The most Green Party story I’ve ever read.
The Greens reparations officer, Antoinette Fernandez, who supports the idea of Britain paying trillions of pounds in slavery reparations, is descended from a Nigerian royal family that traded slaves.
One of them owned 1,400 slaves.
Digital IDs will not be used to catch illegal migrants, they will be used to continue the persecution of patriots.
If they wanted to catch illegal migrants then they would start doing ID checks in London, Birmingham and Bradford, but they won't.
Police will however use digital IDs to build a database of people who attend right of centre protests to enable further intimidation and bullying of attendees to discourage dissenting thought.
How long before you need digital IDs to purchase groceries and other essentials?
It's like Prevent all over again - they claimed it would tackle radical Islam, but used it to target British children who questioned the radical trans agenda or migrant crime.
Don't trust the socialists in government with increased power, they will only use it to oppress you.
CLUB STATEMENT
Grassroots Football Under Threat – Local Pitch Prices Now Completely Unsustainable
Plains Amateur Football Club is speaking out on behalf of ourselves and the wider grassroots football community in North Lanarkshire.
We are deeply concerned — and frankly outraged — by the latest astronomical price hikes for hiring local council-run 11-a-side astroturf pitches during so-called "peak times" (Monday to Thursday evenings). The cost for a two-hour slot now stands at a staggering £280.
📌 Add in our £360 monthly direct debit for training lets, and teams like ours are now facing monthly pitch hire costs of £800–£1000. That’s before you even factor in referees, league fees, kits, transport, and all the unseen volunteer work that keeps clubs running.
This is simply not sustainable for any grassroots football team — especially not those based in working-class communities like ours.
⚠️ Decisions Made by Those Detached From Reality
These pricing decisions are being made by directors and senior officials who have no connection to grassroots sport, no engagement with local clubs, and absolutely no understanding of the financial pressures facing community-run teams.
Once again, we’re seeing people on large public salaries — completely alien to working-class life — impose policies that will cripple community sport.
This is not just bad governance — it's sheer greed. They expect premium payments for facilities that, in many cases, are poorly maintained, outdated, and neglected.
🏴 A Pattern of Disrespect Toward Working-Class Sport
Let’s call it what it is: another example of the working class being priced out of spaces we built, sustained, and gave meaning to.
Grassroots football isn’t just a game. It’s a lifeline — for young people, for mental health, for social bonds, for building strong communities. These decisions risk destroying that, all in the name of squeezing a few extra pounds from the very people they should be supporting.
🤝 Time to Stand Together
We’re not staying silent and we don’t expect other clubs to either.
💬 We invite and encourage any local teams, coaches, committee members, or supporters who share our concerns to get in touch and stand with us. The more united our voice, the harder it is for those in power to ignore.
Plains Amateur Football Club.

This is a big reason why your taxes are going up this winter:
£1 billion on UK & UK/France costs for policing the small boats crisis
£6 billion on social housing subsidies for foreign-born
£7 billion to resettle 24,000 Afghans in the UK
£12 billion a year on Universal Credit for non-UK nationals
£15 billion on accommodation for refugees and asylum-seekers
£200-234 billion giving migrants Indefinite Leave to Remain
Oh, and £140 million translating English into other languages
We. Must. End. Mass. Immigration.
@NikitaBassiSNP He’s clearly not on about your parents immigration from the 70s/80s.
He’s talking about the boat loads of fighting age men, with no documents rocking up illegally in their hundreds everyday.
Men who are supposed asylum seekers who cannot legally work or contribute to society
