What is different about the despised by the left #USA settler colonial project in the Wild West, designed to permanently displace the indigenous population there & current illegal immigration in the #UK Not those invited in to fill vacant skilled jobs @VeteransReform

It's my personal red line. If the government tries to surveil my devices in an effort to enforce this ban then I won't stay in the UK And any time I visit I'll treat it like China... Burner phone not linked to any of my regular accounts It's bad enough having the highest tax burden since the 1940s and terrible public services (eg my recent near death experience at the hands of the NHS and the @WelshAmbulance) but enough is enough

Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation whose attacks have caused millions in damage to British military and industrial sites. Their actions undermine rule of law, public order and the very democratic values that underpin British society. Right decision
UK government's ban on Palestine Action is lawful, Court of Appeal says, overturning earlier ruling bbc.in/4uMempi

Lady Justice Whipple was DAMNING about Palestine Action saying they were NOT the civil disobedience non-violent group they claimed to be. That they were NOT akin to the Suffragettes as so many left wing commentators and MPs tried to present them as. Shame on their apologists.

If they try and push through the Assusted Dying Bill we need a GE immediately because pushing through something extremely unsafe & expensive without the public voting for it is wrong. Something this big that changes the relationship between the State & individual needs a public vote. Starmer wont get away with this

Want to buy property in illegally occupied Northern Cyprus? You are free to do so without protest in multiple sites in London. Jews want to buy property in Israel? Uproar! Media coverage & mass protest. ONE event takes place behind heavy security. Of course it is antisemitism.

Everyone knows Dunkirk. 338,000 men rescued from the beaches, the "miracle" that saved Britain. Almost nobody knows what happened 8 days later, 100 miles down the coast. This story was buried for years, and once you hear it you will understand why. While Dunkirk was being evacuated, the 51st Highland Division was deliberately kept in France. Churchill wanted to prove to the French that Britain would not abandon them. So 10,000 Scotsmen kept fighting along the Somme while everyone else went home. They fought well. Too well to retreat in time. By June 10, Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, moving so fast the Germans called it the Ghost Division, had cut them off from every port. The Highlanders fell back to a tiny fishing town called Saint-Valery-en-Caux, with cliffs at their backs and the Royal Navy on the way. A second Dunkirk. That was the plan. Operation Cycle, ships waiting offshore. Then the fog rolled in. The ships could not reach the beaches in the dark and mist. And by morning, Rommel had artillery on the cliffs above the town, firing down on anything that floated. Men climbed down cliff faces on ropes made of rifle slings trying to reach boats. Some fell. The rescue never came. On June 12, 1940, Major General Victor Fortune surrendered the 51st Highland Division to Rommel. There is a famous photo of the two men standing together, Rommel grinning, Fortune staring into the distance like he is somewhere else. 10,000 men marched east into 5 years of captivity. In parts of the Highlands, nearly every family knew someone in the bag. They called it the lost division, and for decades many Scots quietly believed they had been sacrificed. Two details worth knowing. Fortune was offered better treatment as a general. He refused privileges and stayed with his men for the entire war, organizing care for the sick and keeping discipline in the camps. He was knighted from a hospital bed after liberation. And in September 1944, the rebuilt 51st Highland Division was given one specific assignment, at the request of its commander. They liberated Saint-Valery-en-Caux. The pipers played in the same square where their brothers had surrendered four years earlier. Dunkirk got the movie. These men got the long war. Worth remembering them today.

A young girl in Scotland who defended herself against migrants, only to be vilified by the media, has now been vindicated in court. Those same migrants were found guilty of directing sexual remarks at the girls. The British media owe her and her family an apology.

The majority of the Middle East & Africa are never at peace, so this latest war alters nothing. The cause is basic, too many Dictatorships, attempts at Religious domination & a lack of Democracy @YvetteCooperMP @antonioguterres bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdg…

Has @DefenceHQ not heard of Asset Management? We once knew about our Inventory even in the days of pen & paper. With sophisticated software should be far easier. Or is it the figures are so bad bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0ky…

So even after police KNEW Digwa was a liar and a murderer they STILL wanted to put out disinformation that would’ve prejudice the case and LIE to the public. The Nowak family had to intervene. That is beyond disgusting. As I said, put Hampshire police in special measures. The force is not fit for purpose. The fatal far-left ideology has infected it from top down.

I’m sick to death of Lib Dem’s in particular saying trans identifying men are no risk to women. Official MOJ statistics show over 60% of trans identifying men in prison are there for sex offences against women or children. In mens prisons is 18%. Yet we understand why we keep men out of private spaces for women. Safeguarding. That’s over 3x times a higher risk. Stats are stats. Even if you don’t like them. Check out this figure yourself. Next time someone spout this nonsense I will endeavour to give the actual official stats. It’s time we work with truths & not fluffy fantasy.

One child, one body, one girl. 15 grown men. 88 counts of rape. 11 years to bring a conviction. Why has it taken so long? Where are the protests?
