I’m not left, I’m not right…. I beg people to stop making assumptions on others! You are like brain dead sheep flocking together to feel comforted by a sense of belonging and acceptance. I don’t need that, I’m good alone!
The attacks on people since the right wing split is vile! It’s not debating, it’s out right bullying! It’s like being back at school. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been called a slag the past few days simply for having a different opinion. It doesn’t bother me, it secretly turns me on. 🤷🏻♀️
Right now you are classed as a leftie for having an opinion. The amount of people who assume I am a “leftie” is ridiculous! I mean, is it meant to be an insult? I see it as someone else with a different view to mine. 🤯
Saying “They all must go”, “Deport them all” MUST be questioned. This isn’t a dictatorship where the leader of the party says something and everyone has to agree. Nor should people be intimidated or humiliated for not agreeing.
Who is all? To me, in MY opinion, illegal immigrants and foreign criminals should go. But beyond that is where I feel uncertain.
If you start to force people out because of their religion or colour it becomes dangerous. Why? Because being hostile to innocent people will bite you on the ass. A range of ethnicities work within our NHS, they speak English, they work hard, they save lives, they care for our loved ones. If we start ejecting innocent people, we may lose people who are valuable to our country, who should be respected. Let’s be clear, those who say it would open up jobs for English folk, if ethnic groups walked, there isn’t English people ready to step in because university fees are too high!
It goes beyond that and the problem actually starts at the bottom, our schools are understaffed and under trained. Some schools have teachers teaching subjects they aren’t even qualified in, some have SEN children in a mainstream school with no staff qualified to support them. Colleges don’t have enough places for every student. How are these children suppose to get grades to go to university?!
British vs British Citizenship
They are two different things, agreed, but BOTH are legally living in Britain. Those people should be left alone in my opinion. Stripping someone’s citizenship when they have been settled for years is hostile. If they commit crimes then for sure it should happen.
Currently to claim asylum in the UK you have to be in the UK in person - that is a huge balls up. This is why small boats are flowing, there is no way of applying until you get here!
Halal meat, no animal should suffer, I barely eat meat to be honest. Humane killing it has to be.
Voting in the UK - only British and British citizens in my personal opinion.
Transgender - decisions should not be made until a lot older and should not be encouraged.
I personally also don’t agree with parents Christening their children, your faith and religion shouldn’t be decided for you.
I have my own thoughts and opinions, I’m not a sheep, I will not follow to please others and I will express my opinion and ask questions when I want to. All you angry pricks sweating in mummy’s basement need to get a grip!
We do not need a dictator, we do not need someone who makes one rule for one and then another rule for others! Hypocrisy! We do not need racism! We do not need someone who tries to block investigations against them but wants everyone else investigated. 😩
We need strong minded people who ask questions and are willing to stand up and disagree when they don’t agree! 💪🏻
If you made it to here you get a medal 🏆
Love Georgi 💁🏻♀️
@MiddyRed68@dave43law They don’t need to physically come over here lol but yes the most they will do is cyber related which goes on all the time anyway.
@trinzu 💔 take your time, process in your own way, in your own time, how is best for you. I’ve recently learnt I grieve differently for different people also, I don’t know if that is the same for you.
Well done, Restore Britain. 👏
A truly stunning demonstration of how to “save Britain”.
In Dover, the Greens won with 28.8%. Reform finished just behind on 27.5%. Meanwhile Restore Britain collected 10.7% of the vote. That’s a vote share more than eight times the gap between Reform and the Greens.
So congratulations. You may not have won anything yourselves, but Britain now has another Green councillor.
I’m sure Zack Polanski and the Green Party will be absolutely delighted with your contribution.
Perhaps they should send Rupert Lowe a thank-you card.
Mission accomplished, lads. “Restore Britain.” 😂

Orla’s FGM numbers don’t add up.
First she said:
“I am referring to the 43k girls who are mutilated by FGM in THIS country every year.”
That is not what the NHS data shows.
The NHS recorded 41,645 women and girls in England over the entire ten-year period from April 2015 to March 2025 in cases where FGM was identified.
That is ten years of NHS records, not 43,000 girls being mutilated in Britain every year.
The dataset records women and girls where FGM was identified or an FGM-related procedure was undertaken.
“Newly recorded” does not mean newly mutilated. There can be a long gap between FGM being undertaken and it later being recorded by the NHS..
Now look at the part of Orla’s claim that matters most:
“IN THIS COUNTRY.”
The NHS records the country where FGM was undertaken.
Across the April 2015 to March 2025 dataset, where all three key pieces of information were known, the NHS recorded 685 women and girls whose FGM was undertaken in the UK.
But even that number needs context.
The NHS says 64% of the UK cases are known to be piercings.
Some of the remaining 36% may also be piercings because the data is incomplete.
So approximately 438 of the 685 correspond to the known-piercing category.
The remaining 247 or so cannot simply be described as cases of cutting, because the NHS itself says some may also be piercings.
The 685 also includes Types 1, 2, 3 and Type 4 with a known subtype.
Type 4 covers other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, including pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterisation.
There is also an important legal distinction here.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) guidance makes clear that female genital piercing does not automatically amount to an offence under the FGM legislation. Where a case involves piercing, it still has to meet the relevant evidential test for prosecution.
So an NHS record of a piercing cannot simply be turned into a statistic for criminal FGM offences.
There is considerable missing information in the NHS dataset. Across the ten-year period, only 22% of women and girls had all three key data items recorded.
It does not show 43,000 girls being mutilated in Britain every year.
Then Orla said:
“It also costs the NHS £100 MILLION per annum…”
Again, the wording matters.
The £100 million figure comes from a 2016 health-economic estimate of the annual healthcare cost burden associated with FGM, with an estimated range of £33 million to £184 million.
It was not an audited NHS spending figure showing that £100 million is spent every year on girls being mutilated in Britain.
And what about arrests and prosecutions?
The NHS healthcare dataset does not link those 685 cases to police records, so we cannot claim that 685 arrests occurred, or give an arrest figure for those specific cases.
What we can establish from the CPS is that the first successful FGM conviction in England and Wales was in February 2019, for FGM committed in the UK.
The second conviction, in 2023, involved assisting FGM overseas.
The third, in 2024, concerned conspiracy to commit FGM against a young girl who was to be taken to Iraq.
I’ve previously challenged Orla’s figures on domestic violence, where the underlying numbers also needed considerably more context than the headline figure suggested.
This isn’t about minimising violence against women and girls.
It is about accuracy.
Because if you are the spokesperson for Women and Girls’ Safety, the public should be able to trust the statistics you put forward.
Because frightening people with inflated or incorrectly interpreted statistics doesn’t make women and girls safer.
It makes the public debate less truthful.
Why are people not calling this out

Many of these people aren’t asylum seekers, if they were they would of stayed in the first safe country, they also wouldn’t be purposely getting rid of their documents. Most aren’t women and children, just single men.
If moving people out of hotels into cheaper accommodation (barracks/HMOs) is actually saving taxpayers money and THAT was your issue before. Then exactly what's the problem now???
you can't complain about the cost and then complain when the cost goes down!
And don't even say we don't want any.
Hard cheese. Asylum seekers will always come.
@PottyMouth1972 Also imagine how many people would get involved in the lottery if it was a British lottery and was to go to British vets and our country security!
