The fact that there is a "debate" about stopping benefits for foreign nationals shows how insane British politics has become.

We should never have provided a penny in benefits to anyone who is not a British citizen in the first place! I say that as someone who lived in Britain for many years as a foreign national.

In 1837, the Shah of Persia gave Queen Victoria a small herd of Kashmir goats as a coronation gift.

She kept them at Windsor for a while, then, for reasons lost to history, sent some of them to live on the Great Orme, a limestone headland sticking out of the North Wales coast like a thumb pointing at Ireland.

That was 189 years ago.

The goats are still there.

Nobody fed them. Nobody bred them. Nobody asked them to stay. They simply did, because the Great Orme is windswept, salt-blasted, vertical in places, and entirely covered in the kind of scrub that goats consider an invitation rather than an obstacle.

There are now around two hundred of them. Pure white, slightly mad-looking, technically still the property of the Crown, which has shown no particular interest in collecting.

During the 2020 lockdown, when the streets of Llandudno emptied, the goats came down off the headland and took the town. They wandered the high street. They ate the hedges of the Premier Inn. They blocked traffic on Mostyn Street and looked at drivers with the calm assurance of animals whose ancestors used to graze with the legions of Cyrus the Great.

A photograph of one of them standing outside a closed pharmacy went around the world.

The goats did not pose for it.

The goats were checking whether the pharmacy had hedges.

It did not.

The goats moved on.

The Royal Welsh Fusiliers' regimental mascot is still drawn from this herd. The Crown Prince of Britain is, technically, the goats' landlord. The goats have not been informed.

The goats are on the Great Orme.

They will outlast the Premier Inn.

They will outlast most of us.

They are not asking for anything.

They never were.

🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile in America

“Look at them crawling out of there - millions of Ticks”

The story is so insane - Farmers continue to report finding Boxes full of Ticks on their farmland, clearly left their on purpose.

Now the US has already seen a sharp increase in the number of Tick related diseases.

The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests.

She’s only 16.
This is pure barbarism.
Share this before they kill her.

It's amazing that the entire British media and political establishment will spend weeks obsessing over how exactly a paedophile's best friend was appointed by our government, while completely ignoring the fact that the government is destroying our economy through Net Zero, bankrupting the country through welfarism and punitive taxation and disarming the country by failing to fund the military despite repeated warnings from senior military figures.

This obsession with trivia is partly human nature, of course. But it's also a dereliction of duty and a reflection of just how unserious our entire political class has become.

Nobody has ever given a full-throated sales pitch for a tin of sardines. That is a market gap.

Allow me.

The tin is food-grade steel, lined, sealed, oxygen removed. The environment inside is more controlled than most restaurant kitchens you have eaten in happily and without incident.

No preservatives. Canning is heat and the absence of oxygen. Just the fish, suspended exactly as they were the day the boat came in.

The omega-3s survive it. Studies comparing fresh to tinned show no meaningful difference in EPA and DHA. The fish was caught, canned within hours, and the fatty acids went nowhere.

The bones are edible. They have been sitting in olive oil long enough to become soft, and they are the calcium delivery mechanism the sardine built for itself. You eat them. That is the intended use.

What the tin actually contains: EPA and DHA in immediately usable form. Selenium, iodine, B12, CoQ10, vitamin D, calcium, complete protein with every essential amino acid.

Your protein shake has twenty-three ingredients. The sardine grew its own nutrition in the North Atlantic and asked for nothing.

A food humans have eaten since before written history now apparently requires a defence.

Buy the tin.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side.
They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will.
So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican?

RFK Jr. made one simple decision that changed everything.

After 14 years of heroin addiction, he read Carl Jung’s book on synchronicity and decided: “I’m going to start believing in God — even if it improves my chances of recovery by just one percent.”

He started “acting as if” there was a higher power watching him, that life was a test, and he had to do the right thing even when no one was looking.

The very same day he finished the book, an improbable synchronicity happened on a volleyball court that made him think, “This is God talking to me.”

It was the beginning of his 43 years of sobriety.

A raw, powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest intellectual leap — “I’ll act as if” — can open the door to real transformation.

Have you ever had a moment where “acting as if” something was true ended up changing everything for you?

The doctors’ strike is only partly about money.
The number of training places available after leaving F2 foundation is tiny. It drives British doctors abroad or prevents them pursuing a specialty. So the NHS appoints less capable foreign applicants.
A shaming fiasco.

Of all the terrible things I have ever read, I think this is the saddest.

I waited until now, hoping with all my heart she would change her mind.

This little girl was gang raped and tried to kill herself, which left her paralysed. So she chose death by state euthanasia instead.

The State didn’t stop her because her organs had been earmarked. It is the most pitiful and disgraceful story of our age.

That her rapists live whilst she chose to die because of them.

May God take her soul and give her peace. Because the human race totally let her down.

Been 9yrs since PC Keith Palmer was murdered by Islamic terrorist Khalid Masood.

Although unarmed, he single-handedly stopped the knife-wielding jihadist from entering parliament and killing MPs.

Despite this, Starmer & his Labour government IGNORED the recent anniversary.🇬🇧
