The Deputy Leader of the Green Party, one of the loudest “refugees welcome” cheerleaders, is now furious that 600 men who arrived on boats are being housed in her constituency. Suddenly she’s making the same arguments she’s spent years calling “far-right”, “racist” and…

It has been astonishing to experience first hand how badly the Home Office mismanages asylum seeker accommodation. Wealden District Council has written to the Minister to make clear our dissatisfaction. (1/2)

Ariel Bibas and his dog, Tonto. Tonto was shot to death by Hamas on October 7th, and Ariel was kidnapped to Gaza along with his baby brother and his mother, where they were all strangled to death by Gazan terrorists. I'll never let the world forget.

The last time Labour adopted an Islamophobia definition, Labour-led councils didn’t speak up about grooming gangs because of fears of being called racist. Now, they are about to adopt a new definition and impose it on our public bodies without anyone seeing what is in it. No…

Diversity isn’t just who’s in the room, it’s who’s allowed to disagree. Real equality protects difference of thought as much as identity.

Chilling.

I went to watch my boyhood club Aston Villa last night. Over 700 police officers deployed. The mob outside the ground were calling for the death of Jews - and the Government let it happen.

Rabbi @AmmiHirsch sat down with Zohran Mamdani. He came with an open mind. He left with a pit in his stomach. Zohran made it crystal clear: He doesn’t believe Israel has any right to exist. Not within the ‘67 lines. Not within the ‘48 borders. Not at all. That’s not “policy…

It seems that in Bristol the “gender” trans lobby is so bereft of actual arguments that they sink to simply walking out of the Council meeting when faced with real arguments put by real women. How pathetic. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Say her name : Roya Heshmatiam She is a woman lashed 74 times in Iran for crime of removing her hijab in public. No one is marching for her. She does not fit the agenda. Do you feel the same ?

Anyone denying anti-semitism is rife in the UK can just check my timeline. I’m not Jewish. I’ve rarely said or done anything either way about Gaza and almost nothing until a Jew was murdered in the street. Then I realised how bad it had got. I was late to realise. But it’s all…

Still find it somewhat spectacular that in the last 15 years the UK has decommissioned 9 of its 17 frigates and commissioned precisely 0 new frigates. It also remains entirely possible, if not likely, that a 10th is decommissioned before the next new frigate.

Frigates. 17 in service in 2009 - 4 x Type 22s and 13 x Type 23s. The Type 22s were to decommission 2019-22, with the Type 23s following from 2023. Replacement plans in the air under the C1/C2/C3 concept. 8/18

The ‘billionaires’ narrative in Britain is just so comically unserious. But somehow most moronic commentary goes after Wannabe Mamdani for his teeth rather than his profound lack of substance. RT🔒👇

There are just 55 billionaires resident in all of the UK. 55. By comparison there are 123 billionaires in New York City alone. These are literally the most mobile people on the face of the planet. Any tax system that is predicated upon squeezing the hyper mobile will fail.

‘When a small group of Jews are penned and have to be defended by hundreds of police from the threat of a baying Muslim protest targeting them with hate, something has gone very badly wrong in the UK and everything must be done to resist it.’

I wrote about the events in Birmingham last night when a small group of Jews were placed in a pen. They were caged. I will not adjust that choice of language. It is accurate. Article below.
