at the Battle of Brunanburh (937), he defeated a grand alliance of Scots, Vikings and Strathclyde Britons, securing the survival of the young Kingdom of England. The victory was celebrated in one of the greatest poems of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and ensured that England would remain united.
Without Æthelstan, there may never have been a Kingdom of England.
Today, remember the man who became England's first king and laid the foundations of the nation we know today. 🏴
Remember, all Muslim countries in the Middle East were once Christian.
When the Muslim invaders came, they killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children.
That’s how those countries became Islamic. And that’s exactly what they’re trying to do in Europe and America now.
How do I explain to the psychologist that I saw a lost kitten and its mother found it, scolded it, and after checking that it was okay, slapped it and took it home?
Mohammad, de Pakistán, pasó el día acosando a mujeres en Corea del Sur e intentó eludir las consecuencias alegando «islamofobia», una táctica que suele funcionar en Occidente. Pero los coreanos no cayeron en la trampa.
¡Así es como se trata a personas como Mohammad!
A Labour MP, Afzal Khan, has just reported me to the parliamentary authorities for my criticisms of Sharia courts, the burqa and halal slaughter.
In addition - he has reported our Rape Gang Inquiry for seeking to 'scapegoat' Muslims and 'sow division' in society.
He has also included in his report, published on his Facebook page, my appearance on Joe Rogan's show.
Appearing on Rogan's podcast itself he says is 'extremely problematic'.
I would like to be abundantly clear in my response.
I will not be apologising. I will not be silenced.
My views are shared by a large majority of the British people, and there is finally a political party willing to stand up for that patriotic majority.
Restore Britain.
RIP Ann Widdecombe, 78.
A wonderfully no-nonsense, straight-talking, highly-opinionated British battle-axe. Ann was always a very feisty, combative interviewee, but always great fun too. Amid so many dreary politicians, she was a charismatic, combative gem.
In Germany, a polygamous Syrian refugee family is causing outrage.
Ahmed lives with his 2 wives and 6 children in a rent-free house. He says he is looking for 2 more wives and wants to have 20 children.
He is illiterate, doesn’t work, and claims his only goal is to have as many children as possible ‘to make Germany more Muslim.’
A Ladybird's takeoff is way more dramatic than you think.
In fact it is an incredibly complex engineering feat. It lifts its hard, spotted outer wings ~ known as the elytra ~ to reveal delicate, translucent hindwings hidden underneath, which unfurl to nearly four times the beetle's body size in a split second.

The Left will tell you we Brits were the biggest purveyors of slavery - we stopped slavery and only paid back that debt in 2015.
Slavery today, check out: The Middle East/Asia and Africa just for starters.
The most famous prayer in cinema was unscripted.
In the bar scene, George Bailey sits alone. He is bankrupt, suicidal, and desperate. He prays: "God... I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there and you can hear me, show me the way."
James Stewart (the actor) wasn't acting. He had just returned from WWII, where he flew combat missions and saw men die. He was suffering from severe PTSD.
He later admitted: "As I said those words, I felt the loneliness of my own life... I broke down sobbing. That wasn't in the script."
The camera captured a real man crying out to God for help.
The world is staying silent in the face of the horrific massacre of dogs in Morocco. The king ordered the elimination of ALL dogs ahead of the 2030 World Cup (3 million stray dogs)
Methods:
- Shooting them in the streets
- Poisoning
- Burning alive
- Drowning them in cages
Devastated to learn of the sad passing of national treasure Ann Widdecombe. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Ann countless times - she was a deeply principled, honourable & tremendously fun person. She had an unshakable faith in God, and I hope she is with Him now.
