@JoelWBerry@AuronMacintyre@JoelWBerry There has been inadequate consideration of the actual premise of the war. It was not started to end slavery, that was added as an attempt to improve support for the war.
The BBC has just released a statement about their outrageous decision to exclude Restore Britain from yesterday’s Makerfield Question Time - explaining they consider ‘panel selection carefully’ and they ‘recognise the multi-party nature of UK politics’.
This is the most blatant example of BBC bias I have ever witnessed - it is scandalous.
They had the irrelevant Lib Dems and Tories, along with the Greens. We will outpoll all of them combined, easily.
Ask yourself. Why is the rotten establishment so desperate to censor Restore Britain?
Here is why.
Restore Britain’s policy platform is robust and unapologetic.
We will do what needs to be done.
- The largest deportation programme ever seen in Britain to remove those migrants living in our country illegally. The entire asylum system will be abolished. The boats will stop.
- Net negative immigration. Far more must leave than arrive.
- If a foreign national can’t speak English, lives in social housing, claims benefits, doesn’t work, hates our way of life - they go too. If millions go, millions go.
- Close entire visa routes from countries proven to supply us with illegals, criminals and sex pests. The immigration ‘Red List’. We will discriminate.
- Fairer spouse visas - so that British men and women can bring their spouses to Britain without the endless bureaucracy and cost currently inflicted on them.
- An overhaul of British agriculture that puts growing and farming at the heart of any policy for rural Britain. Food security is national security. Slash red tape, simplify payments, ease planning laws, encourage farm diversification and more. Crucially, help youngsters into agriculture. We will ensure a level playing field for British farmers.
- Restore Britain will force the British public sector will buy British - it will support British farmers, producers and small businesses.
- We will encourage and fund youngsters to take up apprenticeships and learn a proper skill instead of some nonsense university degree. Teach children at school the life skills they will actually need in modern Britain.
- An education system that teaches, respects and celebrates British history and the triumphant contribution our little island has made to the world.
- Businesses freed from crushing regulation, red tape and tax. Reward hard work. Let entrepreneurs enjoy their success.
- Lowest corporation tax in Europe. IR35 scrapped. VAT threshold doubled. HMRC brutally slashed back. Dividend thresholds raised.
- High streets restored. Safe, secure and welcoming. Business rates for small businesses abolished. Turkish barbers, vape shops and other suspicious businesses investigated. Graffiti cleaned, litter picked. Pavements fixed. We will make Britain clean again, and we will take pride in our communities again.
- We will implement free parking in select areas to drive back footfall from the retail parks and back into our town centres. Councils will be forced to accept common sense.
- Fly-tippers will be crushed under the law. It will not be tolerated. Foreigners indulging in the destruction of our countryside will be deported.
- Personal tax slashed. Trust families to spend their money, not the bureaucrats.
- Put pro-family policy at the heart of everything we do. If British families want to have more children, let’s use the power of the state to enable that. Make childcare more accessible and more affordable.
- Reform family courts - so that good, decent fathers, and mothers, are not kept away from their children for malicious reasons. This is important.
- Trust parents to make the best decisions for their families. A limited number of days for a term-time holiday for well-developed children. This is just common sense.
- Restore Britain will make Britain safe again. No-nonsense policing that does what it needs to do. Widespread stop and search back - accusations of racism will stop nothing. Brutal sentences for carrying a knife. Foreign criminals deported, third world sex pests removed before their feet can touch the ground.
- Welfare radically slashed back. Those who can work, will work. Litter picking, graffiti cleaning, whatever else. Don’t like it? No benefits. That simple.
- Support those Brits who genuinely need the help, particularly children, but under a Restore Britain Government the piss-take will end.
- A foreign policy that puts the British interest above all else - proudly and unapologetically. We won’t participate in never-ending foreign wars. We will act when, and only when, the British interest is served.
- Rebuild and rearm Britain. We will have a big stick, and we will wave it when we want.
- A comprehensive support system for British veterans - including fast tracked recruitment into immigration enforcement field roles.
- Arbitrary foreign aid targets that serve no British interests, gone.
- Restore Britain will reverse the creeping islamification of Britain - no burqas, sharia courts, halal slaughter and so on. Cousin marriage will be banned. If you want to sleep with your family, this is not the country for you. This is Britain, we do things our way.
- Exemptions for barbaric religious practices will be removed. Gladly.
- Anti-white racism, eradicated. No more DEI. The Equality Act repealed, along with the various iterations of the Race Relations Act.
- Self-defence rights restored. If an intruder tries to kill you in your home, and they end up dead? So be it. That’s their problem. Pepper spray legalised.
- End the war on motorists. Cut fuel duty, no more 20mph zones. Motorway speed limit raised to 80mph. Sort out our decaying road network.
- Biological reality respected. Men are men. Women are women. No amount of surgery will ever change that. That filth will be kept away from children.
- Inheritance tax abolished - for farms, for small businesses, for everyone. The scam will end. Death will no longer be taxed under a Restore Britain Government.
- An infrastructure first housing policy. Developers forced to fund proper infrastructure before a shovel goes in the ground. British homes for British families.
- A Government that prioritises building roads, bridges and projects HERE in Britain. Can you even imagine it?!
- We will purse a British first energy strategy. Net zero will be scrapped. Domestic energy production will be ruthlessly prioritised. Nuclear, oil/gas, fracking. We will make it happen.
- End the lockdown legacy. Inquiry into COVID vaccine harms, lockdown convictions quashed, a truly independent look at how that was all allowed to happen.
- No Digital ID, ever. Repeal the Online Safety Act. Protect free speech.
- Defund the rotten BBC. Make it a subscription service and let it wither on the vine.
- A binding referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty for the most evil criminals. One of my favourites.
- A national strategy, working from the findings of the rape gang inquiry, to ruthlessly tackle and decapitate the national crime network of primarily Pakistani muslim sexual slavery, torture and murder.
- Restore Britain will end political Islam. Abolish postal voting except for those in genuine need. Remove voting rights for foreign nationals.
- Foreign language translation ended, in the NHS and beyond. You live in England, you speak English.
- The NHS will be restored as the NATIONAL health service. Serving British people as its first and only priority. It will accept ultra-high skilled migrants to work, it will not support millions of low-skilled migrants who contribute nothing, yet take so much.
- Free car parking for NHS staff, patients and visitors on tight permits. We all pay for the NHS, we shouldn’t be ripped off for the sodding parking too. Especially medical staff.
- Medical school caps will be demolished. We will allow talented young British men and women to train in medicine - the NHS will then be forced to employ them over foreign staff. We will prioritise our own people.
- Reclaim our fisheries - take back our seas and take back our fish. We will take back control. Finally.
- The quangocracy will end. Power will be returned to the people through their MPs. Parliament will be empowered.
- Restore Britain will crush the parasitic state. It will all be hacked back in the most spectacular fashion. Unlike anything Britain has seen before.
I could go on.
This is a platform that millions and millions of British men and women are agreeing with.
The BBC does not want you to hear about it. So please, tell your friends/family. Get the message out there.
There is finally a political party with the balls to put you all first - to put the British people first.
Restore Britain.
Just in: @LindseyGrahamSC is planning to offer the SAVE America Act as an amendment to the funding bill for ICE / Border Patrol. Then, the Senate Parliamentarian will rule that it is 'out of order' and cannot be added. So, what will @LeaderJohnThune and @LindseyGrahamSC do then? Will they move to overrule the parliamentarian? that takes a SIMPLE majority vote...Will either of them do that? will the Senate GOP majority even TRY to fight the parliamentarian? We are watching, @LindseyGrahamSC and @LeaderJohnThune . Put your motions where your mouths are. Lead your caucus to actually PASS the SAVE America Act. @EIwatchdogs@BasedMikeLee@realDonaldTrump
I read that the baby aborted for having Down syndrome by the YouTuber and his wife yesterday was done so when she was half way through her pregnancy, so I am going to describe in graphic detail what aborting a second trimester baby looks like. Read on at your own discretion.
At 21 weeks the baby is a fully formed miniature human being roughly 10 to 11 inches long from crown to rump weighing about three quarters to one pound. His skin is thin and translucent but covered in fine lanugo hair. He has distinct fingerprints eyelids that can open and close and functioning senses. He can hear your voice and external sounds taste the amniotic fluid and respond to touch. His heart beats strongly. You could feel it if you pressed a hand to the mothers belly. Lungs are developing with practice breaths and he kicks stretches turns and sucks his thumb in the womb. Viability outside the womb is possible with intensive neonatal care in modern hospitals. Many 21 week preemies survive with medical intervention.
A typical 21 week abortion is performed via dilation and evacuation. The process begins by forcibly dilating the mothers cervix over hours or days using laminaria or medications which causes cramping and pain as the body is prepared to expel the child. Then under ultrasound guidance in many cases the abortionist inserts forceps through the birth canal into the uterus.
The baby often still alive and moving is grasped limb by limb. The abortionist twists and pulls tearing off arms and legs one at a time while the child recoils and struggles inside the womb. The smaller bones snap like twigs the joints dislocate with audible pops under the instruments. Blood and amniotic fluid mix as the torso is wrenched apart. The spine is crushed or snapped. Finally the skull is gripped collapsed with the forceps sometimes after being pierced and the brain suctioned out to make removal easier and the remains are extracted piece by piece. The abortionist then reassembles the body parts on a tray to ensure nothing hands feet torso fragments is left inside to cause infection. The mother’s uterus is scraped clean with a curette.
This is not a procedure on tissue. It is the deliberate piecemeal dismemberment of a baby who can feel pain. Fetal pain receptors and neural pathways are active by this stage who reacts defensively to the invasion and whose only crime is existing. The mother carrying this child in her body for nearly five months feeling his movements, knowing his sex, and seeing his ultrasounds chooses to have him torn apart inside her. And in this disgusting case of psychopathic narcissism “for his own good”. She schedules the appointment consents to the crushing and extraction, rests peacefully while her baby is tortured to death because he wasn’t perfect enough for her, and she walks away while the baby’s tiny mutilated body is discarded in a “medical waste” sink to be sent for incineration.
Many women later describe the visceral aftermath. The sudden cessation of kicks the hormonal crash the haunting knowledge that they authorized the destruction of their own baby’s body. It is an act of profound betrayal by the very person biologically wired to protect that life. If the image of a tiny writhing child being methodically ripped apart limb from limb by cold metal tools then sucked or scraped from its mother’s womb does not disgust you regarding the “woman’s choice”, then the propaganda worked on your weak, pathetic soul.
@AuronMacintyre No. This is an immoral take. There’s a large difference between drug traffickers and innocents fleeing. They should still not be permitted to get to the US, but there’s nothing requiring lethal action.
@martianwyrdlord It is fundamentally a question of honoring the image of God in all people, even the small, and even those who are diminished in certain ways.
The PCA (a denomination which I greatly respect and align closely with) released a report on Christian Nationalism today which I was looking forward to. Concerns driving the report about the various meanings and uses of the term Christian Nationalism are important and need to be thought through. I have never thought of myself as a Christian Nationalist, but the issues raised by how to pursue the social and political good of the city in which I dwell are close to the heart of anyone who works in moral and political theology. I am heartened to see that their high view of Scripture is foregrounded and that cruelty and contempt are condemned (among the documents other virtues). And yet in it I find the following line seen in the screenshot. Some thoughts:
1. It is transparently the case that you cannot have a common law that does not treat ethnic homogeneity (the common oneness of the nation) as a positive good. This is because to have generally applicable law at all (for example, the law that governs citizenship, as opposed to particular laws that govern only a subset of citizens who are shopkeepers, etc) you are immediately as an end treating the nation as a homogenous unit which shares a common good and you are also mediately (over time) indicating intent to form out of the many individual bodies one national people (the 'body politic'). This natural reality is why e pluribus unum is one of the mottos the USA often reaches for to explain itself to itself. The injunction to participate in politics for the good of your city which one finds in scripture underlines this. Romans 13 presumes we have a magistrate, etc. The plain reading of this line is that we cannot have nations.
2. Further I mean THE BIBLE "elevates ethnic... identity to a position of theological significance." To disagree would be to discount the entire point of the biblical nation of Israel as a people who were set apart in salvation history and God's special revelation to them which eventually led to his full revelation in Jesus Christ. And this special care for the ethne is not limited to Israel as was indicated in Isaiah 60 when it prophesies that the kings of the nations will lead the triumphal procession into the city of God in the end. And it is reiterated in the a prophesy in the same register in Revelation 21. We do all come from one blood, and are redeemed by one blood, but the filling and subduing of the earth was intended to be an expanding and en-nationing all over creation. These things can not be side-stepped. They also explain the missional nature of the church. We go out into the nations to preach the gospel! And (good news!) you don't have to stop being an American (or a Mexican or a Chinese, etc) when you come to Christ! Nationhood is not a sin, it is in fact part of God's plan from the dawn of time.
3. This also contradicts their own earlier affirmation that "In his providence, he has ordered humanity into distinct families, peoples, and nations, appointing their times and places, and shaping them through distinct histories, languages, and customs."
I get that they are concerned about rising racial hatred (which should be rejected) but they really need to be more precise if they are going to get this right. Uncharitable readers (this is the internet after all) will misread this as a defense of discrimination. It is not. Rather it is pointing out how logic works: the sweeping "or...or...or" structure creates problems unnecessarily.
If they get it wrong that won't be good for anyone in America. Perhaps they clarify later, I know this is only the first part.
It is also worth noting that the first We Affirm statement of the report explicitly says that the magistrate is ordained to restrain evil.
A syllogism:
P1: The role of the government is to restrain evil
P2: Religious liberty, permitting any false religion in the public square, is evil
C: The government ought to restrain false religion
It’s really not that difficult to see how the report contradicts itself.
Overwhelmingly, people view children as accessories to add to their lives when they desire rather than as gifts from God and indeed, the very purpose of the sexual union. Even among conservative Christians, this mindset is rampant.
We talk about kids like they're home improvement projects? "Are you guys ready for that, or are you going to keep waiting awhile?"
We talk about them as though they're Pokemon cards that you quit collecting one you have a complete set. "So now that you have a boy and a girl, are you done?"
We often look at large families with the same kind of disdain we have for hoarders. "That's so weird. Why do you need so many of those?"
Likewise, push away all the lamentations about wanting to save your unborn child from a lifetime of suffering and hardship through abortion, and you'll find the true mindset, where we respond to our children having disabilities the way we'd respond to a restaurant giving us the wrong food, something we simply refuse to eat.
"Waiter, I ordered a healthy baby. But you gave me this gross little deformed thing. Throw that away and give me what I actually ordered."
Not everyone will follow this mindset concerning children to such an evil degree. But if we wish to protect ourselves from it, we need to fundamentally change the way we think about children. Which is to say, we need to view parenthood vocationally rather than through a consumeristic lens.
Children are not trinkets. They are human beings, as human as you, and just as worthy of love and honor as you. Likewise, parenthood is not a lifestyle, a hobby, or an era. It's a vocation.
If a child is growing in your womb, God has already given you the vocation of mother. And a mother's vocation is always to protect and love her child, never to kill her child. If your child is growing in a woman's womb, God has already given you the vocation of father. And a father's vocation is always to protect his child, never to kill his child.
If God gives you that vocation when you're poor, fulfill it faithfully and trust that He will give you your daily bread. If God gives you that vocation when you don't feel ready for it, get over yourself and fulfill it faithfully. If God gives you that vocation by giving you a child who seems too difficult to care for, trust that He will also give you the strength to endure the task, and fulfill it faithfully.
May God save our souls and purify our hearts by changing our minds.
We have been warning the public on New World Screwworm for over a year now (some much longer than us)
We even had our account on X suspended for a month when we showed a picture of what an infection looks like in a human, shortly before there was a human case confirmed in the US last August
The Secretary of Agriculture continued to assure the public that the Screwworm situation was “under control” and continued to ignore concerns and requests from producers and elected officials from her home state of Texas
This is not something to no longer downplay or brush off
The Agricultural industry is already entering into hellish conditions this summer because of drought and rising fuel and input prices, compounded now with an outbreak of flesh eating maggots
We need serious and dedicated leadership on this
We need a whole of government approach
We need states next to Texas and Mexico to be able access the resources and funding to combat this pest as they will be caught completely off guard when it reaches their states
We have asked before months ago but are asking again for President Trump to declare a National Emergency Declaration TODAY!
Thank you for your attention to this matter
SINGLE WOMEN SHOULD BE FRUITFUL
The question is *how* they should be fruitful.
The below clip from @Ligonier warns single women against idolizing marriage, and encourages them not to simply wait for it, but rather to go be fruitful with other things in the meantime. This fruitfulness is then exemplified in three categories: career, church, and family. In that order.
The reactionary feeding frenzy in the comments seems to miss the obvious point – that we are talking about what women are supposed to do until they get married, not recommending that they don’t get married. The comments yell that young women should get married as if young women can just go to the local husband store and order up their favorite model in their price range.
Finding a godly spouse really can be difficult. Certainly, no one should think that single Christian women should literally sit around and do nothing until prince charming shows up at the front door. It is good and right for them to find ways to be productive.
However. With great respect for Ligonier, I think the clip’s advice misses the mark pretty heavily.
1. Single women should absolutely bear fruit in the meantime. But we should encourage them to bear fruits of godly womanhood. Frontloading the importance of a degree and a career is a mistake. A degree and a career are calibrated to take the heart of a young woman who wants to be married and redirect it towards something else entirely.
This sort of advice encourages young women into debt, out of the protective care of their fathers, and into a worldview that is not easily compatible with a Titus 2 view of womanhood. Once a woman has her degree and her career, that’s a lot to give up to “just change diapers.”
Just look at the statistics for college educated women. Is this really what we want to encourage?
2. Rather than frontloading college and career, encouraging young women to be fruitful in the feminine arts – ministering to church community, to extended family, developing homemaking or home economic skills – this would be much better advice.
(This is completely compatible with continuing to *learn.* A woman can be very well educated without having a college degree and a career.)
Some young ladies may need to get a job, and that’s fine… But that’s very different than encouraging them to go start a career. If they can pour their feminine glory into the relational needs of their community, this is a much better form of fruitfulness for women, and will transfer much easier into being a helper suitable for a husband.
3. The warning against idolizing marriage is… A little weird. I guess theoretically it is possible to idolize marriage, if you have no joy without it and it is your all-consuming passion.
But that’s not the same thing as really wanting to get married. Actually, most people *should* to want to get married. Scripture literally tells younger widows to get married (1 Tim. 5:14) and builds its counsel to women around marriage and the family (Titus 2, 1 Tim. 2).
Pursuing marriage is not idolizing marriage.
Much better advice was given by RC Sproul himself: “Those seeking a life partner need to do certain obvious things such as going where other single people congregate. They need to be involved in activities that will bring them in close communication with other single Christians.” (Thanks to @jonharris1989 for this quote, go read the whole quote on his timeline.)
Our message to Christian single women should not be “this is a wonderful season, a gift, enjoy it, go start a career.”
It should be “Have godly advisors, remain in your father’s house, throw yourself into godly feminine fruitfulness, and find ways to get to know good single men. Follow the example of Ruth. You can actually pursue marriage.”
I do not want to see patriots thrown in prison because they've had a beer or two, got fired up and acted stupid in the heat of the moment.
The state will make an example of you - they will show no mercy. Your life will be ruined.
Do not attack the police. Be smart. Stay calm.
Hey @nikitabier how is it that you took my money for business premium 2 days ago, and this morning our main account gets suspended?
This is outright fraud and theft.
