A one minute silence for Henry Nowak from the English football team in LA later this month is being admirably proposed by fashion designer @jeffbanks_uk. What a wonderful man Jeff so surely is. Please re-post this far and wide. Copy in @Keir_Starmer!!

Two men live in Zone 2 London.
Both are around 30. Both sleep in a one-bed flat.

But only one believes he has a future in the city.

James was born in London.
He went to university, got a degree, found a decent job and now works at a marketing firm near Old Street.

He earns just under £60,000 a year.
On paper, he is doing well.

But every month James opens his payslip and watches a third of it vanish before he ever sees it.

Income tax.National Insurance.Student loan.Then comes the rent.

Nearly £2,000 a month for a small one-bed flat with mould around the windows and a landlord who only renews the tenancy six months at a time.

Every evening James scrolls Rightmove looking at tiny flats he cannot afford in the city he grew up in.

Even the cheapest one-beds near him now cost around £400,000.

The deposit alone feels impossible despite earning more than most people in Britain.

His parents bought their first home younger than he is now.
James still does not know if he will ever own one.
So he keeps renting.Keeps waiting.
He watches friends delay children.

People earning what used to be considered “good money” still checking every direct debit before payday.

Now meet Shaheed.
He arrived in Britain recently and was granted refugee status.
He does not work.

He lives in a one-bed flat in East London. His housing costs and council tax are largely covered through the welfare system.

He qualifies for free prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests.

He does not spend his evenings worrying whether the next rent rise will wipe out what little he has left at the end of the month.

And this is the part driving so much public anger.

James works full time, pays a fortune in tax and still cannot see a long-term future in the city he was born in.

Shaheed does not work, yet has more housing security than the man whose taxes help fund the system.

That is how a city loses its young people, because they stop believing hard work leads anywhere.

London has to become a city where the people who work, contribute and build lives here can realistically afford homes, raise families and feel secure again.

@NavyLookout Why is T31 that is Babcocks built going to PNB which is run by BAE and T26 that is BAE built going to DNB which is run by Babcocks - absolute madness!

@Looktarnhot My preference would be Newcastle United #NUFC

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by completely destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict. The truth the world refuses to accept:

Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state.
The British Mandate of Palestine was a British territory taken from the defeated Ottoman Empire after 1917. Jews lived continuously in the Holy Land for centuries — long before modern Zionism. They were the majority in Jerusalem under Ottoman rule. Jews legally bought desert land (including the area that became Tel Aviv) and turned it into thriving cities and kibbutzim. Not a single Arab was displaced by these purchases.

The Arabs rejected the 1947 UN partition plan and launched war to destroy the newborn Jewish state. They lost. During that war, Arab armies ordered local Arabs to flee so they could “push the Jews into the sea.” Many did exactly that.

Israel has never committed genocide. It has fought for survival against repeated attempts to commit genocide against the Jewish people. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s regime are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

The historical facts are clear. The propaganda is not.

Share this. The truth needs to be heard.

We're gonna finish as low as when we had Lee Charnley acting as about 100 different roles within the club from CEO to putting the cones out.

It's almost impressive we've got trillionares and property tycoons with the same outcome. Fair play Lee.

Keir Starmer and Zack Polanski are helping themselves to Easter eggs in Waitrose when shop worker Kemi Badenoch bundles in to stop them, only for manager Ed Davey to sack her and side with the shoplifters.

Modern Britain is a baffling place.

[Benonwine @benonwine]

This is a MUST listen and a MUST share.

BBC at its worst.

Even on an average day, Douglas Murray still makes more sense than most of their output and he’s not even in top gear here.

What do you think?

[Gideon Falter @GideonFalter]

Mark my words, it will get worse.

I was never going to be alone in being “quite openly Jewish”.

The cases are coming thick and fast now. Stay out of Birmingham. Dont wear that Star of David in public. How did they think this would play out?

This is where appeasement leads.

After I was stopped by police and threatened with arrest for being “quite openly Jewish”, Rishi Sunak made concerned noises but ultimately let Sir Mark Rowley double down. The marches were allowed to continue and the police were allowed to keep describing them as “peaceful”.

Now under the triumvirate of knights, Sir Keir, Sir Sadiq and Sir Mark, the marches continue and so does the appeasement. Each concession is followed by an escalation of the extremism. The drumbeat grows louder and so do the demands of the mob.

No Jews near our marches. No Jews in our town. And this is just a couple of weeks after Jews were murdered by an Islamist terrorist in Manchester on Yom Kippur.

Appeasement and radicalisation work hand in hand, and they lead to exponential growth.

With each passing week, it becomes harder to apply the brakes.

First they had to stop the celebrations of October 7th, but they didn’t.

Next it was the chants of “Globalise the intifada” and calls for “Jihad”, but they explained them away.

Then they allowed the hate marches to become weekly festivals of criminality and incitement, even allowing a hate march to break the peace on Armistice Day.

What starts as a trickle soon becomes a torrent, and now only immense resolve and show of strength will stop the marches, the calls for intifada, the drumbeat of incitement heard even from doctors, and — I regret to say it — the terrorist murder.

To stop all of this at the outset, they just had to arrest dozens of brazen terrorist supporters and extremists to set a boundary. They didn’t, so it escalated, but they could still have caught up by arresting what were then hundreds. Now there are arrests by the thousand each month but it’s too little, too late.

The extremists are winning.

Our authorities are paralysed by appeasement and two successive Governments have failed to muster the courage and policy to act.

The people of Britain are alive to this at last.

They see what happened after Southport and compare it to what is happening now. They see two tier policing, appeasement, and extremists ruling the roost. They are seeing the pitiful pusillanimous paralysis of our leaders and institutions, and they are making it clear that they want a return to the rule of law that Britain was once famed for.

The recipe is simple: End the appeasement. Enforce the law.

The only missing ingredient is resolve. They’d better find it because the country cannot take much more of this.

Dear British people,

Can you flood social media with this statement?

Retweet it, comment “done”, and let’s see how far we can push this.

Your voice matters — let’s make it echo.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

On October 7, 2023, Hamas showed the entire world how Palestinian Muslims treat Jews.

The useful idiots in the West who support these jihadists won’t survive under Islamic Sharia laws.

Please share this; don’t let the media victimize these terrorists!
