Was supposed to be joining @RupertLowe10 for a @RestoreBritain event tonight. If I had travelled to the UK, I would have been arrested on the spot and could have faced up to 4 years in prison.
I can’t visit for one day to give a speech, yet thousands of people without papers cross the Channel and are given free housing and citizenship.

This account is worth following - Ben is revealing all the details with regards to MCC, Andy Burnham and Adu Dhabi and MCC’s refusal to fully disclose. ⬇️⬇️
Danny Tommo is locked up until June 2027 for damaging property that had no owner.
Tommy Robinson faces sentencing next month for doing journalism.
Lucy Connolly was jailed for more than two years for words on social media.
Now compare:
Ricky Jones said on live camera that right-wingers needed their throats cut : no prison.
Labour MP Mike Amesbury beat a constituent he was elected to represent : no prison.
Huw Edwards possessed explicit images of children : no prison.
Mohammad Amaaz beat police officers at Manchester Airport : years of delays before conviction.
Same country, different rules.
Labour’s Lucy Powell, trying to explain why she was complicit on Ed Miliband interview with Brand in 2015, says a)it was before social media; and b) there was no easy way of checking on people in these days.
Which is strange since a) she’d been on social media since 2009 and by 2015 it was in full swing; and b) Google has been available since 2000.
Other than that her explanation is entirely credible.
Polly Tearooms in Marlborough closes after 114 years. For the same reasons that all businesses are struggling: NI rise, minimum wage, taxes, regulations.
Our rulers can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to run a small enterprise within tight profit margins.
Whose side are the police on?
Builder Robert Simpson lives with his wife in a flat in Plymouth where they don’t lock their front door because they know their neighbours so well.
At 6am on Sunday Simpson, 41, finds a 6ft young man in boxer shorts sleeping on his sofa.
He asked three times for him to get out and on the fourth occasion the man woke up and took a swing.
Simpson’s wife phoned 999 while he and the young man “ scrapped”. The police arrived and arrested the intruder on suspicion of assault.
Now, the times reports, the cops have said they won’t press charges because the only witness to the fight was his “biased” wife.
Unbelievable.
Further, Simpson asked about a possible charge of breaking and entering but the local police said it wasn’t a criminal offence in England Wales.
Is that true?
And since nothing was taken there couldn’t be a burglary charge either.
I wonder if the Chief Constable James Vaughan, who covers Plymouth , woke to find similar circumstances if a charge wouldn’t be made?
This is a shocker and Plymouth police must be made to change their minds.
