When I was around 13, so 1999, my dad was visiting England and we were down the local pub.
It was in Luton and called “The Heron”
While having a pint in the pub garden, kids ran from place to place.
Brit rock was playing in the background.
Men had a whole day out on 20 pounds and could spoil women with a drink.
Everyone was laughing.
British sunny days weren’t empty and pointless like they are now.
Everybody had an objective.
Everybody could go down the pub.
A few years later, It was closed down to be converted into a Tesco Express.
When I told my dad he said
“when the pubs are gone, England is finished. Old people will be lonely, young people won’t meet. Everyone will be stuck in front of the TV waiting to die”
I thought he was exaggerating and laughed it off.
But think of England only 20 years ago compared to the dystopian hell hole it’s become today.
The Pub was the corner stone of British society in the best way.
Yes. There were alcoholics and yes there was the odd scrap.
Better than lonely drug addicts and stabbing like we have today.
Everything is worse and dad was right.
When I was slightly older, 18/19, I used to spend long summers days at a pub in Chistlehurst Kent when visiting my aunt.
Sunny? Pub.
It was right next to a lake.
We’d feed the ducks.
Buying drinks all day long with a pocket full of change.
You will never understand how Britain used to feel unless you lived it.
How beautiful it used to be.
But the pubs are all gone.
And Dads gone.
Englands gone.
It all just breaks my heart.
@tpvsean@davidicke I’m confused. Wasn’t ’The People’s Voice’ a kind of television channel started by David Icke a number of years back? Now it’s run by somebody in conflict with David?
I am old enough to remember when Labour was the party of the poor and needy (BB - Before Blair). I read that only one Labour MP - Jon Trickett - voted against this and other 'rebels' merely abstained to avoid sanctions from their tyrant leader. Gutless.
@claireunion1 All politicians are a nightmare 🤷🏼♂️ but Trump over Kamala? Yes, of course, absolutely, but that it definitely choosing bad over terrible.
@claireunion1 No I don’t. I find him funny and think some of his ideas are good. I also think he has a dark and generally unpleasant side. Unlike yourself, I see nuance in people, some good and some bad
The Oasis tour isn’t just about their music.
It’s about the height of Britain.
It’s about the nostalgia of remembering how amazing Britain was.
If you didn’t live it you’ll never understand it and it can’t be explained.
A time when you could go down the pub, interact with people you knew and didn’t know and have the best night of your life on 15 quid.
A time when there was always something happening, in every city, 7 nights a week.
No fear of being stabbed.
No fear of being robbed.
A time when everyone watched the same TV shows and discussed them the next day.
You weren’t desperate to go on holiday like the British are now, there was no need.
You didn’t see Dubai or Maldives on Instagram all day, you literally didn’t even know those places existed. You would hang around on a council estate, completely content and want nothing else than to laugh with your friends.
Random skin heads would say “you alrite mate?” And you’d either be best friends or in a scrap 2mins later.
Nobody got stabbed. Nobody died.
It’s just how it was.
The pub on Christmas Day.
The bus was 30p.
You loved everyone you met, didn’t matter the race.
The country was united.
There was a feeling in the air.
Constant electricity.
And it’s all gone now. It’s died.
All we have are the songs from those times.
A day in the life of an English man.
Picture this, you’re in london, it costs more than you earn to live here, you slowly accumulate debt, you cant afford a holiday so you just use drugs to escape.
The weathers shit & the people that live here hate each other with a passion but you cant afford to leave.
You wake up one morning to you find out your tax is going up after ulez, the cost of living crisis, energy prices & interest rates have eat the last bit of spending money that was left from your monthly wage.
While you’re sat on the toilet reading tweets from the metropolitan police about online trolls a swat team smashes through the bathroom window, past you on the shitter & arrests your 11 year old son for shouting at a police officer.
Your sister rings you (she recently got fired from her job as a doctor for refusing to ask biological men if they are pregnant) & tells you grandma just froze to death because Keir Starmer gave her winter allowance to country on the other side of the planet that’s wealthy then us to help them with climate change.
It all gets a bit much so you go for a pint and try to relax by smoking a cigarette in the beer garden & find out its illegal & get barred.
So you decide to go for a walk to clear your mind & get violently stabbed to death.
The Guardian then plasters your face all over the news for randomly jumping on a perfectly good knife 54 times that was held by a choir boy.
Your sister tweets about it & gets nicked.
Your son comes out of prison & protests about it, but this time he shouts at a police horse, gets nicked but the prisons are too full, so they let out Ian Huntley to put him in back in.
Mad thing is, that don’t even sound far fetched now does it, its now all a perfectly believable turn of events 😂
Today’s authoritarianism knows no boundaries. London’s Metropolitan Police Chief just told the world that he will be coming after anyone who violates British social media censorship rules with international extradition requests – to include American citizens. Simultaneously, the EU’s Censorship “Kommisar” Thierry Breton just told Elon Musk he can’t allow EU citizens to witness tonight’s interview with President Trump.
The elites who want to decide what is permissible to read and watch justify their censorship by labeling dissenting opinions as “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “far right,” or “extremist.” During the lockdowns, MI-6 designated me and other health freedom activists as potential “terrorists.” But the label applies more closely to themselves, as they try to scare us into submission again with bird flu hoaxes, debt-fueled financial collapse, and ever more dangerous imperial wars of choice.
This is definitely a wake-up call, America. It’s time to reclaim our government. If not in America, the paragon of freedom, then where?

Let me get this straight:
Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X.
And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.
