The internet gives dumb people access to each other.
Before the internet, they were scattered amongst the rest of us...
SO god damn true.
The internet is the seed of stupidity and ignorance.
9 years ago today, this ungrateful scum bag blew himself up and killed 22 innocent people in Manchester.
I heard the explosion for it was on my street. I rolled over and went back to sleep. City centre living is noisy.
The bomb was made and put together in a flat down the road. My friend lived nextdoor and still does. He would have died if it had gone off prematurely.
Did anything change after this terrorist attack? Did we start to take seriously Islamism? Did we reduce immigration? Did we deport foreigners with incompatible views?
We did nothing which led to Southport. The next terrorist attack is on its way for we have become a silly people governed by idiots.
“We’re here to f*ck all the white girls and f*ck the government.”
Katie Lam quoted what the Rape Gangs said about their intentions.
She then isn’t afraid to call out the heritage of these men. She names it.
If you cannot name a problem, you cannot solve a problem.
Just thought I’d take you back to a year ago when she said this because right now the Rape Gangs seems to have been put on the back burner.
Never stay silent.
We can enjoy our bank holidays in the uk for many years to come, knowing lads like my Leo are working hard at the crack of dawn producing food (even on bank holiday weekends)
Have a great weekend
Thanks for the hat @stowag1969 and must not forget @official_grassmen
AMAZING—The flotilla activists are totally fine boarding the plane to go to Turkey, but when they land, they’re crippled on stretchers.
What happened and how’s this Israel’s fault again?
In Auschwitz, my mother taught me three rules.
Not stories. Not prayers. Rules. The kind that kept you alive.
Rule one: Never make eye contact with a guard.
Rule two: Never show that you are sick.
Rule three: Never, ever, lose your bowl.
I was five years old. I memorized them the way other children memorize nursery rhymes.
The bowl was a small tin thing. Dented. Scratched. It held whatever thin soup they gave us once a day. If you lost your bowl, you had no bowl. If you had no bowl, you had no ration. If you had no ration, you understand.
I guarded that bowl with everything I had. I slept with it. I held it against my chest during roll call. I knew where it was every second of every day.
Then one morning, I fell into the latrine.
There is no delicate way to say this. The latrines in Auschwitz were wooden boards with holes cut into them over a pit. The holes were large. I was very small. I was in a hurry. I slipped.
I went in up to my neck.
The smell. The cold. The rats. I do not need to describe it. Your mind already knows.
My mother tried to pull me out. She could not. I was slippery and she had no strength. None of us had strength. We had not eaten properly in months. She called out. Other women came. Together they pulled me free. Someone found a hose. They sprayed me down in the cold air while I stood there shaking.
I did not cry. Rule number one in Auschwitz was the same rule everywhere, do not attract attention.
But I got sick. Very sick. The kind of sick that comes from rats and filth and cold water and a body that has nothing left to fight with.
And I remembered Rule Two, never show that you are sick.
I hid it from everyone. From the guards. From the other children. Even from my mother, because I knew if she knew, she would do something. And doing something in Auschwitz got you killed.
But someone saw. I do not know who. I do not know why they helped me instead of reporting me. I never knew.
They took me to a room, a makeshift hospital. I lay in a bed, a real bed, not a wooden bunk, for the first time since we had arrived.
I do not remember much of what happened next. The fever blurred everything. Days passed like smoke.
When I came out, I still had my bowl.
I had held it even in the latrine. Even in the fever. Even in the dark when I did not know where I was or what day it was.
My mother looked at me when I came back. She looked at the bowl. She did not say anything. She just nodded, the way she nodded when something had gone the way it needed to go.
People ask me what survival looks like.
I tell them, sometimes it looks like a five year old girl climbing out of a latrine in a death camp, covered in filth, shaking with cold, still holding her tin bowl.
Because she knew that the bowl was the difference between eating and not eating. Between living and not.
Because her mother had told her. And she had listened.
I am Tova Friedman. I fell into a latrine in Auschwitz at five years old.
I came out still holding my bowl.
Tova.

This is the moment Stephen Denison is arrested.
Two days earlier he’d sexually assaulted a woman on a train.
He’s now behind bars.
We have zero tolerance for sexual offending on the railway.

Hull/Leeds: Meet Iraqi asylum seeker Nareem Al-Janabi, housed in a migrant hotel in Leeds. He's only been in the country for a few days & already he's tried to sexually abuse a 13-year-old British girl.
Send them home, mass deportations are a must. We don't want them here!
Very good example of the lies anti-Western activists love to tell:
The claim that Britain only paid off slavery compensation in 2015 is false — and the person who spread it has admitted it.
The claim that "British taxpayers were paying off slavery compensation until 2015" went viral in 2018 when the UK National Debt Management Office tweeted it. It was retracted almost immediately because it was wrong. The 1835 government loan used to pay slave owner compensation was fully redeemed in 1938. What continued beyond that were small residual government consolidated bonds — routine Victorian-era debt instruments bundled together with hundreds of other government expenditures from the same period, including the Napoleonic Wars and Irish Famine relief. This lie spread because it was emotionally compelling. It was not true.
Yes, slavery compensation was paid to the owners because that was the only way to achieve abolition. And yes, abolition was the result of campaigning and technological changes but it nonetheless represents a unique achievement of the West: everywhere else, including the Far East, the Middle East and Africa slavery continued for decades, if not centuries, and into the present time.
Note how, as usual, anti-Western narratives deliberately fail to engage in a fair comparison with OTHER empires and civilisations in the world and their conduct during the same time period.
I refuse to hold our civilisation to a fake, utopian standard of perfection while letting everyone else off the hook.
@Councillorsuzie It's easy to come up with nonsensical wish lists when you're not in power, not held accountable and unlikely to ever have them become effective UK policy or law.
I should stand for the Green Party

This Memorial Day, I want to tell you about a Japanese general most Americans have never heard of.
His name was Tadamichi Kuribayashi.
In 1927, he lived in America. He studied at Harvard. He drove across your country and wrote letters home about how kind Americans were.
Eighteen years later, he commanded the Japanese forces at Iwo Jima.
He knew he would lose. He knew he would die. He fought anyway, to buy his homeland time.
For 36 days, 6,800 of your Marines died on that black sand. So did 21,000 of his men. Including him.
He never saw his three children again.
Today, American and Japanese veterans return to that same island together. They lay wreaths side by side. The fallen of both nations rest in one place now.
On the memorial stone there, his widow's words are carved in stone:
Once enemies. Now friends. Never again.
Denmark just released official crime statistics broken down by origin.
The groups with the highest crime rates are from Somalia, Palestine, and Morocco.
For years, European leaders denied any connection between mass immigration from certain countries and rising crime. Now the data is becoming impossible to ignore.
How much longer will they keep pretending this isn’t happening?
There are rumours circulating that Rangrez is closed. That is completely false.
The restaurant was only shut for a few days while I've been away visiting Gurdwaras and temples in India, seeking blessings, strength, and clarity. 🙏
We are open from today, stronger than ever.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Rangrez through the noise. ❤️
