My sister went to Waitrose on Sunday in Mill Hill East and there was a veteran called Fred selling poppies. She went to buy one for him and as it was chilly outside asked to buy him a coffee to warm him up. In conversation she heard from him how he has been spat at, called a racist and a warmonger … all for selling poppies to remember our most brave and fallen heroes. It broke my heart. What has become of this country? Where is the gratitude to those that lay down their lives so we could be free? Where has pride in our country gone? I’ve been there every day since in the hope of seeing him, but as yet, Fred hasn’t returned.
It’s London Poppy Day! From 10 veterans raising £500 in 2006 to over £1.4M last year. Let’s show what London is made of and smash that number today 🇬🇧

One of the strangest things on Question Time was watching a Liberal Democrat blame "Airbnb" for Britain's housing crisis. Not the fact that for every 1 new home built in the last 10 years our useless politicians also allowed roughly 4 new people to arrive in Britain.

Ukrajinci znovu dobývají území, které jim Rusko ukradlo. Putin musí pochopit, že za svou agresi nezíská ani centimetr ukrajinské země. Souhlasíte?

And don’t forget all the unelected civil servant quangos run by left leaning activists who are in situ regardless of which government is in power. Making ministers unaccountable. But also impossible to make radical changes. Just like deferring to the EU. Its the organised, long term, well planned, erosion of uk democracy
“Understand why the system’s broken. It’s broken because Tony Blair took away accountability from the Bank of England. He made it independent. George Osborne gave the governor an eight-year term. They have huge power. They’re completely unaccountable.” Liz Truss Labour, the Conservative Party and much of the mainstream media are united in one thing. They don’t want you asking who really holds power in Britain. We live under the illusion of democracy, with unelected institutions wielding ultimate authority. Read about it in BANK JOB by Liz Truss. @trussliz @Iromg @RickArmstrong11

Two Bangladeshi men wanted after the r@pe of a 15 year old girl. AGAIN! We keep seeing this same MO, two or more grown men luring kids into parks and then r@ping them in a ‘horrific and traumatic attack’ What ethnicity was the victim? I bet I could guess.....

🧵Russia's air defense ran out of missiles, told its pilots to hide, and blamed enemy cruise missiles for being slow. Meanwhile, Ukraine's private delivery company built its own air defense network and is shooting down jet Shaheds. The mailman adapts. The Kremlin panics. 1/🧵

WHERE HAVE ALL THE POPPY SELLERS GONE? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😡 I've been out all week and I've barely seen one. No tray at the supermarket. No tin at the station. Nobody standing in the cold with a box and a smile. But my usual fella was there. Full regalia, medals on, exactly where he always is. I told him I was glad to see him. He probably thinks nobody notices. We do, mate. We notice. The Royal British Legion is crying out for volunteers. Suffolk could lose £18,000. Some towns can't even find an organiser. Why? Because for years the poppy has been sneered at as political, and people have quietly stopped. Now there's nobody left to hold the tin and especially this year after the leftie smear campaign against the poppy. Those old men stood in the rain for forty years so we wouldn't forget their mates. The least we owe them is an hour in the cold. Wear a poppy. Put more in the tin. Volunteer if you can.

A touching moment as patriots in GOSPORT paid respects to our heroes to finish their protest outside Wetherspoons. Congratulations to all in attendance. Lest we forget 🫡🇬🇧 🎥 CMillz / YT
Patriots are protesting outside Wetherspoons in GOSPORT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 This follows the pub’s refusal to allow a patron wearing a poppy inside the premises. There are calls for the manager to resign. 🎥 CMillz / YT

Russia has finished using the civilians in Oleshky as human shields. They will now be relocated further into the occupied territories with this Administration’s blessing. Children will be vanished into Russia as gifts for oligarchs. Women who survive the rapes in the filtration camps will be sent to Siberia to work in military industries. Men will be shot if they have the slightest connection to the Ukrainian military, or if purely civilians, put into Russian prison camps to be tortured around the clock until they are eventually traded for well-fed, well-cared-for Russian POWs captured while committing war crimes in Ukraine. Are you proud of your “humanitarian” work, @MELANIATRUMP @FLOTUS ? Will you sleep well in a soft bed knowing you looked serious and useful while the cameras were rolling? If you do not personally learn the name and follow the path of every civilian removed from Oleshky by the Russian war criminals with whom your husband conspires — you will be just as guilty as he is.
So, the Melania Trump brokered ceasefire is just a means for Russia to kidnap 1500 people, not allowed to go to Ukraine, only Russia.

Tommy Robinson will now go to prison. Step by step @ShabanaMahmood is having anyone high profile who can order street movements against illegal immigration jailed. We are living under a left wing regime. Antifa is in government

Imagine if politicians were completely honest standing before voters and saying: “We intend to bring millions of people from the developing world into your country. And here is what we expect that to mean for you. Some of your women will be raped. Some of your fellow citizens will be murdered. Some will be robbed. Some will watch their neighbourhoods change beyond recognition, while others will be priced out of the suburbs they spent a lifetime working to afford. Oh, and quite a few churches will be burned. And all of that is before the riots. Some shops will be smashed during the ensuing riots. Some statues will be toppled by people who apparently came here to escape backward societies but have brought a few of their less attractive habits with them. Your taxes will rise to pay for additional housing, schools, hospitals, policing and welfare. Housing will become scarcer and infrastructure will struggle to keep pace. Jews will be targeted. And social cohesion generally will be tested like never before. And when you complain about any of this, we will explain that your concerns are xenophobic, your expectations unreasonable and your nostalgia for a recognisable country vaguely fascist.” Would you vote for that? The left voted for this. jamesmacpherson.substack.com… Great summary by @jamesmacpherson

🚨The #UK just secretly flew 24,000 Afghans into the country and made it illegal for the press to even cover the story. Now, it turns out all of them get free housing and welfare for "the rest of their lives" without ever having to work. Doomed country.

Angela Rayner is to appoint an “Islamophobia” adviser. They'll enforce her “Islamophobia” definition, which Labour allowed extremists to influence. Ministers claimed the evidence was deleted, but I proved this was a lie. It's still kept secret. Rayner must end the cover up.

We have reached the point where there is absolutely no point in working or trying to save. This Government are taking everything and giving it to people who have never contributed a penny. I am in despair at the thought of what my hard working kids are going to face

This guy walked free for assaulting police officers in an airport and @TRobinsonNewEra could be facing 10 years for making a phone call to journalists that were doxxing him and his family on holiday. Make it make sense.
