As a woman, I am not afraid to speak out anymore and say that this photo scares me.

Call me whatever you want.

This scares me more…

Neil Oliver explodes over the psychopathic bid to dim the sun.

‘I do wonder why so much money is being spent smothering the landscape with solar panels when the parallel plan is to diminish the energy available from the sun.’

The lunatics are running the asylum.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

It’s depressing to hear Farage echoing the same fearful rhetoric we’ve heard for decades. He states if we ‘politically alienate’ Islam ‘we will lose’ - he gives a year of 2050 for a ‘terrible state’ we’ll potentially be in. It’s this fatalistic, defeatist thinking that has crippled Western resolve for so many long years - cowardice led us into this mess, it will certainly not lead us out.

This is not a question of alienating individuals, or of disrespecting peaceful law-abiding Muslims. It’s about whether Western democracies still possess the confidence and the courage to robustly defend our values, in the same way Muslim countries do, or whether we must now shape our politics and our whole way of life in order to avoid offending a particular religion. I say we must not.

What does Farage mean when he says ‘we will lose’? If Western nations must compromise every political stance, censor honest debate, and soften our principles simply to avoid upsetting Islam, then we’ve already lost.

In just one example - we allow the brutally cruel non-stun slaughter of millions and millions of animals every year, tearing up decades of animal welfare legislation in order to respect religious ‘rights’. Why do we tolerate it? In Britain, we treat our animals with care and respect. Halal slaughter does not, and therefore should be banned. Will that happen? Of course not - all major political parties silently and glumly just accept it.

For far too long, crippling fear has dominated conversations around Islam. In the process, we have created a climate where genuine concerns about integration, extremism, and parallel societies/systems are dismissed as ‘racist’ or ‘Islamophobic’. We’ve all seen the very dark places where that bleak attitude can lead - it does not end well, at all.

Farage’s warning is not a new one - it’s a boring repetition of the same cowardice that has allowed countless European cities to change beyond recognition, for free speech to be radically undermined, and for our liberal values to be eroded away all in the name of ‘multiculturalism’.

I don’t want multiculturalism. We have a culture, and it works just fine. One that respects women, values free speech, rewards hard work and treats everyone equally under the law. We don’t need parallel systems or separate rules that directly clash with our way of life.

Our civilisation should not be held hostage by the cultural sensitivities of any belief system - especially one that, in its most politicised form, has already shown a total unwillingness to reciprocate the tolerance we have gifted to it. I would argue that in certain parts of the country, many followers of Islam have already ‘politically alienated’ themselves by electing openly sectarian MPs who are willing to reduce the rape gang scandal to a ‘false right-wing narrative’ and who hold infinitely more passion for Gaza than their own neglected constituencies. For many, their sympathies and loyalties simply lie elsewhere - a sad, but sobering fact.

Farage believes that the political cost of defending British values is too high, finding himself in emphatic agreement with the rotten establishment consensus. That’s his choice. My view? Our values are worth protecting, even if it’s politically inconvenient.

For decades, politicians from all parties have pathetically tiptoed around the integration debate, terrified of the vile backlash. My view? Maturity is finally needed, honesty is finally needed, courage is finally needed.

Because if Britain, and its MPs, won’t robustly and relentlessly defend its values, we will all lose far more than a debate.

[Breckland Council @BreckCouncil]

We want to hear your views on the Government’s plans for “Local Government Reorganisation” and “Devolution” in Norfolk. These plans could see the biggest change to local government in our area in 50 years and it’s vital that we know how residents and businesses feel about it.

[Dan Wootton @danwootton]

Enough. Enough. Enough.
Fight. Fight. Fight.
God bless those killed, maimed and injured.
This is no way for Europeans to live.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

A battle for the soul of the right is coming…Conservatives believe in competition. It’s one of our core principles.
To win we will need those who understand duty and sacrifice, who fight for others, not themselves or for recognition, true radicals, the smart and the very brave…

⭐️Thank you, Niall for having faith in me.

My party is beginning the process of renewal, and we will be offering HOPE to the country and beyond.

[Robbie Moore MP @_RobbieMoore]

Labour’s disastrous decision to industrialise highly productive agri land by approving 3 large solar farms in East England is hugely detrimental to our nation’s food security.

Once our fertile land is developed, it’s lost.

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

This Bill will address three key areas where the protection of women and wellbeing of children are threatened by an extreme ‘woke’ ideology and blind acceptance of a divisive agenda.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

I'm asking the Government to back this bill. It will protect single sex spaces, ban children from accessing hormone treatment and stop the state recognising social transitioning for under 18s.

Please like and repost if you'd like to see this bill become law.
