When times are tough with dogs I look back to previous battles we have somehow won.
Billy was smacked over the head and had PTSD for weeks. Look at him now In his forever home In Singapore.
The happiest little man ever ❤️
Trzy razy sprawdzałem, bo nie mogłem uwierzyć, że to jest prawdziwe.
Ze strony internetowej Czerwonego Krzyża zniknął film pod tytułem "Game of Life: The Story of Sharif", opowiadający o losach Sharifa Ahmadzaia, imigranta z Afganistanu, który jako dziecko dopłynął do Grecji i od razu został aresztowany przez policję. Animacja utrzymana jest w konwencji rzewnej historyjki o dyskryminacji i trudnościach, z jakimi musiał zmagać się nasz biedny imigrant w drodze do Europy.
Dlaczego Czerwony Krzyż usunął film? Bo kilka dni temu gruchnęło info, że ten sam Sharif Ahmadzai zamordował szkocką proimigrancką aktywistkę i wolontariuszkę, Elisabeth-Jane Ross: pobił ją, udusił, a zwłoki upakował do walizki i porzucił w melinie pod Atenami. Ciało kobiety odnaleziono po tygodniu w zaawansowanym stanie rozkładu.
Czaicie to? Imigranci nie ułatwiają pracy zwolennikom ideologii otwartych granic. Nawet filmu propagandowego nie mogą już nakręcić, bo ich bohater za kilka lat kogoś zabije.
🚨📉THE SLOW DEATH OF BRITAIN:
We have shit water companies so we buy bottled water.
We have rubbish police so we hire private security.
We have terrible healthcare so we pay private hospitals instead.
Airbnbs in Cornwall pay council tax but get no rubbish collection, so they pay Biffa on top.
An awful lot of firemen are now volunteers.
NHS dentists don’t really work anymore, so you go private or you pull it out yourself.
Our roads are littered with potholes nobody fills. Your privately funded tyres and suspension are the collateral.
You are forced under threat of criminal prosecution to fund the BBC, and it’s so bad you pay for streaming to get news or entertainment anyway.
Your bins are collected fortnightly, so you drive to the tip. The tip now requires a booking, a permit and proof you live in the county.
Garden waste is a separate annual subscription. On top of the council tax that used to cover it.
Your GP surgery is an 8am phone lottery, so you pay £40 to an app to speak to a doctor in a different time zone.
CAMHS has a two year waiting list, so parents remortgage for private assessments.
Your child’s SEN provision is a legal entitlement, so you hire a solicitor to sue the council for it. The council spends more fighting you than the support would have cost.
Physio is a forty week wait. Your back does not have forty weeks.
Schools teach in portable cabins bolted to the playground because the actual building is held up by aerated concrete and hope.
Half of them are technically insolvent.
Parents fund the reading books, the glue sticks, the photocopier, the roof and increasingly the teachers wages - all via a PTA raffle and local fundraisers.
The state offers “free” childcare hours that don’t cover the nursery’s costs, so the nursery bills you a “top up fee” for the free thing.
Shoplifting under £200 is functionally legal, so Tesco hires guards - who crucially don’t even try to stop it - and you pay for them in the price of the milk.
999 takes an hour, so you buy the Ring doorbell, gather the evidence, file the report and get a crime number for the insurance you also pay for.
Court backlogs run to years, so anyone with money settles privately and everyone else gets nothing.
Legal aid is gone. Represent yourself.
Passport and DVLA backlogs are chronic, so the state sells you a fast track service to escape the queue the state created.
The trains are late whoever owns them, so you drive on the roads with the potholes.
Public toilets are shut, so you buy a coffee you don’t want.
The library is staffed by pensioners working for free.
Street lights are switched off at midnight to save money in a country with a burglary charge rate near zero.
You pay National Insurance for fifty years and they move the pension age.
You pay the adult social care precept every year and then sell your mother’s house to pay for adult social care.
Leaseholders pay for a “waking watch” because the state signed off the cladding and then billed the residents to fix it.
Social housing sits on the most valuable land in Britain, allocated by need rather than proximity to work, 48% of zone 1 social housing is occupied by foreigners mostly welfare dependent - while the nurses, teachers and other workers who keep zone 1 running commute ninety minutes each way from Kent because we stopped building anything in 1979.
Every one of these is a service you have already bought. The receipt is your payslip.
The tax burden is heading for its highest sustained level since the 1940s. The service level is the worst in living memory.
You are not overtaxed or underserved. You are actually BOTH, simultaneously, and the gap between the two is where your standard of living went.
The state has become a subscription you cannot cancel and cannot use.
@andyburnham What exactly do you mean by 'British' jobs? Who will fill them, British natives, or anyone who arrived five minutes ago with meaningless citizenship or indefinite leave to remain?
It is EXTRAORDINARY how this man - arrested for allegedly murdering a woman he knew and pushing her body through the streets of Athens in a suitcase - is presented in the press.
A spotlight trains on his past, his father’s military past, his boxing ability, his dreams and hopes, how hard it was to escape the Taliban for him, how everything was stolen from him blah blah blah.
Hold up. ✋
He is accused of strangling a woman to death, putting her body in a case, wheeling her about, leaving her body to rot in an abandoned building, stealing from her bank account and trying to involve his own wife.
I do not need a sympathetic background. Fuck him. This sort of reporting is an insult to women.

Also @Telegraph he didn’t murder a suitcase - he allegedly murdered a woman. https://t.co/gTBkoUMvGr
Just now in the Times..
“Andy
Burnham promises to be
'relentless' in stopping small boat crossings”
This is excellent news, just what we wanted to hear.
Look closer..
“The prime minister says the government will offer safe routes for immigration to make boat crossings less lucrative for gangs”
So Burnham is taking migrants out of the ‘irregular’ column - and putting them in the ‘legally permitted to come’ column..
Our money and infrastructure like schools and the NHS will still be used, we will eventually have to house them - but they won’t be ‘irregular’
That’s reassuring.
Where will they come from?
UK Resettlement Schemes, migrants are typically located in regions such as -
The Middle East (e.g., refugees from Syria or Iraq living in neighboring countries like Lebanon or Jordan).
East and North Africa (e.g., individuals fleeing conflict in Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, or Eritrea).
How many will come?
The Home Office has stated that intake numbers will start deliberately small to avoid overwhelming local services, before scaling up to thousands of individuals per year.
Thousands of individuals a year…
Burnham will then say with a straight face - I stopped the boats.
That’s what safe and legal routes actually mean 🤨
If one of the most historic parts of your capital city now looks like this due to an ideology you have imported and allowed to flourish, then your society is fundamentally broken.
Don't forget, Shabana Mahmood's stated policy is to create more safe and legal routes. They're no longer going to put them in hotels. They're going to seed these bioweapons in your community.
Miliband’s old department has a brilliant new plan for net zero: stop reading paper books and buy a Kindle instead.
I suppose burning the books for heating fuel comes next🙄
Making electronic readers requires toxic mining abroad and creates piles of electronic waste.
Meanwhile, paper books come from managed forests and lock away carbon for centuries with zero electricity.
We must protect our local bookshops, our freedom to own books, and our privacy from tech giants.
The government should focus on lowering energy bills instead of policing our bookshelves.
Hands off our books!🤨
“In what may sound like a work of fiction to book lovers, government advisers have suggested readers swap printed copies for Kindles to help Britain hit net zero.
A new study commissioned under Ed Miliband, the former energy secretary, said on Wednesday that printing and binding consumed too much energy and readers should instead enjoy books on digital devices to cut emissions”
(Telegraph)
Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, said: “The department of energy is wasting public taxpayer money on this propaganda about the energy that goes into reading a book.
They should leave our books alone and do their actual job by working out the impact that their disastrous Clean Power 2030 plan will have on bills.”
