Becoming increasingly disillusioned with everything

chanting “refugees are welcome here” six days after one tried beheading a man on the streets wouldn’t be possible without serious brainwashing

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.

A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.

This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.

In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.

But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”

British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?

We genuinely do not understand this.

Iain Dale left stunned by calm caller on LBC

A composed caller named Mike told Iain Dale on LBC that Britain “will remain almost ungovernable until we have mass deportations”.

The exchange was striking because the caller spoke in measured tones, clearly articulating a view held by millions of people across the country. Yet Iain struggled to process it, repeatedly falling back on “you can’t do that”.

Mike highlighted the obvious disconnect: the British public have consistently voted for lower immigration, only for politicians to deliver record levels instead.

“There’s a massive disconnect between the political class and the people of this country,” he said. “We never gave any consent to this and there’s certainly no mandate for the scale of immigration we’ve seen.”

When Iain pushed back, saying you can’t deport people here perfectly legally, the caller was unflinching:

Caller: “You mean end indefinite leave to remain?”

Iain: “You can do that for future people but you can’t do that for people who have already got it. That would be outrageous.”

Caller: “Yeah you can. Of course you can.”

Iain: “From a fairness point of view, you can’t suddenly tell people who’ve got a perfect legal right to be here that we’re changing the rules now…”

Caller: “You can, Iain.”

Iain: “Well you can do that but is that really the kind of country you want to live in?”

Caller: “Yes!”

Iain continued to argue that you can’t “take it out on perfectly legal, law-abiding people”, clearly unable to grasp how widespread this frustration has become.

The public didn’t always feel this way. Years of politicians ignoring the public on immigration have shifted attitudes dramatically. As the caller made clear, people never voted for this transformation and the consequences of fixing it now rest with those who created the problem.

Well worth a listen. The gap between Westminster and the rest of the country has rarely been clearer.

Millions must go.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one.

Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.

A very special day.

If you yelled at the people who opposed Covid lockdowns then please stop complaining about high inflation and cost of living. You supported it.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. Nor would that apply to India, Thailand, Mexico, Denmark or anywhere else.

So why is England different? Of course there is an English ethnicity. I am entirely bemused by how so many argue against that. It’s just a fact. Politicians who say otherwise are cowards. This is painfully obvious.

Restore Britain’s position is clear.

English ethnicity exists - it’s the only sodding data point that the Government collects on anything.

Of course someone who is not of that ethnicity can be British, obviously. But it equally does not mean that the English ethnicity is imaginary. Those two things can be true at the same time.

I got in trouble years ago for suggesting that the footballer Paul Pogba was French, but not ethnically French. It’s insanity. That is just a factual position. Common sense, clearly.

Separately, Restore Britain has said from the very start - owning a British passport does not make you British.

We have seen how lazily those documents have been frittered away. Holding that piece of paper does not automatically make you British, we are very clear on that.

Is the Egyptian lunatic Alaa Abd El-Fattah British? He has a passport. Restore Britain says NO. No, he is not and he should be stripped of that paper and deported.

Being British encompasses so much more than that, it means so much more than that. It is not simply a piece of paper. It is culture, shared beliefs, patriotism, language, a common understanding of what is right and wrong. That has nothing to do with ethnicity, obviously.

But for even daring to suggest that English ethnicity exists I’ll be roundly attacked.

It is just a fact.

Every other country in the world manages to acknowledge ethnicities exist without descending into hysteria.

England should be able to do the same.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Restore Britain has been called ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’ by the Guardian, Reform and the whole host of soapless socialists over the last few days.

I cannot be clearer in our official party response.

We do not care.

The illegals will go. The hotels will be emptied, the HMOs closed. Foreign sex pests, criminals and invaders will be rounded up, and they will be sent home.

Far more legals will leave than enter. Those foreign nationals here already will pay their way, they will contribute, they will respect our culture. If they don’t do that? Fine. Their choice. They will leave too.

If that’s racist to these people? Then so be it.

This is a logical policy platform that the British people agree with. They’ve just never had it seriously offered before.

Our political party is going to tell the brutal truth.

Get used to it.

[Restore Britain @RestoreBritain]

Massive news.

The first poll since our launch has Restore Britain on 10%, ahead of the Liberal Democrats.

24 hours in. 10%.

It will go higher.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I am today launching Restore Britain as a national political party.

Join us.

It is NOT a "both sides" issue.

No assassination attempts on Biden.
No assassination attempts on Kamala.
No assassination attempts on AOC.
No assassination attempts on any other prominent voice on the political left.

No violence from pro-Israeli crowds.
No arrests on the pro-Israeli side.
No calls for death or murder of those who oppose the pro-Israeli side.

Those who oppose gender ideology do not call for the death of those who disagree with them.

Those who oppose movements like BLM did not call for the death of those who took part in the BLM riots.

Social media is not flooded with videos from those on the right celebrating the deaths of those on the left or wishing harm upon them.

It is not a "both sides" issue.

[Geoff Norcott @GeoffNorcott]

Imagine leaving X because it was too ‘toxic’ only to end up celebrating a man’s murder on a different platform.

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

You know why the left hate Charlie Kirk so much? Because he's right. And he didn't use force, he debated people.

The left knew he could change people's minds, and they had no answer to that. Their arguments couldn't defeat Charlie.

So they used violence.

[Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr]

This isn’t my strong suit and I don’t even know how to begin to put into words the loss I am feeling right now over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie wasn’t just a friend — he was like a little brother to me - and to millions of people around the world - he was a true inspiration.

He was one of the most courageous, principled men I’ve ever known, and he lived every day with purpose. His faith in God was unshakable, his love for Erika was inspiring, and the way he adored and cared for his two beautiful kids showed the kind of man he truly was.

Charlie dedicated his life to something bigger than himself. He fought tirelessly for this country, for the values that make America great, and for the next generation. The impact he had on young people — reaching them in masses, giving them courage to stand up, to think for themselves, and to fight for freedom — is immeasurable. There is no question that Charlie’s work and his voice helped my father win the presidency. He changed the direction of this nation.

Charlie was never a threat to anyone. He was civil, he was kind, he listened and responded with respect. The only “threat” he ever posed was that he was incredibly effective. He was a powerful messenger of truth, and people heard that truth. That’s what made him a target.

This loss is absolutely devastating — not only for Erika and the kids, but for our country. We’ve lost a leader, a fighter, and a man whose character and conviction were rare. Too rare. To think that his life was cut short by a brutal, heinous, evil act is beyond comprehension. It is horrible and it is heartbreaking.

Moments like this remind us just how fragile life is. We can’t wait to tell people how much they mean to us — we can’t admire them in silence. Charlie knew he was loved, but I want to say it again: he was a brother to me, and I will carry that with me forever.

I know Charlie’s legacy doesn’t end here. He poured into millions of young people who will carry forward the torch he lit. He built something that will outlast him, because it was grounded in faith, in truth, and in courage. And as his friend, I will never forget him. I’ll honor him by loving boldly, speaking truth without fear, and continuing his spirit of courage. His fight lives on in all of us who loved him.

This is an unimaginable loss. For me, for his family, for everyone who loved him, and for America. Rest in peace, brother. You will be missed more than words can ever say — but your legacy will never be forgotten and we will keep fighting the good fight.

A lying war criminal writes. Also a slow learner. I left the BBC five years ago with no regrets and remain in good relations with the BBC, though I have moved on to many other things. I’m enjoying life. Unlike Campbell, who continues in his bitter ‘lying bastard’ default position.

Apparently, there’s a ‘Day of Reflection’ for COVID?

Alright, let’s reflect:

- A significant portion of the population was treated like second-class citizens over a medical choice.

- The entire country was bombarded with military-grade psychological operations to push a single narrative.

- Journalists were spied on by the state for expressing anti-lockdown views.

- You were dismissed as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for suggesting a link between mRNA vaccines and increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, and cancers — now, those concerns are openly discussed.

- At one point, those who refused the vaccine were banned from restaurants, pubs, and other public spaces.

- Families were torn apart, with many experiencing complete abandonment from loved ones simply over a medical decision.

- The flu miraculously disappeared from NHS records — but if you questioned it, you were labelled a crank.

- News outlets openly admitted that if you tested positive for COVID but died in a car crash, fell off a ladder, or had a heart attack, your death was recorded as ‘COVID-related.’

The world witnessed one of the largest psychological operations in history. For those who didn’t fall for it — you should be extremely proud of yourself.

[Neil Oliver @thecoastguy]

On this day of Covid reflection I reflect on how there was no pandemic, Covid was a hoax and the lies of the state inflicted uncounted numbers of deaths and injuries upon the world.

Come on Alastair. You understand exactly what Vance means by a hierarchy of obligations. That's why you were helping your son with his unlicensed betting scheme because you have greater obligations towards him. You wouldn't do that for a stranger - him you'd just send to war on fake pretexts.
