Had a blast performing a cha cha on stage at the Lamproom Theatre, Barnsley. Little pre show pose.

@AvonandsomerRob My 2 grandsons(5&3) have very limited screentime and are encouraged to spend time learning, being creative and playing family games and both their parents are constantly praised for how well their children behave.

So apparently Keir Starmer has discovered a brand-new political principle:

Greenland is for Greenlanders.
Clear. Simple. Applauded. No confusion. No footnotes. No crying into soy lattes.

But Britain being for the British?
That idea must be escorted out by security and put on a watchlist.

The hypocrisy isn’t subtle anymore — it’s doing cartwheels in a clown suit.

Every other country on Earth is allowed to say,
“This is ours. We decide who comes in. We prioritise our people.”
When Britain says the same thing, the political class reacts like someone’s just let off a fart in Westminster Abbey.

Suddenly it’s “complex.”
Suddenly it’s “divisive.”
Suddenly it’s “dangerous rhetoric.”

Funny how sovereignty is brave when it’s 2,000 miles away and frozen solid, but hateful when it’s raining in Doncaster.

We’re told Britain belongs to “everyone” — which is remarkable, because the only people who never seem to come first are the British.
Our wages stagnate.
Our services collapse.
Our towns rot.
And if we ask why, we’re told we need more “compassion”… from people who’ve never had to use the systems they’ve broken.

It’s the only country where wanting your nation to function for its own citizens is treated like a psychological disorder.
“Have you tried not noticing?”
“Have you tried being quieter?”
“Have you tried apologising harder?”

Greenlanders get self-determination.
Brits get self-loathing — with mandatory training.

And the best bit?
They’ll say “Britain is a nation of immigrants” with a straight face, while living in gated bubbles, sending their kids to schools with waiting lists longer than NHS queues, and hiring private everything so they never experience the consequences of their own sermons.

They don’t run a country.
They run a moral theatre, where ordinary people pay for the tickets and aren’t allowed to clap unless told.

Honestly, if irony were lethal, this government would have wiped itself out by now.
Greenland is for Greenlanders — but Britain?
Britain’s apparently a shared workspace with no HR, no limits, and a gas bill nobody’s allowed to question.

🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Let’s stop pretending the UK–US “special relationship” has collapsed because Britain has somehow lost its mind. It hasn’t. The British people haven’t changed. What’s changed is the government — and everyone in Washington knows it.

America doesn’t distrust Britain.
America distrusts who’s running it.

The UK today is a country with two faces: a public that still believes in loyalty, fairness, borders, and turning up when it matters — and a political class, led by the Labour Party, that can’t even agree on whether Britain itself is something to be proud of.

Labour didn’t inherit a divided country — they weaponised the division. They built an entire governing philosophy around grievance, moral lectures, and permanent apologies. Every policy sounds like it’s been written by a committee terrified of being shouted at on social media. Strength replaced by statements. Leadership replaced by “ongoing reviews.”

From the US point of view — especially someone like Donald Trump — this is fatal. America respects clarity. Loyalty. Knowing where you stand. You don’t have to agree with them, but you do have to mean what you say. And right now Britain’s government doesn’t mean anything long enough to be trusted with it.

Washington looks at Britain and doesn’t see a weak people. It sees a strong country being run by people who don’t like it very much.

And yes, cue Hugh Grant in Love Actually, standing tall and telling the US that Britain may be small, but it stands for what’s right. Great scene. Goosebumps. Absolute nonsense in 2026.

If that speech were delivered now, the cue cards would read:
   •   “We condemn, but won’t act.”
   •   “We’re considering our position.”
   •   “We don’t want to be seen to take sides.”

That’s not diplomacy — that’s cowardice with a press office.

The US hasn’t fallen out with Britain. It’s simply learned to bypass the government and quietly wait for the adults to come back. They trust the British public. They trust British soldiers. British workers. British instincts. What they don’t trust is a leadership class that confuses moral posturing with strength and thinks national credibility is something you can workshop.

So yes, the relationship is still special — just not official anymore. It lives in shared history, shared sacrifice, and shared common sense. It survives despite the government, not because of it.

Britain isn’t broken.
It’s being badly managed.
And America knows the difference

I have spent all of my life enjoying a drink. Don't get me wrong I can take it or leave it but this year found myself drinking more and more. A few weeks ago I decided to give my body a rest from alcohol in readiness for the Xmas period. 8 weeks later and still not had a drink.

Let’s stop pretending this is complicated.

Shamima Begum didn’t make a silly teenage error — she chose to leave the UK and join ISIS. By 2015, everyone knew exactly what ISIS was: mass murder, slavery, terror. She went anyway. That decision matters.

This isn’t about hate. It’s about consequences.

The government already does a poor job of protecting our borders and the people who live here. Illegal immigration is out of control, enforcement is weak, and ordinary Brits are told to accept it as inevitable. Against that backdrop, the idea that someone who voluntarily joined a terrorist organisation might be allowed back feels like another slap in the face.

Citizenship isn’t a safety net you crawl back under when your choices collapse. It comes with responsibilities — and siding with a death cult that murdered civilians forfeits those privileges.

National security isn’t theoretical. Bringing people like this back means surveillance, court costs, police time — all while the state struggles to deal with illegal arrivals it already can’t manage properly.

And the precedent matters. If this door opens, others will follow. The message becomes: go, radicalise, regret it later — the system will bend.

A country that can’t control who comes in must at least be firm about who doesn’t come back.

That’s not cruelty.
That’s common sense.

When you can’t sleep 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Once upon a time, Britannia ruled the waves.
Not politely. Not with a focus group.
We ruled them with wooden ships, bad dentistry, and a stubborn belief that tea could solve most international disputes.

Were we perfect?
God no.
But we tried. We explored, we built, we argued, we occasionally put the wrong flag in the wrong country and then stayed for 200 years out of embarrassment. It was chaotic, bold, occasionally disastrous — but it had backbone.

Fast-forward to modern Britain.

We no longer rule the waves.
We can barely rule a WhatsApp group.

Our ships are gone, our steelworks are museums, and our national identity is now decided by celebrities who think history began in 2016 and anything before that needs cancelling, apologising for, or remade with a ukulele.

Once, boys wanted to be sailors, soldiers, engineers.
Now they want man buns, podcasts, and to explain to you — loudly — why actually Churchill was problematic while they’ve never fixed so much as a leaking tap.

Our heroes used to be explorers.
Now they’re influencers.

We conquered continents; now we struggle with bin collections and are emotionally devastated by plastic straws.

Britannia once stood on the prow of the world, trident raised, daring the oceans to have a go.
Now she’d be forced to step down for using the word “prow” without checking if boats still identify as boats.

And God forbid you mention pride.
Not the Instagram kind — the old-fashioned sort.
The kind where you stand up straight, do your job properly, and don’t need a panel show to tell you how to feel about it.

We’ve gone from “Rule, Britannia!”
to “Sorry, Britannia, have you considered everyone else’s feelings?”

From empire to emoji.
From shipyards to hashtags.
From stiff upper lip to emotional support water bottles.

And yet — here’s the punchline.

That Britain didn’t quietly go underground.
It aged out.

Gen X was the last generation to remember a country before it started apologising for existing. They were raised by people who lived through war, rationing, rebuilding — and they understood, even if imperfectly, that history isn’t something you delete because it makes you uncomfortable.

But even Gen X wasn’t spared.
Some of them climbed straight into celebrity status and promptly set fire to the ladder behind them, lecturing the rest of us about virtue while living in gated irony with a Netflix deal.

Anyone after that?
Raised on screens, slogans, and selective outrage.
Taught nothing of Britain’s story except the worst footnotes — stripped of context, pride, or balance — until all that’s left is a vague shame they can’t explain and a culture they don’t feel part of.

It’s not rebellion.
It’s ignorance with confidence.

A hive mind fed by social media, celebrity talking points, and the belief that repeating the “right” opinion is the same as thinking. No curiosity, no grounding, no sense of continuity — just vibes, hashtags, and a permanent state of offence.

They don’t hate Britain.
They just don’t know it.
And you can’t love, protect, or improve something you’ve never been taught to understand.

So no — the old Britain isn’t quietly ticking along beneath the surface.
It’s being actively overwritten, rebranded, and memory-holed by people who think history began with them and ends with their feelings.

We didn’t lose an empire overnight.
We lost the story of who we were —
and replaced it with a loud, empty performance of who we’re told to be.

And that, my friends….
isn’t decline by accident.
It’s decline by design

Prime Minister,

I write this not as a politician, not as a party loyalist, and certainly not as someone reciting a manifesto — but as a proud, ordinary British citizen who loves this country more than any flag-waving speech in Westminster ever could.

Across our towns, cities, villages, and forgotten communities, there is a growing truth that should shake every seat of power in Westminster:

The British people do not want a war with Russia.

We are a nation that has stood against tyranny, defended freedom across continents, and paid the ultimate price time and time again. Our history is written in courage, sacrifice, and the quiet strength of working people who never asked for applause — only honesty, fairness, and leadership worthy of their loyalty.

But today, the mood of the nation is changing.
Not because we have grown weak.
Not because we lack compassion.
But because Britain itself is hurting, and the government’s priorities seem to drift further from the people who keep this country alive.

Our Battles Are at Home

Families are rationing heating.
Workers are stretched to breaking point.
Public services are fraying.
Communities are exhausted.
And the very people who carry this country on their backs feel increasingly forgotten.

How can a nation fight on the world stage when its own foundations are cracking beneath it?

Patriotism is not sending British sons and daughters into unnecessary danger.
Patriotism is protecting the nation they call home.

We Have Given Enough

Britain stepped up for Ukraine — financially, militarily, diplomatically.
Nobody can deny that.
But endless support without a clear end, without limits, without accountability, is not strength.
It is recklessness disguised as virtue.

A good ally knows when to offer help.
A good leader knows when their own house needs repairing first.

Bring Our People Home

Our servicemen and women are not political chess pieces.
They are the beating heart of this nation’s courage.
And every one of them deserves to come home alive, not be placed in the shadow of a conflict that Britain must not escalate.

The British Public Are Not Asking — They Are Telling You

With every conversation in a pub, every break room chat, every grumble on the train home, the same truth emerges:

This nation has no appetite for another foreign war.
Not now. Not with our own country under strain.
Not for political theatre or moral grandstanding.

This isn’t isolationism.
This is survival, sovereignty, and common sense — qualities Britain was once famous for.

A Patriotic Plea

Prime Minister, listen to the heartbeat of the nation you serve.
Not to party donors, not to think tanks, not to the noise of Parliament —
but to the people who stand when the anthem plays, who work through hardship without complaint, who believe in the quiet dignity of this country.

We are asking for:
   •   Restraint, not escalation
   •   Safety for our personnel
   •   A renewed focus on our own struggling nation
   •   Leadership rooted in British common sense, not political fashion

The British people have done more than enough.
We have given more than enough.
And now, with calm determination and unwavering patriotism, we say:

Bring our people home.
Fix our country first.
And keep Britain out of a war it does not want, does not need, and must not be dragged into.

So many times I hear men go on about how they are struggling with there mental health and have always thought just grow a pair you wuss. Well now I know how they feel. At he weekend I took myself away with a plan to not come back. Thankfully a stranger intervened.

@models_by_Russ The world has gone crazy. My ballroom teacher now has to ask before she is allowed to touch me( to move my head or body position). I've told her that she has my permission to touch me wherever she pleases at will and doesn't need permission each time.
