22 August 1941 | Hungarian Jewish girl Beรกta Donner was born.
In May 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
Well said Ian Botham:
โWhitehall is turning England into a tinderbox. Defraโs response to climate change has been to sharply increase vegetation. Over the past 20 years its cuts in upland cattle and sheep grazing led to a 25 per cent increase in highly flammable grass.
Another genius move has been to stop preventative burning of heather. During damp winter months these burns safely prune the dead material which is then replaced by younger plants. It is the dead heather that is combustible. And thanks to Defra we now have 74 per cent more of it. The winter burns used to create firebreaks. Now we have huge expanses of continuous, ageing vegetation. The result is disaster after disaster.
When Downing Street starts asking questions of Defra, jaws will drop. Why did it further restrict winter burns despite the National Fire Chiefs Council warning this risked the lives of "firefighters and the public"? How come it also ignored the pleading of top wildfire scientists not to go ahead?
In 2007, officials said that stopping winter burns would produce "a much increased risk" of wildfires. Which is exactly what we are getting. Rewilded land going up in smoke.
Other countries have learnt the hard way. Australia and California tried suppressing the prescribed burns that indigenous people had used for tens of thousands of years. By some calculations, dozens died before their governments saw sense. What will it take for ours to wake up?
This is a crisis caused by years of Whitehall grabbing power away from the countryside.โ
12 August 1941 | A French Jewish girl, Annie Nakache, was born in Constantine (Algeria). She lived in Toulouse. A daughter of a swimmer Alfred Nakache.
In January 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her parents. She was murdered in a gas chamber with her mother Paule.
11 August 1942 | A transport of 559 Jews deported from #Westerbork in the German-occupied Netherlands arrived at Auschwitz. After the arrival selection, 164 men & 131 women were registered.
The remaining 264 people were killed in a gas chamber, incl. a 2-year old Magdalena Dora Blau.
The UK state pension is ยฃ241.30/wk after 35 years of National Insurance contributions.
The guaranteed minimum income for someone who has paid ยฃ0 into the system is ยฃ238.00/wk.
A lifetime of tax and hard work is officially valued at ยฃ3.30 a week. You couldn't make it up.
This bastard Pat McFadden has committed an egregious act.
He has docked veteransโ benefits in a stealth raid on military pensions.
Former serviceman are being ordered to repay thousands of pounds because the Department for Work and Pensions classifies their military pension as โunearned income.โ
Itโs absolutely disgusting that migrants receive so many freebies when we canโt even see to the security of our own servicemen.
Why does Labour hate our armed forces?
A man gets into a car with a stick, drives hundreds of miles to brutally murder the beloved elderly matriarch of Reform UK.
The authorities offer no information, but if you ask questions they admonish you for โspeculatingโ.
Reform MPs demanding security from the state are told to shut up and be grateful that โthe police know where their house isโ and the โdirect telephone number to the policeโ to call if someone tries to murder them.
Reveal that the Speaker of the House has totally ignored letters from Reform MPs about their safety and he briefs the press that heโs โfuriousโ, while failing to deny this.
If you go to lay flowers in memory of your friend you are โpoliticisingโ her murder.
If you push back against any of this, you are hounded to the ends of the earth by the Times, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Mirror, and hundreds of crazed leftists online.
These, apparently, are the new rules for Nigel, for Reform MPs and all those in our movement.
None of it will deter us.
We will fight on.
For Ann.
For our country. ๐ฌ๐ง
How is this not a hate crime? How can this excuse of a human get away with saying this about a murdered elderly woman! She/he/they/shim should be sacked from Aberdeen University! Imagine your child being educated by this! @aberdeenuni
Labour is banning asylum seekers from being housed near schools and nurseries.
A government does not legally mandate buffer zones to separate a specific demographic from children unless it has assessed that demographic to pose a distinct safeguarding risk.
This policy is effectively a formal admission that these unvetted foreign nationals being housed at the taxpayerโs expense present a risk to British children.
I have written to the Home Secretary, who has effectively admitted she is willing to sacrifice British children at the altar of her political ideology.
Given she has accepted the risk these men pose to British children and is choosing to let them roam free anyway, every crime they commit, every victim whose lives they change forever is her responsibility.

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is
Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?
And somehow that is the whole point
I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it
From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again
When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak
The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them
But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus
Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it
A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it
And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care
And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off
He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard
That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show
We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product
That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was
And that is exactly why we keep watching
Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!
๐จThe BBC caught red handed.
Remember the Question Time episode where illegal migrants were planted in the audience to lecture me and the country on our border policy?
We now have *confirmation* the BBC PLANTED there and they were COACHED on what to say by a charity pushing for open borders.
The CEO of this 'charity', Jenni Regan, was also in the audience and chosen to ask a question.
Note, when I formally complained to the BBC about this and explicitly asked them if the audience members were coached, the BBC refused to answer.
Now we know why.
One of these men who broke into the country began reading a statement warning against Britain leaving the ECHR, even featuring the Northern Ireland protocol!
One of them specifically attacked me and my family.
Because they had been coached to do so.
The BBC is morally bankrupt.
To deliberately plant men who broke into Britain illegally in the audience, allow them to be told what to say and let them launch into attacks on Reform and lecture the British people is disgusting behaviour.
To conceal it is even more outrageous.
They should apologise immediately.
