You are held hostage by the bottom 1% of society infinitely more than the top 1%.

Elon Musk is not the reason the store shelves are locked up, and cities are setting up Flock cameras on every street corner.

If we didn't have a violent and impulsive lumpenproletariat underclass destroying everything around them, there would be no argument for treating the rest of society like potential criminals when they're out in public.

🚨BREAKING: RED CROSS DELETES VIDEO AFTER MIGRANT MURDERS BRITISH WOMAN

The Red Cross made a sympathetic cartoon video showing the journey of Sharif, an Afghan travelling to Europe

When Sharif got there he MURDERED a British Woman and stuffed her body into a suitcase

They wanted you to feel sorry for him but he killed a young woman like the savage that he is

The Red Cross must be held to account for the blood they have on their hands

They want to assault little girls
because it satisfies them.

They want to use violence
because it satisfies them.

They want to hide their faces behind black cloth
so no one can see who they are
because it satisfies them.

That is not a religion.
That is a dog.
That is a pig.
That is a frontal lobe the size of a single grain of Sahara sand.

A real man protects the weak.
A human protects the young.

When you enter someone else’s land,
you respect the owner and follow their rules.
You do not threaten their safety.

That is what a human is.

If you cannot do that,
you are not a man.
You are not even a human.

You are a dog.
A pig.
A parasite.
A virus.

I'd rather be the man who discriminates against Islam
for the sake of a daughter
than the man who sacrifices a daughter
for the sake of Islam.

My own daughter.
A Black girl.
A White girl.
Even a Muslim girl.

I've said it for years.

Protecting daughters
is not just the definition of a man.
It is the reason a human being exists.

🚨📉THE SLOW DEATH OF BRITAIN:

We have shit water companies so we buy bottled water.

We have rubbish police so we hire private security.

We have terrible healthcare so we pay private hospitals instead.

Airbnbs in Cornwall pay council tax but get no rubbish collection, so they pay Biffa on top.

An awful lot of firemen are now volunteers.

NHS dentists don’t really work anymore, so you go private or you pull it out yourself.

Our roads are littered with potholes nobody fills. Your privately funded tyres and suspension are the collateral.

You are forced under threat of criminal prosecution to fund the BBC, and it’s so bad you pay for streaming to get news or entertainment anyway.

Your bins are collected fortnightly, so you drive to the tip. The tip now requires a booking, a permit and proof you live in the county.

Garden waste is a separate annual subscription. On top of the council tax that used to cover it.

Your GP surgery is an 8am phone lottery, so you pay £40 to an app to speak to a doctor in a different time zone.

CAMHS has a two year waiting list, so parents remortgage for private assessments.

Your child’s SEN provision is a legal entitlement, so you hire a solicitor to sue the council for it. The council spends more fighting you than the support would have cost.

Physio is a forty week wait. Your back does not have forty weeks.

Schools teach in portable cabins bolted to the playground because the actual building is held up by aerated concrete and hope.
Half of them are technically insolvent.

Parents fund the reading books, the glue sticks, the photocopier, the roof and increasingly the teachers wages - all via a PTA raffle and local fundraisers.

The state offers “free” childcare hours that don’t cover the nursery’s costs, so the nursery bills you a “top up fee” for the free thing.

Shoplifting under £200 is functionally legal, so Tesco hires guards - who crucially don’t even try to stop it - and you pay for them in the price of the milk.

999 takes an hour, so you buy the Ring doorbell, gather the evidence, file the report and get a crime number for the insurance you also pay for.

Court backlogs run to years, so anyone with money settles privately and everyone else gets nothing.

Legal aid is gone. Represent yourself.

Passport and DVLA backlogs are chronic, so the state sells you a fast track service to escape the queue the state created.

The trains are late whoever owns them, so you drive on the roads with the potholes.
Public toilets are shut, so you buy a coffee you don’t want.

The library is staffed by pensioners working for free.

Street lights are switched off at midnight to save money in a country with a burglary charge rate near zero.

You pay National Insurance for fifty years and they move the pension age.

You pay the adult social care precept every year and then sell your mother’s house to pay for adult social care.

Leaseholders pay for a “waking watch” because the state signed off the cladding and then billed the residents to fix it.

Social housing sits on the most valuable land in Britain, allocated by need rather than proximity to work, 48% of zone 1 social housing is occupied by foreigners mostly welfare dependent - while the nurses, teachers and other workers who keep zone 1 running commute ninety minutes each way from Kent because we stopped building anything in 1979.

Every one of these is a service you have already bought. The receipt is your payslip.

The tax burden is heading for its highest sustained level since the 1940s. The service level is the worst in living memory.

You are not overtaxed or underserved. You are actually BOTH, simultaneously, and the gap between the two is where your standard of living went.

The state has become a subscription you cannot cancel and cannot use.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

The British colonialism lasted a few centuries, left behind railroads, legal systems, education, and modern institutions.

It wasn't perfect. It had its sins. But it also built.

The British brought modern medicine, science, engineering, and governance.

They opened schools, built cities, printed books, developed infrastructure, and left behind functioning states, many of which are now sovereign global players.

Now compare that to Islamic colonialism,

1,400 years long, relentless, brutal, and still ongoing.

It left behind slavery, tribalism, religious apartheid, cultural erasure, and the complete destruction of countless civilizations.

In India alone, Islamic invasions are estimated to have killed 80 million Hindus.

Entire cultures, Zoroastrians, Berbers, Assyrians, Nubians, Copts, were wiped out, Arabized, or reduced to second-class citizens.

Native languages were erased. Indigenous philosophies were buried under Arabic supremacism.
Libraries were destroyed.

Islamic empires didn't bring modernity.

They stole achievements from conquered people, translated their works, stamped Arabic on them, and claimed the glory.

What was preserved from the Greeks, Persians, and Indians wasn't Islamic brilliance, it was Islamic appropriation.

Islamic colonialism didn't leave behind parliaments, constitutions, or democratic institutions.

It left behind dictatorships, theocracies, blasphemy laws, and sharia brutality.

It replaced thinkers with clerics, debate with dogma, and diversity with submission.

Never put British and Islamic colonialism in the same category.

British colonialism built nations.
Islamic colonialism buried them.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

It is a curious morality that measures success not by whether lives improve, but by whether someone earned a profit while improving them. If the employer prospers, the arrangement is condemned, even if the employee voluntarily accepted it and is better off than before. The socialist would sooner see the bakery close than permit the baker to profit from feeding the town.

The remarkable thing isn't that they dislike inequality. It's that they'd rather eliminate the opportunity than tolerate someone else benefiting from creating it. They'd rather both employer and employee be poorer than admit mutual benefit is possible.

The socialist mindset would rather everyone be poorer than let someone profit by making others better off. Mutual gain is treated as exploitation, while mutual loss is mistaken for justice.

[Donna Louise @DonnaLouise1212]

She was 11.

Eleven years old. Still in primary school.

Forced to perform sex acts in the playground. Then systematically raped, drugged, trafficked and gang-raped for years by a network of Muslim men in Rotherham.

Her mother begged the police for help. They threatened to fine her for wasting their time and called the child a “dirty little prostitute.”

Only decades later did some of these monsters finally get sentenced — 15, 19, 20 years.

Now, under Labour’s early-release scheme for prison overcrowding, some of the worst of them could walk free in as little as five or six years.

Let that sink in.
An 11-year-old girl’s childhood was destroyed by predators who treated her like disposable meat. And the system that failed her then is now preparing to fail her again by letting them out early.

These aren’t “groomers.” They’re child rapists.

Paedophiles. Monsters.
Rapists and child abusers should serve every single day of their sentences. Full stop.

No early release. No excuses. No more.

If this doesn’t make your blood boil, nothing will.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

“We need to find common ground with the Left”

Let me tell you how this is going to go.

Conservatives will offer the Left economic concessions and then ask their “fellow liberals” what they’re willing to offer in return.

Abolishing Birthright Citizenship? Repealing Hart-Celler? Ending “Disparate Impact”? Stoping discrimination against White men in hiring and college admissions? How about you just drop the trans stuff? That’s a good first start.

And in response to these reasonable concessions, the Left we are supposed to be “uniting” with will declare us Fascist bigots who must be destroyed, because these things ARE what the Left IS at this point.

Replacement migration, open borders, anti-White discrimination, pro-women/minority nepotism, and trans ideology are each theological commitments on the Left. There’s no “compromise” to be had here on these things in their eyes. You will either submit or you will be destroyed.

Their ideology doesn’t work without treating me as the perpetual villain. Trying to escape that label in their eyes requires endless humiliation rituals that I refuse to participate in.

I’d rather be their eternal enemy than lie to myself that I could ever be their friend.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab.

I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood.

Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell.

Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice.

I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known.

And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them.

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

The Bible was written on three continents.

Asia.
Africa.
Europe.

In three languages.

Hebrew.
Aramaic.
Greek.

By over 40 different men:

Shepherds.
Kings.
Prophets.
Fishermen.
A tax collector.
A doctor.
A tentmaker.

Written in palaces and prisons.
In deserts and cities.
In freedom and in exile.

Across roughly 1,500 years.

66 books.
One continuous story:

Creation.
Fall.
Redemption.
Christ.

Most of these writers never met.
No committee planned it.
No editor stitched it together.

Yet it opens in a garden with the Tree of Life
and closes in a garden with the Tree of Life.

Different writers.
Different centuries.
Different cultures.

One voice.

Because behind the human hands was a divine Author.

Men held the pens.

But God wrote the story.

[Rachel Rebecca Halliwell @Rachelhalliwel5]

Never forget what Starmer said.
Police in riot gear raided my home. They arrived with a key and a saw at the ready. My 16-year-old son was handcuffed while I was detained in a room as officers searched the entire property from top to bottom. He was arrested solely for being present at the protest.
In the same town, my 12-year-old daughter was groomed, raped, beaten and died. Despite an admission of guilt, the perpetrator was only requested to attend a voluntary interview.
This is two-tier policing in practice.

[Handre @Handre]

Between 1837 and 1863, the United States ran no central bank, and prices barely moved. This is no coincidence.

After Andrew Jackson killed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, America entered what historians call the Free Banking Era. Banks operated under state charters, competed with each other, and issued their own paper notes backed by gold and silver. No Federal Reserve. No lender of last resort handing out cheap money to well-connected institutions.

The result? Average annual inflation sat somewhere around zero. Some years actually saw mild deflation, meaning your dollar bought more over time. Imagine telling that to someone who watched their grocery bill climb 20% between 2020 and 2023.

Free market thinkers have pointed to this period for decades because it demonstrates a fundamental mechanism: competition keeps banks honest. If a bank in Ohio issued more paper notes than its gold reserves could support, people caught on fast and demanded redemption. The bank either held enough gold or it failed. There was no bailout waiting.

Yes, banks did fail sometimes. Free banking critics love bringing that up. But bank failures in a competitive system are exactly how bad actors get flushed out. Depositors learned to check a bank's reputation. Publications like the *Bank Note Reporter* gave people real information on which institutions were solid.

The system wasn't perfect, but it produced something modern central banking has never once delivered: sustained price stability without a government committee deciding what money should cost. The Fed has existed since 1913, and the dollar has lost over 97% of its purchasing power since then.

If you're in Cornwall on holiday, or your children are, be warned that UBER have sent down drivers from all over the country.

They are not registered here, they are not licenced, and they are not DBS checked.

You will have zero idea who any of these men are, where they're from, their criminal past, or even if they have a UK driver's licence.

Do NOT get in their cars.

If you need the name of a reputable firm, please feel free to message me and I will find one for you.

Israel is behind the hatred of Muslims and Islam in general.

The 250,000 girls raped in the UK by Pakistani Muslims have nothing to do with it.

The thousands of Islamic terror attacks have nothing to do with it.

Fourteen centuries of Islamic conquest have nothing to do with it.

9/11 has nothing to do with it.

Eighty years of religious war against the tiny, only Jewish state has nothing to do with it.

The 57 Islamic countries that were once 100% non-Islamic have nothing to do with it.

The divine mandate to take over the world and establish the caliphate has nothing to do with it.

The killing of artists who draw Muhammad has nothing to do with it.

The killing of apostates has nothing to do with it.

The killing of authors has nothing to do with it.

Turning women into property has nothing to do with it.

Sex slavery and the mass murder of the enemies of Allah have nothing to do with it.

It was Israel.

The inconvenient truth.

[IMPERATOR @IMPERATORAUS]

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas provides a systematic account of man’s obligations concerning the commandment of love. He explains that the order of charity (ordo caritatis) is a hierarchical love that begins with God and then extends outward in proper degrees.

One must first love God above all, then oneself rightly ordered to God, and then those most closely united to him.

A father’s primary obligation is to his immediate family, then to his extended family and friends, and then to his wider community.

Similarly, a nation’s primary obligation is to its own citizens, then to neighbouring peoples and allies, and finally to the wider international community.

A man that inverts the order of charity — whether under the name of charity, mercy, or tolerance — is as the name would suggest, fundamentally disordered.

[Glauber Costa @glcst]

15 years ago, as a rabid atheist, I met a Greek Orthodox Christian at a function and we started to talk about religion (I have never met this person again). I told him that you had to be really stupid to hold any religious belief. I was a rational man, and couldn't come to believe in made up fairy tales. Religion was not falsifiable. It was all untestable claims about the universe with no value.

To my surprise, he didn't argue, he didn't seem moved. He stated: "I agree". And upon gazing over my confused face for a second, he continued. "All religions are unfalsifiable, but one: Christianity"

He then quoted the letter of St. Paul to the Romans, where St. Paul states that if Jesus didn't rise from the dead, we are worse than fools. And explained that the central claim of Christianity rests on a historical claim, not a metaphysical one.
Amidst people over the centuries trying to distill Christianity to a moral set of teachings, a way of life, a philosophy, Christians keep insisting: well sure, you can do all of that. But we gather here because Christ rose from the dead. And if He didn't, we are worse than fools.

I replied that I had to concede on his premise: this was a falsifiable claim. But it was also a false claim, obviously so. So we agreed on one more thing: they were all fools!

Almost a decade later, I spent a long time - more than a year, looking deeply into the evidence for Christ's resurrection, I was convinced that by far, the hypothesis that best explained the totality of the facts was that The Word became flesh, and after his death by crucifixion, rose from the dead.

It wasn't an easy psychological process because so much of my identity rested on being the smart rational guy that was above all the superstitious nonsense.

And because it wasn't easy for me, I know it is not easy for most. Even for most of that year in which I looked at the evidence, it still all felt obviously false.

The two things that flipped me the most were:
1) My realization that I was in a sense guilty of the circularity that I accused many religious people of: I *knew* a priori that the resurrection was impossible because well, it is impossible. By already assuming this explanation was out, every other was immediately better. But once I opened myself to the possibility that it could be true, however unlikely, it changed things completely for me
2) My realization that I had to look at the totality of evidence instead of expecting that each piece of evidence on its own would explain the whole thing. Funny enough I didn't apply this standard to anything else, but applied to the claim of the resurrection.

It was a confusing time for me but I then decided that if that was true, I couldn't just sit idly and had to do something about it.

This all happened around 6 years ago. And I am here to tell you that after 2,000 years, this crazy claim survives for a reason: it is true. And if it isn't, I am worse than a fool.

Which you likely think I am, like I thought of that unnamed person whom I never met again.

I don't talk about it often and as a rule of thumb don't argue about it woth anyone, because as I learned with my own experience going through it, the frame of mind matters. Something has to click (this is true for all big mental shifts, not just this one)

Perhaps you are a recent follower of mine, and lost all respect for me now - as I would have done back then.

But I pray to the Lord that at least for some of you, I can be the small crack that opens the dam of the truth for you.

Know that Jesus Christ, God made flesh, loves you. And he offered himself in sacrifice for you.
