Brighton voted to remain in the EU. Westminster no longer represents our views. We should leave the UK (no, that's not serious)

How can anything be "drifting between planets" if there is no space and no planets?????? Planets are not mentioned in the Bible. Only, Earth, Sun, Moon and Stars.

The scale of this engineering is terrifying. 🤯 People don't realize this thing is alive. It looks abandoned. It looks frozen. It looks forgotten. It is none of those things. The Kalyazin RT-64 is a 64-meter Soviet radio telescope, hidden in a Russian forest, still listening to deep space. To pulsars. To dying stars. To spacecraft drifting between planets.

Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com

Mrs. Jenkins, 1970, walks down the high street with a wicker basket. - Beef topside from Mr. Pearson, for Sunday - Streaky bacon, sliced thick on the slicer - Lamb's liver for Tuesday tea - Pork sausages, made on the premises that morning - A whole chicken, giblets in a paper bag inside - Suet for the steak and kidney pudding - Butter wrapped in greaseproof paper - A wedge of Lancashire from the wheel - Two dozen eggs from the farm down the road - Double cream for the trifle - A pound of dripping in a stoneware pot, for the chips - Four kippers for Saturday breakfast - A loaf baked that morning, four ingredients Total: about £6. She fed a husband and three children for the week, with leftovers for Monday. Nobody was overweight. Nobody had high cholesterol. Nobody was on any pills. Her granddaughter, 2026, opens the Tesco app on the sofa. - Six chicken breasts, water-injected - "Low-fat" turkey mince - Yoghurts with 14 ingredients per pot - Flora "buttery" spread, palm oil and rapeseed - A bottle of skimmed milk - Pre-grated "mature" cheddar with anti-caking agent - Two ready meals branded "Healthy Living" - "No added sugar" cordial, three artificial sweeteners - "Soft white medium" loaf, eleven ingredients - "Fruit and nut" bars, glucose syrup and rapeseed oil - Squeezable mayonnaise - Pre-washed salad treated with chlorine - Olive oil, for the "Mediterranean" diet she read about Total: about £127. She feeds herself and her husband for three days and orders again on Wednesday. She is, in her early forties, on statins. Her husband is on metformin. The grandmother traded a butcher for a megafarm. A cheese counter for an anti-caking agent. A dairyman for a logistics chain. Dripping for rapeseed oil. A four-ingredient loaf for an eleven-ingredient one. A wicker basket for an app. She paid twenty times the price for worse food, less of it, and threw her health in as part of the deal. The supermarket called this progress. Mrs. Jenkins would have called it being had.

Wilkie (Richard Wilkinson)@WilkieisBack66·
John Simpson, your tweet on the Banksy statue is a masterclass in smug, out-of-touch BBC elitism that perfectly captures why so many Britons are fed up with people like you. Congratulations to you, sir, for once again revealing the chasm between your cloistered worldview and the country you claim to “make sense of.” You hail Banksy’s latest stunt, a suited figure blindly marching off a plinth with a flag over his face, planted amid monuments to Britain’s imperial and military past as “brilliant” “calmness and humour” in the face of “growing extremism.” Spare us the performative wit. What you dismiss as “extremism” is, in reality, patriotism, the raw, unapologetic love of Britain’s history, culture, and people that built the very landmarks your precious Banksy is mocking. It’s ordinary citizens who look at waves of mass immigration, no-go zones, grooming scandals, knife crime spikes, and the erasure of their heritage, and dare to say: enough. Not hatred. Not violence. Just the basic human instinct to preserve what their ancestors fought and died for. You, from your comfortable perch, sneer at that as dangerous radicalism. And “diversity”? The sacred cow you and your cohort worship? It’s precisely the fire stoking division, hatred, and the active dismantling of what was once coherent British culture. Parallel societies, demands for Sharia, suppressed speech, and the relentless rewriting of history aren’t “enrichment”, they’re fragmentation by design. Banksy’s statue isn’t clever satire; it’s the same tired, self-loathing trope, Britain bad, tradition embarrassing, national pride a joke. You lap it up because it flatters your class’s prejudices while the rest of the country lives with the consequences. This isn’t “humour,” John. It’s cultural vandalism dressed in irony, cheered by the same establishment that has spent decades hollowing out British identity. Westminster Council accepting this is no victory for free expression, it’s another surrender of public space to those who despise the nation it represents. Your desperate hope that it “stays” says everything, you’d rather a Banksy provocation endure than let working-class patriots keep their statues, their streets, their country. The growing “extremism” isn’t on the streets of Britain demanding borders and belonging. It’s in the minds of lifelong insiders like you, blind to the fire you’ve helped fan, arrogant enough to lecture the natives on their own extinction. History will remember this era not for Banksy’s stunts, but for the quiet fury of a people finally rejecting the John Simpsons of the world.
John Simpson@JohnSimpsonNews

Congratulations to Westminster Council for their acceptance of Banksy’s brilliant statue near Pall Mall. Let’s hope it stays — a welcome note of calmness and humour at a time of growing extremism.

A man called once walked down an empty street in Berlin pulling a small red cart filled with 99 smartphones. Within minutes, the road turned bright red on Google Maps. Drivers started avoiding the street because the app warned them about a massive traffic jam. The strange part? There were no cars at all. This experiment was carried out by Simon Weckert, a German artist who wanted to demonstrate how modern navigation systems actually detect traffic. Each of the phones in the cart had Google Maps running. As Simon slowly walked down the road, all those devices were sending location updates at the same time. From Google’s perspective, it suddenly looked like nearly a hundred “vehicles” were moving extremely slowly along that street. The algorithm saw dozens of devices traveling at walking speed where traffic would normally move much faster. So it did exactly what it was designed to do. It assumed there was a traffic jam. The road turned red, and Google Maps began rerouting drivers away from it. This experiment revealed something fascinating about how traffic detection really works. Systems like Google Maps don’t rely primarily on cameras or roadside sensors. Instead, they analyze the movement patterns of millions of smartphones. When large groups of devices on the same road suddenly slow down, the system interprets that as congestion. When they start moving faster again, the traffic indicator disappears.

This is what Labour wanted. 500 children without a school place. 170 staff made redundant. Their VAT raid on school fees was never about “fairness”, it was about punishing independent education. Children, families teachers and support staff are now paying the price.

@DominicMcGregor The purpose of HS2 is to increase capacity on the rail network, by separating express trains from freight trains and stopping services. It's not about saving a few minutes journey time. FFS

Dominic McGregor@DominicMcGregor·
We don’t need faster trains to London. I deeply believe that. The difference from 2 hours to 1 hour 30 is nominal. What we need is a better experience. There’s a psychological concept called temporal perception. Time feels longer when you’re frustrated and shorter when you’re absorbed. That buffering wheel. The email that won’t send. The Teams call dropping mid-sentence. That’s not a 2 hour journey. That feels like 4. Give every passenger reliable WiFi and a plug socket and the journey shrinks not on the timetable, but in the mind. Now @elonmusk & @Starlink can now do this. So why are we waiting. HS2 cost billions to save 30 minutes. Better WiFi would give that time back every single day.

@PoliticalStacy Americans never surrendered their firearms. There were over 200 school shootings in the USA in 2025 (vs 0 in the UK). And, talking of Government "tyranny" government agents in the USA have shot and killed citizens on the street for peacefully protesting (vs 0 in the UK) 🙄

Stacy is Right@PoliticalStacy·
Brits surrendered their firearms in 1997. Less than 30 years later, they're being arrested for Facebook posts. That's not "safety." That's the speed of tyranny once a government knows its citizens can't push back. When people are disarmed, the state no longer fears the people. And when governments have zero fear of the people, they do whatever the hell they want. History proves it over and over: an unarmed population is a compliant one. The right to bear arms isn't just about hunting or sport, it's the final check against a government that forgets it's supposed to serve, not rule. The Second Amendment isn't about muskets. It's about maintaining the balance of power between citizens and the state. Never give up the means to defend your liberty. Because once it's gone, the slide into authoritarianism happens faster than most people expect. May this never happen here.

Currently sitting in Tesco car park watching multiple Asian couples stuff trolleys full of potatoes into the boots of their cars, where they will be transported to their local shops, unpackaged and sold for 5 times the price. All while hard up families miss out on these offers due to Tesco not limiting the number of items per customer. Absolute greed.

This was a PR stunt and continues to fool people like @DrNeilStone even today, 85 years later. What you’re seeing in that photograph is a room full of iron lungs, widely publicized during the height of the polio panic in the 1940s and 1950s. It’s one of the most famous staged images of the period — taken not as a clinical scene, but as a public-relations piece designed to elicit donations, justify massive funding, and visually dramatize the “war against polio.” Want to see the FULL story? x.com/forrestmaready…
