So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.
£10bn for Ukraine - while British patients wait a year+ for NHS treatment, roads resemble the surface of the Moon and pensioners choose between heating and eating.
Standing with Ukraine is one thing. Standing on the British public while you do it is another. Priorities, Ed.
France before and after is a warning. The chaos, looting, and destruction we’re watching is exactly the future radical Democrats are pushing for America.
Is this the future you want?
If you're in Scotland and want to be part of a genuine patriotic movement that will deport the illegals/freeloaders across your nation, roll back failed devolution and generally get the rotten state out of your lives?
Then support Restore Britain.
We're not going to abandon Scottish patriots to the SNP.
We will fight to give you a real alternative at the ballot box.
We are now bigger than Scottish Labour in membership.
Bigger than the Tories, bigger than the Greens.
We're about to overtake Reform.
If you want to be part of something special, in a very special nation, then join Restore Britain.
Take back Scotland.

@dave24144975 Spot on, a lot of the left are the older generation that let the country get into this mess but want to live out the rest if their days taking the moral high ground feeling lovely about themselves.
They have no stake in the future.
An elderly woman with little future left, holding a sign. "Refugees Welcome Here"
A young Restore Britain canvasser on the same doorstep, with decades still ahead of him, trying to secure the kind of country she grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s for himself and his people.
She grew up in the Britain people want back then; brands the lad on the step "far right" for wanting it too.

Over 1,200 illegal migrants crossed the Channel since Monday.
Multiple boats even arrived undetected. It's insane!
Labour have totally lost control of our borders.
Reform will put the Royal Navy in the Channel and return every illegal to France.
@JamesMelville It has been allowed to travel so far in the wrong direction that they will never give back control, more and more state control ushered in the back door.
Policies shaped by globalists and NGO’s with no accountability etc, grim.
Who voted for any of it…….
Rather than giving young British men and women an opportunity to get into work, our establishment has imported millions of workers from India and the third world to fill those roles.
Restaurants, coffee shops, security guards, retail workers.
It is endless.
The standard of English is awful, skills non-existent and respect for our way of life is entirely lacking.
Why have we welcomed these people into our country? Why are we doing this?
Imported grown Indian men waiting tables, rather than British teenagers. Dependents claiming benefits, filling NHS waiting lists, taking school places. What have we achieved by enabling this?
And this is not happening illegally across the channel.
It’s happening in Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted. It’s legal immigration. It has been approved.
We get told demographic replacement is some far-right conspiracy theory.
My response? Go to any British city and look around.
This vast importation of low-skilled labour from the third world must end when we have healthy and able Brits claiming benefits in such outrageous numbers.
The crisis is so much worse than the Government will ever admit - I just do not believe the official numbers. From both legal and illegal immigration.
Enough. Enough is enough. I am so sick of it all.
A Restore Britain Government will ensure that an astonishing number of foreign nationals leave our country.
How anyone can look at that and not see it for what it is? The logical question is how many can your country take before you no longer have a country? For the love of god, wake up. There is NO END in sight. Your history, your culture, your laws, your freedom - all of it is going to be sacrificed on the altar of “globalism”. It is exhausting trying to get people to see the truth that is right in front of their very eyes.
Just one of the many truth bombs from @POTUS speech at the #UN.
"It is deeply ironic that the United Nations has an entire institution, the UNESCO group of people and countries, devoted to protecting cultural heritage — yet, with their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in history. There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.”

Britain is facing its greatest threat since World War II. The decline and decay is happening everywhere.
The greatest threat since 1945 is not tanks or bombs. It is the quiet, accelerating decay of a country that has forgotten how to build, how to grow, how to maintain, how to be secure and how to tell the truth about itself.
Streets dirtier. Services slower.
Ambition punished. Borders treated as optional. Energy policy that treats abundance as a sin. A political class that cycles through leaders with no vision while the foundations keep crumbling.
A nation that once stood alone now struggles to stand at all. That is the real emergency.
And it’s not just Britain. The decline is happening right across the West.
I see the media are making a big song and dance of one arrest at the Portsmouth illegal migrant protest.
How many were arrested at Notting Hill carnival?
636.
No need for any further comment.
Just so we're clear...
We've had years and years of Islamist thugs roaming our streets masked up, Muslim women in burqas and left wing mobs hiding their identities.
That's acceptable. A few words of mild concern, but generally nobody cared.
But now is when the establishment acts?
After just ONE protest of concerned patriots who were looking to highlight the invasion of our country.
One protest from them, and the entire political establishment jumps into action.
Where was that passion before?
Labour, Reform, Tories. The police, the media.
Now is when they all passionately agree that face coverings are unacceptable and must be banned?
Our establishment is rotten to the core and must be replaced.
