You want to know what's worse than incompetence? Knowing the truth and burying it anyway.

They knew. That's the bit nobody is saying. They knew.

Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.

Hampshire Police had that tape.

They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.

Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.

Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.

Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.

This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.

That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.

Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.

As the part owner of a manufacturing SME in The Midlands, I recognise the struggle @RupertLowe10 describes here

He doesn’t mention some of the bullshit we have to cope with, like ONS surveys and out of control energy suppliers, but is a strong list

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Starting and running a business in Britain in 2026 - let’s go through it, step by step…

You've got a good idea. You've worked hard, saved some money, and decided to take a risk. A big decision. Let's say you want to open a coffee shop - nothing overly extravagant. Surely this is possible, right?

Available unit on a local high street, you see a gap in the market.

A simple ambition to build something. Create jobs. Generate wealth. Contribute to your local community. Maybe even build a better future for your family.

Exactly the sort of person politicians claim they admire.

Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong country to do it in.

Britain. 2026. Labour. Bugger.

The first thing you discover is that absolutely nothing is straightforward.

You register the business. Not impossible, but hardly simple. The foreign vape shop owners manage it, so why not you? Done. In fairness, not the most challenging part of this story...

Then comes the bank account - you’d think opening a business account would be a routine matter.

Instead, you're treated like a criminal. You want to sell coffee, not arms. The banks are simply out of control in this country. Just like the lawyers, but that’s a different story.

Legitimate entrepreneurs should not be waiting weeks while faceless compliance departments shuffle paperwork between themselves and refuse to answer questions - slash it all back and let people just get on with it.

Eventually you get through that hurdle and secure the premises.

Perfect location. Lots of footfall. Not a total dump. It can work.

Then reality arrives.

The rent is eye-watering - contracts have clause after clause after clause. How can anybody understand it all?

Insurance is through the roof. And before you've served a single coffee, the local authority is already getting its grubby hands on your money. Energy costs are so very painful...

Business rates - one of the most destructive taxes in Britain. And for what? What do we get from that money?

You are effectively punished for occupying premises and creating economic activity. For PAYING TAX. It is insane. A Restore Britain Government would abolish business rates entirely for small high street businesses. Pubs, cafes, bakeries. All of it. No business rates.

Then come the inspections. Oh joy. The paperwork. The bureaucracy. The council gnomes.

Nobody objects to basic standards. Of course cafes should be clean and safe.

The problem is that too much of the system now exists to justify the existence of regulators rather than help businesses succeed. They are there to prove that their job needs to exist. So rules get put on rules, on top of more rules. It is endless.

Many of the people enforcing these rules have never built a business, never employed anybody and never risked their own money. Never done anything. Work half weeks, with 30+ days holiday a year. Fridays at home, of course.

A profession filled with nit-picking gits.

Restore Britain would conduct a full bonfire of unnecessary regulations and introduce a simple principle. Every regulation should have to justify its existence - if it doesn't prevent genuine harm, it goes. It will be glorious. We will tear it all down.

But let’s say you get through this. You stumble on. The cafe opens, and goes well. People like it. It grows. The coffee is good. You need help. Another bureaucratic nightmare.

PAYE. National Insurance. Pensions. Employment contracts. Holiday entitlement. Workplace policies. Health and safety obligations.

The worst of all - HR.

You look at it all, and just think what’s the point? Is it worth the risk? That is a disaster for our economy, and a disaster for youngsters looking for work.

Restore Britain would slash back employer National Insurance, simplify employment law for small firms and create a framework that protects good employees without treating every employer as a potential criminal.

The HR-ification of Britain will end. If I had to pick a 'profession' I hate the most, HR has to be number one.

Employers will be able to sack employees for not doing the job properly.

It doesn’t matter if they’re black, gay, Muslim or whatever else. This ‘protected characteristic’ nonsense will be stripped away. The only protected characteristic we’re interested in is competence.

We will repeal The Equality Act 2010. This is key. This is where so much of the bullshit emanates from.

But let’s say you don’t want to bother. Maybe bringing in contracting services could work. Wrong.

IR35 - one of the most economically illiterate policies ever introduced by thick idiots in the civil service who have never created a job in their lives.

Restore Britain would scrap IR35 entirely - if two consenting adults wish to enter a genuine contracting arrangement, the state should keep its nose out. Who does what, when and for who is between those two individuals. IR35 is the first thing to go. Burn it and bury it.

But we do want apprenticeships. This is the way forward, and we would give companies tax breaks for developing and building local skills for young men and women. Crucial. I’ve been running an apprenticeship campaign in Great Yarmouth - looking to link local businesses with colleges. Progress made, but lots more to do.

As your business grows, your accountant becomes indispensable. Not because your accounting is particularly complicated or he’s a good bloke, but because the tax system has become absurdly complex. I used to do my own returns. No chance now.

Restore Britain would begin simplifying the tax code from top to bottom.

Tax should be low, simple and transparent. That’s what Restore Britain stands for.

Then comes one of the most notorious barriers in British business.

The VAT threshold.

You finally start making progress, and your turnover approaches the threshold.

Looks good on the face of it, but it’s actually horrific news - cross the line and suddenly everything changes. VAT is applied. What are you supposed to do? Pass the cost on to customers? What are they going to do when the cost of their morning order shoots up? Many firms deliberately limit growth because crossing the threshold creates such a financial shock. That is insanity.

Restore Britain would double the VAT threshold.

Growth should be rewarded, and we would do exactly that.

Somehow, you’re limping on and decide an expansion is needed - maybe a covered outdoor area let’s say. Add more seating. People like to eat outside. Surely this is straightforward?

Planning. The worst people on the planet, whose sole aim is to destroy economic ambition, growth and hope. I detest them all so very much.

Restore Britain would overhaul the system with a presumption in favour of economic development. If planners cannot make a decision within a fixed timeframe, approval should be automatic. We will not keep businesses waiting for months and months. It is simply unacceptable and unfair.

Same for licences to stay open later, host music, even god forbid serve alcohol - the bureaucrat’s nightmare. We wouldn’t want people enjoying themselves, would we?

Restore Britain would introduce another presumption backing small business activity unless there is a compelling reason to refuse it. If customers want to enjoy a drink later on with their friends, let’s make it happen - the burden should be on the regulator to justify their restrictions, not on the entrepreneur to justify growth. Again, let’s give them a time frame to object. If they can’t, it goes through. Job done.

That is what Restore Britain will deliver.

Then there are card payments. Every coffee, sandwich, bottle of water. People just are not using cash. So a small slice disappears off everything, but that turns into thousands. Restore Britain would review payment processing fees and increase competition in the sector.

We must reduce the cost of doing business. This is vital.

We come to HMRC. I hate these people so much. It’s far quicker for a benefits claimant to get hold of the DWP than it is for small business owners to speak to HMRC.

How mad is that?

Restore Britain would introduce meaningful accountability when HMRC gets things wrong, or simply doesn’t pick up the phone. Let’s link senior leadership pay to response times. That will get them jumping.

When you pay the tax, and sign it all off? The anger I feel when I think about where that money goes is not a positive experience. Funding hotel fry ups for Afghan men who have broken into our country. Restore Britain would indiscriminately deport the illegals, as you know, but this is a post about starting a business…

Back to HMRC. They whack me with tax inspection after tax inspection. I wonder why…

Awful people. If I ever get a sniff of power, I will tear that place apart limb by limb.

Then comes the final insult. The salt in the wound. The knife in the back.

You want to pay yourself. You've worked sixteen-hour days, seven days a week. You've risked everything.

You've missed weekends, holidays and family events.

You have carried all the risk.

The wife or husband is constantly pissed off because the phone doesn’t stop ringing.

Now perhaps you'd like some reward. Let’s look at what’s left...

Corporation tax takes a slice. Dividend tax takes another. Student loan repayments take more. National Insurance takes more. Income tax takes more. What’s left?

By the end of it, government has its sticky fingers in your pocket at every stage.

Restore Britain would establish the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe.

We would increase dividend allowances. Slash NI. Cut back income tax. Scrap interest on student loans.

In short - reward your hard work.

Entrepreneurs all over Britain are asking this question...

Why not take a comfortable public sector job, collect the salary, enjoy the pension, work from home, avoid the stress and leave somebody else to create the wealth? Why bother? What's the point?

If enough ambitious people think that, the economy stops functioning. We become even more reliant on the fat, bloated, squid like state.

Politicians in Westminster DO NOT understand what they are doing to businesses in Britain.

I listen to them talk about business and my ears bleed - you do not understand just how thick some of these people are. However bad you imagine, double it. You’re half way there.

It is time for a different sort of politics, a different type of politician.

Restore Britain will make Britain the easiest country in Europe to start, grow and succeed with your own business.

To our cafe owner, wondering if all the endless bullshit is worth it? My message is this…

Keep going. It will get better. Britain needs you.

There is good news - there is finally a political party on your side.

Restore Britain.

Flashback: This is Great Britain, not Gaza.

In Brighton, Sussex Police turned the city centre into a no-go zone for anyone who refused to support Gaza.

They stopped cars and demanded visible proof of loyalty to Palestine (jihad flags, keffiyehs or pro-Hamas signs) before allowing people through.

Those who didn’t comply were blocked from entering the city centre, where the Muslim population held another protest against Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

British police protected jihadist crowds openly celebrating the rape and murder of infidels as part of “globalized intifada,” while treating law-abiding citizens who simply refused to endorse Islam, jihad and Palestine as the problem.

The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images

Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph reveal the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people

The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".

In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.

That was the only way that "nature" could win.

However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.

The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.

The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear

This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.

Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"

Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.

The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.

Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.

Me on @GBNews:

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

Michael, thank you. The Tavistock parallel is exactly right. The same mechanism operated in both cases. An ideologically captured institution substituted political objectives for clinical judgment. At the Tavistock it was gender ideology overriding the evidence base on puberty blockers and the long term consequences for children. At Nottingham it was race ideology overriding the evidence base on sectioning and the long term consequences for Calocane's victims. The Cass Review documented what happened at the Tavistock. The Nottingham Inquiry is documenting what happened to Calocane. In both cases the ideology was protected for years by the labelling apparatus. Anyone who questioned it was branded transphobic or racist. The children and the victims paid the price.

Your closing observation is the most important. The same ideology turned the police into a hazardous force. It turned the NHS into a hazardous institution. It turned the Tavistock into a hazardous clinic. Different institutions. Different victims. The same cause. The same silence. The same labelling apparatus protecting it.

"40,000 Islamists on terror watch lists? What's wrong with that?"

Tommy Robinson was minding his own business recently when a school teacher called him a "racist c*nt". Not the shy and retiring type, Tommy took the opportunity to vigorously debate the teacher and reveal her worldview.

And what a terrifying worldview it is.

She doesn't care if her entire classroom is replaced with Muslims. She thinks there's nothing wrong with 40,000 Muslims being on terror watch lists. She thinks that Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs are only apprehended because they're being unfairly targeted by the racist police. She says she just cares about minority groups.

These positions may seem insane, but they're held by the vast majority of our left-wing establishment. These are the people indoctrinating our children.

Also, her boyfriend has got skinny arms.

[🤍𝕁𝕆🤍 @jomickane]

This gets worse by the day 🤬. We know that after Henry was stabbed Digwa recorded him for 5 minutes, he waited for his family to arrive, then the 12min 999 call, then 3 mins of bodycam footage..... it says here Henry died just 1 hour later 🤔. It also says theres 45 mins of bodycam footage 🤔 so why have we only seen 3mins?. Also that must mean Henry was alive for around 1hr 20/30 mins 🤬. How long was it before the ambulance arrived?

[Sedd @SeddSezz]

David Lammy outdoes himself…

He’s now said racial equality “doesn't mean treating everyone the same.”

Is this because he wants to treat white folk as second class citizens in the name of racial equality?

This man is a dangerous idiot who damages our reputation on the world stage and desecrates the office of Deputy PM.

[Right over Left Everytime @RightSide_Uk]

Abdul Gaffer, 32, a Pakistani lawyer, attempted to sexually abuse a 15-year-old British girl.
He sent her £300 to travel from Scotland to London.
When confronted, he claimed: “Police know about us. I already informed them about our relationship.”
British patriots caught him. The police apparently already knew.
This is the grooming gang mentality in action — and the authorities protecting it.
Another foreign predator targeting our children while the system looks the other way.
Deport him. Prosecute him. And investigate the police who knew.

THE DOSSIER #2: Andrew Western MP – The Fabricator Exposed

Andrew Western MP,

Born 1985 into Labour royalty. Mother a councillor. Father a union boss. Joined the party at seventeen. Fabian Society member. UNISON member. The network wrote your script before you learned to speak.

Never had a real job outside the machine. Project management in engineering? A brief interlude between council meetings. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority groomed you. The Fabian Society polished you. The trajectory was set before you could vote.

Trafford Council Leader. Protector of leisure centres while you voted to close pensioners' winter fuel payments. Champion of green spaces while you concreted over the planning system. YIMBY? Yes. In. My. Back. Yard. Your yard. Not yours. Everyone else's.

You chased Tommy Robinson out of Trafford. You called Trump far right. You called Johnson far right. You call everyone who disagrees with you far right. While you preside over a department that monitors the bank accounts of the poorest people in Britain. While you fabricate attacks on your own home.

The sledgehammer. Remember that? You claimed a violent attack on your home. Police investigated and found a fallen sign. You are the man who sees fascists everywhere except in the mirror. The man who cries wolf while the real wolves roam free.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary at DWP. Fraud, Error and Debt? You know all three. Fraudulent victimhood. Error of judgement. Debt to the Fabian donors who put you there.

Ninety-eight percent Labour line. The machine protects its own. The machine promotes its own. The machine will discard you when you are used up.

Keep monitoring those bank accounts, Andrew. Keep chasing shadows. The public sees the man who cried sledgehammer when a sign fell down.

Your seat is safe. Permanent exile awaits. Congratulations. You are The Dossier. Your betrayal of Britain is now complete.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Protests in Southampton tonight. Do NOT give the state ANY excuse to throw you in prison. Because they will use anything.

I know people are angry. I am angry. But do not throw your life away doing something you will later regret.

The police need to treat protestors fairly, and any unacceptable behaviour by any officers must be recorded and called out.

But I will say this again.

Do not get violent.

That is not how we win.

We win at the ballot box, peacefully and democratically.

We win by electing Restore Britain across our country.

It's the only way.
