This is shocking.

Restore Britain’s Greater Manchester mayoral candidate, Marlon West (@MarlonTag), is a qualified mental health nurse. Marlon has spent 30 years working in the NHS across Greater Manchester. He has just been suspended by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, days before the election.

Evidently, the timing of the suspension is very questionable.

For those who don’t know, Marlon’s daughter was raped and abused by gangs of Pakistani men in Greater Manchester. Marlon has spent years campaigning to ensure other families do not suffer the same fate.

What has Marlon been suspended for?

In a discussion on a private Facebook group, Marlon referred to the injuries his daughter received at the hands of one of these gangs.

His ‘offending’ language?

“This is what Pakistanis do. After being raped and tortured. My daughter you sicko”.

Clearly, Marlon is right. Pakistani men have been largely responsible for industrial rape across Britain. Marlon knows that better than any of us.

Since the original referral into these comments, they have made further investigations into other social media posts that Marlon has made.

Marlon stated “Ban Afghans from entering the UK”.

I entirely agree with him - that is Restore Britain policy.

Marlon’s response is below.

“I regret nothing, and I will not be apologising. I stand by everything I said.

Gangs of primarily Pakistani Muslim men have raped, abused and tortured vulnerable white English girls across Greater Manchester for decades.

Finally there is the political will to fight it with Restore Britain.

I am proud to be the Restore Britain candidate for the Greater Manchester mayoral election next week.

I will make one promise.

If I am elected, I will go to war with the rape gangs across Greater Manchester.

For my daughter, and the thousands of others who have suffered the same evil.”

Brave words from Marlon.

I, and the entire Restore Britain family, stand with Marlon West.

I hope the good people of Greater Manchester back him in vast numbers next Thursday.

In the last few hours alone Andy Burnham’s Government has talked about:

Cutting energy bills
Lifting the personal tax allowance
Nationalising Thames Water
The biggest council house programme since the War
Giving mayors more funding
Creating a new National Care Service
More overseas aid
Cutting student loan repayments
More employment support
Ending homelessness

These are billions of pounds of spending commitments and that's on top of raising defence spending to 3%.

Where’s the money coming from?

There’s been no serious explanation at all of how they will be funded. I am very concerned the Prime Minister is making a lot of promises without giving the country an explanation about how we can afford them.

We cannot borrow even more - we are paying more in debt interest than we do on defence.

The answer can’t be tax rises either. The tax burden is already far too high, and families and businesses shouldn’t face even higher bills.

The only answer is to cut spending. Andy Burnham should be in Parliament explaining what his actual plans are and how he is going to pay for them.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Burnham’s big cost of living announcement is to reduce energy bills for *just some* households by 82 pence per week.

That buys you this celery from Sainsbury’s.

Meanwhile he’s sending £155 million to Pakistan in foreign aid.

Burnham is Starmer in jeans.

🚨 RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME! 🚨Our "leaders" spent months lecturing us to "avoid speculation" and "not jump to conclusions" during active police investigations. 🤫🤐 But the second they saw a chance for a political PR win, they threw their own advice in the bin! 🗑️💥PM Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood rushed straight to the microphones to claim police "undoubtedly saved lives" over the Suffolk Ijtima event before a SINGLE device was even checked! 📣🤥Now? ALL TERROR CHARGES DROPPED. Case collapsed. No evidence found. Absolute crickets from Downing Street. 🦗🤡They weaponized raw intelligence for a quick headline, panicked the public, and exposed their own pathetic double standards. Hypocrisy at the absolute highest level! 🤮🎪#Suffolk #UKPolitics #Starmer #Mahmood #DoubleStandards #Hypocrisy #PoliceState #FreeSpeech

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Shabana Mahmood has misled Parliament.

She falsely claimed there was an attempted terror attack on an Islamic event and police arrests “undoubtedly saved lives”.

Now the police say they “found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.”

Where is the condemnation from the BBC and media establishment for “speculating”?

Mahmood is a disgrace and must resign.

[Kent (Ready to Stand) @RB_Folkestone]

She was just the messenger, her masters gave the orders….and they will continue to do so with Burnham’s administration.

They’ll pull-back a few levers to look nice (e.g. ID cards, North Sea drilling and keeping Jury trials) but ultimately they’ll have to carry on the grand New World Order plan.

More decentralised power coming to help flatten the UK - more concentrated blows now. Our cities are no longer British, and they will recieve power beyond their wildest dreams; maybe Labour’s way to stop their bloc vote from moving independent before eventually setting up its own Party - e.g. The UK Islam Party.

Our replacement is about to go to another level - wait for it, majority of Council homes not for White people.

It is unbearable to witness, and a King and Royal Family that backs it all too.

We are nearing the demoralisation phase that Yuri Benmenov spoke about many years ago.

It’s pure evil and my fellow countrymen are dead at the wheel.

God Save the UK.

You're the MP for Leeds East, Richard. Leeds. Not Gaza. Not the West Bank. Leeds.

Your constituents in Burmantofts, Halton Moor, and Cross Gates are wondering:

Why are you tweeting about foreign conflicts while Leeds East has some of the highest child poverty in Britain?
Why are you obsessed with Israel while your own constituency has rising crime, failing schools, and a crumbling NHS?
Why do you care more about Hamas propaganda than the 18,610 people who voted for you to represent THEM?
You take £91,346 of British taxpayer money plus expenses. Your job is Leeds East. Your job is not being the unofficial ambassador for terrorist sympathisers.

Leeds East has:

35% child poverty rate
Rising violent crime
Housing waiting lists years long
Food bank dependency at record highs
And you're tweeting about Palestine? About Israel? About foreign conflicts 3,000 miles away?

Your constituents didn't vote for an international activist. They voted for someone to fix their roads, fund their schools, protect their streets. They got a Corbyn cultist who cares more about Hamas than Halton.

Here's a question for you, Richard:

Why does an English MP representing one of Britain's poorest constituencies spend more time attacking the Middle East's only democracy than fixing the poverty in his own backyard?

Is it because actually helping Leeds East requires hard work, while tweeting "Free Palestine" gets you likes from London activists who've never set foot in your constituency?

You're not an MP. You're a performance artist playing revolutionary while your constituents go hungry.

Do your job. Or resign and let someone who actually cares about Leeds East take the seat.

This is what happens when police don’t take masked up e-bike riders who drive in parks and bike paths seriously. her head was partially internally decapitated!!

This happened in Tamworth..

This could happen to any child. If nothing changes, it is only a matter of time before another family is living our nightmare.
Sienna was riding her bike and playing with her friends after school on a cycle path in the park—a place where children should be able to laugh, play and feel safe. Instead, she was struck by a motorbike that was being ridden where it never should have been. The impact was so violent it snapped her bike in half.

Before this, Sienna was an active, fearless little girl. She loved MMA, backflips on the trampoline, and making everyone around her smile. In an instant, all of that changed. She has suffered life-changing injuries. Her head was partially internally decapitated, and we have been told that the fact she is still here is nothing short of a miracle.
I am angry beyond words. I am heartbroken beyond measure.

To the people who choose to ride motorbikes up and down cycle paths, parks and places where children play: every time you make that choice, you are gambling with someone's life. You may think it won't happen. You may think you are in control. But your decision could kill a child. It nearly killed mine.

No family should ever have to hear the words we heard. No child should have to endure the pain Sienna has endured. No parent should have to watch their child fight for their life because someone chose to ignore the safety of everyone around them.
Sienna is the strongest, bravest, funniest girl I know. She is still fighting every single day. Now we will fight too—not just for her, but for every child who deserves to be safe while playing with their friends.
Please don't wait until the next child isn't as lucky. This has to stop.

Natalie Queiroz was stabbed 24 times by her own fiancé Babur 'Bobby' Raja just 20 minutes after he called her on the phone to say he loved her.

Eight months pregnant Natalie was walking into Sutton Coldfield town centre for a spot of shopping when she heard footsteps running up behind her. A man dressed in a black hoodie suddenly began stabbing her in an attack she later described as "incessant".

Natalie tried to protect her baby bump and thought she recognised the attacker as her fiancé, Babur 'Bobby' Raja.

Passersby bravely stepped in and pulled the man away, but he broke free and crouched down to resume the stabbing after she collapsed.

Describing those terrifying moments to the BBC, Natalie said: “I put my head down and he pulled up in front of me, and he crouched down and he began the attack again.”

The father of her unborn child had stabbed her 24 times, hitting all her major organs in what medics later called an execution.

There had been no warning signs at all in the days leading up to the violence. Bobby had been relaxed and cuddling her in bed, and he even bought treats for the midwives during a maternity visit.

He later admitted he had been cold-bloodedly planning the murder attempt for at least two weeks.

Natalie was airlifted to hospital where she underwent an emergency C-section alongside major surgery to repair her heart, lungs, liver, wrist, and abdomen.
Both Natalie and her daughter miraculously survived the ordeal.

In court, it emerged that Bobby had been tipped over the edge after being forced to choose between his conservative Muslim mother's faith and the love of his life.

Babur Raja admitted attempted murder, attempted child destruction, possession of a knife in public and the wounding and assault of two passersby, and he was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

More than a hundred thousand Bornean orangutans vanished between 1999 and 2015. Half the island's population, gone in sixteen years, and the largest single driver is the oil in your biscuit.

Orangutans exist in exactly two places on earth now, Borneo and Sumatra, and both are being cleared at some of the fastest rates on the planet to plant oil palm. Around 350,000 hectares of Bornean forest have gone every year this century. The way it is cleared is the ugly part. The forest is not felled and milled, it is drained and burned. Developers cut channels into the peat to dry it out, then set the land alight, and peat does not burn like wood. It smoulders underground for weeks, sometimes months, throwing up a toxic haze that drifts across whole countries.

In 2015 that haze became one of the worst environmental disasters in modern memory. About 2.6 million hectares burned. On many days that autumn the fires in Indonesia released more carbon dioxide than the entire economy of the United States. A study by Harvard and Columbia estimated the smoke caused around a hundred thousand premature deaths across Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, alongside half a million respiratory infections. The World Bank put the bill at sixteen billion dollars. All of it to clear ground for palm and pulp.

The animals in that forest do not walk away. The orangutan is slow, and it starves among the stumps or wanders into the new plantation looking for food and is killed as a pest. In 2018 one was found on Indonesian Borneo shot a hundred and thirty times with an air gun, then stabbed and clubbed. Mothers are killed and their babies sold into the illegal pet trade. The Sumatran tiger, the rhino and the elephant are being pushed off the same burning map at the same time, each down to a few thousand animals or a few hundred, each running out of the one forest it has.

The culprits are not hard to find. About 85% of the world's palm oil comes from Indonesia and Malaysia, and investigators have traced palm grown on illegally cleared land straight into the supply chains of the largest names in the aisle: Nestlé, PepsiCo, Unilever, Procter and Gamble, Mondelez. From there it goes everywhere. Palm oil sits in something like half the packaged products in the shop, the spread, the chocolate, the biscuit, the instant noodle, the tub of dairy-free ice cream, the very things sold as the lighter, greener, kinder choice.

Almost all of it now carries a small stamp promising it was sustainably sourced. In one recent year the stretch of Sumatra known as the orangutan capital of the world lost more forest than in the previous four years combined. Stamp and all.

Another Day, Another "British" Pakistani Grooming Gang Special in the People's Republic of Greater Manchester

Well, well, well. Surprise, surprise yet another batch of "British Pakistani" men have been dragged into court for turning vulnerable British girls into their personal playthings. Because nothing says "integrated community" like decades of systematic rape and exploitation, right?

Step right up and meet the latest stars of Operation Whatever-the-Fuck-They’re-Calling-It-This-Time:

Ashfaq Khan, 46, of Bury hit with a whopping 36 counts including rape, attempted rape, indecent assault, and false imprisonment. Thirty-six. The man’s a one-man crime wave.

Zaheer Iqbal, 52, of Accrington — four counts of rape and two of false imprisonment.

Qamar Jehangeer, 38, of Bolton — four counts of rape.

These fine upstanding gentlemen are accused of preying on 10 girls aged just 12 to 16 between 1996 and 2003.

That’s not a one-off mistake. That’s an industrial-scale operation spanning years.

This is the same old song we’ve heard on loop for decades: Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, and now this latest chapter under "Operation Sky."

Pakistani heritage men, British passports, targeting working-class White girls the authorities treated like trash. Police, councils, and social services too busy clutching their pearls about "racism" to actually protect British kids.

The girls were children. These men were adults. And the system that imported this cultural enrichment and then covered for it still refuses to call it what it is.

They’ll appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. I’ll believe real justice when I see proper sentences not the usual slap on the wrist followed by sympathetic headlines about "trauma-informed support."

How many more inquiries, "complex investigations," and broken British girls before we admit the bleeding obvious? Mass migration from incompatible cultures + spineless institutions = this nightmare on repeat.

Name and shame them. Ashfaq Khan. Zaheer Iqbal. Qamar Jehangeer. And shame every politician, copper, and journalist who spent years gaslighting the public while our daughters paid the price.

England isn’t theirs to ruin. Time to stop pretending otherwise.

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

Something changed when Swiss farmers stopped fighting pests with more chemicals and started planting flowers instead.
Researchers found that wildflower strips sown through winter wheat fields cut cereal leaf beetle numbers by up to 53%.

Crop damage dropped by 61% because the flowers gave natural predators like parasitic wasps and hoverflies a place to live and hunt on. The idea is refreshingly simple.
Give nature's pest controllers a home and they take care of the rest.

The UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology has now planted similar strips across 15 farms in England to test whether the results hold outside Switzerland.

Early signs suggest these flower corridors help insects reach the center of large fields, not just the edges. It is a small change with a big promise for farmers hoping to grow food without leaning so hard on pesticides.
