@RestoreBritain@TheEnglishPat Shit. I thought Restore came 3rd. How on earth is Labour being elected Restoring Britain? Are you trying to tell us something? I’d accept that Restore should be in discussion with Reform on how to achieve power due to their size. But Labour winning is no achievement for anyone.
@electionmapsuk Hmm…. 23-27% of the region of Wigan receive some form of DWP payment. Labour win…. I wonder why? If you yourself rely on government handouts or your children/Grandchildren do then you can see why these people vote for the demise of the country. MONEY!
That Nick Fuentes clip that's doing the rounds explains Lotus Eaters et al. They are cowardly sheep who followed the fashion of being anti-Israel just to stay relevant - even to the point of laundering antisemitism (under the spell of a Lebanese nationalist). There was a time when they were cosying up to Tommy Robinson, but now Charlie Downes is their flavour of the month with the kids, and they want to keep the yoof audience - who are manipulated by the precise bullshit Fuentes is talking about (and proliferates).
It wouldn't be so bad but Lotus Eaters guys are old enough to know better. Carl Benjamin is my age for fucks sake. Sad and pathetic.
I stood firm in my beliefs by defending Israel because it is the right thing to do. Everything Israel has done since 2023 has been defensive action, and 100% justified. Israel has been under sustained attack on all sides from Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran, and there is no negotiated peace with people who want to destroy you.
Hamas turned Gaza into a forward operating base for Jihad, from which countless rockets have been fired over the last twenty years, with the express intent of killing civilians. All the while the world has urged Israel to show restraint.
But restraint got them nothing. Just more of the same. They've had to further fortify their borders with Iron Dome, and still Hamas sent in a rape-murder squad to massacre civilians in an orgy of violence. Nothing excuses that. Nobody is obliged to simply tolerate that, and in so doing Palestinians forfeited any right to a state.
7/10 necessitated everything that's been done since in Gaza, not least because Gaza is a military bunker complex, as is Southern Lebanon. It requires a comprehensive military response. That Gazans have suffered is 100% on Hamas.
Ultimately, it's not more complicated than that. Israel won its right to exist through its war of independence, and to this day defends that which worth defending - an imperfect but stable democratic civilisation. Choosing a side has never been easier. You're either on their side, or you side with the anti-west, anti-capitalist Islamo-leftist alliance - along with dysfunctional despotic basketcase Arab regimes, and far-right antisemites. The pathological losers of the world.
It should be recalled that Israel never wanted any of this. This is a country that just wants the safety of a homeland for the Jewish people in their place of origin - and with good cause. But it's Iran and its proxies who have attacked Israel. Israel has been uncompromising in its self-defence - and it is right that we have come to their aid. Our foreign policy cannot simply be "let the chips fall where they may".
Personally I have zero sympathy for Palestinians. Every hand of compromise has been slapped away and every chance at peace has been squandered. There are causes and peoples more deserving of our sympathy, attention, and aid. I do lament that Gazans are very much held hostage by Hamas, and for that reason I wish Israel every success in hunting them down and destroying them. The sooner it is done the better. They should get on and finish the job.
There is a curious phenomenon in the West where very often the militarily illiterate will always side with the underdog, but Palestinians are underdogs for a reason. Palestinian society is a death cult, perhaps incurably so.
They only enjoy sympathy from the rest of the world because the rest of the world does not have to live under a barrage of Hamas rockets. It's very different for Israelis who've been fighting for their own survival from the beginning. Hamas started this was but Israel is finishing it. They've been ruthless in their execution, but that's what it has come to. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
There is an outstanding debate as to the extent to which the West should involve itself, where there is room for disagreement, but I am proud that the RAF participated in the defence of Israeli air space when Iran attacked them. I also do not think the threat that Iran poses to the entire region can simply be ignored. Isolationism has its own consequences. Inaction also has a cost.
That policy disagreement, though, doesn't change the fact that Israel has every right to defend itself, and should not be condemned for being good at it. FAFO is a sound basis for foreign policy. The basic lesson from Gaza is that wars are bad and it is unwise to start them, especially when you lack the means to win.
Hamas, of course, knew it didn't have the means to win and has since put their own people in harm's way to garner sympathy and drum up international condemnation of Israel. It's emotional blackmail. It was likely to succeed precisely because the Western media is so gullible, cowardly, weak-minded, and in many cases outright antisemitic. The children at Lotus Eaters and Restore Britain can count themselves among them. Moronic losers, the lot.
😤 FURIOUS Maggie Oliver takes the gloves off and directly points the finger at Andy Burnham for blocking action on grooming gangs: “Do something! Stop making empty promises!”
I’ve rarely seen Maggie Oliver so angry and so willing to call out politicians by name. Bear in mind she has a relationship with Andy Burnham going back years, that alone tells you just how furious she is right now, and she has every right to be. The public is right behind her.
Asked by Wilfred Frost whether she is pointing the finger at Burnham for years of promises after local and national reviews, and whether his words are empty, Maggie let him know in no uncertain terms:
“I am pointing the finger! This week he’s talking about the Russell Brand case and David Walliams and saying that the stories of these victims in those cases will bring change and I’m not in any way underplaying the magnitude of what’s happened to those women, what I’m saying is we’re talking about failures over decades.”
“He could not be in a better position now, he is the Prime Minister. He has sent all his lawyers to argue why they should not bring in the recommendations of the 7-year inquiry that gave 7,500 survivors and victims hope that change would come.”
“Theresa May said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to protect children of the future. It matters! Do something! Stop making empty promises!”
Maggie is a fighter. She’s been doing this for decades, endlessly fighting for real change, yet they’re still not listening. They pretend they are, they praise her, but when it comes down to it they refuse to do what’s actually needed and she’s had enough!
She probably thought things would finally change under Burnham. Instead he’s literally fighting her in court to block the recommendations. The man is a fraud. No different to Starmer and the rest who’ve done nothing.
Keep going, Maggie. Keep the spotlight on them and try to shame him into doing what must be done. 🫡
Football had no issue with Salah praying to 'Allah' after all his goals
Football had no issue with Haaland doing the buddha celebration
But the second anyone glorifies Christ there's a problem?
Dortmund's official supporters group has criticised their star player Felix Nmecha simply for a goal celebration honouring Jesus Christ - Felix taking his crown off and laying it at Jesus' feet. They say that this is homophobic and transphobic.
It is shocking that even simple displays of Christianity are now interpreted as hateful and intolerable.
We cannot allow these tyrants to win.
Jesus is King.
I have absolutely no idea why my timeline is completely ignoring the suspension of Labour MP Perran Moon today. He was just caught trying to dissolve his private company without paying back a £50,000 taxpayer-funded Covid loan. Right as this government prepares to hammer ordinary families with tax hikes in the Budget.
Here is what they desperately hope stays quiet!🧵

Did the white girl who was savagely beaten by a black mob get any teary eyed profiles by national media? Was there any outrage over this at all? Were any of the racist black violent thugs doxxed or made to suffer any penalties of any kind? Of course not.
@IainMui83778448@Sargon_of_Akkad War or No War. They’ll come. They’ve been coming and will continue to do so. We had attacks in France in the 70s, Spain in the 80s, France in the 90s. Before Iraq, Afghan or Iran wars. It’s just who they are. They’ve been doing it for centuries.
