A history lesson for @Keir_Starmer on the Saxon king Æthelred the Unready and his humiliating reign after failing to stop Vikings in England (eerily almost exactly 1,000 years apart). Æthelred the Unready, 978–1013, was a king who believed that heavily taxing his Anglo-Saxon subjects to pay off marauding and raping Viking raiders would buy peace. It, of course, did the opposite. Far from deterring them, the payments acted as a powerful incentive: “For, through dread of his enemies, he used to drain the country of money, with which he might retard or repel their attacks…” “That tribute harassed all the English nation for many years” (William of Marmsbury, 1125) The Vikings, in their small narrow boats, returned in greater numbers, emboldened by the rich rewards for their raids, raping, and pillaging. “Once you have paid him the Dane-geld, You never get rid of the Dane.” (Rudyard Kipling, 1911) The repeated humiliations and military failures eroded Æthelred’s authority. Many of his own countrymen lost confidence in their king. Armies proved ineffective or reluctant to fight under leadership they viewed as weak and futile. Nobles began rebelling. So in 1013, when Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark launched a full invasion, much of England submitted with little resistance. Æthelred was forced to flee into exile in Normandy, and the Danish king seized the English throne. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, looking back on his reign, summarised Æthelred’s legacy (1016): “He had held his kingdom with great toil and difficulties as long as his life lasted.” Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and this story, of failed Saxon king Æthelred, is strikingly applicable to our country today.

Keir Starmer has now had at least twenty protesters arrested and charged that showed distress and anger over Henry Nowak’s murder. None have been sentenced yet, their sentencings are scheduled for this week at Southampton Crown Court. One for throwing a beer can.

Labour actively undermining jobs for British people. You can’t hate them enough.

BREAKING: The 101-year-old Telata Chef St. Garbriel Church has been burned to the ground by Islamists in Ethiopia. Along with torching the church, they murdered dozens of innocent Christians. Where is the outrage?

Even the lefty socialists in Spain acknowledge the security threat from allowing people to cover their faces. NO religion should be above the safety & security of a nation. Many Muslim countries ban them for that reason. We wouldn’t allow motorcycle helmets to be worn everywhere.

@IsaacHayes3 If you’re going to post this retarded race baiting bullshit, can you at least have the decency to write it yourself and not use ChatGPT?

@WolfMalca Good. Fuck em.

Ich liebe alles daran ❤️ Die #Allianz fordert 300.000 £ von #ProPalästina-Aktivisten, ihnen droht lebenslange Insolvenz! Ein britisches Gericht hat dem deutschen Versicherer Allianz gestattet, eine Zivilklage in Höhe von fast 300.000 £ gegen sechs Pro-Palästina-Aktivisten zu verfolgen; gleichzeitig wurde der Antrag abgelehnt, das Verfahren bis zum Abschluss der gegen sie laufenden Strafprozesse auszusetzen. Gegen die Aktivisten liegen separate Strafanzeigen vor, da sie bei Protesten in den Jahren 2024 und 2025 rote Farbe auf Allianz-Büros gesprüht und dabei einen Sachschaden von 38.000 £ verursacht haben sollen. Während sich der reine Sachschaden auf 38.000 £ beläuft, umfasst die Gesamtforderung der Klage fast 300.000 £. Die Allianz hat weitere 200.000 £ für „Reputationsschäden und geschäftliche Beeinträchtigungen“ geltend gemacht. Die Gruppe erklärte, sie habe das Unternehmen aufgrund dessen versicherungstechnischer Verbindungen zum israelischen Rüstungskonzern Elbit Systems ins Visier genommen. Da es sich um ein Zivilverfahren handelt, haben die Aktivisten keinen Anspruch auf die finanzielle Prozesskostenhilfe oder den Schutz durch ein Geschworenengericht, wie sie im Strafrecht üblich sind; sie sind somit gezwungen, sich ohne formelle Rechtsvertretung zu verteidigen. Etwaige zugesprochene Schadensersatzsummen würden direkt aus den Ersparnissen und künftigen Gehältern der Beklagten beglichen; die Klage droht sie somit in lebenslange finanzielle Not und den Bankrott zu treiben.

7/7 - No riots Lee Rigby - No Riots Westminster Bridge - No Riots Manchester Arena -No Riots London Bridge - No Riots Manchester Arena - No Riots Reading -No Riots David Amess - No Riots We’re a patient nation. But, understandably, enough is enough. 🇬🇧

@TouchlineX 🤔 I wonder why the USA would have a problem with people from Somalia oh yeah massive fraud + there is a ban on people from Somalia which has been in place for some time. Wasn’t put in place just for you. How about going to Mexico or Canada to ref? No? Just want the headlines?

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Somali referee Omar Artan was questioned for 11 hours (!) before being denied entry. “I am just a referee trying to live my biggest dream: going to the World Cup, I am really, really disappointed. I had the correct documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.” — @nytimes

Peter, this is complete misinformation. I've never refused a DBS check. I actually have an enhanced DBS check for work and sports coaching. I have already provided Wigan Council with a copy of my DBS certificate. Check your facts before spreading lies.

It’s not social media that’s “inflaming tensions”. It’s not Elon Musk. It’s not Nigel Farage. It’s not the ‘far-right’. It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration & open borders. This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.

@zellieimani 1. We don't live in an anti black country. 2. I also noticed how neither one of the situations you mentioned here were black on black. Which is where most of us are actually murdered. I guess it's only good for the narrative if other races are involved.

The Daily Mirror is an enemy of the people. A Brit is nearly beheaded by an illegal migrant on the streets of Belfast. UK cities are literally on fire as a result. This "newspaper" decides the biggest story of the day is a Somali ref being refused entry to US. THE MSM MUST DIE.

You walk into a restaurant and see this. What’s your first thought? 🤔

It now feels like something has *permanently* changed in this country. If politicians and leftist MSM keep telling us to 'keep calm' and carry on. If they keep telling us how we should feel. If they keep calling normal Brits 'far-right' or say we're 'whipping up division' for speaking out. If they keep showing us they care more about language than brutal savagery on our streets. If they do not CLOSE THE BORDERS and START DEPORTING MILLIONS NOW!... This country will tear itself apart. It's a pressure cooker.

Hey Jasmine… Black pilot here. I think you missed the plot. Then again, that’s becoming a pattern. I graduated from West Point. I went through Army flight school. I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache. I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad. Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color. Nobody lowered the standards for me. Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.” That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand. Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting. I didn’t want a different standard. I wanted the same standard. And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is. They care whether the pilot is qualified. Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory. And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

@GuntherEagleman Could be out in 17.5 though. I think in any murder case in any country there should be absolutely no parole! You get sentenced and you serve every single day of that sentence.

🚨 JUST IN: Karmelo Anthony will spend 35 years in prison!

@UnitedStandMUFC Absolutely not unless Brighton are finally going to be realistic and sell him for 35m which is his value.

🤔 Tell us... Baleba, yes or no? 🇨🇲🔴 #mufc

Keir Starmer: “you will feel the full force of the law” Shame, those Muslim brothers at Manchester airport didn’t.

The Home Office bussed hundreds of asylum seekers into a former army camp at Crowborough, East Sussex — at 3 o’clock in the morning. Not at noon. Not with a press release. Not with a briefing to local councillors. At 3am. Wealden District Council — the elected local authority responsible for that area — says it was deliberately kept in the dark. Not a courtesy call. Not a heads-up. Nothing. They discovered what their own government had done to their community the same way the residents did: after the fact. The Council’s Deputy Leader James Partridge has now formally stated that the Home Office’s secrecy “carries a high risk of public disorder and injury to people and property.” Read that again. Elected local politicians are warning Parliament that their own national government is creating the conditions for violence — through deliberate concealment from the people who live there. This isn’t bureaucratic incompetence. Incompetence doesn’t require a 3am operation. This is a government that knew the public would object, decided they didn’t have a right to know, and moved at night to get ahead of any resistance. They chose secrecy over safety. And now they’re blaming the public for reacting badly to being lied to.
