Meeting a lot of masculine Christian lads in Glasgow right now. Strong, grounded, training hard, staying fit, there are more of us here than people realise from all over the UK and let me tell you something straight. We’re not just lifting weights and praying quietly. We’re battle ready, the modern church might preach a soft version of our God, turn the other cheek, love everyone, never fight back. That’s fine for peacetime but we remember the other side, we remember the Crusades, we remember when Christian men stood in the gap, sword in hand because the alternative was annihilation. It runs in the blood and the system wants you to forget it, the incentive is obvious, when the time comes, when the sleeper cells wake up, when the pressure finally snaps, you will feel the wrath of God’s soldiers.

Restore Britain's policy is clear. If you live in England, you speak English. If a foreign national living in England can't speak English, they will be sent home. Not complicated.

@andie1105 @ianjk23 @CadburyUK Marketing and branding as it has always been - here are some examples from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Did you not notice?

@SamanthaTaghoy Easter. Is that the very British festival where right wingers get triggered by something that didn't actually happen? I bet it was just the same in 1926 when this little beauty first hit the market - no mention of Easter either btw

Dear Cadbury, “From Cadbury this season.” What season? Go on, say it. It’s EASTER. You are selling EASTER eggs for the EASTER SEASON. How dare you profit off a Christian holiday while erasing its Christian origins. They are Easter eggs. It is Easter. Shame on you.

@phughes76340646 Whereas back in the day, the word Easter was plastered all over the Easter Egg packages and advertising. Oh wait... You do know that putting purple crosses in your post doesn't give it the religious gravitas that you think it does.

I will never buy EASTER ✝️eggs for my family unless it says the word EASTER ✝️on the box If you care about what’s happening in our country you will do the same ❤️✝️🇬🇧
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

@LeonaraLondon @AllBiteNoBark88 Easter eggs are, and always have been, about commerce, and not about Christianity. The word "Easter" rarely appeared on the eggs because 1. Most people can identify that the oval object in a packaged box is an Easter egg 2. Manufacturers use every inch of the space for branding

Some gross people commented on this. And that’s the problem. People’s standards have fallen so badly that they can’t even be bothered to admit that this is part of a decline in our country. The erasure of our traditions, morals and religious beliefs. I saw Easter eggs being sold by Sainsbury’s in January. The whole thing is a farce.

@Rinni_369 @AllBiteNoBark88 Chocolate eggs per se have nowt to do with "faith". More to the point, where's the word Easter on this egg from the 1980s?

@AllBiteNoBark88 It's offensive that Cadbury is ditching 'Easter' for vague 'this season' nonsense. Easter is about family, faith & traditions—not some woke rebrand. #BoycottCadbury

@SpamInTheCan Fight back against what? The word "Easter" has rarely appeared on Easter eggs, going way back. Here's one from the 1990s...

@LincolnHammer2 @BenGrahamUK Because, as everyone knows, the consumption of a chocolate egg is specifically mentioned in The Bible and is central to Christian teaching.

@BenGrahamUK Controversial would be to stop an EPL match during play on Easter Sunday so the Christian players can eat an Easter egg

Never buying Cadbury's @CadburyUK chocolate again. Opened a box of milk tray and my first experience of the new manufacturing with palm oil. Loved it all my life, but not now. Horrible taste and texture. oleaginous. 🤢

@Donna_Rachel_ As time passes, I predict the crying will start along the lines of.... "Why aren't Restore appearing in the opinion poll stats - we've got 150000 members, but they're not showing us - its an establishment fix - blah blah blah"

59% of Restore’s ‘membership’ are located abroad. So the party doesn’t have 100,000 members, it has 40,000 at most. Take out all the people who joined the movement and are already members of a different party, and it drops even further. So the ‘party’ is really about 20,000 strong - but Rupert’s private company has just raked in £2 million so who cares, right?

@alexklaushofer I'm pretty sure that there are airports in every direction. At the height those aircraft are flying, they could be headed anywhere.

@AugusteCom30151 @DaveKent101 @UKStandards_ I might be wrong but I don't think that was the point being made here. Yes, some Brits living abroad can vote, but any non-Brits that join a British political party certainly cannot.

@english_stee You can't just assume that all of those 20 million will necessarily vote for Restore at the next election. Some will just never vote for as long as they have a hole in their ass. Some are disaffected lefties that may now lean towards the Greens.

Nearly 20 million registered voters didn't vote in the last election. Even though reform were supposed to be so popular. I think we have primarily tapped into this portion of the voter base with restore. Almost 20 million voters disenfranchised with tories and labour and not fooled by the new establishment shill reform finally get something to vote for. Its only been nearly 5 weeks, We are going to win
