Important distinction ignored by western governments

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

What Japan needs is more Japanese people.

Not more people in Japan.

There is a difference.

Children seeing nudity online? Unacceptable.

Men parading through British city centres in leather fetish gear during “Pride” pretending to be dogs? Teaching primary students about anal sex? Stunning and brave.

Got it 👍

🚨WARNING the bit Starmer isnt telling you is... this sort of device technology is called Client-Side Scanning.

It is already built into the Ofcom regulated Online Safety Act through “accredited technology” notices. The EU has been pushing similar rules through its Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, known as “Chat Control”.

It basically means phone companies and platforms can be pushed to scan messages, images and content BEFORE you send them, then either allowing them to be sent or blocking/reporting them.

Once the precedent is set, "to protect children", it can easily be widened to block whatever government decides is “harmful”.

And that's how you go from child safety to state approved speech.

TA DAAAA 🚨

LENNY HENRY HITS OUT AT RISE OF FAR RIGHT AS HE RETURNS TO STAND UP AFTER 15 YEARS

Sir Lenny Henry aged 67 has launched his first nationwide stand-up tour in more than 15 years with a new show called Still At Large that directly tackles racism and the rise of the far right.

The comedian told The Sunday Times the title reflects issues he discussed in the 1980s that remain relevant today saying the reason the show is called Still At Large is because things like racism the rise of the far right and the tumult we are in as a world at the moment are still at large.

Henry who grew up in Dudley during intense racial hostility in the West Midlands referenced historical events including the Smethwick election slogan and Enoch Powells rivers of blood speech as part of his personal experiences with racism.

The tour launched in May and will visit Glasgow Edinburgh Liverpool and Cardiff before ending at the Hackney Empire in London on 3 November.

Sir Lenny Henry ALSO called for the UK to pay £18 trillion in reparations for transatlantic slavery.

In his book, The Big Payback: The Case for Reparations for Slavery and How They Would Work (co-authored with Marcus Ryder), he argued that compensatory payments should go to Caribbean nations and all individual Black British citizens.

Thoughts?

For late games we simply pay £25 for a Temporary Events Notice. Takes 3 mins online. The likelihood of being turned down is very low, unless your premises is a hotbed of trouble or noise nuisance.

The Government will pretend they are doing something amazing for us pubs. They’re not.

This past week, on a test bed in Britain, a Rolls-Royce jet engine ran at full take-off power on pure hydrogen, putting out water vapour instead of carbon.

Nobody on Earth had managed it before. It is the sort of thing that ought to stop the country in its tracks, and it will be forgotten by the weekend.

Leave aside the recent paroxysms of renewed net-zero insanity from Derelict Ed and the pervasive atmosphere of offended envy that greets much homegrown achievement nowadays in Britain. This engineering is a wonder, and it's British to the bone.

We gave the world the jet engine in the first place - Frank Whittle, a Coventry man and an RAF officer, patented it in 1930 while the Air Ministry assured him it was a curiosity. Rolls-Royce is today one of perhaps three firms anywhere that can build a large aero engine at the outer edge of the possible, and it has just done what most of the industry swore was twenty years away.

As usual, you marvel at how little the people who govern us had to do with it. The engineers in Derby are world-class; the stewardship above them is third-rate. They pulled off a global first while paying the most expensive industrial electricity in the developed world to keep the power on over the bench - a weight no German, American or Gulf rival has to carry. We produce frontier brilliance on the shop floor and fritter it away at the despatch box, and we have done for two generations.

That is the maddening shape of modern Britain: brilliance from below, sub- (or, indeed, ultra-) mediocrity from above. The people here who actually make things are still among the best in the world; the state that is meant to back them treats a firm like Rolls-Royce as a photocall today and a takeover target tomorrow, and prices its energy as though it would prefer the next plant were built in Texas.

Progress starts from the other end. Give these people what every rival government gives its champions and we beg ours to do without: the cheap, abundant power their competitors already enjoy, a supply chain built around them, and a state that guards a national asset rather than auctioning it. The hard part of a British revival - the talent, the nerve, the engineering - is already done, and was done again this week, by people who deserve a far better country than the one currently sitting above them.

We just taught an engine to breathe fire and exhale water. The least we owe the men and women who managed it is a government and a state as brilliant as they are.

A strangely familiar tale

[Lozzy B 🇦🇺𝕏 @TruthFairy131]

16 year old Mernda Aussie teen Declan was hunted by a Sudanese youth gang then stabbed 56 times & he received 66 blunt force injuries.

One of Declan’s African killers was released because he was deemed too young to take responsibility for murder.

In 2025, the African killer took part in an aggravated home invasion in Gladstone Park, Melbourne that saw a 60-year-old man stabbed countless times, shot in the arm & bashed repeatedly with a hammer.

Labor DO NOT care about your safety. They are responsible for this violent crime crisis.

These imported barbaric crimes are happening daily now in Melbourne, many days we have multiple horrific incidents & most are committed by foreign criminals that are already on bail.

Nothing will change until Labor is gone. Like these violent criminals, Labor does not value our lives either.

It’s a very thin line it seems between ‘interfering in democracy’ and ‘making a social media comment’

[ShadowJ @shadowJ47]

This is Keir Starmer straight-up admitting he wanted to bury Henry Nowak’s death.
The PM is crying to the world that if it wasn’t for Elon Musk and X, nobody would’ve known a British kid bled out begging for help while cops protected the attacker.
He’s not mad about the killing — he’s mad the cover-up failed.
This is two-tier Britain in one pathetic rant: sacrifice native sons, then rage when the truth leaks.
Starmer and his regime would rather hide the blood than fix the open border disaster they created.
The mask is off.
Brits see who their government really serves.

I’m not saying China is deliberately pushing the West into these batshit net-zero leftist fantasies to gut their industry and make them totally dependent on Chinese manufacturing.

But if they were, what would they be doing differently?

[Rob @Rob1178]

This largely depends on who he means by ‘our people’ though doesn’t it

[The British Patriot @TheBritLad]

Keir Starmer: “My first duty, the duty above everything else, is to keep our people safe”

Reality:

• Blocked grooming gang inquiry
• Open borders for illegals
• Released criminals early
• Kneeled while cities burned
• Persecuted veterans

Safe for who exactly??

“D.E.I. DOESN’T EXIST IN THE UK!

POLICE DOCUMENTS NEVER MENTION D.E.I.!

IT’S A FAR-RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORY!”

Then why are police forces paying staff over half a million quid in wages for something that doesn’t exist?
