Want to save the West? Start by telling your children the truth. A society that teaches its children to hate their inheritance shouldn't be surprised when they fail to preserve it. Teach your children gratitude. Teach them why freedom matters. Teach them what made the West successful. Because if you don't tell them the truth about their civilisation, someone else will tell them a lie.

Japanese fans cleaned the WHOLE stadium after Japan tied the Netherlands. Hours later, NYC Knicks fans torched buses celebrating their first NBA title since 1973. Same win, opposite character. Save this and share it with someone who needs to see the contrast.

Honestly this is embarrassing.

¿Está Irán ganando tiempo para una prueba nuclear bajo el pretexto de un acuerdo de paz? Según informes, el Mossad sospecha desde mayo, tras observar actividad inusual en la zona de la Montaña Pico, donde se cree que se encuentra una instalación nuclear subterránea. Altos generales de la Guardia Revolucionaria han realizado visitas frecuentes, mientras que el tránsito de civiles en las zonas aledañas se ha restringido severamente. Esta es una de las razones por la que Israel no está satisfecho con este acuerdo de paz.

“In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman, and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse-racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true, that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention while ‘God Save the King’ was played than of stealing from the poor-box.” — George Orwell, The Lion and the Unicorn (1941) Orwell was pointing out a type of person who sneers at their own country as if that makes them clever. Not because they’ve thought deeply about anything, but because they think mockery itself is a mark of superiority. The tone of it hasn’t changed. The same kind of people are still here. The same smirk. The same false performance of being “above” England. You see it across media, universities, arts, politics - this little ritual of laughing at everything English: the history, the songs, the traditions, the parades, the accents, the villages, the old ways of doing things. As if scorn is the height of sophistication. Meanwhile the ordinary Englishman hasn’t changed. He doesn’t make a spectacle of loyalty, but it’s there - in how he speaks about home, in how he looks after his own, in how he stands when something needs to be stood for. It’s quiet, steady, and real. The divide Orwell talks about is still obvious: There are those who feel duty and belonging. And there are those who think they are above both. The first group doesn’t need to explain itself. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Putin says he doesn't fear the UK because, "they can't even stop rubber boats invading their country or foreign men raping their women and kids." He also said the British people hate their leader.

Spot the difference…

They were suffering from mental health issues the moment they decided supporting Palestine was a good idea. Middle class wankers jumping on the latest lefty bandwagon. They thought they would be hero worshipped as the cool kids that took action, but actions have consequences.

If the 1967 borders are so important, why did they go to war in 1967 when they already controlled that land? Golda Meir laying it out. The quarrel has never really been about territory. It was about refusing to accept Jewish self-determination and the right to exist at all. They started a war. They lost. They cried.

America is building rockets that can go to Mars and is taking AI to new levels. Meanwhile, in Britain, our Government is banning underfloor heating and wants to regulate our use of towel rails. I despair for our future under these student socialist imbeciles.

Ain't this the toof and nothing but.

Agenda 2030 Or The Defence Of The Realm. Starmer Has Made His Choice. John Healey Has Resigned Over It. This morning Britain woke up without a Defence Secretary. By lunchtime it knew why. The numbers tell the story precisely. The Ministry of Defence faces a £28 billion funding shortfall over four years. Healey wanted £18 billion. He was offered £13.5 billion of which defence chiefs regarded only £10 billion as real money. The remaining £3.5 billion was, in the words of the Telegraph, invented through magical accounting tricks. The Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Richard Knighton, took the unusual step of writing directly to Starmer to warn that the money was not enough. The head of the British armed forces writing directly to the Prime Minister is not a routine communication. It is a signal of desperation. Starmer told NATO last week that it is our intelligence assessment that there could be an attack by Russia on NATO as soon as 2030. Those are his words. His government's assessment. Shared with our allies. Four years away. And his Treasury offered the man responsible for defending against that threat an accounting trick and a two page summary instead of a funded plan. Why. Because the money was needed elsewhere. In 2015 every United Nations member state including Britain signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Its 17 goals and 169 targets commit signatory nations to facilitating migration, eliminating inequality, achieving net zero and embedding inclusive institutions. No British parliament voted on it. No British public was consulted. It was adopted at a UN summit and has been implemented ever since through regulatory frameworks, public sector guidance and institutional capture rather than democratic mandate. It is not a conspiracy. It is a publicly available document on the UN website. And its priorities, net zero, welfare, migration, DEI, are precisely the budgets this government has protected while offering the defence of the realm an accounting trick. Ed Miliband refused to cut his net zero budget to fund defence. The Labour Party refused to cut welfare spending that would have freed up billions. The £10 billion in asylum accommodation contracts continues. The DEI infrastructure embedded across British policing, the NHS, the civil service and the education system continues to be funded. Every one of these is a commitment that takes precedence over the defence of the realm in this government's spending decisions. The hierarchy of priorities is now visible. A government that has spent two years embedding progressive transformation across British institutions, protecting the net zero agenda from cuts and managing mass migration has discovered that it cannot simultaneously do all of that and defend the country. When the moment of decision arrived the progressive agenda was protected and the armed forces were handed a two page summary and told to make do. Lord Robertson, the former Labour Defence Secretary and NATO Secretary General, warned in April that Britain was underprepared, underinsured and under attack. He said there was a corrosive complacency in Britain's political leadership. The army has been reduced to its smallest size in 200 years. Seven warships have been axed. The Defence Investment Plan was due last autumn, delayed through winter, missed its spring deadline and has now produced the resignation of the Defence Secretary on the day it was finally meant to be published. Healey's letter says without a plan that meets the moment he is being forced to make decisions that would reduce the readiness of our forces, increase the risk to personnel on operations and could make the country less safe. He had no other option but to resign. In the most dangerous security environment since the Cold War a Labour government has chosen the globalist agenda over the defence of the realm. That choice has now cost it its Defence Secretary. The question is what it will cost the country.

Imagine being PM and losing a Defence Secretary because you were undermining national security by telling porkies about budgets...
