TV broadcaster Rylan Clark has hit the nail on the head about illegal migration into Britain. “I believe something major needs to be done about this […] we have no idea who they are [migrants].” The tide is turning. Ordinary people are becoming aware and want to see action.

"The girls are predominantly white. The men who preyed on them, predominantly Muslim; from Pakistan, or of Pakistani heritage. "Will the Minister accept these crimes are racially and religiously aggravated?" Courageous from @Katie_Lam_MP Parliament today.

This is utter madness, data I have just pulled out from the DWP. £726,000,000 was spent on refugee households claiming Universal Credit in 2023. For 2024? It's soared to £1,103,000,000. That's 1.8% of the total amount of Universal Credit, 'paid to households where at least one claimant’s HRT concluded they held refugee status'. The British people are being scammed. Not a penny should be spent on benefits for anyone arriving in our country illegally. I'm very much of the view that anyone breaking into our country should be deported.

Sharron is spot on. The public has always been told that National Insurance is directly linked to one’s state pension. Whether state income in retirement is a pension or a benefit is irrelevant - it was a contract *and* it remains an enduring obligation.
I’ve paid NI for my state pension, along with my salery related income tax, every single year, in full, of my working life, since I was 18 I’m 62 (44yrs & counting) & I’m still paying - now Labour are suggesting that moneys not mine but possibly someone else’s who’s never worked a single day!🤬

Replying to @Keir_Starmer
Starmer you are the bureaucracy. You are the hurdles. You are the problem. For decades, Labour and the Tories have strangled this country with red tape, mass immigration, and reckless spending, now you want credit for “fixing” the disaster you helped create? Housing crisis? You flood the country with migrants while Brits can’t get on the ladder. Small businesses crushed? You tax them into the ground while propping up global corporations. NHS failing? You let it become an international free for all at the taxpayer’s expense. You don’t get to play savior when you helped burn the house down. Britain doesn’t need more empty promises, it needs leaders with the guts to put Britain first. And that sure as hell isn’t you.

Young white men must be looking at the country and thinking - what have we done wrong? What did we do to deserve this? The answer lads, is NOTHING. You're told that you're racist for feeling patriotic, far right for going to the gym, bigoted for having a joke, chauvinistic for enjoying a beer and the football. Blocked from certain jobs/courses in favour of 'diverse' candidates, even though you may well be best qualified. Anti-white racism is absolutely thriving in 2025. Poisonous quotas and DEI, suffocating bright young men of the opportunities they deserve. I dread to think what is being taught in schools across the country. Everything is stacked against you, and nobody will even discuss it. The establishment now openly wants to give white men tougher sentences. Just because we're white? male? What message are we sending here, honestly? It's genuinely disgusting. There is NOTHING wrong with being white. There is NOTHING wrong with being male. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. My advice? Work hard, learn a proper skill, enjoy yourselves, play by the rules and keep plugging away. This woke crap WILL end soon. In the meantime? If you stay positive, stay determined, stay on the right path - you've done absolutely nothing wrong. Keep going. It will get better.

ADMIN POST 🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE ON TOMMY'S SITUATION🚨 Please share this everywhere!!! UK STATE TORTURE : Tommy Robinson has suffered 128+ days so far in solitary confinement at HMP Woodhill — 22 hours a day locked in a cell, facing an 18 month sentence for a non-crime of showing the public a documentary he was banned from showing. His legal team appointed an independent Clinical Psychologist, with a Doctorate and 15+ years in NHS forensic mental health to assess him and they deliver a damning report: ‘This is mental torture.’ Assessing him with ADHD and Complex Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), she warns, ‘Solitary confinement is directly related to the reactivation of past CPTSD due to the similar environment.’ She adds, ‘He has difficulties coping… exacerbated by ADHD he is deteriorating. ‘I’ve lost my head,’ he says. ’Dark dreams and cold sweats jolt me awake at 3am. I can’t sleep, I’m paranoid, helpless and continually panic about my kids.’ His legal team has launched an emergency court challenge due to deterioration in mental health, highlighting multiple human rights violations. Threshold: Internationally, 15 days is a cutoff for when solitary confinement becomes cruel or inhuman treatment (United nations Mandela Rules, UN Rapporteur). Beyond that, it’s a sliding scale towards torture. Tommy’s Case: At nearly 130 days, with documented mental deterioration (CPTSD relapse, paranoia, sleep disruption), it’s well past this threshold. The psychologist’s “mental torture” assessment, tied to his specific vulnerabilities, suggests it’s already torture in effect, especially given the states planned 18 month sentence. The report details a cluster of severe symptoms—post traumatic stress, ADHD, hypervigilance, paranoia, traumatic sleep disruption, guilt, social withdrawal, and a subjective sense of mental collapse—all explicitly linked to the “mental torture” of solitary confinement. These are not mild or transient; they’re debilitating, worsening, and rooted in his specific vulnerabilities, as the psychologist’s quotes make clear. These expert observations confirm severe symptoms escalating over time, with a prognosis of lasting harm. This isn’t punishment—it’s a calculated breaking of a man who dared speak. Proven by independent expert testimony! Sound the alarm—please share this! @jordanbpeterson @elonmusk @Bannons_WarRoom @maureen_bannon @JackPosobiec @charliekirk11 @Riley_Gaines_ @BillboardChris @toadmeister @GenFlynn @RealAlexJones @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @DonaldJTrumpJr @Joey7Barton @liamtuffs1 #FreeTommy #EndSolitary #Stazistarmer #StopTheIsolation

AFTER CONSCRIPTION BY STARMER It's minus 5° . You're in a trench, the torneque on your leg wound stops you from bleeding out, your body temperature is dangerously low, the stench of excrement from the other end of the trench fills your nostrils as you lay next to a dead Ukrainian. The cold has kept the flies away but the stench of death is in the air. rations are low, but hunger has become a regular companion. You've been away from home for some time now. Your wife is struggling to manage the kids and the extra job, and the power cuts. Bills pile up, she feels the pressure, neglect sets in. The pretty girl who waved goodbye has lines abd wrinkles no woman her age should have. Everything is in short supply for the war effort. Meanwhile 300 men arrive by dinghy and are ushered to the latest hotel to be filled. Warm food a change of clothes, clean sheets, and a comfortable bed awaits. They're already texting home on their new free iPhones and eager to cruise the streets for something to fill their days. Their pocket money goes cigarettes and luxuries They can't wait for their friends and family to join them . No Ukrainian flags are on FB now .....

Foreign nationals who sexually assault British women and girls should be immediately deported - zero tolerance, no questions asked. Gone. Not on the sex offender registry, not in prison, not free to roam the streets. Deported. Gone from our country, and never allowed back.

A farmer spots " how @Keir_Starmer 's new best buddies at BlackRock are going to screw you over in 7 steps. "1. They will start buying up small plots of agricultural land at double the normal price. They will issue a directive to all of their energy companies simultaneously to aggressively acquire plots for carbon capture. These third parties will start bidding against each other and force the value of agricultural land up. "2. Initially farmers won't believe their luck - "these city folks are mad! if they want to buy an acre for £50K, who am I to say no to these fools" is what you'll hear down the pub. "3. These crazy prices will set record high comparisons for agricultural land. When a farmer dies, their farm will be valued using these new metrics and the next generation will discover the farm they thought was worth £3M is worth £9M and they don't have anything close to the money needed to cover the tax. "4. In swoops a BlackRock subsidiary with a "Agri Debt Finance Tax Relief" product to lend them 20% the "value" of their farm so they can pay the taxes. "5. The debt will come with conditions (a covenant) that the farm has to adopt and maintain certain practices. It has to use certain BlackRock owned fertilisers, software, machinery and labour solutions that get the farm ready to interface with a larger conglomerate. "6. When a farm cannot make its debt payments, it is sold at auction. BlackRock subsidiaries are instructed NOT to buy these farms at auction. They have a special arrangement to buy the unsold farms at a rate that covers the unpaid debt plus outstanding fees and taxes to government... basically what the farm was originally worth. "7. A BlackRock subsidiary then takes over the farm, consolidates it with a massive group of farms and uses illegal immigrant labour to staff the farm (which will be another government program they institute to deal with the immigration crisis). The government will literally pay for the labour costs as part of this plan making the farms wildly profitable and making small family farms unable to compete." thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.…
