@GuidoFawkes The Thatcher Cider story started in 1904 when William Thatcher began making cider at Myrtle Farm in Sandford, Somerset, sweet FA to do with the dragon Maggie Thatcher.
@JohnFromCranber@NikkiHaley “We” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
When are you planning to get a uniform on and land at Banda Abbas ?
Easy to say when it’s not you on the frontline.
Israeli settlement council admits to systemic ritual sexual abuse of children following bombshell media investigation
——
The Gush Etzion Regional Council in the occupied West Bank has issued an unprecedented public admission acknowledging severe, multi-participant ritualistic sexual abuse within the settler community, which involved the gang-rape of children. The official statement marks a dramatic reversal for the settlement’s leadership, which had spent years systematically denying and dismissing allegations of sadistic abuse.
The official acknowledgment follows a damning investigative report by journalist Roni Singer on Israel's Kan 11 channel, which aired identical testimonies from five independent victims detailing organized, ritualistic assaults. Confronted with recorded evidence and professional corroboration, the council released a statement denouncing the perpetrators and describing the uncovered acts as "pure evil and a moral distortion."
In an effort to manage the immense public fallout, the settler council published crisis hotline numbers and urged further victims to come forward. The media exposure and subsequent admission are expected to force Israeli police to reopen previously shelved complaints and expand criminal investigations into what is emerging as one of the most organized abuse scandals inside the settlement enterprise.

This is bollocks and you know it.
Nobody is being handed £125,000 for a Ferrari. That number is forgone tax under salary sacrifice the driver gives up their own gross salary to lease the car and then pays Benefit-in-Kind on it (4% this year). It's the same tax mechanism as pensions and cycle-to-work. The car is paid for by the driver and their employer, not the taxpayer. Calling a tax relief a "purchase" is just dishonest.
And the scheme is open to nurses too NHS trusts run EV salary sacrifice. So "plumbers and nurses paying for the rich" is backwards: they can use the same relief.
Now if you actually want to talk about money leaving the public purse:
Starbucks paid ZERO UK corporation tax in 2024 and banked a £13.7m tax credit after sending around £40m in "royalty fees" to an overseas group company that conveniently wiped out its UK profit. Legal. Deliberate.
Amazon paid no UK corporation tax at all in 2021 and 2022, won't disclose what it pays now, and is estimated to have avoided roughly £575m in corporation tax in 2024 alone.
That's the real transfer of wealth billions in UK profit routed offshore so ordinary taxpayers cover the gap. Funny how that never gets a single capital-letter tweet.
A 4% tax rate on a company car gets "NET ZERO MUST BE SCRAPPED." Multinationals booking zero corporation tax on hundreds of millions in UK profit get silence. That's not principle it's selective outrage.
