Just been talking to my Dad an old miner about Labour he's voted Labour in every election local & national since he was 18 - voting age had changed from 21 to 18 so he thought he had a duty. He said he wouldn't vote for them or any politician again while 'they' earn 100k plus expenses & think they can tell anyone anything who is earning 25k - and this is the problem with contemporary politics & politicians out of step with the public materially but also politically. We need a massive clear out of the gravy train riders, the identity politics & the cranks.
@redrumlisa Yes, exactly. My partner said a brickie would have picked up on this sooner than a public sector worker. The people in these jobs are quite often the opposite kind of what we need in these positions where common sense is essential.
One of the craziest things about the UK rape gang scandal is that it's largely considered a 'right wing' concern.
In a sane, serious country, it would be completely bipartisan. In fact, it wouldn't even be seen as a political issue, but one of basic justice and morality.
Fun fact: Exactly zero of these people were in office in 2018, when FIFA announced the World Cup was coming to the US, literally NONE of it occurs in New York City or New York State, and the Governor of New Jersey just got into office. These people did nothing.
A ‘refugee’ is a legal designation, not a moral category. A person can be a genuine refugee, genuinely fleeing genuine persecution and also pose a serious risk to British citizens. The failure to recognise this is putting us all at risk, says Owen Shapell

@AlistairCarns had a distinguished military career. It is damning that Benn, Starmer, Hermer, Reeves and others would not listen to him on lawfare, the Northern Ireland Bill, on defence transformation or on financial resources; and all credit to this RM veteran for stepping into the breach and his resignation on principle.
His dynamite resignation, on the back of the Healey exit represents the necessary detonation of a political bomb under UK defence; highlighting how screwed up it all really is, how badly Starmer is lying to the country, and how totally irresponsible is this @UKLabour government.
Carns is very right on the big things, the MoD and the “centre” are not facing reality on the changing technologies of war, they are not getting the resources they need and they are not defending veterans from lawfare. On this latter and vital point, this is led and encouraged by the UK’s own Attorney General as chief back-stabber.
For this, Hermer should be the next to go. And by the way, don’t expect much from the Starmer-loyalist, ex-Para Jarvis….not every Politician has the guts to do what Carns and Healey have just done…
🚨 BREAKING: Counter Terrorism Police are now leading the investigation into a stabbing at Co-Op Academy in Manchester
A schoolgirl was arrested after three people were stabbed on Tuesday
Since Blair - 30 years ago - people voted against mass immigration.
Every election, they got up, got dressed, found a pilling station and voted to end mass immigration.
30 years they did that.
Nothing changed. In fact, it got worse.
So they organised marches and protests, and events and petitions and wrote to their MPs and tried every single thing they could legally, to tell the powers that be, that they wanted an end to mass immigration.
The state has deliberately ignored and removed all legal options from the British and Irish people to legally, peacefully, have their demands answered.
THEY, and nobody else, have created and caused division and riots and fury.
The toothpaste can not go back in the tube. We are where we are because, and only because, of 30 years of failed government.
Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.
Listening to MPs in the House of Commons calling for ‘community cohesion’…they don’t care about ‘community cohesion’ when they import dangerous lunatics from third world terrorist hellholes and plonk them in the middle of our housing estates, do they?
