Councillors who can barely fill potholes have somehow found the time and money to launch a High Court action against people hanging flags near roads during a major football tournament.

England’s World Cup campaign has kicked off with fans across the country flying St George’s Cross and the Union Flag, yet in Oxfordshire the political priority is not road safety or public services but lawfare against a grassroots “Raise the Colours” campaign.

A state that fears its own flag more than its crime stats has completely inverted any sensible idea of what public order means.

Labour made a lot of noise about old posts from Rob Kenyon when he was a normal member of the public. “Misogynist” they yelled.

Yesterday, Labour were happy to wheel out Hugh Grant, who was arrested in LA for lewd conduct after he was caught paying a sex worker.

Such hypocrites

The Bank of England openly tracks private sector pay as the key gauge of domestically‑generated inflation pressure.

So what does it tell you when private pay growth drops to its lowest rate in years while public sector pay continues to outpace it?
It tells you the productive side of the economy is being choked while the protected side is still on a guaranteed escalator.

Businesses are cutting back, households are tightening belts, but the state has insulated itself from the very conditions it helped create through higher taxes, higher regulation and relentless cost‑pushing.

This is not “fairness”; it is a transfer from risk‑takers to risk‑free employees, enforced by HMRC and dressed up as social justice.

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is

Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?

And somehow that is the whole point

I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it

From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again

When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak

The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them

But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus

Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it

A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it

And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care

And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off

He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard

That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show

We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product

That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was

And that is exactly why we keep watching

Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!

"At the police station, Kate was taken into the interview room. Before the interview began, and without Kate’s mother present, Kate was told that this was her “last chance” to say that her report was untrue. She was warned that if any part of her account could not be supported by evidence, she could and would be arrested. For an extended period of time, both officers repeatedly told her how much trouble she would be in if any detail of her statement was disproved, and that she could withdraw the allegation before the interview started with no further consequences. They also suggested that her parents would be relieved if she said the incident had not happened."

Britain’s Labour gov wants to force image-scanning spyware into EVERY phone in the country.

Old, new, secondhand, even the wiped one you hand your kid.

They admitted it this week: reset the phone and the scanner activates. Apple and Google must wire it into the OS and backport it to devices sold years ago.

This is client-side scanning that rips open encryption before the lock even snaps shut, a trained model that needs constant updates.

“Adults can turn it off” after showing digital ID, of course.

Tech reality check: Most old phones do not get OS updates. Many Androids are abandoned forks. Older chips cannot run the AI without melting the battery.

Teens will just stay on old software, flash custom ROMs, or buy cheap handsets without it.

This is expensive theater from a government that does not understand technology but loves control.

Rachel Reeves humiliated again as she's blamed for killing jobs

New jobs figures show that the more and more people are choosing a life on "benefits street" because of Reeves' policies.

the number classed as "economically inactive" has risen to 20,489,441 people.

20,489,441...

That's 30% of the UK! This is not sustainable!

It's not just jobs that she kills...

She kills the ambitions of the young seeking jobs. She kills pensioners. She kills hardworking families.

Despicable, inept witch.

Starting next month the Starmer Regime will:

BAN VPN's
Enforce Internet Curfews
& launch full STATE CONTROL of the internet

Are British people just going to roll over & accept this?

Do YOU plan on just accepting, what will be, tighter internet control than North Korea?

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

Politicians are meant to represent us, not rule over us and make our lives miserable.

We want:

▪️Safe streets for our kids

▪️Same laws for ALL, no exceptions

▪️Brits prioritised for the services that we fund via taxes

▪️Work rewarded, not punished

Many victims/survivors or child sexual abuse and rape got this letter this week saying their abusers are being assessed to be released after serving just 33% of their sentence. Ive had message after message from people deverstated after recieving it. By the end of this year, 100's or rapists and pedophiles could be released onto our streets.
This is how kier starmer plans to tackle VAWG........ by letting more sexualy violent men back onto the streets after serving just a slap on the wrist for some of the worst crimes imaginable

Henry Nowak is murdered by an immigrant, his family, and the police.

A man is nearly beheaded by an immigrant.

A report shows 250,000 UK children have been raped by immigrants.

UK PM Keir Starmer responds with a social media ban, digital ID, and proposed VPN ban.

Why? He wants the Muslim vote.

A sick man.

The Labour government are trying to create a digital prison for the entire British population with the government as the prison wardens. No one voted for this.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

Scotland Yard wanted Palantir’s software to automate and integrate intelligence analysis in criminal investigations – the kind of back‑office capability voters assume a 21st‑century police force already has.

Instead, the Met is now stuck between a Mayor anxious about his image and a US tech firm convinced that City Hall is weaponising regulation to signal its ‘values’ to the activist lobby.

Londoners were never asked a straight question: do you want your police to have modern data tools, subject to robust oversight, or do you prefer a Mayor who picks fights with suppliers after the fact to score political points?

Khan’s grandstanding hasn’t stopped “Big Tech”; it’s simply ensured that critical policing infrastructure will be decided by judges and human‑rights lawyers instead of open debate and competent governance.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

The irony of a Labour mayor being dragged into court under the ECHR for allegedly stifling a company’s freedom to express political opinions should not be lost on anyone.

Palantir’s claim explicitly frames City Hall’s conduct as an attack on its ability to develop and advocate technology for law enforcement – a political expression protected by Article 10.

For years, Khan has wrapped himself in “human rights” language to justify intrusive policing reforms, speech codes and institutional re‑engineering of the Met.

Now the same framework is being turned back on him, with a court asked to rule whether his own office breached free‑speech protections to appease a particular political tribe.

If he loses, it will be a textbook example of how selective rights talk collapses when confronted with its own double standards.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

City Hall wants to boast that it is standing up to “surveillance capitalism” by blocking a controversial US firm; Palantir wants to tell investors it won’t be pushed around by grandstanding politicians.

Somewhere in the middle, London’s crime victims and frontline officers are reduced to extras in a transatlantic branding war that should never have replaced boring, rule‑bound procurement.

If Palantir wins, London taxpayers will likely end up footing the bill for wasted tender work, potential damages and years of delay in modernising policing intelligence.

If Khan wins, the message to any serious tech provider is clear: investing time and money in UK public‑sector tenders is a reputational minefield where contracts can be torpedoed at the eleventh hour for ideological reasons.

Either way, Khan’s style‑over‑substance politics have turned a policing decision into another expensive, performative mess.
