Nine Christians murdered in Jordan. No relentless sharing of their faces. None of you know their names.
@bbcnews couldn't even be bothered to tell you that two more died of their wounds.
An attack on Christians in Jordan does not fit their narrative. So it must be swept aside.
🚨 NORTH HERTS LABOUR COUNCILLOR & FINANCE VICE-CHAIR CAUGHT IN TAX AVOIDANCE SCANDAL.
A Labour councillor entrusted with scrutinising council finances has stepped down from #NorthHertfordshireCouncil’s Finance, Audit & Risk Committee following a landmark Court of Appeal ruling against a company in which she holds a substantial ownership interest.
Cllr Sarah Lucas (Royston Palace, North Herts) is a director of Principled Offsite Logistics Ltd (POLL) and owns 50% of its controlling parent company, POLL Holdings Ltd.
❓ What does POLL do?
The company places boxes into EMPTY commercial properties to help landlords avoid paying business rates. This form of tax avoidance is known as “box-shifting”.
By temporarily filling otherwise vacant premises with literal boxes, landlords can claim that their buildings were “occupied”, then seek fresh periods of empty-property rates relief.
💰 The company claims to have “saved” clients a shocking £500 MILLION in business rates.
Following a legal challenge, the Court of Appeal ruled that placing boxes in empty properties to secure rates relief did NOT amount to genuine occupation.
The Government subsequently advised councils across England to review similar arrangements and withdraw relief where the legal requirements had not been met.
Lucas has now resigned as vice-chair and member of the committee – yet REMAINS a councillor for Royston Palace.
❌ Stepping down from a committee isn’t enough. We call on Councillor Lucas to resign from the council ENTIRELY.
Labour’s hypocrisy never ceases to astound.

HMRC writing off £13bn in unpaid business taxes due to businesses going into liquidation. Unpaid council tax bills a £7.4 billion. Stamp duty down £500m due to higher rates. North Sea windfall taxes achieving only 25% of forecast. The Laffer curve is everywhere. The country is on its knees.
Angela Rayner talking about “honesty” on #BBCLauraK is like a fox giving a seminar on henhouse security. You almost have to admire her nerve, until you remember she expects people to take it seriously 😂😂
2016 Scotland, hidden from us
45 Confirmed Asylum seekers raped at least 44 girls, with one being raped by 28 of them and another by 23
“Of the 44 underage victims, It's believed one may have been abused by 28 men, with another linked to 23.
55 suspected members of the vile group were identified by officers, with 46 positively identified
All were asylum seekers from the Kurdish, Afghani, Egyptian, Moroccan, Turkish, Pakistani or Iraqi communities”
I wonder what unified them ?
Brutal chart.
France and UK vs. Communist countries at their peak.
UK public spending as % of GDP is currently above Romania, Venezuela and China.
And France is a lost cause.

Heute ist der erste Tag seit Jahrhunderten, an dem Soldaten in Europa unsere Kirchen, unser christliches Erbe vor den Horden des Islamismus schützen müssen. Das waren Angela Merkel und die zerstörerische EU-Ideologie der offenen Grenzen.
My generation dreamt of traveling through Europe by train 20 years ago, but today it's a death wish. Imagine how fast Europe has changed for the worse in a short span. Do you dare to imagine Europe in another 20 years?
This is Bologna, Italy. 🇮🇹
