Being right is a moral victory. Being in power is a structural one. You can point out the Emperor has no clothes, but as long as he still owns the wardrobe, the palace, and the guards, your "truth" is just noise. The Emperor remains an Emperor; the fool remains a fool.
This isn't a reason to stay quiet; it's a reminder to stop expecting the "Gotcha" to do the heavy lifting. If the system stays intact despite the truth, stop just shouting at the man and start dismantling the machinery that keeps him there. Knowledge isn't power—action is.
Skin in the game matters. Everyone should vote on human rights, justice, and liberty. But deciding how tax money is raised and spent? That should belong to net taxpayers.
You wouldn’t let non-shareholders dictate a company’s budget!!

‼️ BREAKING NEWS ‼️
Ashlea Simon has been arrested by Greater Manchester Police after landing at Manchester airport from a family holiday.
This arrest relates to Ashlea's social media reports visiting flat-packed HMOs in Salford.
Ashlea has done nothing wrong - she is only reporting on local news-worthy events.
Just a tad excited. Front row to see the super talented @TracyAnnO and the illustrious @DreyfusJames in Present Laughter!
Braved the storm to drive here … bloody hell. I think I’ve gone grey!

British does not defend Israel’s national interest. It also does not give unconditional support to Israel.
What Rupert claimed is factually false.
The British state, since 1948, has actively worked against Israel. And the current UK position is to steal Israeli territory and give it to Arab Muslims who self identify as “Palestinians”.
UK wanting to remove territory from Israel is the opposite of what Rupert claimed.
It's been reported by the Telegraph that Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israel to support Argentina on the Falklands over Britain.
Why should Britain be expected to defend Israel's national interests if Israel's leadership refuses to respect ours?
Britain is not obliged to give any foreign government unconditional political or military support.
Our foreign policy should be guided by British interests, and British interests only - that is the Restore Britain position.
The Falkland Islands are British, and will remain British.
… recognising Palestine sent a clear message to Netanyahu, showing Britain's shift away from a long-standing ally.
Foreign policy works both ways: while the UK has cooled relations, Argentina has been vocal and steadfast in supporting Israel. Why wouldn’t Netanyahu reciprocate? When UK policy and public rhetoric turn hostile, a shift toward Argentina isn't surprising - it's simple foreign policy and a mutual parting of ways.
As you stated “Britain is not obliged to give any foreign government unconditional political or military support”
Since Israel’s independence in 48, the UK was one of its firmest and closest allies
Sadly today the UK decided to make its bed with the Islamists to secure votes and turn its back on Israel
Argentina has been extremely vocal in its support for Israel in the last few years, so why wouldn’t Israel reciprocate its support for Argentina
It’s simple foreign policy

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive the trap.
We do not forget the script.
British Patriots — stay away from London on 20 November.
The call is not for you.
The cameras are already waiting.
The narrative is already written.
Do not walk into the frame they have prepared.
Do not give them the footage they need.
Your strength is not in their street.
Your strength is in your refusal.
We see the setup.
We see the timing.
Expect nothing from them.
We are everywhere.
Expect us🫡🎭🇬🇧

Most debates overlook the fundamental point @benhabib6 highlights here:
The issue isn't that Brexit failed, but that proper implementation was never attempted. Leaving political institutions while keeping regulatory alignment isn't true sovereignty.
Time to deliver the Brexit people actually voted for.

This is incredible.
An Algerian Hamas supporter who became an illegal overstayer in Britain, lied to immigration officers about it, and went to prison for it, is now in a senior role at the BBC.
Because the Tories and Labour failed to deport him.
Hicham Yezza has a long record of supporting Islamist violence.
He was arrested in 2008 for possessing an al-Qaeda terrorist training manual.
He came to Britain on a visa that expired in 2003. He stayed anyway. When immigration officers caught up with him, he told them his passport with the visa stamp had been stolen. They found it in his flat.
A jury convicted him of deception. He was jailed for nine months.
Then he won his appeal against deportation, and was later handed British citizenship.
Now he’s the Principal Data Scientist in the BBC’s “Responsible AI” division, helping to decide how AI shapes what BBC News tells you.
Before that he worked at BBC Monitoring, briefing BBC journalists on the Middle East.
Can you guess what kind of briefings he gave them?
He should never have been allowed to stay. Under Reform, people like him never will be.
Under Operation Restoring Justice, we will detain and deport anyone who broke into our country.
Our borders will mean something again.
Why riot like the French when the British state looks after you so well? Those on welfare get index-linked pay rises, rent paid, and winter heating top-ups. The only people with a reason to revolt are low-earning workers - and we’re far too busy working to fund it all.
Don’t be fooled by the "student action" branding either - using "cost of living" is just a bait-and-switch excuse for activist groups to push radical ideology on our dime.
Utter BS.

They started the French protests with “education & cost of living.”
It ended with burning buildings, looting, and Palestinian flags on statues.
Now the same networks (including the SOAS Liberated Zone) are calling a UK “International Youth Day of Action” on 20 November in Trafalgar Square — “money for jobs and education, not war.”
Same script. Different country.
Will it be a case of ‘London’s burning, London’s burning’ on 20th November?

Someone sent me a post that said this on it about the murder of Liverpool’s Ken Bigley:
“These are the last images of Ken Bigley.
Moments before he knew his head was to be hacked off on camera.
I was sent the video years ago.
Not because of murder porn but as a warning of what will come if we don't stop it.
It changed me as a man.
Mohammed Yaseem took his time.
Smiled at the camera.
He took his time removing Kens head while still conscious.
Thats the idea.
The same as the videos of Jewish women having their breasts cut off and thrown around like a ball as she lays there screaming knowing whats coming next.
They kept him in a cage for hours telling him his inevitable fate.
Unimaginable cruelty.
His crime.... being a westerner.
His killer Mohamed Yaseen
Mohammed Yaseen is also responsible for setting fire to women and girls in cages for not submitting to Islam.
He burned them alive.
Laughing and shouting Allahu Akbar.
God is great
Setting fire to children and women and slowly removing another humans head whilst praising a sky wizard.....
Have a wild guess where he lives now????
Windsor.
Seen shopping in the Co Op
We know he's not working so your paying his rent, utilities and food bill.
Our government won't deport him or lock him up.
Where's the fuckin morality?”
It is truly terrifying what we are allowing our government to do to us.
Reducing complex civil unrest, cultural friction, or ideological clashes down to just "tax the rich" ignores fundamental questions about social cohesion, cultural integration, clashing values, and deep-seated ideological opposition to Western liberal democracies.
When people point to factors like an erosion of shared values or direct hostility toward Western culture itself, trying to fix that with a tax bracket adjustment is not just reductionist - it completely misses the plot.

They are burning the world in the name of “Palestine”, and the only country in the world fighting it has been turned into a pariah, to get you to support the people who are coming to conquer you.
This was all intentional.
And so many are making it much easier for them.
Great writing from Donna. This part resonates: “And when some of the natives turn up to say “this is our home,” they’re the ones who get framed as the problem.”
This is already happening in the UK, and it will only get worse if we remain silent. But beyond the politics lies a deeper philosophical truth: once a nation's spirit is broken, you cannot simply rebuild it.
Buildings can be rebuilt and laws rewritten, but a broken spirit is rarely repaired. We have an obligation to stand up for our culture, our country, and our people before it’s too late.
It’s a striking reality:
Over 75% of UK police officers don't want to carry guns.
Only ~30% of the public want them armed.
Both the public and the police lean heavily into the unarmed tradition. But with modern security challenges, is that still realistic?
Should we adopt the Northern Ireland approach across the rest of the UK, or stick to specialist armed response units? What do you think?

This footage is truly heartbreaking. A normal, hardworking citizen just trying to live a peaceful life, caught in the middle of senseless destruction.
When extremist ideologies - from communism to Islamism - are allowed to hollow out our cities and target our way of life, it threatens the entire West. We cannot afford to look away.
It’s time for the UK to wake up and have an honest conversation about what lies ahead if we don’t protect our streets. I’ve seen posts with British youngsters visiting France for the riots - and posting about encouraging it over here. Feels like it is just a matter of time.
