This is Emilio Piano (real name Emil Reinert), a French-German classical pianist who’s become famous on Instagram and TikTok for playing piano in public places — streets, shopping malls, airports — and letting random people request songs.
On June 16, 2026, he was playing outside the TAURON Arena in Kraków, Poland, right before The Offspring’s concert at the Lost Generation Festival.
A girl walked up and asked him to play her favorite song by The Offspring. He started playing… and suddenly the crowd went crazy. He had no idea why.
It turned out the band themselves were walking past on their way to the show. They heard him playing one of their songs (“The Kids Aren’t Alright”), stopped, and jumped in to sing and play along with him.
Completely spontaneous. One of those rare, magical moments that only happen in real life.
🚨NEWS: Peter Lynch killed himself after being accused of racist comments an inquest jury has found
The 61 year old was jailed for two years and eight months over disorder outside an asylum hotel in Rotherham
He was reported for comments about immigration two days before his death
He was waiting for an adjudication by the prison governor
The jury said his belief that he was defenceless led him to take the action that he did
He died at HMP Moorland in October 2024
The inquest jury found the information provided verbally to Peter Lynch before the adjudication papers were served was sufficient.
The coroner noted concern about the amount of information given to prisoners about being reported for adjudication before lockdown but said the prison has since addressed the issue with a new system.
No individual officer or staff member was held to blame in the reported findings.
They literally scared this poor man to death over hurty words, it takes a lot to upset me and reading the inquest report has me angry and upset for this man i never knew but would have likely got on with, just a normal bloke angry at what happened like the rest of us.
He never should have been in prison, this is on Keir Starmer.
Never forget Peter Lynch.
The UK gets 8 bank holidays a year.
France gets 11. Italy 12. Austria 13. Spain around 14.
You work more days than almost anyone in western Europe, your pay buys less than it did fifteen years ago, and they keep moving the retirement age further away.
Who exactly is this arrangement working for?
A farmer in Shropshire is selling his farm this September and nobody has died.
Two hundred and twenty acres. A hundred and forty ewes, seventy suckler cows, a shed with one end held up by a telegraph pole, and a tractor bought new in 1994, which is the last thing on that farm that was bought new. His grandfather bought the place outright in 1961. He is 54 and has never had a penny of debt.
The books say the farm lost eleven thousand pounds last year. It lost money the year before as well.
He is not bad at this. The government's own review, chaired by Minette Batters, found nearly a third of British farms were loss-making in 2024.
On paper the same farm is worth £1.9 million.
Pasture in his county averaged £8,600 an acre last year, and not a pound of that was set by anything he grows. Two blocks within nine miles went to buyers he has never met. One for solar. One described in the particulars as a natural capital opportunity.
His mother is 81 and lives in the bungalow at the top of the lane. When that comes across with the other half of the ground, the two halves clear the £2.5 million threshold, and twenty per cent of the excess is a bill in six figures on a business that has not made money in three years.
His son is a radiographer in Telford and is not coming back. He said so once, kindly, and never made his father ask twice.
So it goes now, while he can still choose which fields and to whom. He is selling the good ground first, because you cannot raise a bill off the rough.
The Treasury collects nothing from any of this. The sale happens years before the tax event, so there is no tax event left to have.
What Britain loses is a hundred and forty lambs and seventy calves a year, off ground that will never produce food again, in a country that already imports forty per cent of what it eats and has just had its worst cereal harvest since records began.
That is one farm. There are thousands of them, doing the sums at the same kitchen table this month.
The beef on your shelf this Christmas will come from Brazil, and the price will be higher, and nobody will connect the two.
It now turns out that the Defence Secretary, Wes Streeting, received thousands of pounds worth of donations linked to a notorious crypto fraudster, Sam Bankman-Fried.
Will Sky News be harassing his relatives?
Will the BBC go to his constituency to speak to locals?
I doubt it.
Eritreans are the biggest group of foreign men invading Britain via illegal routes like dinghies and lorries.
Pakistanis are the biggest group of foreign men claiming asylum in the UK.
There’s not a war in either country. Neither are our problem.
KIND OF BLOWS THE LEFTY ARGUMENT OUT THE WATER, DOESN’T IT…
🚨 Dominic Cummings said:
"Whitehall will break the law to prevent Reform UK winning power. They'll leak medical records, tax records. They'll bug his phone and leak that. They'll do anything that they need to."
Just a reminder
A very aggressive hit piece on me has just been published in the Daily Telegraph by Allister Heath - labelling me ‘a deluded egotist who is toxifying British politics.’
He gives three examples of why he is so horrified by Restore Britain’s presence.
Number one. The fact I stated my concern around projections that ‘white Britons will become a minority by 2063’.
No statistic greater demonstrates the astounding way mass immigration is changing our country. He calls Restore Britain’s worry around this ‘racism’ and ‘disgusting’.
It should have ‘no place in mainstream politics’.
It’s that attitude which has allowed our communities to transform in front of our very eyes over the last few decades.
It’s not going to work on me.
This brings us on to his second point.
The fact that I highlight how parts of Manchester have essentially been colonised by Islamic populations.
YES.
I stand by every single word.
Communities in places like Rochdale, Oldham, entire districts in Manchester itself.
Replaced. Of course this has happened. My advice to the journalist is this - go and visit, use your eyes.
I did exactly that, and it shocked me.
There is no multiculturalism. There is one culture. One religion. One way of life.
Islam.
I make no apologies for my views on that, and Restore Britain’s efforts to change it.
His third concern? Incredibly…
The fact that Restore Britain has banning halal and kosher slaughter as a policy.
He is offended by my description - ‘barbaric foreign practices that have no place in our high-trust society’.
He calls it ‘despicable’, and it puts me ‘beyond the pale’.
He states that banning halal ‘would trigger a civil war’…
Does that not prove my earlier point correct?
Whatever.
I don’t want millions and millions and millions of animals to be brutally butchered and left to bleed from the neck in the most unimaginable pain. Does that make me ‘despicable’? I think not.
I am a British farmer. In this country, we care for our animals properly. I don’t care if that offends certain religions, I really don’t.
He also takes issue with me labelling cousin marriage non-British. Seriously?
If you are a Telegraph subscriber and you disagree, I suggest you let the paper know. They think your concerns around Halal slaughter are ‘despicable’ or that if you’re worried about parts of Britain becoming mainly Islamic that view is ‘foul’.
If you’re reading this, agreeing with what I’m saying, then join us.
Join Restore Britain.
Let’s get our country back.
My daughter Belle is known on X for her paintings of Jesus.
Today she has finished her oil painting of Anne Widdecombe.
I thought I’d share how remarkable and beautiful it is ❤️
The English channel is 21 miles wide. Royal Navy have the technology to see a dot on a domino at that range.
So Royal Navy needs to be on the half way mark in UK waters. Scanning the French coast for boats leaving. As soon as they are seen to do so they should alert the French Navy. If the French Navy "cannot attend" then as a matter of life saving urgency and rescue the Royal Navy should enter French waters, collect the occupants and take them back to safety in France.
No need to thank us.

Average global temperatures were a full 2°C warmer during the last interglacial period, 130,000 to 115,000 years ago.
There was no evidence of any climate warming crisis in the geological record.
This was the Eemian interglacial—the warm period between ice ages—and it stayed at least 2°C warmer than the current Holocene interglacial for 10,000 years.
Biological life expanded northwards into the polar regions. African large fauna—hippos, lions and crocodiles—flourished in the then semi-tropical Thames Valley at the heart of Britain. Life thrived, despite CO₂ levels being considerably lower than today, at 285 ppm.
Modern levels range from 369 ppm in 2000 to 426 ppm by 2026. These higher CO₂ levels have generated the greatest expansion of green leaf area in recorded history, according to NASA satellite studies.
Food production (grains, vegetables, and fruits) has jumped 35–40%, even on intensively farmed lands. Around 70% of this regeneration is attributed to increasing levels of atmospheric CO₂, rising from 369 ppm at the turn of the century.
This should raise serious doubts about the global disruption of a climate emergency declared by the United Nations. This fear campaign was used to progressively seek the dismantling of hydrocarbon fuels and replace them with intermittent wind-solar 'renewable' energy.
But after 35 years, the dependable trio of coal, oil and gas still provide 81% of global primary power; wind-solar about 6%. These largely experimental renewable structures are not comparable with the global power grid. Rebuilding a second parallel grid will cost $21 trillion (McKinsey Global, 2022).
The UN has driven a slick PR campaign, warning of numerous impending crises, from coastal cities being underwater, to droughts, flooding and famine. None have occurred. By the year 2030, millions of people were expected to face forced migration to escape a burning climate. This is now a highly unlikely scenario.
The Eemian is a standout example of the variability and benefits of a warmer world with higher CO₂. It reflects the huge successes of food produced in greenhouse environments, where CO₂ levels are boosted to around 1,250 ppm to maximise food production.
Today's global temperatures are estimated to have risen by 1.4°C in the 250 years since the start of the Industrial Revolution - ultimately powered by coal, oil and gas.
A father said to his son:
“You graduated with honors. Here’s a Volkswagen Beetle I bought many years ago… It’s over 50 years old, but before I give it to you, take it to a downtown dealership and ask them how much they’ll offer you.
”The son went to the dealership, came back and said:
“They offered me $10,000 because it looks very worn out.”
The father replied:
“Now take it to a pawn shop.”
The son went to the pawn shop, returned and said:
“They only offered me $1,000 because they said it’s too old.”
Finally, the father told him to take the car to a classic car club.
The son did so, came back and said:
“People at the club offered me $100,000! They said it’s a very rare and highly sought-after car among the members.”
The father then said to his son:
“I wanted you to understand that the right place will value you the right way.
If they don’t appreciate you, don’t get angry... it simply means you’re not in the right place. Those who truly know your worth are the ones who truly value you.
Never stay somewhere that doesn’t recognize your value!”
Here is Greece Border Force firing live rounds at a small boat full of illegals and pushing them back into Turkish waters.
Can someone please explain why it seems that every other country in the world is allowed to defend their borders apart from us?
Barely two years of Reeves/Starmer and we have an £81 billion black hole!
Remember the apoplectic outrage from Labour and the mainstream media over a £22 billion black hole? that was actually around £9.5 billion.
Where is the apoplectic mainstream media now?
