The number of British millionaires has dropped to its lowest level in nearly two decades as the property market slumps and high taxes under Labour drive rich people offshore

The EU has blocked a chat control skeptics talk on YouTube.

But here’s the thing, the content is in Finnish, and Finnish law allows for this exact thing.

So the EU is currently illegally blocking free press in Finland.

Went to a hospital in Chongqing today to get some tests the NHS is dragging their heels on.
- Arrived at 8:05am
- Booked a consultation with the GP
- Checked in via QR code
- Went in for a consultation with the GP at 8:15am
- Booked me in for the tests at 8:45am
- Tests completed and left the hospital at 9am

All for £45.

Meanwhile the NHS eats up nearly half my taxes, and has provided no treatment for an issue tested for and diagnosed in spring 2024. The Chinese GP thinks it may even be possible to buy medicine from China and get it shipped to the UK.

In the last financial year, the British Treasury raised £331bn in income tax.

In that same financial year, the British the state spent £333bn on welfare.

This means the state is spending more on those not working than it raises from those who are.

If you truly care about poverty it would be worth paying attention to this. Smaller state and free-market economics have reduced poverty in Argentina.

If you ignore this then you don’t care about poverty, so don’t pretend you do.

Nikita decided that he'd demonstrate he doesn't understand what he is doing on a daily basis.

It is relatively easy to get this metric trend higher by completely enslopifying the platform, which he's indeed very successful at doing.

The problem with that strategy, is that it works by spending the platform's reputation, a metric that does not appear on any dashboard.

When you run out of reputation, the curve collapses as everybody moves on on another platform, and there are virtually no ways to recover from this.

The metric to track is whether people find more of what they came on the plateform to find, not whether you are able to waste as much of their time as you can.

Again…

With all the fraud being exposed in Walz’s Minnesota…

The only Dem to vote to stop healthcare for illegals in Minnesota.

1 of 67.

Melissa Hortman.

The deciding vote. Then killed.

Almost like she knew what was coming.

Hell of a coincidence…

The more migrants arrive in an area, the more people leave for other parts of Britain:

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

It's a shithole. Almost every white British adult recognises it as such. An increasingly dangerous, dirty slum. There are only three groups of people who describe urban slums as vibrant and diverse... Foreigners, young people and politicians. Foreigners like it regardless because it's better than whatever shithole they came from, politicians praise it because they could never admit they turned it into a shithole, and young people, students especially enjoy the adventure, the convenience and the nightlife where they can test their mettle. I certainly enjoyed Leeds in my younger days, and latterly inner city Bristol. But everyone grows out of it eventually. People start to need familiarity, safety, predictability and kinship. That's why almost everyone moves away from "vibrant" areas when they can.

But then you get perpetual student types like Alice Roberts who never grow up. It's the liberal Peter Pan syndrome. As we've seen from other commentary from her in recent weeks, she peaked intellectually in 2008, and it was not a high peak. She remains, at heart, a wide-eyed lefty teenager, which is almost endearing, but not now she's knocking on into her fifties.

Our cities are filled with these types. Bristol and Brighton especially. Kidults who don't really follow politics to any level of sophistication, whose opinions are calibrated for maximum social convenience among other braindead urbanites. They effortlessly drift from one fad to another, be it climate, gender or Palestine. The Palestine cause is especially valuable social currency to them because it gives them a way to demonstrate to their exotic Uber driver that, though they're whiter than AC Grayling hair, they're a true ally to brown people.

Seeing as she's done quite well for herself, Ms Roberts is largely insulated from the worst aspects of diversity even if she chooses to live among it. The last fifteen years of rapid demographic change hasn't registered with her, and because she's programmed to see urban squalor as "vibrant", she lacks the language to call it what it is.

Deep down, though, she knows it's a dangerous shithole and will still take all the necessary precautions when going out with her girl pals - but to remain on "the right side of history" she has to pretend the grooming gangs, the knife crime, the organised crime is all just part of the rich fabric of vibrant and diverse modern Britain. Since none of it affects her directly, or is likely to intrude on her life, it's just the backdrop the exciting simulation she lives in. As far as she's concerned as a wealthy urbanite, "diversity" is largely consequence free.

What you can be assured of, though, is when it starts to get hairy, Ms Roberts will be the first to cash in her chips and move to a nice leafy white suburb (if she hasn't already), where she doesn't have to set eyes on the piles of rotting refuse or see any brown faces. She'll never have to wonder if her daughter is being preyed upon by Moslem perverts, and she won't be worried about her personal safety. When she says Birmingham is "vibrant, diverse and wonderful", she means... from a distance.

This is Judge Jamie Sawyer.

He jailed the three Epping protesters to LONGER sentences than the migrant rapist who sparked the disorder.

He has a Master’s degree in human rights and is a dedicated Labour voter.

When UK politicians tell you they are bringing in “skilled migrant workers” these include:

✅ Taxi drivers
✅ Hairdressers
✅ Corner shops
✅ Halal foods

Low wage, low skill, non-essential. Exactly the wrong kind!

You’d think they’d focus on hiring some additional staff to take out the bins that haven’t been collected for 6 months.

These councils are a joke.

This is England 2025.

3 Brits jailed this week for protests in Epping following illegal immigrant Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, staying at a taxpayer funded hotel in the town, sexually assaulted a woman and a 14-year-old girl.

The Brits got double, almost triple the sentences than the beast invader got.

Then judges decided the town must shut up and keep the fighting age foreign men, and pay for their upkeep!
