Labour, Green Party and Lib Dem councillors in Darlington have joined forces to defeat a Conservative and Reform motion that women's public spaces must be for women only. The three parties said this interpretation of the law was "anti trans" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

They belong here! Lady’s smock! So easy to propagate from the leaves & what a delight next to our wildlife pond.

“The reason they hate Zack Polanski is that they can’t Corbynize him because he is a Jewish politician who criticizes Israel.” Mehdi Hasan is right: that is exactly why the islamists have co-opted Polanski’s Greens as their lightening rod (& Trojan Horse). They know he provides an effective camouflage. And they know he is sufficiently craven and opportunistic to indulge them.  That is why today we see ‘Greens’ madly lining up to defend a regime that tortures and kills young girls for showing their hair or dancing, executes gays, worships death over life, and murders tens of thousands of young people simply for disagreeing with them.  Did anyone notice the new Green MP’s Maiden speech to Parliament had nothing to do with the environment? Or that only 5% or so of the motions currently being debated by Green Members have anything to do with the environment? So yes, the radical Islamists have played an absolute blinder.

There’s neuroscientific evidence that looking at beautiful things, esp. plants & pausing to take in the details can alleviate stress & lift mood. Found these in the garden just now-they’re in a pale blue Victorian ink bottle. Pause to give your brain a small rest 🧠🌿

In case you had stopped thinking about #Ukraine

WATCH: Labour's plans to erode our Jury Trial rights demolished by barristers that work in the Crown Court every day. These plans won't help victims - they will make things worse @TheCriminalBar @thebarcouncil

The idea that any football supporter who attends matches regularly and listens to the ‘banter’ from the crowd is ‘hurt’ by the visit of a potential future Prime Minister is so laughable it almost seemed like a comedy sketch Mr Ashton needs to grow a backbone !

Mark Ashton, Chairman of Ipswich Town FC, has just delivered a masterclass in institutional cowardice. Unreservedly apologising for the “hurt, pain and distress” caused by hosting an elected Member of Parliament, Nigel Farage? Not for some scandal, but for the unpardonable sin of allowing democracy to set foot in a football stadium. This is not compassion. It is the snivelling capitulation of a man who mistakes the shrieking of a Twitter minority for moral authority. One watches such a spectacle with horror: another British institution folding before the mob, reviewing its “policy on engaging with politicians” as though free association were now a hate crime. Pathetic, spineless, and beneath contempt. Britain deserves leaders with spines, not this grovelling.

This isn’t good!

SYRIA: A group of young Muslims entered the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Hama and tried to rape Christian girls. Brave Christian men fought them and kicked them out. They later returned with a government-backed mob, looted homes and properties, opened fire, and arrested several Christian men who they plan to execute. This is daily life for Christians living under Islamic rule.

We are called "the elderly." But that quiet label hides something most people rarely stop to consider. We are the last living witnesses of a world that no longer exists. Look at us and you might see gray hair, slower steps, and the patience that time teaches. But listen to our story — really listen — and you'll realize something extraordinary. We are the only generation in human history to have lived a fully analog childhood and a fully digital adulthood. That's not a small thing. That's one of the most breathtaking journeys a human being has ever been asked to make. We were born in the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, into a world still rebuilding from the rubble of World War II. Our toys were marbles and hopscotch and card games at kitchen tables. When the streetlights flickered on, that was it — childhood adventures were over, and it was time to go home. No smartphones. No streaming. No endless scroll. We built our memories in the real world. With scraped knees and laughter echoing down streets and friendships formed face to face. In 1969, we sat in living rooms staring at black-and-white televisions as Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Hundreds of thousands of us stood in muddy fields at Woodstock believing — really believing — that music and community could reshape the future. We fell in love to vinyl records spinning on turntables. We waited days, sometimes weeks, for handwritten letters to arrive. We learned patience because information didn't come instantly. Mistakes were fixed with erasers — not a delete button. Then the world transformed. Machines that once filled entire rooms shrank to devices lighter than a paperback. We went from rotary phones and party lines to seeing the face of someone we love on the other side of the ocean — instantly, on something that fits in a pocket. We watched the birth of the personal computer. The arrival of the internet. The smartphone. Artificial intelligence. And through every single shift — we adapted. Not because it was easy. Because that's what our generation does. We also carry the weight of history in our bodies. We grew up afraid of polio and tuberculosis. We watched science defeat them. We witnessed the discovery of the structure of DNA, the decoding of the human genome, the transformation of medicine itself. We survived pandemics across decades — and kept going. Few generations have been asked to absorb so much change in a single lifetime. And through all of it, certain things never changed. We still know the joy of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. The taste of vegetables picked straight from a garden. The value of a long conversation that unfolds slowly, without a screen interrupting it. We have celebrated births and mourned losses. Carried the stories of friends who are gone. Watched the world become something our younger selves couldn't have imagined — and found ways to belong in it anyway. We are not relics. We are living bridges between two entirely different worlds. Our memory carries something the modern world needs — proof that progress doesn't have to erase wisdom. That speed doesn't have to replace patience, kindness, or reflection. So when someone calls us elderly, we can smile. Because behind that word is something remarkable. We crossed two centuries. Witnessed eight decades of transformation. Walked from handwritten letters to artificial intelligence — and never lost our sense of what actually matters.

Listen to Labour MPs sigh and moan as I bring up the rape gangs in Parliament. Are we supposed to believe they want to get to the truth?

Our salt processing plant in runcorn is going bust due to sky high energy costs so we'll import salt even thou we have a never ending quantity of it. It's totally insane! Net zero is destroying all our industry. Criminally reckless.

I want to give a huge shout out to this incredible young woman @fionagoddarduk who is moving mountains despite the years of trauma and neglect she has endured at the hands of the “rape gangs” in Bradford and around the uk. She’s trying to bring change. She is a true survivor. A fighter. And is Using her voice to educate those who still aren’t aware of this huge national scandal, I’d say the worst I’ve ever known! And unbelievably she is trying to help others by raising awareness and hosting events, the intention being to cover the whole country eventually! The next event is in Oldham on Thursday 16th April. 5.30/8pm Please support her by buying a ticket and go along to learn more. Link below…. Xx

You won’t believe this. I didn’t. But it is true. In Aarhus, Denmark a 37 year old woman met a migrant in a bar and ended up imprisoned in a flat where she was subjected to a gang rape by three men for 6 hours. One of the men (an Eritrean national) was caught and deported. The other two Eritrean nationals were being actively hunted and Denmark put out an international appeal with their names and photos. The men (Awedin Fikak and Henok Tekleab) fled to France and then took small boats to the UK. They gave their real names and were given food, accommodation and support by the UK government. No checks were done against an international database which would have shown their status as suspected rapists wanted in Denmark. They lived off taxpayer money in the UK for 18 months until it was brought to light that they were wanted criminals. They have now been deported to Denmark to face the justice system. The whole system is farcical. Nobody thought that Eritreans, a nation where 65% of women say they are raped, would be suitable for European integration.

Good to see our salt story followed up here👇 The slow motion collapse (actually no longer slow motion) of Britain's chemicals industry is a BIG deal. But NB it's not just salt. Ammonia, sulphuric acid, ethanol, and a host of other foundational chemicals too. All going or gone

Before a Single Witness Is Called, the Rape Gang Evidence May Already Be Gone This week the national grooming gangs inquiry begins. Before it has heard a single witness, the evidence it depends on may already be gone. The Home Office was told in June last year to require police forces and local authorities to preserve relevant records. It did not write to the National Police Chiefs' Council until January. Seven months. Whether councils received any instruction at all remains unknown. The Home Affairs Select Committee is still trying to establish that. This is not an oversight. It is the latest act in a cover-up that stretches back years. The full story is published on Red Wall and the Rabble. Read for free. redwallandtherabble.co.uk/before-a-singl… _________ I am Raja Miah. Seven years ago I began exposing how politicians protected the rape gangs. The truth can no longer be buried. The Pakistani rape gangs are real. Their victims number in the hundreds of thousands. And the cover up is still ongoing. Now the National Inquiry is about to begin. This is our one chance to stop another whitewash. But that will only happen if enough people know the truth and are willing to fight back. Despite the media blackout, Red Wall and the Rabble has grown to nearly 10,000 subscribers. Every new subscriber makes it harder for them to bury this story.

Labour did everything to avoid a rape gangs inquiry. Now vital evidence has probably been lost because of needless delays. Why did the Home Office wait SEVEN months before telling authorities to protect records? Find out more from Robbie: x.com/_RobbieMoore/s…

Imagine forcing or convincing mothers to do this. Iran’s Islamic regime is evil.

I grew up in Iran, a Muslim-ruled country, under a regime that killed its own people. That’s not a political opinion. That’s my lived experience. So when I speak about it, I’m not being Islamophobic. I’m being honest. The people of Iran know the truth. They’re living it every day. It’s time we stop being afraid to say it out loud.
