A farmer in Shropshire is selling his farm this September and nobody has died.

Two hundred and twenty acres. A hundred and forty ewes, seventy suckler cows, a shed with one end held up by a telegraph pole, and a tractor bought new in 1994, which is the last thing on that farm that was bought new. His grandfather bought the place outright in 1961. He is 54 and has never had a penny of debt.

The books say the farm lost eleven thousand pounds last year. It lost money the year before as well.

He is not bad at this. The government's own review, chaired by Minette Batters, found nearly a third of British farms were loss-making in 2024.

On paper the same farm is worth £1.9 million.

Pasture in his county averaged £8,600 an acre last year, and not a pound of that was set by anything he grows. Two blocks within nine miles went to buyers he has never met. One for solar. One described in the particulars as a natural capital opportunity.

His mother is 81 and lives in the bungalow at the top of the lane. When that comes across with the other half of the ground, the two halves clear the £2.5 million threshold, and twenty per cent of the excess is a bill in six figures on a business that has not made money in three years.

His son is a radiographer in Telford and is not coming back. He said so once, kindly, and never made his father ask twice.

So it goes now, while he can still choose which fields and to whom. He is selling the good ground first, because you cannot raise a bill off the rough.

The Treasury collects nothing from any of this. The sale happens years before the tax event, so there is no tax event left to have.

What Britain loses is a hundred and forty lambs and seventy calves a year, off ground that will never produce food again, in a country that already imports forty per cent of what it eats and has just had its worst cereal harvest since records began.

That is one farm. There are thousands of them, doing the sums at the same kitchen table this month.

The beef on your shelf this Christmas will come from Brazil, and the price will be higher, and nobody will connect the two.

I am currently undergoing Life saving Treatment from horrific damage from the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccines. I am here in Japan at Edogawa Hospital. The Treatment is to clear spike proteins, amyloid blood clots, autoantibodies, and misfolding proteins from the blood using dual filter plasmapheresis and using pre-growth stem cells to help my own body repair itself. This is the only place on the entire planet that offers this treatment. I am patient number 14 here and am witnessing nothing short of miracles. Thanks to the brilliant scientist Kevin McCairn and Dr. Mary Talley Bowden for sending me here. It is truly a miracle watching these patients come back to life. It is the most incredible bonding experience of my life with these amazing survivors. I want to give Pfizer a special thank you for the heart damage, severe blood clotting, multiple organ damage, central nervous system damage, brain damage, microvascular small vessel disease, bleeding from the stomach, esophagus, lungs, and sinuses, destroying my thyroid and having it removed, destruction of my sinus cavities, and the graves disease, gastritis, bleeding under the skin that opens up to sores, and best of all, the small fiber neuropathy. For all of the skeptics of vaccine injury, my labs 100% tell the entire story. Follow the science.

THOUSANDS flooding Trafalgar Square for the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday!

A Christian revival is coming to Britain — and it's about damn time.

We've let our faith be mocked and replaced long enough.

This is our country. This is our Christian heritage.

Stand up, fight back, and reclaim Britain for Christ!

Keir Starmer visited a remote little rural village and asked the inhabitants what his government could do for them...

“We have two big needs,” said a village spokesman, “First, we have a hospital but no doctor.”

Keir whipped out his iPhone, spoke for a while and then said, “I have sorted it out. Let me be clear, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow, you have my word. What is your other need?”

“We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village.”

Tony Pulis: “When we got promoted at Stoke, I called Sir Alex Ferguson up. He told me: Your best chance is making the Britannia a place no-one wants to go.

If any of the top teams go there and praise you, you’re not doing it right.

The bottom line is football is about winning and if you don’t win football matches you aren’t going to be in the job very long.

I never forgot what he said, and as a result we narrowed the pitch in, grew the grass and brought Rory Delap into play. We found a way to win and it worked.

I don’t think I’ve ever been at a football stadium where the crowd and team were so together, we used to play the top teams and the place used to light up.”

[Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC @BishopDewar]

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows:

To:
His Majesty, Charles III,
King of the United Kingdom and the Realms,
Supreme Governor of the Church of England,
Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith.

Your Majesty,

I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled.

Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment.

For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith.

The laws of this land were shaped by it.
The liberties of our people were nurtured by it.
The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it.

From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her.

Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them.

Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age.

Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel.

Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation.

What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state.

It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis.

The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge.

They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation.

Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?”

They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled.

Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.

Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm.

History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ.

That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity.

And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault.

If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed.

The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long.

Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced.

For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender.

You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours.

Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means.

They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them.

For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it.

Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted.

May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown.

Yours faithfully,

Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC
Missionary Bishop
Diocese of Providence
Confessing Anglican Church

🚨 No other country on earth does this:

If a UK citizen moves abroad with no job, no contributions, no private income, what happens?

🇫🇷 France – no welfare until you’ve lived and paid in for years

🇩🇪 Germany – no benefits without work or residency

🇪🇸 Spain you don’t have money to support yourself? No entry

🇺🇸 USA – no free housing, no cash, no healthcare unless you buy it

🇨🇦 Canada – prove you can support yourself or you’re deported

🇦🇺 Australia – welfare only after years of residency

🇳🇿 New Zealand – same, no contributions = no benefits

🇸🇦 Saudi & Gulf States – if you’re not a citizen, you get nothing, ever

❌ Bottom line: there is no country that lets Brits just turn up and live off their welfare system. None.

✅ But Britain does the opposite:

• Free housing
• Weekly cash payments
• Healthcare
• Legal aid
• Schooling

All available immediately. No work. No contributions.

Our pensioners choose between heating and eating.

Our veterans sleep rough.

Our families are crushed by tax while services collapse.

Yet billions are handed instantly to strangers who have given nothing.

This is not fairness.
This is not compassion.
This is national self-sabotage.

If you want to understand why Britain feels invaded while our people struggle, start here 👇

🔹 Hotels full while veterans sleep on the streets

🔹 Families waiting years for housing while arrivals are housed immediately

🔹 NHS queues for British citizens while newcomers get seen on day one

🔹 Taxpayers bled dry while billions are spent on people who never paid a penny in

🔹 Undocumented fighting-age males sheltered without vetting or background checks

🔹 Sharp rise in sexual crimes, rapes and grooming gangs ignored by authorities

🔹 Violent crime increasing while police look the other way to stay “politically correct”

Britain is now a country that abandons the requirements of its own citizens in order to facilitate invading illegal migrants that have zero interest in our societal cohesion.

In every other country, newcomers must contribute first.

Here, the indigenous people are sacrificed for the system.

This isn’t immigration policy.
It’s betrayal.

It’s a full on traitorous attack on the British society, our sovereignty and standards of living.
