@DrChrisParry @Keir_Starmer More to the point, it shows them for what they are... a contemptible collection of quislings.

The Steam Ship Great Britain Trust lacks people with balls... The irony of said left-wing activists, who self evidently are full of shit, staging anti-sewage demonstrations.

With respect, the 2010-to-2024 factor is subject to Newton's Third Law of Motion... imagine Conservatism meaning Smaller Government, Lower Taxes, Fiscal Responsibility, National Sovereignty (including strict enforcement, robust policing, legal reforms to prevent unauthorised entry). I opine that the last conservative Conservative was Baroness Margaret Thatcher.

The hands down 2026 winner of "the most disruptive political force in Britain" is Fabian Labour. The protest parties that just might save Great Britain from a near economical and societal abyss are @reformparty_uk and @RestoreBritain.

Going all the way would take Milei and Bukele corrective action... something the Conservatives have never attempted and Fabian Labour never will.

What Fabian Labour finally has given a green light to (a sizeable, almost performative, military operation to stop a non-combat vessel) will not scratch the surface. According to the International Energy Agency (April 2026), Russia's oil and oil product export revenues nearly doubled, to $19 billion in March from $9.75 billion in February...

Meanwhile, the UK officially allows imports of diesel and jet fuel made from Russian crude oil. In May 2026, amid soaring prices and global supply issues caused by the war in Iran, Fabian Labour issued a license allowing these refined products to enter the UK from third countries like India and Turkey.

Meanwhile, since 2018, over 200,000 illegal immigrants crossed the English Channel in inflatable dinghies to invade the UK. This actually began around 2014 (invasion in Ukraine), but detailed official Home Office tracking did not commence until 2018 (!!) when these crossings grew into a primary method of illegal entry.

Islamic Religious Instruction, Combat Training And Hezbollah Sympathies. Welcome To The Peak District's Spiritual Warrior Camp.

Sayed Hussain Makke ran his Spiritual Warrior camp again this month. Same location, Darwin Lake in the Peak District. A camp built around Islamic religious instruction, evidently aimed at young Muslim men, combining wrestling and combat training with theology sold under the language of God-centric masculinity and brotherhood. A year ago a 16-year-old who attended said it felt like Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's late leader, was with us again.

Makke has mourned Hezbollah fighters, including a British friend who died serving the proscribed group, and has also glorified senior figures in Iran's Revolutionary Guard. He attended Nasrallah's funeral and praised the size of the crowd as proof the resistance was alive and well. Hezbollah's military wing has been proscribed in Britain since 2008, its political wing since 2019. Supporting a proscribed organisation carries up to 14 years in prison.

Alicia Kearns, former chair of the foreign affairs select committee, has been reporting Makke to counter-terror police for months. This week he flew back into the country. Nothing happened. Her message to the Home Office was blunt. Months ago she handed the Government evidence about Hussain Makke. This week he walked into Britain unchallenged. If that is what stopping at nothing looks like, the Government's promises to Britain's Jewish community aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Counter Terrorism Policing London's response was a sentence built entirely out of conditional clauses. Reports get reviewed. Reviews get passed on. Nothing closes the loop.

When journalists reported on the camp, Makke's response, issued through a legal group, did not deny attending Nasrallah's funeral. It accused the Jewish Chronicle of being an asset of a hostile foreign regime and said British authorities should instead focus on tracking, capturing and imprisoning home-grown Jewish extremists who have served in the genocidal Israeli military. That statement was made by a man about to run a residential camp for teenagers, for the second year running, without having been arrested.

And there's a dimension to this that gets lost when every story involving an Islamic preacher gets filed under one heading. Makke is a Shia cleric trained at a seminary in Lebanon under Hezbollah influence, now based in an area of southern Lebanon with a significant Hezbollah presence. He is not representative of British Muslims generally, the large majority of whom are Sunni and have no connection to this. But what he is building, year on year, looks exactly like the organised, identity-based recruitment that has reshaped local politics in towns like Kirklees: discipline, cohesion, a shared sense of grievance and mission, instilled early and reinforced annually. Whatever you think of that model, it works. The institutions meant to be watching for it are, by their own account, still reviewing.

That asymmetry is the real story. A man with an open paper trail of pro-Hezbollah statements, openly hostile to British Jews in writing, runs annual camps for teenagers while an MP's repeated referrals sit in a queue. Henry Nowak's case showed what happens when officers are trained to treat a racism accusation as the primary fact requiring response. This is the same reflex from a different angle. A fear of how acting might look appears to carry more weight than a documented paper trail of supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation. Kearns has handed over the evidence. The question, asked directly, is whether anyone will open the file.

"Makke has mourned Hezbollah fighters, including a British friend who died serving the proscribed group, and has also glorified senior figures in Iran's Revolutionary Guard."

"Belgium with nuclear weapons"... interesting, because this is what US Vice President JD Vance said in 2024 (so many people got in a flap about it) "that the UK, following the election of this Fabian Labour government, might become the first truly Islamist country to possess nuclear weapons".

Milliband is the mouthpiece of Britain's cui bono Low Carbon (bollocks) and Renewable Energy (much of it ends up as landfill) businesses that generate i.r.o. £77 billion in annual turnover.

A turnover by the grace of an annual subsidy cost (UK taxpayer) for the British green energy sector is currently £25.8 billion a year, a sum equivalent to nearly fifty per cent of UK annual spending on Defence.

There used to be a time when a local Rugby Club might help out... in the absence of such ancient simplicity, opportunistic pricks like the above tranny feel that the coast is clear for them to perv. Damage to innocent children be damned.

My question simply is this, who deserves protection and consideration most, children or autogynephiliacs ?

Rugbeia Floreat Ubique... fondly remember Paul Thorburn who successfully kicked a 70-yard 8.5-inches penalty against Scotland in 1986. Would not that make stars shine. @Glinner

@JohnCleese Does not Bristol fall under the Greens John? That in name only green concern party that shoehorns in Muslim interests, loves the LBGTQ+ (who would be thrown off a building in many Muslim countries), but dislikes ordinary Brits...

Correction: Yvette Cooper will sends an extra £10 million of UK taxpayers' money to Hamas which without oversight will not be spent on salaries... Fabian Labour Yvette is funding terrorists to attack Israel.

Yvette could have sent an auto-delete WhatsApp to Zahra Arafat (the only daughter of and heir to Yasser Arafat’s $8 billion fortune from aid donated by Europe and the US) asking her to chip in.

@ABridgen Nobody in the current @POTUS Administration believe Starmer. They saw and continue to see right through Kier and his Fabian Labour 'government'.

[Hananya Naftali @HananyaNaftali]

Even the UN admits it now!

A new UN report documents Hamas publicly executing, torturing, and maiming Palestinians in Gaza: blindfolded men shot in public squares, beatings with metal pipes, deliberately broken bones, and public punishments designed to spread fear.

For years, many tried to portray Hamas as freedom fighters. The reality is much simpler: Hamas terrorizes Israelis and Palestinians alike.

@JournalistJill The majority of women totally understandably want single sex areas and single sex sports, and there is gobshite fighting against women...

I look forward to hearing very vocal criticism from The Fawcett Society and UK Feminista.

[VDB @VDB1955]

May what drives him be treason? Orwell's "some ideas are so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them" is why he wallows in constant, wilful denial of reality. Kier cares, just not about you.

Kier talks Fabian Labour's version of Taqiyya: lies, damned lies, fudged statistics and Britain be damned.

Lammy's Ministry of Love will mimic the 1984 epicenter of the State's power, tasked with maintaining law, order, and loyalty to Big Brother through psychological manipulation, fear, and brutal torture.

At a sensible end of the planet is Nayib Bukele who removed corrupt judges (e.g. attorney general Raúl Melara) and jailed extremely violent gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18. As a result the homicide rate dropped significantly to roughly 1.9 per 100,000 people, making El Salvador statistically safer than many Western nations.

As I watch the video of the green but since wilted Lucas, I wonder, had she been stabbed in the eye and almost decapitated (and not Stephen Ogilvie), would she have prattled on like this ? In the absence of brave people protesting and taking corrective action, Ogilvie would have been dead. That was and is doing the right thing, not the far-right thing.

Lucas is Professor of Practice in Environmental Sustainability at the University of Sussex, based in the Sussex School for Progressive Futures... progressive futures = you're not allowed to say that not all cultures are equal, you're not allowed to protest on X or elsewhere about facilitators of illegal immigration, you're not allowed to vent anger about the horrific crimes resulting from a preventable cause.
