Before Windows95, before Oasis released Wonder Wall and before OJ Simpson faced trial, our new PM Andy Burnham had a job. He had a job as a journalist working for a little publishing company for 3 years. This is the only job any of the new UK Government Cabinet has had. Other than those three years, more than 30 years ago the entire cabinet has only ever worked in tax payer funded roles. None of them have ever had to make a sale. None of them have been paid to pour a pint. None have felt a sick feeling about making payroll. None have been answerable to investors. In the UK 50% of the jobs are small businesses and almost ALL of the jobs growth is small businesses. None of them has ever started, owned or run one. Wouldn’t it be nice if just one of them had some experience in making a small business profitably grow before having a crack at the 7th largest economy. Imagine what it must feel like to KNOW that your wage is paid for by the tax-payer. Imagine the certainty and security working for a government that never fires anyone for anything. Imagine how it would feel knowing you could blow out a budget with no real consequences or you could completely screw up a project and nothing bad would happen. Imagine that level of insulation and comfort for decades. I can’t. I’ve been in business for the last 25 years. If I don’t sell I don’t eat. If I screw up I face very real consequences very fast. Millions of small businesses are being asked to get out there and hire people and grow the economy by a team of people who’ve never had a proper job. Surely something isn’t right with that?

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West. The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

Complete insanity in the United Kingdom. The calls for @Keir_Starmer to be immediately removed for allowing this once great nation to go into the toilet are not only righteous but necessary. Henry Nowak may he R. I. P.
The same police force who handcuffed Henry Nowak and called him a liar as he died, did this to the people protesting it. Nobody can say there's no two tier policing and judiciary in the UK. The whole world sees it.

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing. That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens. Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior. A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

I have just seen the unedited footage of the October 7th attacks. Please read: What I saw was young men chopping off heads, shooting everything in sight, slaughtering little crying kids calling for their mummy, throwing grenades inside houses and cars and shelters, maiming bodies, playing with them, setting humans on fire, looking like it's the happiest day of their life. They call their relatives to celebrate how many they have killed. The parents back in Gaza are thrilled. They cheer and ask for more. "Bring back some heads for the people to play with" - asks a commander. The savages wilfully oblige, using flick knives to remove the skulls from slaughtered bodies like butchers carving up a carcass. "Bring some home for the people so we can crucify them in the square" the Hamas leaders order. The mangled, blood soaked bodies of hostages were paraded through the streets. The Gazan crowds cheered and filmed, celebrating or coming to spit on the terrified youngsters in the back of pick ups. The young Hamas brutes with their ecstatic grins, taking selfies, shouting Allahu Akbar, looked like so many of the young men in dinghies. Trendy clothes, modern phones. Energy and conviction. The first wave of attackers on October 7th were Hamas soldiers. The second, amateur conscripts. The third, Gazan civilians delighted to join in. What even are these monsters. I am forever changed, seeing what I have seen. And it isn't fake. It's footage Hamas shot themselves. Israel must live with that right next door. I fear we now have it, in hotels and houses around the country

An undercover BBC investigation has found a ‘shadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UK’. WE KNOW. We’ve all been saying it for years, but the BBC is finally catching on... A Restore Britain Government would solve this in two ways. Deportations. Anyone who arrived illegally gets deported - included those already granted asylum. If you came here on a boat, you will be sent home. If a foreign national lawyer or worker has been involved in the fraud, they too will be deported. They can claim they’re gay if they like - they can explain all about it to the deportation officer on their flight home. Prosecutions. Any British national found defrauding the asylum system will go to prison - that includes those within the Home Office. Simple as that. We will pursue the judiciary - if they have been found to knowingly allow foreign sex pests and criminals to roam our streets? They will be held accountable. We will not be afraid to put judges in prison. Because the British people have all had enough of this. Restore Britain will finally end the vile piss-take, and thousands of people will go to prison for their role in it.

Why Socialism Doesn't Work, Explained for a 10-Year-Old. You're in a class of 30 students. One kid works like crazy and gets an 18 average. Another does nothing and gets a 4. The teacher decides it's unfair and gives everyone the class average: 11. The one who had 18 stops working. Why bother if it changes nothing? The one who had 4 keeps doing nothing. Why work if you're handed 11 for free? The next year the class average is 7. Then 5. Then 3. The teacher doesn't get it. He thinks the problem is that the students aren't supportive enough of each other. So he starts punishing those who don't put in enough effort. He monitors everyone. He decides who studies what. He bans switching classes. That's exactly what happened. Every time. In every country. No exceptions. USSR, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, East Germany. 40 attempts. Same result. Every time. Socialism punishes those who produce and rewards those who don't. Everyone ends up producing nothing. And when no one's producing anymore, the government uses force to make people work. It's not an accident. It's the design. - @brivael

If you're driving a lorry over from France and an illegal immigrant has sneaked into your truck you get a fine of £10,000 per immigrant. The @RNLI brings in hundreds every week, no fines whatsoever.

12 years old and Raped by 8 Pakistanis in one night, If you don’t repost this no one will see it A brief examination of the case of 12 year old Samantha shows how the criminal justice system treats these kinds of cases, even when the CPS has actually decided to proceed with a prosecution. On October 27th 2006, Samantha was abducted by two Asian men who drove her around Oldham for hours and then raped her. They then threw her our of a moving car in the Chadderton area of Oldham. She ran away and asked another man for help. He invited Samantha inside and then dragged her upstairs and sexually assaulted her. She ran away whilst he was calling his friends to come and join him. At that point a taxi driver and his passenger pulled up beside her to ask her if she was okay, they said she looked very upset and like she'd been through hell, and so offered to take her to the police station and then home... They then took Samantha to a house on Attock Close, took her inside and then locked her in a room where 5 Asian men went on to rape her over and over for nearly 24 hours The ringleader, was Shakil Choudhury, and he received a three year sentence for leading this extraordinary attack.

All Met Police recruits must pass an interview with an Islamic Community Assessor (CA). This enabled the Islamic capture of the Met. Which is why they don riot gear and beat Iranian dissidents but do nothing against HAMAS sympathisers. @metpoliceuk

Just a heads up that an American startup called GRU Space is planning the first hotel on the moon by 2032, backed by Nvidia. Meanwhile the UK government says it will take until 2035 to build a 3rd runway at Heathrow.

Here are just 5 things that happened in the UK this week: -we discovered police in our second city, Birmingham, are doing the bidding of Islamist extremists while scapegoating Jews who were targeted for Muslim violence -we learn child rapists & criminals have been allowed to become police officers partly because of woke DEI “diversity” recruitment drives -the United Arab Emirates is so concerned about the risk of Islamist radicalisation in the UK they have just restricted support for UAE students to study at UK universities -supposedly neutral civil servants told journalists they will either quit their job or work to block policies if the British people dare to elect a Reform government that actually wants to tackle much of this by slashing immigration, ending DEI & banning Muslim Brotherhood -and the Labour government is so scared of the British people and open debate it is moving to both postpone local elections in areas where Reform is forecast to surge and ban Elon Musk’s X platform All these things happened. In just a few days. We are quite obviously destroying our country.

I urge @elonmusk, @JDVance and the wider American administration to deploy whatever appropriate power they hold to prevent Keir Starmer from banning X in Britain. Free speech must be protected, and such disgusting authoritarianism must be resisted. We need help.

BREAKING: The United Arab Emirates is restricting their nationals from enrolling at British universities over fears that UK campuses are being radicalized by radical Islamist groups. THIS IS BEYOND HILARIOUS! The UAE has a lower tolerance for radical Islam than the freaking UK.
