The largest petrochemical centre in Europe was in Teesside with international investors and operators.

All of the UK petrochemical companies were there too. Private businesses.

They didn’t require subsidies, but paid for power and steel and other commodities at market rates, accounting for 100,000+ quality UK jobs across the supply chain and playing a major part in UK exports.

Anything associated with the “North” of England, never mind the IMF restrictions, which funds were propping up underperforming nationalised industries like British Steel, were “tarred with the same brush” as mining and the “War on the Unions”.

The vast majority of British heavy industry was dismantled by the 1990’s.

Communities and countries become less vibrant when there are no jobs for skilled craftsmen to do, processing local, natural resources. What Lady Thatcher did was deeply shortsighted.

Blair however, with very different intentions to Lady Thatcher, saw an opportunity to tie the UK forever to the scrofulous international institutions, undermining UK sovereignty at every step, leading us into this terminal downward spiral of lowest common denominator thinking resulting in a miasma of mediocrity.

If the UK doesn’t reindustrialise and reclaim its sovereignty both externally and internally economically it will be finished in the early 2030’s and culturally by the early 2040’s.

Fani Willis prosecuted Trump for “election subversion” for suggesting there might be fraud.

Someone just committed Voter Registration Fraud against her by switching her address to Trump Tower.

If only there were a bill called the SAVE America Act that would have prevented this.

Remember when Angela Rayner’s department lost the islamophobia notes then claimed they deleted them under GDPR laws?

Well its absolute bollox, It turns out they lied to Parliament and the files were found completely intact on their IT systems

Now they are refusing to release them because they are shitting it we will find out exactly which islamist groups wrote the policy

This is a cover up to hide who is pulling the strings in government

Release the documents now Rayner

Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland:
800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy.
Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year.
One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job.
The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid.
Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.

🚨 President Trump says Lisa Murkowski is CLINGING TO POWER through the Ranked Choice Voting scam in Alaska, and he's SPOT-ON

"They’ve been trying to get rid of Lisa Murkowski forever in Alaska, then she came up with the Ranked Choice Voting SCAM, and pulled a nice hot iron out of the fire. Everyone thought she came in second or third, but then she “won.” Miracles happen!"

Alaska must end ranked choice voting this November. It ONLY helps Democrats and Murkowski

Alaska voted for Trump easily. A person like Murkowski should NOT be representing that state!

Labour’s manifesto promised no return to freedom of movement. Andy Burnham told Makerfield that he would respect the Brexit vote.

Now Lab wants Britain to rejoin the EU’s free movement rules, but Angela is gaslighting us into believing that they aren’t.

I have beautiful news today!!!

I can confirm that the Pennsylvania Amish are STILL HERE working to rebuild Chimney Rock NC after Hurricane Helene...

...a mind-blowing 750 DAYS AFTER THE STORM!!!

It's one of the greatest untold stories of all time.

GOD BLESS THE AMISH!!! ❤️

Local mayors also heading up the police mean more policies like those of Sadiq Khan in London.
This is not moving power closer to the people.
Getting rid of district and borough councils is moving power away from the people.

An oldie but a goodie. In 1968 a bunch of entitled hippy bastards sent a letter detailing their specious demands to the Warden and Fellows of Wadham College, Oxford. This was their letter of reply, which speaks to how far the academy has since fallen.

🚨 JUST IN: Elissa Slotkin is trying to walk back her threat, and nobody’s buying it.

She told young people not to work for Trump, because she wants investigations to make it “more trouble than it’s worth.”

Then she got caught and claimed she only meant lawbreakers.

President Trump is weighing pardons so innocent staffers don’t go through hell and lose everything, like his aide Margo Martin.

Biden already pardoned Fauci, Milley, and the rest. Process as punishment cuts both ways.

People who believe that a solution to life's problems is giving more tax money to the government are people who actually haven't dealt with real problems.

Small example: we had to get Starlink for our property and our vehicles because after government burned down all of the Palisades and Malibu, the utility infrastructure is still so bad, you end up with complete dead zones everywhere; I couldn't manage running a campaign like that. Because one industrialist built a rocket company years ago, we now have an option to directly bypass everyone else's failings while government spends the next 3 decades rebuilding.

All of my savvy neighbors who are rebuilding are investing in fire-defense sprinkler systems on their properties, aggressively managing the vegetation around their homes...they've learned that no matter how much you pay the government, they will not be there when you need them most, their incompetence will likely be the source of the emergency in the first place, and the best thing you can do is insulate yourself from their failures. They won't be there when the fire hits you backyard, they won't be there when the homeless drug zombie stabs you in the neck, but they certainly will be there if the IRS doesn't get their check.

Every smart person who has endured hardship in this country is hellbent on becoming more self-reliant, independent, and off the grid. We call that a clue.

It’s all going fabulously for the EU. I mean who wouldn’t want to be part of the Global plan? … all coming together beautifully.

▪️ France – Rioting, looting, arson and
▪️ Italy – Violent clashes, looting
▪️ Albania – Anti-government riots
▪️ Spain – Mass protests, more welfare
▪️ Portugal – over housing and costs.
▪️ Belgium – Violent demonstrations,
▪️ Greece – Student protests.
▪️ Serbia – Anti-government protests.
▪️ Ireland – Public demonstrations.
▪️ Austria – Demonstrations.
▪️ Germany – Protests over government policies and rearmament.

Welfare for all, no wealthy people, no fossil fuel, no capitalism, no forced work. Everyone should be happy and rich.

Digital ID will sort all this out. How fabulous for the UN 🔥

Today is Election Day in Brazil.

The Communist tyrants who are currently in power came after Brazil’s Trump, Jair Bolsonaro.

He survived an assassination attempt.
They banned him from running for office.
Then they threw him in jail.

They accused him of attempting a coup after his election was stolen, just like they did here to Trump.

He’s currently serving a 27 year prison sentence.

His son, Flávio, is favored to beat Lula and become the next president of Brazil.

The persecution of Bolsonaro has backfired into a political retribution against those who weaponized Government against the people's will.

You might be able to try to silence a man but you cannot silence a movement.

We’re about to witness the greatest political backfire in history.

The people of Brazil are about to take their country back.

The cheap green lie

You are told that solar and wind are cheap

But you need near-100% backup when no sun or wind, paying for two systems

Data for 2025 shows that

cramming in more solar and wind makes electricity overall more and more costly

[Cut My Tax @CutMyTaxUK]

There are at least 800 cases of public sector workers in Scotland who no longer have a job but remain employed, costing taxpayers over £27m a year, probably a lot more.

The SNP is refusing to make them redundant because it has a policy against compulsory redundancy.

One NHS Highland worker has been receiving their full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job any more. Another 26 NHS Highland workers haven't had a permanent role for over 5 years. Other bodies carrying on paying staff despite them not having a job include Police Scotland, Scottish Water and the Scottish Civil Service, a Sunday Times investigation revealed.

The situation is absurd but the SNP government doesn't seem to be bothered.
