I'm not going to lie. Being told by Keir Starmer and other entitled, out-of-touch politicians, that I'm not allowed to feel 'angry' or a 'cold rage' over the brutal murder of Henry Nowak and the disgusting way our two-tier police behaved is making me EVEN more angry.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

Downing Street now admits Starmer has disappearing messages turned on while conducting government business with Peter Mandelson – and, surprise, not a single WhatsApp between them appears in the 1,500 documents Parliament forced him to release.

The Cabinet Office guidance is crystal clear: if you use private apps like WhatsApp, significant information and decisions must be recorded and retained and disappearing functions must not undermine transparency.

That is exactly what appears to have happened here.

The Tories are absolutely right to demand an ethics investigation – if the Prime Minister can auto‑delete politically sensitive chats with his own fixer, then “ministerial standards” are a sick joke.

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

This is a country in which you tell people they can’t be angry, that they can’t be divisive and that they can’t ‘weaponise’ a horrific incident because you’re waiting for it to leave the news cycle and pretend the problem never existed.

[Chris Cork @chriscork89]

He’s used that sentence again folks “you will feel the full force of the law” shame those brothers at Manchester airport didn’t…. That Keir is two-tier.

If you listened to the British media today, you'd think Henry Nowak was killed by Nigel Farage's comments.

Even the UN has now admitted its dire climate predictions were false.The Climate alarmists should be held to account. Ed Miliband’s ludicrous Net Zero plans are ruining our economy and making people poorer, colder and less free. Our children are still be indoctrinated in school !

Cameras are going up everywhere for mass surveillance not public safety.They are linked to the new AI data centres. The ‘elites’ know when the masses ‘wake up’ they are going to need these control systems Your taxes are paying for this. You are paying for your own subjugation.

@CarolineLucas @simon_gunyah Caroline. How do you explain the previous record set in the 1920s- climate change ? And do you not remember the wonderfully hot summer of 1976

Doctor: "Your cholesterol's a bit high. I'd like to start you on a statin."

Patient: "What does that actually mean for my risk?"

Doctor: "It raises your chance of a cardiac event."

Patient: "Raises it by how much?"

Doctor: "It's elevated."

Patient: "How much, in real numbers?"

Doctor: "Your LDL is above the target."

Patient: "I'm asking for the absolute risk."

Doctor: "Statins are very well studied."

Patient: "I'd still like the number."

Doctor: "There can be some muscle aches, memory complaints, slight rise in blood glucose, but..."

Patient: "That sounds like a list of new conditions."

Doctor: "Side effects are uncommon."

Patient: "What's the actual risk reduction over five years?"

Doctor: "Let me get you a leaflet."

The leaflet is produced by the company that makes the drug.

The leaflet shows the relative risk reduction in large bold type.

The leaflet does not show the absolute risk reduction.

The absolute risk reduction, buried in the trial data, comes out to roughly 1%.

The leaflet does not mention this. The doctor does not mention this. The patient leaves with the prescription.

@Ed_Miliband It really is a shame we can’t heat our homes on hot air! You singularly could provide the needs for a small city.. like Birmingham, the rest of the party could do the rest of your favourite region…. Europe!

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism.

One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled.

The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy.

Meanwhile, in Cheshire.

A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain.

She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco.

To recap.

600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water.

Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food.

The shopper picks the almond.

She has been told this is the ethical position.

The aquifer would like a word.

There was a time, not that long ago, when 70/30 ground beef was the standard cut at every butcher counter.

Not the premium. Not the specialty. The standard. The default the butcher handed you when you said "a pound please" without specifying further. Thirty percent fat by weight, because that is the ratio at which ground beef actually tastes like beef, holds together on a grill, drips through the grates onto charcoal and smokes the patty from below, and feeds a family of five for what a coffee costs today.

The Sunday burgers depended on it. The Wednesday meatloaf. The Friday chili that simmered all afternoon and tasted better the next day. The neighborhood cookout where dads stood around the grill with a beer and a spatula and a sense of purpose. A whole summer rotated through 70/30, and nobody got fat, and nobody had heart attacks at fifty-two, and nobody asked the butcher whether it was lean.

He wouldn't have understood the question. Lean was for the dog.

Then 1977 happened. The McGovern Report came in. The food pyramid followed. "Extra lean" appeared as a category. The default crept down.

70/30 became hard to find. 80/20 quietly replaced it. The children grew up not knowing it had been anything else. Then 80/20 started disappearing. 85/15. 90/10. 93/7 marketed as "extra lean" with a heart-check logo and a markup. Ground turkey next to it, beige and apologetic, the color of a hospital wall.

Now the floor at most supermarkets is 90/10 and the ceiling is whatever the butcher will grind for you if you smile and ask. 80/20 has been quietly reframed as "the fatty option." The upscale grocer's butcher will warn you about 70/30 with a small chuckle, as if you'd asked for arsenic and he had a duty of care.

You have asked for the cut your great-grandfather grilled in the backyard after he came home from the war. He has been trained to advise you against it.

So. Plainly.

Find the 70/30 where you can. Local butchers will grind it on request. Farm stands will do it. The good neighborhood carnicerias often have it as their default, because their customers actually cook. If you find a place that sells it, tell them you'll be back, and be back.

Where 70/30 isn't available, use 80/20 as the floor. Not the ceiling. The floor. Anything leaner has been engineered for a market that has been quietly turned against the food it was built to eat.

Your great-grandfather crossed an ocean for a country he had never seen and ate 70/30 in the same year.

You can ask for it at the counter.

We’re paying people on benefits to do nothing while our parks and streets look like this.

Instead of just handing out cash, give them community jobs cleaning litter, fixing local areas, pay them in vouchers.

It builds dignity, cleans Britain, and saves taxpayer money

Thoughts?

Tourist: "Why are there goats in the supermarket car park?"

Local: "They live on the headland. They come down sometimes."

Tourist: "Shouldn't somebody do something?"

Local: "They've been here longer than the supermarket."

Tourist: "But they're eating the flowers."

Local: "They're keeping the verges down. Council saves about £8,000 a year."

Tourist: "Don't they spread disease?"

Local: "Less than the seagulls."

Tourist: "What's that one doing in the bus shelter?"

Local: "Sheltering. It's about to rain."

Tourist: "From the bus?"

Local: "From the rain. The bus comes through every twenty minutes."

Tourist: "Does it move when the bus arrives?"

Local: "Eventually. Goat operates on its own schedule."

Tourist: "This is the strangest place I've ever been."

Local: "You're in the goat's town. You're the strange one."

Gary MacArthur gave 15 years of his life to Sainsbury’s in West Wickham, south-east London.

He wasn’t some troublemaker.

He was the worker who stayed late to make female colleagues feel safer.

The worker who performed CPR on the store’s only security guard after he suffered a suspected stroke.

The worker who had already previously LOST TEETH after being punched by a thief while trying to protect the store.

But after tackling an allegedly aggressive repeat offender known for targeting the branch and stealing bottles of Moët, Bollinger and Veuve Clicquot Sainsbury’s sacked him for gross misconduct.

This was after colleagues screamed there was an “aggressive Champagne thief” in the store.

According to reports, the shoplifter later smashed bottles and hurled them at staff.

Yet Gary MacArthur a man who dedicated 15 years of loyalty, protected colleagues and even helped save a life that same day — was told he should have acted only as a “visual deterrent.”

Absolutely disgusting.

Supermarket workers are being punched, threatened, abused and terrorised by repeat shoplifters on a daily basis… yet the staff who actually step in to protect colleagues and customers are the ones losing their jobs.

Gary MacArthur at Sainsbury’s.
Walker Smith at Waitrose.
Sean Egan at Morrisons.
Gavin Ramsay at Asda.

Decades of loyalty thrown away because they refused to stand by while thieves ran riot.

What kind of country are we becoming where the people trying to protect others lose everything… while the criminals walk straight back out onto the streets?

[Lee Anderson MP @LeeAndersonMP_]

Terrible News.

@reformparty_uk are fixing potholes by using one of our greatest ever British manufacturers machines.

British councils buying British machines to fix British roads employing British people in Britain.

Truly shocking.

@elonmusk @grok can you turn this glamorous gay idea into a Ru Paul drag race theme at the London Paladium?

@WolfgangRichtEU @afneil As a gay man I have to disagree. His downfall is down to his own shortcomings and insincerity not because he is gay.
