Wales is about to pass a law allowing them to fire Politicians who lie.
They will be the first country in the world where Politicians aren't allowed to lie.
It's 2026, it's incredible it has taken so long.
£50,000 raised by churchgoers could go straight to the taxman. I think that is deeply unfair.
The congregation at St Mary the Virgin in Hambleden needs £300,000 for toilets and a small kitchenette. These are not luxuries. They would help older worshippers, families and visitors, and allow the parish to hold more church and village events.
St Mary’s has stood for around 900 years. More importantly, it remains home to a thriving Christian congregation.
The scheme that refunded VAT on eligible work to listed churches has now closed. Donated money meant to keep this ancient church useful and open should not be swallowed by tax.
This active parish deserves our support.
Should church repairs be tax-free?
Having worked in the Home Office, I can tell you these new guidelines for asylum seekers were put together by the same idiots who repeatedly told me that people did not know FGM was illegal, so we needed to “educate” rather than arrest them.
I was then blocked from attending forums because, after all, what would I know as a survivor and a woman from one of these “communities”?
I am beyond angry at this BS. Men who abuse women and girls will simply play dumb, and progressives will use it as an excuse to let them off. This is exactly why we secured stronger protections for women and girls under the Conservatives.
I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone. Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link. Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.
Two BT employees inspecting a pole in my neighbours garden from my drive today. I’ve allowed them unlimited goodwill access for weeks now to inspect two poles in respective neighbours gardens which are awkwardly sited. ‘What’s happening’ I ask….cocky female BT employee ‘and who are you’…..She now knows😁But her attitude and tone stank, and all goodwill and access is now withdrawn😎
A spokesperson on BBC Breakfast just now saying they may have to cull some of the stags because of near miss incidents with humans getting too close.
There are silly people who go way too close to the Deer even with signs all around the place.
These are WILD animals, keep your distance. It’s not rocket science!!!
I don’t care that Harry and Meghan are coming back to the UK.
I care that the government is having to make nine page manuals for illegal migrants on why rape and paedophilia is wrong.
IF we have to issue these to people who illegally break into the country it means we ARE putting women & girls in increased harms way. Facts matter.
"Britain’s only desalination plant remains idle during drought."
Yep, built at a cost of £250 million to Thames Water customers and it doesn't work.

The average MP is claiming more than £40,000 a year in personal benefits, including for ridiculous things like new phones, electricity, heating and food.
Which everyone has to purchase.
Why don't we talk about this benefit fraud?
DO YOUR JOB !!!!!!!
Whilst you waste taxpayers money on your ridiculous relocation charade @andyburnham 538 ILLEGAL MIGRANT MEN invaded our country in the past 2 DAYS Get your priorities right !!! @LabourParty
Chris Packham went on Gogglebox last week, watched the cartoon at the start of Clarkson's Farm, and announced that most farms are horrible monocultures sprayed with deadly chemicals, the ground pumped full of fertiliser, the animals indoors in crates being crushed and kept in the dark.
A cartoon. Not a farm, not a documentary. The little illustrated title sequence.
Clarkson replied in his Sun column and it is the best two hundred words he has written in years. He called Packham endlessly angry. He noted that the man had erupted in blind fury at the Winnie the Pooh-ish opening credits of a television programme. He pointed out, patiently, that it was a drawing.
Then he dropped the actual grenade.
Packham has been to Diddly Squat. In 2012. He drove there, on purpose, to look at the birds and do a bit of foraging.
Sit with that one.
The naturalist who tells a primetime audience that British farms are lifeless, poisoned industrial monocultures once picked a British farm as the place to go and enjoy the wildlife. And to gather food off the ground. Voluntarily. For pleasure.
If the fields are sprayed dead, what were the birds doing there.
And if the animals were indoors in crates in the dark, you would think he might have raised it at the time, rather than waiting fourteen years and bringing it up on a sofa while looking at a cartoon.
He has doubled down on Instagram since, with a graphic about glyphosate and pig housing, asking whether it is really all happy smiley down on the farm. Which is a fair question to put to a farm. It is a strange question to put to an illustration.
Here is the part that should genuinely annoy people.
Clarkson's Farm has explained British agriculture to the British public better than every campaign, report and documentary of the last twenty years put together. Subsidies, weather, supermarket margins, the lot.
Packham had the platform to join that conversation.
He used it to lose an argument with the title sequence.
Just a quick one.
When a 78 year old woman is murdered in her own home - a place that’s meant to be the safest place of all. YOU don’t need to preface your condolences with, “I didn’t agree with her political opinions.”
It’s OK to simply say, “What a horrible way for someone to die. I’m horrified, and I send my best wishes to her friends and family.”
Jeremy addresses Chris Packham’s derogatory comments about Clarkson’s Farm whilst appearing on Gogglebox.
Mr Packham's comments came as he watched Clarkson's Farm during an episode of Celebrity Gogglebox, where he criticised what he sees as an unrealistic portrayal of farming exclaiming the following -
"Already, right, that's not what a farm looks like. Most farms are horrible monocultures, which have been sprayed with deadly chemicals time and time again. The ground is pumped full of fertiliser, and loads of the animals are indoors in crates, being crushed and kept in the dark."
Mr Clarkson rejected the comments outright and rebutted with the following -
"The endlessly angry Chris Packham went on Gogglebox this week and erupted in blind fury about the Winnie the Pooh-ish opening credits to my farming programme," he wrote.
"Now, of course this kind of stuff plays well in a room full of nose rings and Palestine flags at a vegan activist meeting in Hackney," Clarkson wrote.
"But he was on a television programme, and it didn't play well at all."
"Because it's b*llocks"
"And Chris knows it's b*llocks because, back in 2012, he came to Diddly Squat and spent the day in our woods, foraging and bird watching," he claimed.
"If there had been some animals in a crate, being crushed, I'm sure he would have noticed and said something."
Well said Jezza.
