@energygovuk @CharlotteCGill @Miatsf This has all the vibes of a first year university project that invariably is a total failure except we are part of the experiment and are paying through the nose to be part of it.

The problem with bribing your route into government is that eventually everyone gets a handout and hardly anyone pays in!

Welfare spending across England is now £266.1 BILLION but …

Income Tax and NI receipts are only £213 BILLION.

That’s a £53 BILLION gap.

E.g. Birmingham, pays out £2.54 in welfare for every £1 it receives in those taxes.

Welfare is used as a political bribe in return for power. And as usual, the maths don’t work. 🤡

[Ben Carter @Benxc2]

Nope, it's a joke

[Benonwine @benonwine]

The honours system now is just a joke.

Do you still support the British honours system?

Who or what, one wonders, looks back at John Healey from the mirror?

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Britain doesn’t need an Iron Dome.

There are over 40,000 jihadists on the Terrorism Watchlist.

The enemy is within and getting worse as Iranian agents arrive by small boat.

Focus on deporting men who hate us.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

‼️ The UK is an absolute mess…

▪️People pouring in on boats, in lorries and flown in by the government secretly!

▪️government still handing out work visas for entry level jobs, whilst unemployment rises.

▪️Spiralling and out of control energy costs because of net zero policies, including subsidies for failing business plans.

▪️Jew hatred explained as necessary and valid.

▪️Trade union power being expanded which will cripple businesses.

▪️Over £150 BILLION pulled out of the country in two years.

▪️A government terrified of the Left while demonising anyone who disagrees as far right thugs.

▪️continued erosion of civil liberties.

▪️Prisoners being released early because the prisons are full.

▪️The right to choose trial by jury being removed for thousands of offences.

▪️Proposed greater control of the press and silencing of independent journalism.

▪️Age and identity checks proposed to get online.

▪️Towns restricted, so citizens can’t protest about illegal beach landings.

▪️Held to ransom by a foreign football club owner.

▪️Attacks on politicians dismissed as “dramatic fantasy”.

▪️Women’s rights hammered.

▪️Intimidation from the Left ignored. From the Right treated as dangerous.

▪️Government borrowing costs at levels not seen for decades.

▪️£110 BILLION a year just for interest payments on our debt.

▪️Councils requiring emergency financial support just to balance the books (even the one giving a 4 day week but laid as 5)

▪️important legislation against citizens passed by statutory instrument, with reduced Parliamentary scrutiny.

▪️Businesses facing higher costs, for net zero policies on carbon and packaging.

▪️farms collapsing. Farmers committing suicide.

▪️agricultural land and special interest sites used for solar, wind turbines and data centres.

▪️we have less than 42 days of diesel left and no refining facilities.

▪️The US now sees Britain as a failed ally, moving its fighter jets out.

▪️our armed forces are now smaller than the number of illegal migrants that have crossed since Labour took office.

▪️not one member of the cabinet has ever run or started their own business.

▪️Burnham seriously thinks Data centres, solar and wind turbines will generate RE industrialisation and create millions of jobs.

▪️£ BILLIONS wasted on foreign projects including building airports in Africa ( 🙄)

▪️ over 50% of the country now receives support money from the state

▪️we have the highest tax burden in 70 years. And the left think it should be higher.

▪️we have protests FOR the Iranian regime allowed on our streets but ban protests for Jesus.

▪️ our natural net growth was under 5000 births last year.

I could go on …. but you get the picture

And anyone pointing out this chaos is the problem … oh and they are far right thugs.

Andy say we just need Hope! We don’t need Hope, and he gave us some reduced bus fare! we need a MIRACLE.

People tell me I’m cynical. Really? From where I’m sat I’m a realist ‼️

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

You don’t go on holiday to Pakistan because it’s a shithole. You don’t go on holiday to Afghanistan, because it’s also a shithole. Why? Both countries have some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. The mountains, the lakes and the deserts would all be at the top of any travel agent’s recommendation usually. But they’re shitholes that nobody wants to go to and the reason is the people. The people make a country. The people are what makes a country wonderful or terrible and millions of the people from those countries are getting flown and shipped into Britain. Will they make Britain great? Nope; they’ll make it a shithole.

Les conditions inhumaines du lycée Nelson-Mandela, à Nantes. Il fallait le voir pour le croire.

Verrière, bois clair, nef de 26 000 m², énergie positive. Internat de 166 lits, chambres avec sanitaires, salles de travail, patio.
Deux gymnases et un mur d’escalade de 24 voies.
Sections internationales, BTS, prépa.

Facture d’origine : 52 à 64 millions d’euros, il y a douze ans.

Le genre d’établissement qui ferait pâlir 95 pourcents des lycées français.

Et c’est le lycée qu’on brûle, hall et verrière, au nom du manque de moyens.

Le Site est fermé jusqu’à la Toussaint, cours à distance, remise en état chiffrée en millions.

Les conditions étaient si inhumaines qu’il a fallu y mettre le feu pour les rendre visibles.

Mais de qui se moque-t-on ?

Arctic sea ice extent is highest for the date in the past twenty years. The Arctic melting scam has completely collapsed, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. 😀

This is bollocks from beginning to end

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

France is on fire and serves as a warning to Britain.

More than 600 arrested.

85 police and gendarmes wounded.

356 schools hit.

Masked rioters have torched schools, doused teachers in petrol and forced staff to barricade themselves inside.

In Nantes, the entrance hall of Nelson Mandela High School was burned out. 

In Marseille, staff at Victor Hugo High were doused with petrol during an arson attempt. 

Youths in balaclavas battered a fire engine until it caught fire.

Then cheered. 

A headteacher was hit by a mortar firework and taken to hospital. 

Shocking footage shows a policewoman chased and attacked.

Aerosol cans were piled up and detonated on one of Europe’s longest shopping streets in Bordeaux. 

Buses, trams and metros have been shut in Marseille, Strasbourg and Grenoble. 

The riots came after the left-wing mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, declared that “violence can be legitimate.” 

Britain has a far left that is emboldened and regularly calls for violence against their political opponents.

They (allegedly) murdered a beloved right-wing politician.

They are actively intimidating right-wing parties campaigning in the Holborn by-election.

With no consequences.

They are routinely aided by the state.

Remember the BLM riots?

The mob that toppled Edward Colston’s statue?

They were acquitted after arguing that the *statue itself* constituted a hate crime.

The Tories allowed the far left to act violently with impunity.

Labour is emboldening them further.

Unless we have political leaders brave enough to stand up to these people and take action, scenes like the ones in France will come to Britain too.

Britain needs Reform.

[أبو عمّار @MaajidNawaz]

This is a shallow argument from someone who considers themselves rather smart.

“Japan” is not an ethnicity. It is a country.

The majority ethnicity in Japan (98%) is called Yamato, *not* “Japanese”.

This is like confusing the majority Han ethnicity in China for the word “Chinese”.

Yes, you may do this colloquially, but you may not confuse the actual substance.

Just like the majority ethnicity in the *country* of England is Anglo-Saxon/Celtic.
Colloquially, you may use “English” as shorthand to refer to your ethnicity. But you may not simultaneously erase England as a country too, which thereby provides for a civic “English” identity.

We will not surrender our country to such racial jingoism.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All the idiots fawning over Burnham’s speech and THIS is the reality.

Billions, literally billions, added to our debt repayment because he wants to borrow and spend and say touching things about his dad.

We need a leader prepared to take tough decisions to save us.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Your reminder that the BBC is still allowed to operate freely in Russia,
but all Russian state and anti-NATO media organisations and journalists have been thrown out of the UK.
Which is the free country?

As an expert on Islam, I think the Muslim Shabana Mahmood is a security threat to Britain's existence.

[Mayuran Senthilnathan 🇬🇧 @MayuranSenthil]

I think the summary of this @UKLabour conference is that:

Hope does not include controlled borders

Hope is very very expensive

There is no money to pay for Hope.

[jjinUK64 @JjinUk64]

It's rather odd for young men from some of London's most pricey postcodes to hire vans, put fake signage on them, then drive all the way to Gloucestershire to steal some diesel?

Additionally, if you're diesel thieves skulking about in balaclavas at 1am, what was the purpose of putting fake fuel company logos on the vans? ...surely you'd not want to mention fuel, whilst stealing fuel?

And why brand the vans like that to steal diesel (ie. you maybe thought the branding might help you look like you're moving diesel legitimately) ...but then also do this at 1am, running around the bushes in balaclavas?

And WHY for the love of god, if you fancy a long-haul jolly to steal some diesel with you mates, WHY would you pick the location of a heavily surveilled USAF / RAF base??

None of it really makes sense, there must be some pretty large chunks of info we are missing here.

[Dave Rubin @RubinReport]

50+ Muslim countries could all take some Palestinians to “save” them, yet won’t absorb any.

Meanwhile in the UK they’re ushering them in.

Failed country.

[Ben Carter @Benxc2]

Hardly a surprise though

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Totally in defiance of the wishes of the British people - remember them?
What a disappointment Shabana Mahmood turned out to be.

[Ben Carter @Benxc2]

It's incomprehensible

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

In the last 24 hours of two-tier Britain, the Prime Minister risked prejudicing Danny Tommo’s court case by calling him a “racist”. He’s been denied bail.

Meanwhile, the 5 RAF base terror suspects have been released on bail despite a “major incident” being declared, and Burnham is refusing to comment.

It looks insane on the face of it.
