There’s no doubt that standards have been lowered in today’s world.

In how a man speaks, dresses, and carries himself.

This is The Ways of a Gentleman.

I write about raising those standards and leading by example.

Give me a follow if you believe this still matters.

When the owner of Wrightbus – a man who rescued a manufacturer and now employs 2,500 people in Northern Ireland – says Britain is heading for “terminal decline” under Labour’s anti‑enterprise mindset, you listen.

He’s not a think‑tank foghorn; he’s the guy signing the payslips in exactly the sort of “left‑behind” community Labour claims to care about. Bamford is spelling out what corporate Britain already knows: a government that doesn’t understand business, hates profit and treats entrepreneurs as cash cows will slowly starve the country of jobs, investment and taxpayers.

You either create an environment where people like him want to build the next Wrightbus – or you manage the slow death of the towns that depend on them.

Labour is choosing the latter.

Starmer is finished, but it doesn’t matter who takes over. The core governing principle will remain foreigners first, British people last.
The invasion will continue. The rapes and stabbings will continue.
Nothing will change until we have a general election.

He's not wrong. It's going to take some good men to do bad things to right this course we are on.

[Matthew Marsden @matthewdmarsden]

The more I think about it, the more I think that there are only two options for the UK.

Either things continue as they are, and the country will devolve into a lawless, segregated hell hole, or mass deportations will return it to something like its previous glory.

Either way, there's a bumpy ride ahead.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Fearless British TV presenter Alex Phillips unleashed on Prime Minister Keir Starmer after a 17-year-old was stabbed in the neck in Brierfield, Lancashire:

“How many more stabbings and rapes before you actually do something?!”

This is the brutal reality of Britain under Starmer.

Enough is enough.

Britain must immediately deport all illegal immigrants. France is not a war zone. These people are not refugees — they are economic migrants seeking benefits, not asylum.

Our police are vile, what is happening to our country manhandling a five year boy, while his dad is getting pepper sprayed on the ground. And then pushing a mother holding a baby who is trying to comfort her son. I don't recognise this country under Labour. 🥺

[Pat Condell @patcondell]

The British people are in the absurd position of having to defend their country from their own politicians.

Hillary Benn says there would have been no point in vetting the Sudanese knife-attack suspect when he arrived in Belfast, as past behaviour can’t predict the future. The British state doesn’t give a damn about the public’s safety, says Owen Shapell

In 1985 Mercedes introduced 4Matic in the W124 E-class
The first all-wheel drive system ever fitted to a Mercedes passenger car.
It was developed in conjunction with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, who built the G-Class in Austria and brought their off-road AWD expertise to a family estate.
The system was permanently rear-wheel drive, with the front axle automatically engaging when the electronics detected wheelspin - three modes in total, from pure rear-wheel drive through a 35/65 front/rear split to a fully locked 50/50 arrangement for extreme conditions.
The 300TE underneath was already one of the most complete estates on sale
The M104 3.0L straight-six, self-levelling rear suspension as standard, and the overbuilt W124 body that Mercedes was still making at full cost with no compromise.
Adding 4Matic made it heavier and more complex, but it also made it the most capable all-weather estate available at the time.
A W124 estate is already a collectible.
The 4Matic version is the one most people don't know to look for.

The E23 7 Series launched in 1977 and it was the first time BMW had a genuine answer to the Mercedes S-Class.
Before it, BMW built large saloons but nothing that directly challenged Mercedes at the very top of the market.
The E23 changed that - and it did it by bringing features into production that the industry had never seen in a single car before.
The E23 was the first BMW fitted with a service interval indicator, a check control panel alerting the driver to system faults, and a complex dual-zone climate control system.
On-board computers and ABS were optional on early cars and later became standard.
Power seats, heated seats, electric windows and mirrors, and a driver's airbag on later US market cars. A dictaphone was available as a factory option.
Every single one of those features is now standard on every BMW sold today.
The 735i used the legendary M30 3.5L straight-six - 218 HP, rear-wheel drive, available with a five-speed manual or a 4 speed automatic.
Not just a great 80s BMW.
The car that established what a BMW flagship is supposed to be.
Competitors at the time: Mercedes W116, Jaguar XJ Series III.

In the UK you will get called a racist for being stabbed by a migrant and then bothered by a 4'9 female cop for the crime of staying the same spot for 120 seconds.

How did you guys go from owning the world to being a diversity toilet country so fast?

[The Mercian @TheMercianNews]

🚨 BREAKING: Former Armed Forces Minister Al Carns has slammed the Labour party's witch-hunts against British veterans who fought in Northern Ireland.

"Who is this playing to? It is playing to Republican Sinn Fein. They lost the war through physical means and now they're trying to achieve it through political means. I don't want to see anybody rewrite history to see Britain as in the wrong. We were in the right."

Alfa Romeo SZ convertible at the London Concours on Wednesday. One of those cars that aesthetically shouldn’t work, but absolutely does. Striking, aggressive and brutal with attitude to burn.

The mainstream media constantly distorts what I say. You can no longer rely on them to report the truth.

That’s why I’ve decided to speak to you directly and launch my essays to Britain. ✍️

A trouble free Lagonda is like the actor playing Obelix being skinny, it's hard to imagine today. It might have had a positive impact on his health, but would it have been better overall? I doubt it.

Sometimes I get the impression that the unreliable image has helped some models in some way, giving them a slightly crime thriller like aura. People who buy these cars are happy to have such a challenge.

Of course, I'm referring to people who own this car today. When it was new, its first owners generally expected it to work, but things were different, especially with cars from the beginning of this series.

I deliberately write "this series" because the iconic Lagonda is formally a second series, a second generation. The problem is that the first series looked like a completely different car like other Aston Martins and it's been forgotten.

I don't know if this car would be perceived better or worse today if it were trouble free, but I have a feeling that the combination of its unique appearance and the aura of the world's most unreliable car is its identity.

I sometimes wonder what the history of this car would have been like if it hadn't broken down? It’s likely a successor would have appeared, which means that the Lagonda in this form might have been produced for a shorter period.

That's why, in some way, I'm glad it is as it is, because I don't know what the alternative version would have been. Under the hood, these cars were powered by 5,3 V8 engines, this example dates from 1984. Here's the link to the ad:

SURFER (1999), the iconic Guinness ad directed by Jonathan Glazer, remains one of the greatest commercials ever made.

A stunning blend of black-and-white cinematography and surreal imagery that feels closer to a short film than an advertisement.

This week a man from Pakistan was sentenced for raping a ‘particularly vulnerable’ girl in Nottingham. He had previously lived in Germany and France and yet still we gave the scumbag ‘asylum’. What the hell are we doing?, asks Brendan O’Neill
