This is the City Barge pub in Chiswick right now. What do you notice? It’s 3pm and they’re open. It’s a sunny day. Yes, that’s right; they have had to remove all of the tables and chairs outside. They have had to destroy their own business. Why? Because Rick Rowe, a Green Party councillor on Hounslow council, who lives very, very, very close to this pub and complains about it almost daily, has banned all three pubs here on strand on the Green Chiswick, from having outside tables. I can only assume he hates pubs, hates business and hates the British way of life. This would usually be buzzing with people enjoying their afternoon. However, they’re the wrong sort of people for Rick.

@FeelYouHappy It's a ball, get over it. Big deal, who cares.

@London_W4 I find it is also true for community linked things such as litter picking volunteers and community transport drivers etc.

People keep attacking the triple lock but nobody ever seems to mention gold plated civil service pensions. It’s those that will bankrupt the country.

[lincs 1966 @lincslincs]

The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years.

Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped.

Why?

State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers.

The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage.

If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes.

Leave pensioners alone.

They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.

Keir Starmer can complain about foreign interference from @elonmusk and @JDVance all he likes but:

He's the one who led the UK's martyrdom of George Floyd in 2020

And he's the one who led a party which campaigned for Kamala Harris in battleground states during the US election

SHAME on the disgusting U.K. Police and Politicians that treat white people as SECOND CLASS CITIZENS

Is kicking defenceless protesters in the head part of Hampshire Police training?

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

Tragic scenes last night in Southampton. I condemn that behaviour.

Separately, I have a few points:

- Why are people blaming Farage for people’s rage? Are they really that thick or is it desperation to score political points? People are raging, not because of Farage, but because they have had ENOUGH of what is happening in and to this country.

- Why, when white working class people protest are they consistently met with batons, shields and provocative force? That doesn’t seem to happen as standard elsewhere (Harehills springs to mind)

- Why do the police, given people are already furious with their actions, think it’s a good idea to repeatedly strike a lone individual - who is already prone on the ground - while another officer then moves to try and block the camera view?

No ideas of his own - just wants Brussels to tell us what to do.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”

TODAY - I am once again riding the annual "Duchenne Dash" – cycling from London to Paris in 24 hours to raise money for Duchenne UK.

The Dash began in 2013, happens every year – and I've ridden every one.

This year, to mix it up a bit, I'm ON A TANDEM, joined by one of my oldest friends, Serge Kogan, who has flown in from California, at his own expense, to do this ride with me.

Serge and I are riding "The Beast" - my trusty two-handed bicycle. This is his first time on a tandem - and he is a little nervous about riding this machine 300km with me in 24 hours.

It's a long way - and riding a tandem up hills (including the South Downs) is tough, given that you can't stand up on the pedals.

But we're leaving London today - heading for Newhaven, then the ferry to Dieppe, before the long grind to the French capital, arriving tomorrow afternoon.

Please support this worthy cause if you can – every penny is gratefully received – and help the superb parent-run charity Duchenne UK continue to fund the development of treatments for a particularly nasty and fatal form of muscular dystrophy.

And please do like and share this post !!
