A social media influencer walked into a small-town grocery store and reacted as if she'd stumbled upon a crime scene.
Her disgust went viral for being completely out of touch with reality.
But the best part? The follow-up video of two guys perfectly imitating the experience right down to the facial expressions.

Future historians are going to be puzzled about how Britain, in the face of terminal decline - economy decaying, infrastructure crumbling - had a political & media class who spent its time on talking bins and trivial nonsense, all while utterly ignoring the impending crisis
This is of course more garbage from Gary @garyseconomics... 🙄
If he means the Covid support, that was about £380bn and was mainly spent on protecting jobs, small businesses - and healthcare!
If (as I suspect) he means QE, which started much sooner, this was about £895bn and involved the *purchase of assets* (mainly gilts). It was not simply giving money anyway, to anybody. It is also now being reversed through QT.
This is incredibly basic stuff that an ex-City trader should understand.
Now today's out the way I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more about how:
- Labour's first two Budgets increased taxes on British workers by £36 billion and £26 billion respectively, pushing the tax burden to an historic high of 38.3% of GDP
- The OBR forecasts 240,000 more people will be unemployed in 2026 than it previously projected - it said this is largely attributable to Labour's employment policies
- The UK unemployment rate was 4.9% as of early 2026, up from 4.6% a year earlier, an increase of 124,000
- Total UK welfare spending this year is estimated at £333.7 billion - up from £315 billion
- The UK is spending £301 million per day just to service its debt interest on Labour borrowing
- Labour promised 1.5 million new homes this parliament. Between 9 July 2024 and 15 March 2026, it had build just 342,100, way off target
- More than 1 million young people aged 16-24 were not in education, employment or training in the first quarter of this year - up 89,000
- The NHS waiting list stands at 7.22 million cases
- When Labour took office in July 2024, just 58.8% of patients were treated within 18 weeks. The target is 92%. By March 2026 it had only reached 65.3%
- Around 100,000 patients are waiting over a year for NHS treatment
- Over the past year, approximately 1.56 million people waited more than 4 hours in A&E - a huge breach of the target
- The outstanding caseload in the Crown Court stands at around 80,200 - the highest level recorded since 2016 and more than double the pre-Covid caseload
- A quarter of all Crown Court cases have been open for more than a year
- There are currently 14,749 sexual offences cases waiting to go to the Crown Court - a 75% increase
- There were approximately 530,640 shoplifting offences recorded in England and Wales over the past year - the highest in the entire time series on record
- There were 41,000 small boat arrivals in 2025
- Of all people who have arrived by small boat since 2018, only around 7,500 (4%) had been returned from the UK by the end of 2025
- Last year the Home Office spent £4 billion on asylum support. This includes £2.1 billion on hotel accommodation alone - around £6 million per day
🚨ohhhh FFS ?…just 12 illegal migrant Cameroonians claimed asylum & then successfully applied for 180 FAMILY MEMBERS to join them
And 257 Ghanaian health workers brought 2,131 "dependants" to the UK in the same 12 months.
It doesn’t matter what you vote for. Can you see?
The Government has confirmed that the minutes of the ‘independent’ Digital ID advisory group will not be published.
It also refused to answer parliamentary questions about the group’s budget and how its members were selected.
This group is supposed to provide independent scrutiny of a digital identity system that will affect every adult in Britain. Yet the public won’t be able to see its work, and MPs can’t get basic answers about its operation or cost.
So er … we can’t scrutinise the scrutiny.

It's déjà vu all over again. 🧵
I spent quite a lot of time in late 2024 / early 2025 trying to find alternate sources of milk and dairy products after Arla ran their little trial with Morrisons, Aldi and Tesco adding an unnecessary chemical (Bovaer) to dairy cattle feed to prevent the world from *checks notes* burning up in a cow burp driven methane inferno.
And here we are again with folic acid in flour. From December 2026 by order of the Unelected Globalist Bureaucrats and their Westminster puppets, most non-wholemeal flour sold in the UK must have folic acid added to it to reduce the risk of women giving birth to babies with spina bifida.
The more observant amongst you will have noticed that men are not going to give birth to babies, with or without spina bifida, nor are children or women beyond child-bearing age. Not only that, but folic acid (which is a synthetic version of folate, a vitamin which occurs naturally in some foods) is known to be harmful to people in a number of different categories: people with heart stents; people with kidney or liver disease; people who are vitamin B12 deficient, people with cancer; and there is also evidence that it doubles risk of prostate cancer for men.
It's hard to know how to fight against this kind of top-downism but I came to the conclusion during the Bovaer fight (which is by no means won, by the way) that the best approach is twofold:
1. Don't feed the globalist beast. Stop spending money with the companies which support this kind of thing, and call then out for it.
2. Instead, spend your money with smaller, local companies.
Government isn't listening to us, big companies aren't listening to us, so using the money in our pockets to try to influence things is really the only avenue open to us.
With folic acid, the rules on supplementation exclude small mills which produce relatively small volumes of flour. They are still allowed to sell unfortified products to the public.
This webpage by the Real Bread Campaign, highlights small local mills and producers of additive-free bread and flour. Obviously these are small independent businesses or sole traders so you are unlikely to find their products in supermarkets but the map should help you find a vendor near you who you could visit, and local farm shops and farmers' markets may stock their products.

There are some mills which sell unfortified flour direct to the public online - I'll add a couple I know of into the comments. Postage costs mean this isn't a cheap option but you could club together with friends / family / neighbours to order in bulk and reduce the impact of the postage.
Feel free to add any mills you know of or use in the comments. Let's Make Flour Great Again!

Folic acid to be added into UK food supply. Folic acid more than doubles risk of prostate cancer. The NIH warns cancer patients to steer clear of folic acid. Any of this making sense?
Man who did not stand on the manifesto that is now in place, will not be voted for by anyone as PM, lays out a new plan that not a single person in this country has had opportunity to view and vote on.
Democracy is a farce.
The SNP's newest recruit Lara Bird set tongues wagging almost as much as her head as she was sworn into parliament this week & she has plenty to say about it! #parody
"This debate shows why Parliament is not working. Poor analysis let off the hook by poor scrutiny."
And a "mumbo jumbo" impact assessment
This is what happens when you fill Whitehall and Westminster with people who have no background in science. If your degree is in PPE (@Ed_Miliband) or history etc you're not going to be able to analyses this, see it for the nonsense it is, and ask the right questions about it
We see a Parliament full of scientifically illiterate people signing off on plans that risk energy and national security and are destroying the economy
Because they believe the fiction that renewables are cheap. And have no idea they are breaking the grid
On the spiteful nature of Labour’s education policy, let’s revisit the single decision Bridget Philipson made that has been most revealing, as well as frustrating.
Eton and Star Academies wanted to open a great new free school in Middlesbrough to help more talented young people access the best universities - a noble endeavour backed by funding from Eton as well as a commitment to share their passion and expertise.
The last Conservative government said yes in 2023 under @GillianKeegan, in a victory for local children and parents and for a great campaign led by independent Mayor Andy Preston @centre_right_ and Conservative Councillor @MiekaSmiles.
But astonishingly, Labour locally campaigned against it. Andy McDonald MP raged against Eton as a "hallmark of stifling elitism”.
What did Bridget Philipson do when she became Education Secretary? She killed the project. Prejudice trumped social mobility.
