@KikiF_7 Dear America - can you even find Scotland on a map?

@BillboardChris @ConceptualJames Neither is acceptable.

@BBCNews Too young to use social media (soon) but old enough to stop your body's development. Welcome to the insane logic of Labour.

Britain is not the same.
The lockdowns in 2020-2021 did not merely pause life; they rewrote its rules. What began as a 3 week ‘flatten the curve’ shield against a virus became a slow, grinding experiment in how much freedom, community and common sense a nation could surrender before something essential broke. And something broke.

Children spent the Covid era incarcerated away from education and friends, robbing them of early learning and social skills.

The elderly were often isolated alone behind closed doors.

The economy did not bounce back; it collapsed. Small shops and pubs that defined high streets vanished, replaced by the cold efficiency of multinational corporation platforms that never close and never employ or circulate money locally.

Debt piled upon debt while the government discovered new appetites for control and new excuses for spending.

The cost of living has continued since the Covid era. This is restricting the ability of millions people live their lives with fulfilment and prosperity.

Young people who should have been building their lives instead watched house prices and rents climb beyond reach, their wages eaten by inflation that the same institutions that locked them down now lecture them to accept as normal.

Most quietly devastating was the loss of something harder to measure: the unthinking assumption that Britain was still a free country in the old, stubborn sense. That an individual could decide for themselves whether to open their business, hug their loved ones, or send their child to school. That the state existed to serve the people, not to rule them or decide freedoms.

The habit of deference to authority, once a quiet British strength, became a dangerous reflex. Dissent was reframed as danger. Questions were treated as something to be cancelled or punished. And when the restrictions finally lifted, the psychological damage remained, like scaffolding left standing long after the building had collapsed because of unnecessary repairs.

Britain survived the Blitz. It endured rationing, deindustrialisation, recessions, and every political crisis of the modern era. But the lockdowns were different. They did not ask for national pride, courage or endurance. They asked for obedience and isolation, and they received both in abundance. The Britain that emerged since the Covid era is more anxious, more divided, more dependent, and less certain of what it still believes.

The question is not whether we can go back. We cannot. The question is whether we will remember what was taken and refuse to let it happen again, or whether we will grow tragically conditioned to a less confident, subdued, more frightened version of ourselves that the lockdowns left behind.

Britain is not the same.
The only choice left is what we decide to become instead - and ideally, reboot our national confidence. But I’m not hopeful of this. The Covid era broke something in Britain. You can feel it still lingering. And ultimately, only we can try and resolve this. We need to rebuild our national confidence and stand up to the governments who continue to try and keep us in forms of restrictive confinement under their control. No one voted for this. And it’s time to do something about it before it’s too late.

Why are they obsessed with flags?

@TrisOsborneMP So you've deported them, have you?

Bullshit

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

@AvaLovelaceX The chemical castration of troubled children isn't healthcare. Kind of cringe how many fetishists are still trying to use kids as a born-in-the-wrong-body fig leaf.

@jk_rowling @AvaLovelaceX So if a skeletal anorexic girl walked into her doctor and said she was hideously fat, the doctor should prescribe liposuction?

@MarcherReborn Has to be the chant... 😄

@JacquesHughesUK @EssexPR All public sector organisations use a VPN to connect to the business' network.

NB none of this will happen because this government knows less about technology than it does about free speech.

[Guido Fawkes @GuidoFawkes]

A year ago Guido reported Labour would go after VPNs.

The government's breezy dismissal was written up by the press.

Eleven months later Liz Kendall says she will come back with new restrictions on VPNs as British policy to ban half of the internet falls apart. #carcrash

@crentist_dds @SartorialThug I've just spent 8 days in Vienna and Berlin. European food isn't all they think it is (e g. German "potatoes").
