@Osint613 Starmer has got about 50 things wrong since he became PM

The only one Burnham thinks he screwed up on is not hating Jews enough.

He’s happy with everything else from the winter fuel allowance to waspi women.

He is fast becoming Wanker of the North.

A 65 year old Welshwoman lied about her age to get INTO a war. 👵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚔️

She told the enrolment office she was 55. The truth meant instant rejection, and she was going to that war. 🇬🇧

Her name was Betsi Cadwaladr, a farmer preacher's daughter from Bala, 1 of 16 children. At 14 she ran away. By 31 she was a maid aboard a merchant ship, nursing the sick and delivering babies at sea, from the West Indies to Australia.

In her 60s, nursing at Guy's Hospital, she read the reports from the Alma. Wounded men, and no one to nurse them. So she wrote 55 in the register and sailed.

Britain had already sent its most famous nurse. Florence Nightingale. Betsi had never met her and already did not like the name.

Kept waiting at Scutari with nothing to do, she stood before the most famous woman in Britain and asked for Balaclava, the rough harbour hospital at the edge of the war. Nightingale warned her that beyond Scutari she could not protect her.

She went.

She dressed wounds that had waited days for a hand, then ran the kitchen for men too weak to stomach army rations. Almost alone. 5 in the morning to midnight. 7 days a week. For more than 7 months.

The men were fed. She was spent. Dysentery broke her, and Britain shipped her home. The 2 women never warmed to each other, but Nightingale acknowledged what she had done.

She died in 1860 in a shared pauper's grave. No stone. No name.

Then in 2009 Wales formed its largest health organisation and gave it her name. Betsi Cadwaladr. It stands over the care of the whole north of Wales. In 2012 her grave finally got its stone: the faithfullest of Her Majesty's Nurses.

She never asked to be remembered. She only asked for the front. That is a Welshwoman worth being proud of, and putting names like hers back is the work we do.

🚨 BATLEY - YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE JUST MOVED IN.

A convicted al-Qaeda terrorist linked to the 7/7 London bombings that murdered 52 innocent Brits is now being released straight into Batley, West Yorkshire.

His name: Haroon Aswat.

This is the man who plotted jihadist training camps, had direct ties to the London attackers, boasted about masterminding terror - and was still considered a national security risk even after years locked up.

Now, thanks to the system, he’s free to walk our streets.

Batley residents - this man is NOT welcome on our streets, in our shops, or near our families.

Stand up. Be loud. Make it crystal clear.

We remember 7/7.

We remember the blood on his hands. We will never forget what he played a part in.

Protect your town.

Share this far and wide. Tag your councillors. Make noise.

Batley says NO.

On this day in 1760: British squadron under Cptn. John Byron defeats French squadron under Francois Chenard de La Giraudais in the Bay of Chaleur, Gulf of Saint Lawrence, during the Battle of Restigouche.

The Battle of Restigouche (1760) was the final major naval battle between France and Britain in North America during the Seven Years' War. It took place on the Restigouche River in present-day Quebec and New Brunswick.

After the fall of Quebec in 1759, France sent ships carrying supplies and reinforcements to help defend New France. However, the British Royal Navy intercepted the convoy. French forces, supported by Acadian and Mi'kmaq militias, retreated upriver and set up defensive barriers and shore batteries to slow the British advance.

Despite determined resistance, the British eventually broke through the defenses. To prevent the capture of valuable supplies, the French scuttled their flagship, Le Machault, and another supply ship. Although the British could not land due to strong resistance from the militias, the destruction of the French fleet ended any realistic chance of France resupplying or retaining its North American colonies.

The defeat contributed directly to the fall of Montreal later that year and marked the collapse of French rule in Canada. It was also the last major military action involving the Acadian and Mi'kmaq militias before peace agreements with the British. Today, the battlefield is preserved as the Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site of Canada, where artifacts and exhibits commemorate the conflict.

[Paul Rees. ex Rucksack. @HannahIamthest1]

True story.
Woman of the Day Julia Pirie born OTD 1918 Warwickshire, MI5 agent for 20 years. Cover story: typist. Her unassuming demeanour and matronly appearance masked a sharp intellect. When Barcelona police raided her flat in the 1970s (she was keeping tabs on the IRA at the time), she convinced them she was just a harmless English spinster.

In WW2, Julia joined the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry which provided women agents for the Special Operations Executive.

After the war, MI5 asked her to infiltrate the Communist Party of Great Britain as a typist. She became personal assistant to the General Secretary, accompanying him to regular meetings behind the Iron Curtain. The fact that she usually tried to avoid these "dreary" visits to the Eastern Bloc only reinforced her cover. Julia would pass regular reports and photocopies to her MI5 handlers during cricket matches at The Oval. It wasn’t a hardship; she enjoyed cricket.

In the 1970s, she was instructed to resign her Communist Party post and take on a new mission: collecting intelligence on the Provisional IRA during several missions in Europe.

Posing as a modest, elderly English spinster sightseeing abroad, Julia followed the Provisional IRA through several European countries collecting information about them, before renting a flat in Barcelona immediately below the one used as an IRA safe house and temporary storage for gold bullion supplied by Gaddafi. The whole operation was put at risk when Barcelona armed police mistakenly raided her flat, but she coolly maintained her cover and persuaded them they had the wrong person.

In the 1990s, after retiring from active operations, Julia lectured to groups of MI5 trainees and the police.

And the best bit? Until her death in September 2008 at the age of 90, the Communist Party continued to pay her pension each month from a bank in Italy.

There’s no known photo of her. Did you really think there would be?

[Miss Jo @therealmissjo]

Simply appalling. There are no other words to describe this.

We are told that the UK should bring in qualified people from Africa and India to work in care homes. Not sure that this is going to work out well for our elderly.

Bilikesu Olagunju arrived in the UK in late 2022 from Nigeria, on a Health and Care Worker visa. Nobody knows what she did for 2 whole years but she did not start work until late 2024.

Her first job started in December 2024, when she was employed as an agency carer for John Attard, an 88 year old dementia patient from Bexley, Kent.

6 days into this first job, on Christmas Eve, this video was captured on CCTV installed by John’s son.

The video shows her dragging the frail elderly man across the floor, roughly stripping him in front of the window, shouting at him that she will “flog” him. He cries repeatedly that he is being hurt but she ignores him.

John was diabetic but she deliberately put marmalade into his coffee, she refused to let him eat food, spilled a hot drink on him.

After her visit, John was found unresponsive and rushed to hospital.

He did not wake up again and died 10 days later.

So what happened to Olagunju?

She pleaded guilty to neglecting a person lacking mental capacity.

Judge Charlotte Welsh sentenced her to 6 weeks in prison (suspended for 18 months) and 50 hours of unpaid work.

That is it.

Judge Welsh said that the sentence was appropriate because Olagunju had “recently arrived from abroad”.

But at least Olagunju was deported…

No. She did not lose her carer’s work visa, she was not deported and she did not spend a day in prison.

Where is she today?

In the UK, last known to be working in a hospital with stroke patients. Yes, you read that right.
