@EssexPR I knew someone who at 25 got a brand new car full insurance and AA coverage he had ADHD said struggling to travel but went on at least 6 foreign holidays a year
We seem to be having our past eroded on an almost daily basis. I made this short video on the East End to remind people of who we areโฆ
I would really appreciate it if my followers could retweet the pixels off if you can - Thank You allโฆ๐๐ป๐ซถ๐ป

๐จBREAKING: RESTORE BRITAIN HAS REACHED OVER 90,000 MEMBERS ๐ฌ๐ง
We are well on track to reach 100,000 members in the first two weeks of launch!
This is absolutely unprecedented, well done to everyone who has joined, keep spreading the word ๐ซก
After we told the story of the Celts, you asked us one question more than any other. โโโ
What happened to the Britons?
๐ฐ They were here for over three thousand years before Rome set foot on this island.
They spoke Brythonic. The ancestor of Welsh, Cornish, and Breton.
They built Maiden Castle. The largest hill fort in Europe. Six hundred years before Christ. And over two thousand more across Britain.
Their kings minted coins stamped with their own names. Their settlements stretched for miles. They traded wine with Rome and pottery with Gaul.
The Greeks wrote about them. And called them civilised.
โ๏ธ When Rome invaded in 43 AD, Caractacus fought them for seven years across the mountains of Wales. When they captured him and dragged him before the Emperor, he gave a speech so defiant they let him live.
Then Boudicca burned London to the ground. Seventy thousand dead.
Rome won. Eventually.
But the Britons didn't disappear. They adapted. Built Roman towns. Spoke Latin in public and Brythonic at home. At Bath, they merged their goddess Sulis with Rome's Minerva.
Then Rome left. The Saxons came. And the textbooks say the Britons vanished. Replaced. Gone.
๐งฌ Except they weren't.
In 2022, scientists analysed hundreds of ancient skeletons buried across England. DNA from people who lived through the Saxon arrival.
The Britons weren't replaced. They survived. They passed it down. They continued.
Much of your ancestry traces back to the Britons and earlier. In the west, it's even more.
The people the textbooks erased are still here.
The Saxons built England. But the Britons are its foundations.
Three thousand years. And they're still here. Not in a museum. Not in a textbook.
In you.
Be proud of them.

1670, London. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ง
Two men were arrested for preaching on a street. That was illegal. One of them was William Penn.
They were put on trial at the Old Bailey. The judge told the jury to find them guilty.
They said not guilty.
He sent them back. They came back. Not guilty.
He sent them back again. Not guilty.
So the judge locked them up. No food. No water. No toilet. For two days.
He brought them back into court. Starving. Exhausted. Humiliated.
He asked for their verdict.
Not guilty.
The judge fined every juror. Eleven paid. One didn't.
His name was Edward Bushel. He refused to pay. And he sued the judge.
He won.
The court ruled that no jury can be punished for its verdict. Ever. A jury answers to its conscience โ not to the judge.
That's still the law. Today.
Because one Englishman refused to pay a fine. And twelve more who were starved, locked up, and humiliated.
Still said no.

Britain when I was in my 30s was THE best country to live in the world. London was THE best city. I cannot tell you what a special place it was. Everyone, all over the world, wanted to live in Britain.
I look now at the cards our country has dealt young British men and women? Itโs a proper miserable deal, isnโt it?
Student loans, for example. It is a suffocating graduate debt. NINE percent, over a very low threshold. Thatโs just brutal. Any real chance of saving, gone. NINE grand a year to even go to university. We break their backs before they even start working.
Restore Britain would scrap interest on student loans altogether - funded by removing eligibility to foreign nationals who in the many, many thousands abscond and fail to pay a penny back.
Wider tax, even more pain.
Just remember, workers, when youโre walking to the office in the pissing rain that your efforts are funding some Somalian family to sit on benefits doing sod all. You work, so others donโt have to. We would ban foreigners from benefits altogether, and we could get the healthy British shirking class off their backsides and out picking litter and cleaning graffiti.
Painful, yes. Necessary, absolutely.
We need to brutally cut tax, and brutally slash down the size of the state. Do those two things in tandem, and just watch how the clouds lift for men and women who are putting in the hours and getting nowhere.
Letโs say a young couple manage to scratch together 20k for a deposit after paying 2k a month in rent. What do they get? A pokey little flat in Lewisham? They donโt even own it, due to ludicrous leasehold rules? Spending an hour commuting each way, on filthy, packed trains? Not exactly the American dream is it?
The system STINKS.
Possibly one positive development thanks to technology - working from home. Farage wants it to end, and attacks the idea of โwork-lifeโ balance.
Restore Britainโs position is clear on private sector employees working from home - WE DO NOT CARE. And actually, a positive work-life balance is a good thing. People care, people are happy, they work better. Anyone who has actually run a proper business would understand that.
People my age say oh well the youngsters donโt work hard enough, they donโt save, they spend too much. Possibly for some. False for an overwhelming majority. It is an objective fact that buying a home when I was younger was SO much easier than now. Cutting down on flat whites will not solve the entire problem, CLEARLY.
Look at childcare. Maybe they want to start a family. Good for them. Oh wait, they examine the costs of childcare. Thousands a month. When the damn thing is only open six hours a day. Vast waiting list to even get in? It just doesn't work. Nothing works.
Restore Britain would give vast tax breaks to working parents to ensure that a parent can stay with the child if they choose, or make childcare more affordable.
Reward families with meaningful relief. Raise thresholds, widen VAT exemptions for essential child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs.
We would front-load child benefit - pay more of the money in the earlier years, when the help is really required. Only British nationals would be eligible to receive that.
Stamp duty, gone for British nationals. An insidious tax that further punishes ambition and success.
We will support young men and women who want to get on, build a family and find their way in the world. I want these people to have the same opportunity that my generation had. That's all.
The vast majority want a Government that will enable them to succeed, and then leave them the hell alone.
They now have a political party that will do exactly that.
Restore Britain.
People were eating full meals and still dying.
In 1912 ๐ฌ๐ง, it couldn't be explained. You could sit in front of bread, meat, potatoes, butter. A whole table full of food. Your body could waste away.
Nobody knew why.
Until a man from Eastbourne fed milk to rats.
He fed young rats every nutrient science said they needed. Pure protein. Pure fat. Pure carbohydrate. Minerals. Water. Everything.
They stopped growing.
Then he added a tiny amount of ordinary milk.
They grew.
Something invisible.
Something no scientist had ever identified
Was hiding in everyday food. Without it, nothing else mattered. You could eat until you were full and still starve.
Frederick Hopkins called them "accessory food factors."
The world would call them vitamins.
In 1929, he won the Nobel Prize. He became the first Professor of Biochemistry at Cambridge. Four of his students went on to win Nobel Prizes of their own.
Today every fortified cereal, every enriched loaf of bread, every vitamin pill in every pharmacy in every country on earth traces back to one man, one experiment, and a tiny amount of milk.
He was from Eastbourne. They never taught you his name.
We will.

They invented a man who didn't exist. ๐ฌ๐ง
And he terrified the most powerful government on earth.
England. 1830. Farm workers were starving. Six million acres of common land had been enclosed.
Taken from the people who'd grazed it for centuries.
Wages couldn't feed a family. Then the threshing machines arrived and took the only winter work they had left.
So they did something extraordinary.
They invented a leader. Captain Swing. A man who never existed.
Letters appeared on the doorsteps of every farmer and landowner in southern England:
"Destroy your machines. Or we will."
Signed: Swing.
It started in Kent. A hundred machines smashed in weeks. Then it spread. Sussex. Hampshire. Wiltshire. Berkshire. East Anglia. The Midlands.
The largest uprising in nineteenth-century England. And nobody could find the leader. Because he didn't exist
The government was terrified. They sent in the army. 2,000 men were put on trial. 252 sentenced to death. 19 hanged. 481 transported to Australia.
For smashing a machine. For asking for enough to eat.
But here's what they knew: they were afraid.
Before Captain Swing, only 3% of people could vote. The uprising helped force the Great Reform Act of 1832. The first step toward every person in this country having a vote.
Starving men who couldn't read invented a ghost. And that ghost changed the country.
They didn't teach you about the ghost who brought Parliament to its knees.
They didn't tell you starving farmers forced the birth of democracy.
We Will. ๐ฌ๐ง
Help us tell the stories they left out.

A Restore Britain Government would hold a referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty - for the most evil crimes, where the guilt is absolutely undeniable.
Our members would be free to campaign how they choose in that referendum, but we believe that it should be put to the British people.
I would personally be campaigning very much in favour.
In my view, there is no absolutely zero benefit to keeping a monster like Axel Rudakubana alive.
He butchered those beautiful young girls in cold blood.
He does not deserve to live. Tragically, there are too many just like him.
If the British people support the reintroduction of the death penalty in our referendum, a Restore Britain Government would put Rudakubana to death.
Good news everyone - hope not hate has just stated that I am 'already by far the most extreme MP'.
I would have been devastated if they said otherwise, to be honest.
Farage finally admitted it. Rupert Lowe was kicked out of Reform and reported to the police because he wanted to mass deport foreign child rapists and their accomplices.
Share this post, so that the British people can see the truth.
The Wright Brothers? WRONG brothers ๐ฌ๐ง
In 1853, a man flew nine hundred feet across a valley in Yorkshire. Fifty years before Kitty Hawk.
His coachman climbed out and said: "I was hired to drive, not to fly."
But here's what they don't teach you.
Sir George Cayley. A young baronet from Yorkshire.
In 1799, he engraved a design on a small silver disc. On one side: an aeroplane. On the other: the four forces of flight. Lift. Drag. Thrust. Weight.
A hundred years before anyone flew, he understood exactly how it worked.
In 1804, he flew a model glider. In 1849, he put a ten-year-old boy in a full-size glider and launched him off a hill.
The FIRST time a human being had ever flown.
Then in 1853. The 'Triplane'. His coachman inside. Nine hundred feet across Brompton Dale.
Meanwhile in Somerset, a lace-maker called John Stringfellow had a different problem. Cayley proved you could glide.
But how do you add power?
He built a steam engine light enough to fly. In 1848, inside a disused lace factory, he launched it. Thirty yards under its own power.
Powered flight. In a LACE FACTORY. Fifty-five years before Kitty Hawk.
Wilbur Wright himself said: "An Englishman carried the science of flight to a point it had never reached before."
Cayley's silver disc is still in the Science Museum. Stringfellow's engine is in the Smithsonian. The first object America's national aviation museum ever collected.
A British engine. ๐ฌ๐ง
A baronet and a lace-maker. They figured out how to fly.
Then the world forgot ๐

Restore Britain has been called โfar-rightโ and โracistโ by the Guardian, Reform and the whole host of soapless socialists over the last few days.
I cannot be clearer in our official party response.
We do not care.
The illegals will go. The hotels will be emptied, the HMOs closed. Foreign sex pests, criminals and invaders will be rounded up, and they will be sent home.
Far more legals will leave than enter. Those foreign nationals here already will pay their way, they will contribute, they will respect our culture. If they donโt do that? Fine. Their choice. They will leave too.
If thatโs racist to these people? Then so be it.
This is a logical policy platform that the British people agree with. Theyโve just never had it seriously offered before.
Our political party is going to tell the brutal truth.
Get used to it.
A twelve-year-old girl found a skeleton in a cliff. Two hundred million years old. A creature nobody had ever seen.
The men who came to look at it didn't write down her name.
Her name was Mary Anning. Her father was dead. Her family was in debt. She didn't even have shoes that kept the water out. She'd been digging fossils out of the rock since she was five to keep them alive.
At twelve: an ichthyosaur. A sea dragon. The first complete skeleton the scientific world had ever seen.
At twenty-five: a plesiosaur. A creature with a neck longer than its body. French scientists said it couldn't be real.
It was.
Then a pterosaur. The first flying reptile ever found in Britain.
She was finding creatures that proved life on Earth was older and stranger than anyone had imagined. From a beach in Dorset. And nobody would put her name on any of it.
Because she was poor. And she was a woman.
They bought her fossils for pennies. Published papers in their own names. The Geological Society of London never admitted her. They wouldn't accept women for another seventy years.
She wrote: "The world has used me so unkindly, I fear it has made me suspicious of everyone."
She died at forty-seven. They gave her a eulogy. The first they'd ever given a woman. Then they forgot her. For a century.
Her fossils are still in the museums. Her name wasn't on any of them.
