🇬🇧 UK lawyer Paul Powlesland cleaned 200 bags of waste from a polluted river.
Fish and dragonflies have returned.
Now he faces up to 2 years in prison for doing it without a permit.
This is modern Britain: punishing people who actually clean up the environment while the bureaucracy strangles common sense.
Absolutely insane.

🚨 I was pulled over just now by these traffice officers on the N1 on my from my farm to Bloemfontein.🚨
The male officer informed me that my drivers license expired a week ago and that he is going to take my car keys to prevent me from driving any further.
I told him he must write me a ticket because I have 3 kids in the car and cannot be without my car, and that I am going to call my husband to come assit me, because he is not being reasonable.
He then tried to take my car's keys and my telephone and I closed my window so fast because he was getting aggressive. I told him that he cannot do what he is doing, and he said he can do anything he wants to, because he is an officer of the law and not me.
He started writing the ticket and then went to his car to call a female officer. On her arrival I opened my window again to talk to her and just as the conversation went a bit south, she put her arm through the open window and slapped me through my face twice.
I struggled to close my window with her arm halfway through it to get another slap at me, and was so shocked! She called me a fucking white person and said that they are not scared of me and she will hit me when and if I get out of my car.
I sat there while they shouted at me over and over that they are not scared of me and they will show me that I am not above the law. It looked like he was taking pictures of me and my car?? To do what with? To harass me on the roads?? I shouted at them that I will lay charges of assault against her, and she said I can go ahead.
My husband arrived and this is a video of their attitudes. We were advised by a police officer of Glen that we must go to the station - we will be helped there with the charges and with my statement.
At the police station the 1 officer and the captain started yelling at us to keep quiet, because we must not tell them how to do their jobs and they want to listen to the officers.
After about 20 minutes we had to leave, because the police was not interested in taking the traffic officers names or to have my statement, because they "have to take the traffic officers' statements first to hear what they have to say and then they will take time to listen to us".
I told the police captain that I was just slapped twice through my face by an officer in front of a 12 year old, 11 year old and a 10 year old who are now so scared of a traffic officer and that I want to lay a charge. And she just said she does not need to take any statements from me and I must stop telling her what she must do.
Even Botha realized that there is absolutely NOTHING to be done and we better leave before we get arrested for trying to speak!!!!! If you open your mouth, you get shouted at in Sotho by police officials!!!!
I cannot even lay a charge at a police station, because they say they don't have to hear anything I have to say and that the traffic officer says she will never do something like that!!!!!Now here I am.
What the hell!!! Go back tomorrow to just get another useless SAPS officer? And get pulled over by the same people obviously now going to target me, as this is the road I have to drive to the city?
PLEASE SHARE that their faces and this absurdness can spread as far and wide ⁉️
Government invested R18 billion in pension funds in 23 companies and lost 100% of its money https://t.co/fVS3IER5qs— Parliament intervene and appoint an Adhoc Committee to investigate these looters . LaMasela are looting worker’s pension with impunity .
🇺🇸 The Trump administration has ended PEPFAR — the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief for South Africa, citing the government’s failure to protect White South Africans from violence and displacement.
According to the State Department, Pretoria failed to meet several demands, including condemning race-based incitement such as the “Kill the Boer” song, prioritising rural crime, and preventing expropriation without fair compensation.

Watch this horrifying video showing how Nigerian drug lords are abusing girls in #SouthAfrica ... some as young as 6 years old... as sex slaves in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Bloemfontein and other cities by forcing drugs on them.
The video shows how Nigerian drug lords in practically every city in the country bring white girls under their control through forced drug injections and then exploit them as sex slaves in the most unscrupulous ways. Many are trafficked to Israel, Ukrain, Europe, and America.
🚨🇫🇷 NEWS: A French woman was given a six month suspended sentence and a €3,000 fine after her home was invaded by a Tunisian migrant who sexually assaulted her.
She appeared on national television to discuss her ordeal and said "the main danger for women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men"
The Police then charged her with "incitement to racial hatred"
Her appeal against this punishment is due later today
You have our support @ThaisEscufon 🙏

We stand fully with General Mkhwanazi🙏🏽✨️🇿🇦
Why does the media give nonstop coverage to a 16-year-old reading from a script, but completely ignore a real climatologist with over 140 scientific papers who calls climate change a hoax? This is media manipulation. 😡🤡

We dont deserve this as a country😣
Cyril Ramaphosa has now decided to try to stop the impeachment committee from starting by launching an interdict against parliament. This is from the same person who said he wanted the truth to come out and not delay the process.
Video Link: https://t.co/lnlVRUc2aK
John Steenhuisen will largely be remembered as the man who, when the spotlight fell on him in the Oval Office, chose to cover for his boss Ramaphosa rather than tell the uncomfortable truth about what was happening back home in South Africa. Uncomfortable truths he freely acknowledged until the moment he got a government job.
Credit to @geordinhl for wielding the axe on a tree bearing bitter fruit.
If Ramaphosa has nothing to hide on Phala Phala, why rush to court to block the impeachment inquiry? True integrity welcomes scrutiny. Let the process run and clear your name. Delaying just fuels suspicion... Unless of course...
In a recent @News24 interview, Lieutenant-General Patekile claimed he was unaware of SAPS members being involved in the taxi industry.
That is simply not true.
The SAPS was formally made aware of these allegations.
On 17 March 2026, I submitted a detailed enquiry containing the names of members, the stations they were attached to and requested clarity on what disciplinary and criminal measures would be taken against them.
Section 46 of the SAPS Act prohibits SAPS members from owning minibus taxis, while SAPS National Instruction 18 of 2019 further prohibits any direct or indirect involvement in the taxi industry.
We followed every process. We submitted the evidence. We sent numerous follow-up emails. The only responses received were acknowledgements that the matter was "being looked into."
Now, after months, maybe even years of inaction, the Provincial Commissioner wants South Africans to believe he knew nothing.
He knew. SAPS knew.
More than 20 members have since been criminally charged, more than 10 have resigned and additional reports continue to emerge.
The facts are clear. The paper trail exists. The evidence was provided.
Lieutenant-General Patekile lied.
South Africans deserve honest leadership, accountability, and a police service that enforces the law equally not one that ignores it until exposed.
Here is one of the videos where I once again brought it up in parliament to the acting police minister and acting national commissioner.
South African farmer and asylum seeker @Jason2bartlett explains how American Democrats AND the South African government are trying to hide the evidence of the mass killings of white people in South Africa:
“South Africa is in turmoil… It is one of the most hateful nations towards minorities, including myself… and with the farm murders, there’s more than 180 farm attacks every year. Dozens and dozens of murders. There’s approximately a murder every 7 to 10 days. It's not just normal murders. It's torture… 8 black men broke in [to my cousin’s home], and it was deemed a 'normal break-in.' And they shot him through the back of the head… they then threw him in the fire, burnt him with a grill, and urinated on him while they sang, ‘die, white bastard’. And his little girls had to witness this.
There’s evidence everywhere, and the problem is that South Africa is a DEI project that has failed tremendously. So the American Left are hiding it [along] with the South African media… Also remember the people that are in South Africa, if they speak up, they’ll suddenly be disappeared or be doxxed. The main news will come out and actually state that 'we are going to be cancelling you,' and they show your home address, and all of a sudden you've got to be quiet for your safety.”
