These are pro-Palestine protesters at Waterloo station, some holding a giant Palestine flag. Police officers are all standing around and watching. Told commuters there was nothing they could do.

If anti-immigration protesters pulled this stunt, would they respond the same way?

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.

A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.

This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.

In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.

But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”

British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?

We genuinely do not understand this.

Escape to Victory (1981) is a gloriously weird, star-studded blend of Hollywood and football royalty.
Sir Michael Caine said he took the part mainly to work with Pelé, whom he saw as a legend. Pelé agreed to do the famous bicycle kick just once, and once was enough.

John Healey, Captain Mainwaring of this doomed Westminster platoon, could no longer stand by while Britain’s defences were left with a broom handle and tin hat

He picked up the field telephone, resigned, and reportedly left Keir Starmer spluttering in the Labour bunker

UK’s VIP and Command Support Air Transport Challenges: From BAE 146 to Envoy IV

Updated from an essay I drafted in 2025 (seems I’ve been proved right).

Views my own, corrections and comments welcome.

1/25 The retirement of the Royal Air Force’s BAE 146 fleet in 2022 marked a major shift in the UK’s ability to provide reliable VIP transport and command support air transport (CSAT) for senior government officials, the Royal Family, and military operations. This thread attempts to examine the transition, recent setbacks, and deeper systemic issues in MoD procurement, all very pertinent as we wait for the mythical DIP.

The gorilla-philosopher has become an internet star

A 13-year-old male gorilla named Kiyomasa from a Japanese zoo, after quarreling with his partner, went to the corner of the enclosure, sat in the classic pose of Rodin’s “The Thinker,” and immersed himself in deep thoughts.

The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images

Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph reveal the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people

The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".

In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.

That was the only way that "nature" could win.

However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.

The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.

The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear

This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.

Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"

Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.

The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.

Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.

🚨 Astonishingly, the heads of the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service’s (GMFRS) ‘race and faith’ network have sent an email to firefighters, targeting staff members standing as candidates for Reform UK.

The email stated these individuals were "spoken to" and that management is seeking "legal guidance" to protect their "inclusive culture."

Sending an anti-Reform UK political broadcast on public systems during a regulated election period is a shocking breach of electoral neutrality and is unlawful.

Firefighters have every legal right to stand for election.

Hounding staff for lawful political views is unacceptable and is proof of the exact perception that anyone questioning an aggressive DEI agenda will be chased out of their job.

I have written to Chief Fire Officer Dave Russel demanding answers.

Petch and Ahmed - the network heads responsible - appear to have committed gross misconduct and should be dismissed.

GMFRS must apologize to Reform UK and the affected staff.

We have given GMFRS until Wednesday to answer 8 specific demands, including providing transcripts of what was said to our candidates and explaining why these network heads are permitted to weaponize IT systems.

I am also calling on HMICFRS (@HMICFRS) and the Electoral Commission (@ElectoralCommUK) to urgently investigate this unlawful breach.

The same Lewis Hamilton who used a corporate leasing structure to save money on taxes (around £3.3 million in VAT) when acquiring his Bombardier Challenger 605 private jet in 2013? The same Lewis Hamilton who bought the £16.5 million jet through his British Virgin Islands company (Stealth Aviation Ltd) and who then set up an Isle of Man leasing company (Stealth (IOM) Ltd, to import it into the EU and sub-leased it to a UK jet management firm (TAG Aviation), which in turn provided it back to Hamilton and his Guernsey company under charter agreements? *That* Lewis Hamilton?

🚨 David Lammy is an absolute shambles on #BBCLauraK this morning.

He is simultaneously arguing:

1️⃣ There is no such thing as two-tier policing.

2️⃣ Different groups should be treated differently by the police.

Well which is it?

Either the law applies to everyone in the same way, or it doesn’t.

It is no wonder policing feels so inconsistent…

…when the Justice Minister can’t articulate a consistent position.

So there's a mile stone on the Andover Road just outside Winchester, it's been there for 100s of years, guess who digs it up and then dumps it along with a load of other building waste in the local landfill?

Yep, step forward Southern Water.

🚨 THE MOST BLATANT, UNDENIABLE EXAMPLE OF TWO-TIER POLICING YOU WILL EVER SEE! 😡

A police liaison officer is filmed calmly addressing a large group of Muslim men outside a mosque in Stoke-on-Trent (Staffordshire Police, near Darul Falah Mosque in Hanley) amid disorder.

His exact words, spoken through a megaphone:

“If there’s any weapons or anything like that, what I would do is discard them at the mosque.”

“Don’t give anybody any reason to have any interaction with the police, so if there’s any weapons, get rid of them. We are not going to arrest anybody.”

Absolutely staggering. No searches. No arrests. Just friendly advice to stash the weapons inside the mosque and carry on.

Imagine if it was a group of white English lads tooled up with knives, bats or worse in the middle of the same chaos. We’d have seen riot gear deployed, police dogs, baton charges, mass arrests, air support, the full works, followed by blanket media coverage branding them “far-right thugs”.

Instead? A calm, helpful suggestion. A quiet word of advice: “Just discard them in the mosque, lads.”

This is blatant, on-camera proof of two-tier policing happening openly in the UK.

The force itself admitted this footage damaged public confidence. No wonder.

Valdo Calocane was one of these psychotic Africans who staff refused to detain because of his race. He went on to murder Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham.
