🚨 Good morning Britain. Two days ago a teenage girl was stabbed in the neck on a public street in broad daylight in Brierfield, Lancashire. She is recovering at home. A 30 year old man is in custody for attempted murder! The local Labour MP's first response was not to demand answers about knife crime. It was to go on X and tell the British public not to "exploit" the incident for "clickbait." Belfast. Then Brierfield. Knife crime at record levels. And Labour MPs are more concerned with policing your reaction than explaining why it keeps happening on their watch. RT if you are done being told to stay quiet. 🇬🇧🔥

Hey @elonmusk is there any chance you may be able to help these folks out? denbypottery.com/pages/save-…

hi all. It has been a while but at last I have a new vid posted on YouTube. 😃 Olympus Sunrise youtu.be/t4KgM5lUYoM?si=-b67… via @YouTube

🚨 WATCH: A paraglider gets hit by a Cessna 172 near the Austrian town of Zell am See. The paraglider was able to pull her rescue parachute and land safely shortly after the incident on Saturday. According to police, the 44-year-old Austrian had started from Schmittenhöhe in the direction of Piesendorf. Above the Pinzgauer Hütte, she collided at 1:15 p.m. with the Cessna piloted by a 28-year-old. The pilot of the Cessna, which flew from the Glemm Valley in the direction of Zell am See, was able to land the aircraft safely at Zell am See Airport. Video: sab_thi

Dayam. RIAT cancelled for this year.

Ahhh fame at last... If only. Had an amazing relaxing day capturing some stunning tine lapse of Mt Olympus doing its thing. @CanonUKandIE @PieriaView @VisitDion #liveforthestory #NatureScenery #visitgreece #photography

Morning all. What a view to wake up to. Mt Olympus sparkling in the morning sun. @OlympusRiviera4 @PieriaGuide #liveforthestory #sunriseoftheday #pieria #nature

Hi @Keir_Starmer There’s really no need for you to address Parliament tomorrow. Your time would be much better used holding an audience with the King to tell him you’re calling for a general election ASAP. Sincerely, The British People

Here is some genealogy research for you. @GretchenInOK @rickfr01 x.com/HappyMotorhead/status/…

Dear Prime Minister & Home Secretary, I hope this letter finds you well, fully caffeinated, and in possession of a calculator. I’m writing with what I believe is a modest, fiscally responsible proposal. I understand the Government is offering up to £40,000 to certain individuals to voluntarily leave the United Kingdom. First of all — bold strategy. Nothing says “strong borders” quite like a cashback scheme. Now, I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a fully tax-paying, law-abiding British citizen. I know — awkward. I appreciate this may disqualify me from the premium exit package, but I’m willing to negotiate. I would like to formally apply for £35,000 to leave. You see, unlike some applicants, I haven’t broken any laws to get here. I didn’t arrive by dinghy. I didn’t require processing, housing, or legal appeals. I’ve actually been funding the whole operation through PAYE for years — which I believe makes me a loyal shareholder in this enterprise. Given that you’re prepared to offer £40,000 for someone to depart voluntarily after entering illegally, I feel £35,000 for someone who’s been here legally all along represents excellent value for money. Think of it as a “Buy British, Get One Gone” discount. For £35,000 I will:    •   Leave quietly.    •   Not require a press conference.    •   Not demand a diversity officer to wave me off.    •   Even carry my own suitcase to the airport. I may also tweet a polite thank-you note on departure, praising the efficiency of the scheme. Frankly, it feels like I’ve misunderstood how incentives work in modern Britain. All these years I thought obeying the law, paying taxes, and contributing to society were the winning strategy. Turns out the real pro-move is to arrive unlawfully and wait for a loyalty bonus. Who knew? While British families are juggling rent, energy bills, and the weekly food shop like contestants on a dystopian game show, it’s reassuring to know the Treasury has located a spare £40,000 per head for voluntary goodbyes. May I ask — is there a points card? Ten years of National Insurance contributions and I get a free exit bonus? If so, I believe I’m overdue. In the spirit of fairness and fiscal responsibility, I am not even asking for the full £40,000. I’m trimming £5,000 off to help balance the books. That’s the kind of responsible budgeting I was raised on. If successful, I promise to:    •   Leave via a scheduled flight (economy is fine).    •   Not stage a protest on the runway.    •   And refrain from re-entering on a small boat to see if I qualify twice. All I ask is equal treatment. If departure is now a funded career pathway, I would very much like to submit my CV. Yours in hopeful relocation, A slightly confused taxpayer

Keir, to be very clear with you. I’m American so I don’t know everything about your system but you didn’t win a mandate. The Conservative Party governed for fourteen years and totally betrayed their voters so your party was voted in simply because you were the other option at the time. You have now proven to them that you are even worse than the pathetic Conservative Party so they want you gone. You say you’ll never all away from the country that you love but I can’t tell which country that is. Mauritius? Ukraine? Africa? Pakistan? It certainly can’t be the UK because it’s soooooo clear that you HATE everything the UK stands for and you HATE the citizens of the UK. They come last in your book. You allow them to pay exorbitant taxes to fund rapists, pedophiles and other types of scum to migrate into your country and do whatever it is they want to do. You have sold your people and your country out. You’re a traitor to every single value that the British hold dear. I say this as an outsider who will never be British. You’re a parasite. The lowest of the low. I wouldn’t even say anything but I know my British friends CANNOT say anything because you’ll arrest them if they even speak up against you. You’re a petty little tyrant who has no business running a kebab shop, let alone a country. Now, go ahead and ban me from the country like you’ve done with the rest of your foreign dissenters. Go and let a million Moslem rapists in instead. Absolute bellend of a man.

It's been a while but at last got a new vid uploaded. The day I got beat by the weather.... youtu.be/Q8er_vshN9M

I am so thankful to have been able to grab this shot when I did. It tells me, as it does all of you... Above the clouds, there is this thing called the Sun. @CanonUKandIE @BenroTripods @Nature @AMAZlNGNATURE #liveforthestory #sunrisemagic

A year gone by from a truly amazing time at a cabin in #Kentucky.

OMG, this is crazy!!

Evening all. To all of my friends, family, loved ones etc wishing you all a very Happy Christmas.

This is what Scotland is about… Scottish and British military band in full effect Not one pally, Syrian, Lebanese, Pakistan or any other foreign flag Why because this is our culture and our tradition. If these men and women offend you you are more than welcome to leave

So let me get this right…We are demonised for flying our flag but now the government wants us to go and fight for it? Keir Starmer, I have news for you. Every masculine, able bodied, strong, patriotic, man who loves his country has been demonised for years by people like you. We were called “dangerous” “far-right” “racist” “thugs” for simply wanting to preserve our home. Now you beg for a fighting force because “Russia is our greatest threat”??? Why not send the blue haired, they/them’s to do it for you? And while you’re at it, send all of the immigrants that you state are the “future of Great Britain”. Proper British Men are going nowhere, sunshine. We are staying right here to protect our women and children. We don’t take orders from politicians who despise us. And we don’t fight wars for leaders who hate their own people. Besides… we’ve got a National Strike to prepare for.

They’re beating the war drums again — Russia this, Russia that — puffed-up soundbites from people who’ve never worn a uniform, never buried a mate, and wouldn’t last ten minutes if their Deliveroo was late. Let’s start with the obvious lie they keep hoping we won’t notice: we don’t have a fighting force. Not a serious one. Not one fit for a major war. We’ve hollowed it out, downsized it, outsourced it, and then had the audacity to clap politely at remembrance events while gutting it the rest of the year. You don’t win wars with PowerPoint slides and diversity briefings. First: Ukraine is not our conflict. Sympathy? Yes. Aid? We’ve given plenty. But British sons and daughters bleeding for a border dispute thousands of miles away while our own borders are treated like an optional suggestion? Jog on. Second: the UK has already done enough for Europe — historically, repeatedly, and at obscene cost. Twice last century we stepped in while others hesitated, paid in blood, debt, and broken generations… and now we’re expected to bankroll and backstop the continent again while being lectured about our past by people who did sweet nothing when it mattered. Third: patriotism. Remember how loving your country suddenly became embarrassing? How flags were sneered at, pride mocked, history rewritten, and anyone who actually gave a damn was branded thick, racist, or “problematic”? Now — magically — they want patriotism back. Funny that. Apparently it’s only acceptable when they need bodies, not opinions. And fourth — the big one — what the fuck are we fighting for? Our home country? The one that’s run down, hollowed out, crime-ridden, and visibly decaying? Where towns look like they’ve been forgotten on purpose, public services are a shambles, and working people are told to shut up and pay more for less? Where law-abiding citizens feel like second-class inconveniences and criminals get understanding, excuses, and early release? You don’t inspire people to fight by telling them their country is awful — then suddenly demand they die for it. You don’t mock pride, erase identity, neglect communities, and then act shocked when no one’s queuing up to sacrifice themselves. This isn’t about defence. It’s about distraction. It’s about posturing. It’s about politicians playing geopolitical dress-up while the nation beneath them quietly crumbles. If Westminster wants a war, maybe they should first explain what Britain is supposed to be worth fighting for again — because at the moment, they’ve spent years doing everything possible to convince people it isn’t. No mercy. No confusion. Just the truth they hate hearing
