Thoughtful Little Englander. Same old politics yields same old results. Interests: - politics, heritage, environment, karma, farm animals, the arts.

@Telegraph Clever guy.

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

The Spectator reveals that the Treasury, the govt’s economic epicentre, has scrapped numerical reasoning tests ( Google them, they’re v hard) from its grad scheme because it was stopping minority candidates getting through.
So ethnicity is more important than numeracy.
God help us

@nickdhurt Boris Johnson wanted 10 years. So did Keir Starmer. Now Burnham. No independent thought.

[S. Hill @SHill150]

@DPJHodges On the contrary, they want him, it just proves he's got it.

Residents were told that the £250k newbuild homes on village estate were ‘meant for social housing.’

That was a lie. 83 asylum seekers will be moving into them, dupping it ‘migrant street.’

We’re paying for this whilst some hardworking taxpayers could never afford these homes.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Want a brand new home worth £250,000 but can’t afford it?

Simply break into Britain and you get to live in one for free.

Remember, this is what the Tories and Labour did to you.

I dont care if @Nigel_Farage was gifted 5 gazillion trillion dollars before he was an mp. And all British patriots agree with me 🇬🇧. Nigel has the answers for all the crap thats happen in our once great country🇬🇧

Does he have flaws? Of course he does he's only human.
But unlike all the other parties, he will put British people first.

[S. Hill @SHill150]

The only silver lining is that Britain will have to start producing its own milk again - and much more- eventually.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

It is a grey morning in 2026. The cows go in for milking at half past five, the same as every morning for forty years. This is the last time.

The herd is a hundred and twenty Friesians. The farmer knows most of them by sight, some by name, and a few by the particular trouble they cause. His father built the parlour. His grandfather bought the first of the land.

He gets forty-four pence a litre for the milk. Two miles away the same milk sells for seventy-two. The maths stopped working three years ago, and he has been farming on his overdraft and his stubbornness ever since.

His father died in the winter. The inheritance tax bill that landed this spring, calculated on land valued by buyers who want it for carbon and have never kept an animal, is more money than the farm has cleared in a decade.

There is no vet within forty minutes any more. The young ones do cats in the town, and the last large-animal practice for miles cut its farm work last year.

He cannot find anyone to take it on. His son saw all of this coming and trained as an engineer, and he does not blame him.

So the cows are sold. The herd that took three generations to build is gone by Friday, loaded into a single line of lorries. The parlour falls silent for the first time since 1985.

The land is bought by a fund that plants it with trees, to offset the emissions of people he will never meet. The barn becomes a holiday let.

And a long way off, a ship is already loaded with the milk that used to come from his field, bound for a country that decided, one reasonable policy at a time, that it would rather not bother making its own.

I'm deeply unhappy that Nigel Farage was gifted £5 million by Christopher Harborne.

It should have been £10 million.

[spiked @spikedonline]

Andy Burnham says he wants to ‘rewire Britain’. But who gave him a mandate to do that? He was elected by the people of Makerfield not the people of the UK. Overhauling the country without the consent of the people is an outrage, says Brendan O’Neill

[Arron Banks @Arron_banks]

Burnham will need millions of new homes for the open door immigration policy he supports. Labour love importing voters, conservatives love the cheap labour it supplies…

@RWTaylors People always like shiny new things for a bit.

@BackBrexitBen If Farage can sort out Britain I would give him a £billion if I had it.

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

Has Shabana Mahmood lost her mind?

This week, she is set to announce a ‘Homes for Ukraine’-style migrant scheme for conflicts all around the world.

For context, that scheme took in over 200,000 Ukrainians.

This must not stand.

What nations do Labour have in mind?

Sudan. You know who is Sudanese? Deng Majek, the illegal migrant who murdered Rhiannon Whyte - stabbing her 23 times with a screwdriver.

And Mohamed Harun, a refugee who raped a woman and told the judge sentencing him “fuck England”. In fact, over a third of Sudanese criminals in prison here have committed sex offences.

Mahmood also wants to prioritise Eritrea.

We’ve had rapists and attempted murderers from Eritrea these past few years. Eritreans here are more than 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than British citizens.

No doubt Labour will open the floodgates to thousands of Palestinians too.

Labour say they’ll cap the number of people in the scheme at the tens of thousands. But, over time, they’ll all bring in their extended families. The ‘chain migration’ will be catastrophic.

It's all modelled on a Canadian scheme that's let 400,000 migrants in, and nearly 100,000 in the last five years alone. In fact, the Canadian Government have paused their scheme because it’s so unpopular.

Labour have no mandate whatsoever for this. If Burnham wants one, he must call a general election.

The British people have made it abundantly clear: we don’t want anymore migration like this.

When it comes to so-called ‘asylum seekers’ from nations very different to our own, we are long past full.

A Reform government will reverse this ridiculous scheme.

Or, better yet, the whole thing should be cancelled now.

[S. Hill @SHill150]

@SandyofSuffolk And who are the council houses for ? No mention of immigration from Burnham.

[Brunte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 @Brunte84]

🚨 Andy Burnham's big speech

No Policies
Nothing on immigration
Nothing on Defence
Nothing on Welfare
Nothing on net zero

No questions from the media

What was the point 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Mayuran Senthilnathan 🇬🇧 @MayuranSenthil]

This is what happens when you have a messiah complex and have spent years cutting ribbons.

Is he going allow local areas to set their own corporation tax?

Is he going to allow them to drill into the North Sea and scrap net zero subsidies?

Will he let them have their own borders so only high earners can live and invest there?

Local governments cannot fix the country.

This is going to be a monumental waste of time and money that will make the public lose even more faith in politics.

[Dr. Serge Zaka (Dr. Zarge) @SergeZaka]

+1000% de mortalité chez les poules, +200% chez les porcs, +45% chez les bovins.

Plusieurs millions d'animaux d'élevage sont morts sous l'effet de la canicule. Nous sommes en train de vivre une catastrophe agricole majeure, qui rejoint le traumatisme de 2003 comme étant les deux plus grandes hécatombes animales de l'histoire récente de l'agriculture française.

Face à l’afflux de carcasses, les autorités bretonnes autorisent à titre exceptionnel l’enfouissement des animaux morts dans le sol même des exploitations agricoles.

Et cette surmortalité est observée dans l'ensemble des élevages : du Label Rouge (accès à un parc extérieur arboré) au bâtiment ventilé, du bio au conventionnel. Sans compter le traumatisme de l'éleveur.

Je suis en colère. Nos débats se focalisent sur la climatisation ce qui nous fait passer à côté du véritable problème : écosystèmes souffrants, eau eutrophiée et prolifération de cyanobactéries, mortalité forestière, mortalité des oiseaux... Depuis des décennies, les gouvernements successifs appliquent une politique du sparadrap à court terme : on s'efforce de limiter les dégâts plutôt que de s'attaquer aux causes du problème...

L'adaptation de l'agriculture française au changement climatique reste largement insuffisante au regard des défis qui nous attendent. Les agriculteurs sont prêts à s'adapter. Ce qui fait défaut, ce sont une vision politique ambitieuse, des investissements à la hauteur des enjeux et une stratégie cohérente pour préparer l'agriculture de demain.

Il faut un véritable plan national de rénovation des bâtiments d’élevage, soutenu par une politique publique ambitieuse, et qui ne repose pas uniquement sur les épaules des agriculteurs : ventilation, brumisation, douches, gestion des flux d'air et des matériaux, ombrage des bâtiments, parcs arborés, aménagements extérieurs.

Tant qu'on parle d'ambition ? Donner aux éleveurs les moyens de produire en France, durablement et avec fierté, plutôt que de dépendre d'importations de viande à bas coût.

La production de viande (notamment rouge) émet des gaz à effet de serre. Autant privilégier une viande française, issue autant que possible d'élevages au pâturage, qui répondent à des exigences environnementales et de bien-être animal plus élevées. Cela implique sans doute d'en consommer moins, mais de meilleure qualité, pour celles et ceux qui choisissent d'en manger.

On vit une catastrophe agricole, mais on pourra au moins manger des cailloux dans une bulle d'air climatisée. C'est tellement agréable. J'ai besoin de prendre l'air après ces jours intenses. Je suis fatigué.

[S. Hill @SHill150]

@Bbmorg No. He deserves every penny.

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

American immigration enforcement agencies are currently deporting 35,000-40,000 illegal migrants EVERY MONTH.

They deported 442,000 in the year 2025 alone.

The BBC is outraged by this. But I think many British people would like to see the same. Don’t you?
