😱 CLIMATE CHANGE CAUGHT ON CAMERA!

Mother Nature’s latest “extreme weather event” just got filmed, and it looks suspiciously like a 12-year-old with a lighter. 🤔

A 12-year-old is filmed sparking FOUR separate fires in a parched West Yorkshire nature reserve only a short distance from a new housing development. His friends walk on ahead, glancing back and laughing while the flames begin racing toward the homes.

Dog-walker Scott Townend, 28, recounted what he saw:

“One of them appeared to be crouching down and the other two were ahead of him walking off but looking back and laughing. As I got closer, it was clear the lad was starting fires in the dry grass.”

The moment the boy realised he had been spotted he fled, abandoning the four uncontrolled fires. Three fire crews were called out and two hectares of grassland ended up destroyed.

Scott later added:

“It’s extremely difficult to understand given the seriousness of what unfolded. This was not simply a case of a child making a minor mistake. He deliberately started multiple fires in dry grass within a public area. The location is surrounded by nature and wildlife, has a railway line nearby, and is also directly next to a new housing estate. The fact that the fire spread so rapidly demonstrated how easily the situation could have escalated and potentially put residents, wildlife and property at risk.”

West Yorkshire Police said: “A crime of arson has been recorded and investigated. Positive lines of inquiry are ongoing.”

Yet sources indicated the 12-year-old is unlikely to face charges and will probably receive only a stern talking-to.

The National Fire Chiefs Council noted that the majority of grassland blazes were “avoidable” and often man-made.

This wasn’t “climate change”. It was a smirking 12-year-old with a lighter and no consequences.

Keep blaming the weather though. 🙃

They keep telling us the public has moved to the right. The public hasn’t moved anywhere. They’re standing exactly where they were in 2019, waiting for somebody to do the thing they voted for.

Tom Cruise trying to keep a straight face around Catherine Tate's Nan is funnier than I expected. Agree?

The best part is watching Tom Cruise go along with the bit instead of trying to steal it. That makes the whole exchange even better.

Catherine Tate never has to explain why Nan works. She stays completely committed, and everyone else just has to keep up.

You don't get moments like this in every celebrity interview. When guests are happy to play along, it feels less like promotion and more like genuine fun.

Hold on a minute....

Ten years ago, an extra 2% charge was added to our council tax bills to help fund local social care

The Adult Social Care Precept

So what happened to that money?

So, the rules are if you have right wing views and post incitement to violence to almost no followers you go to jail instantly.

If you do so as the leader of a left wing party with one of the biggest social followings in the UK, you don’t even have to apologise.

Britain, 2026.

The mainstream media has tried to portray the wildfires that is happening in Europe now as a result of climate change.

France just announced they have arrested 162 people in connection with starting fires.

We're paying for Andy Burnham's new office. We paid for the private jet to get him there. We're paying for the bloke videoing him. We're paying for the social media team who put it out. And while he's filming this nonsense, he's not actually doing anything to improve our country.

But, y'know, VIBES.

🚍📉 Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander is out celebrating the £2 bus fare cap this morning as if it’s some groundbreaking victory for working people.

Let’s be clear: the Labour Party deliberately raised it to £3 from January 2025. Now, 18 months later, they’re reversing their own decision and calling it progress.

Another U-turn sold as triumph. They really do think we have no memory.

One of my favourite Falklands facts:

When the referendum was held in 2013 about whether they wished to remain British or become part of Argentina only 3 people voted for Argentina.

There were 18 Argentinians living on the island at the time…
