The Rational Animal 🤔@theobjectivist·
This perfectly captures the parasite's delusion: that wealth is static loot to be seized and redistributed. Here's what actually happens when you "repossess all their stuff": The producers will rebuild. They'll create new wealth because that's what they do. They identify opportunities, solve problems, innovate, build businesses, and generate value. Their wealth came from their minds, not magic. The looters will consume what they stole at light speed and wind up with nothing. Because they never learned to produce. They only know how to take. Look at every socialist revolution in history: seize the factories, the farms, the businesses. Within years, everything collapses. The factories stop producing. The farms stop yielding. The wealth evaporates. Venezuela. Cuba. Soviet Union. Zimbabwe. The pattern is identical. Why? Because wealth isn't stuff sitting in a vault. Wealth is the ongoing process of human intelligence applied to production. Confiscate a factory and you get the building. You don't get the knowledge, vision, and competence that made it productive. The "rich" you want to loot aren't dragons hoarding gold. They're producers creating value. Rob them and you rob everyone, including yourself. You'll be left with ruins and still blame capitalism.

CHAGOS: THE KILLER BLOW 🇮🇴 💥🤯 Me for @Telegraph If you thought the farce of Labour’s Chagos deal couldn’t be any more shambolic, then you underestimated Sir Keir Starmer. Not only have all the opposition parties, the president of the United States, the Chagossians themselves and even the United Nations lined up against this deal – now the courts have ruled against it. The Prime Minister, the haughty King’s Counsel and former director of public prosecutions, has been humbled on his own wicket. “Mr Rules”, who set international law on a pedestal above the British national interest, has been laughed out of court.  The Government even had the gall to threaten the brave Chagos landing party with jail time, while serious and violent criminals run riot in Britain. 
Drop this dreadful deal and get on with fixing the issues all of us in Britain are facing! Like our border crisis, the stalled economy, an ever-ballooning welfare bill, a youth unemployment crisis, unacceptably high waiting lists, a lack of housing, the list goes on. 
 You have to feel sorry for the Mauritian government, which trusted Starmer’s word, that he could get this deal over the line. They must feel pretty silly for thinking Starmer might deliver. Then again, JOIN THE CLUB.

BREAKING: Starmer suffers major defeat in court regarding his plans to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago from the UK to Mauritius. The judge of the BIOT Supreme Court (British Indian Ocean Territory) has: - Has overturned Tony Blair’s law from 2004 that removed the Chagossians' Right of Abode. - Calculated that the cost of Starmer's Chagos surrender will be up to and over £48bn. The government claimed it would only be £3.7 billion - The judge made it clear that there is no historical authority for a prerogative power to expel or permanently exclude a population of British subjects from the territory to which their citizenship belongs. - The Judge quashed the Governnent's removal orders against the 4 Chagossians who recently returned to Chagos to stop the transfer to Mauritius. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest moments in the campaign to Save Chagos and might completely derail the government’s plans to transfer the territory to Mauritius as there are now Chagossians living on the islands.

🚨 Myth Buster: We keep hearing that if foreigners left, the NHS would collapse and the economy would shrink. I’ve checked the government’s own data. If every Pakistani & Bangladeshi person in the UK vanished tomorrow — here’s exactly what would happen. Population: ~2.3 million (3.4% of the UK). Working-age: ~1.3 million. Employment rate: 61% (lowest among major groups), with full-time workers among the economically active at just 19.8% (vs national 34.9%). Real full-time job loss: max ~300,000 — under 1% of the entire UK workforce. NHS impact: ~20,000 staff lost (including ~3% of doctors) — locally disruptive in some areas, but nationally just another staffing gap that gets filled. On the flip side, this group accounts for 5–7% of preventable admissions (1.5–2× higher rates of diabetes, CVD and anaemia despite being 3.4% of the population). Beds would free up quickly. Welfare: Bangladeshis claim child benefit at 34%, Pakistanis at 30–33% (national ~18–19%). Disability Living Allowance rates are similar or higher. Net annual saving: £4–5 billion. (Conservative estimates). Prisons: ~2,600 inmates gone (~3% of total). Overcrowding drops from 102% to ~99%. £150–200 million saved yearly. (Note: Muslim inmates already disproportionately influence many prisons.) Grooming gangs: Operation Stovewood (Rotherham) — 64% of suspects Pakistani heritage. Greater Manchester audits — 52–54% Asian/Pakistani. Casey National Audit 2025: “Men of Asian and Pakistani ethnicity are disproportionately represented” in local data from key forces. Overnight, 30–65% of known perpetrators in those investigations disappear — and thousands of white working-class victims face no further risk from those networks. Timeline - First 24–48 hours: Almost nothing noticeable except emptier A&E chairs in places like Peterborough and Birmingham Heartlands. - 1 week–1 month: NHS waits in certain cities rise 5–10% (quickly absorbed), prisons get breathing room, Treasury notices £300–400 million a month no longer leaving the country. - 3–12 months: Permanent net fiscal saving of £4–5 billion/year (welfare +£4.5 bn, prisons +£0.4 bn, preventable NHS +£0.7 bn, minus ~£1 bn lost taxes). Northern towns lose 20–40% of residents; thousands of takeaways and corner shops close. The country does not collapse. Lights stay on. The NHS does not fall apart. This isn’t a proposal — it’s simply what the State’s own spreadsheets show (ONS 2021 Census & LFS 2024, DWP Stat-Xplore, NHS HES 2023-24, MoJ prison stats June 2025, Casey Audit 2025, NCA Operation Stovewood) when you stop lumping entire continents together. The operational hit is tiny. The fiscal relief and social relief are massive. A decades-long national stain lifts. Draw your own conclusions. (For historical perspective on how civilisations have handled similar patterns, the Christopher Hitchens clip on the Barbary slave trade and Jefferson’s response — from the original thread — is worth watching.) @RupertLowe10 @Con_Tomlinson

🚨Global Reset: Trump is showing he holds the cards - and he’s using them. Tankers loaded with US 🇺🇸 diesel, bound for Europe, just diverted mid-Atlantic. Aliai, Minerva Vaso, Grand Ace6 — all turned away. The Atlantic is now a floating auction. Europe is about to feel the squeeze. Fkn Hard. But this isn’t just market chaos. This is Trump showing the world he holds the cards — and he’s using them. Europe spent decades cozying up to China while happily leeching off American security guarantees. Britain got especially comfortable — too close to Beijing, too reliant on its energy sector and Chinese supply chains, and now paying the price with a socialist government and the weakest PM in living memory. Trump has been laser-focused on China from day one. He doesn’t like Europe’s socialist experiment, and he’s taking pieces off the board, one by one: Venezuela ✓ Iran ✓ Europe? Next. Cuba? Next. Part of the play on Britain: Trump is openly pushing us to drill our own North Sea oil and gas reserves immediately. Stop the madness of net zero self-sabotage and heavy reliance on China (and expensive US imports). Open it up, incentivise the drillers, and become energy independent. He’s said it repeatedly — the North Sea is a treasure chest we’re sitting on while our bills soar and our leverage vanishes. This is the new global realignment I’ve been posting about for months. America First isn’t just a slogan — it’s live on the high seas right now. And don’t forget the other front: the Islam problem Europe has imported and appeased. Trump’s team sees it crystal clear. European leaders are bending the knee to domestic coalitions and the deranged left, desperate to impress their new voter base while normal people foot the bill. The vast majority aren’t buying it. The bill is coming due. Britain is getting hit hardest because it chose weakness — socialist policies, green dogma, and pandering — at exactly the wrong moment. Wake up, Europe (and especially Britain). The free ride is over. Drill your own, secure your borders, and realign — or keep paying the price. The floating market just delivered the message ‼️ #Trump #GlobalReset #FloatingMarket x.com/energyabsurdit…

Mr Starmer, On this day, 31 March 2026, history will record your actions with clinical precision. There you stood in Downing Street, warmly shaking the hand of Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former commander of al-Qaeda’s Syrian franchise, architect of jihad, suicide bombings and the slaughter of innocents. The cameras captured every second of Britain’s latest act of surrender while you grinned like a gracious host receiving an honoured guest. Only weeks earlier, you declared Muslims the new face of England and allowed a known Palestinian terrorist to lean in and whisper instructions in your ear while you nodded obediently like the spineless puppet you are. You have destroyed relations with our greatest ally, Donald J. Trump. You have betrayed every oath you ever swore. You have handed this nation over to its enemies piece by piece while rewarding traitors like Sadiq Khan with peerages. You are not a Prime Minister. You are a traitor who has deliberately dismantled Britain from within. Your name will be remembered with nothing but contempt. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

Good morning, Stella Creasy. How very revealing. The woman who has spent years demanding buffer zones to silence pro-life protesters outside abortion clinics is now crying that a few of them have turned up outside her own office. One does so admire the breathtaking hypocrisy. You campaigned and voted for abortion right up to birth, pushed for laws to criminalise peaceful vigils, yet when the public exercises their right to protest you, you suddenly play the victim and complain about “disruption” and “they aren’t constituents”. The British public sees you clearly now, a tone-deaf, self-important MP who can dish it out but can’t take even the mildest pushback. You’re not being intimidated, Stella. You’re being held accountable. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧
stellacreasy@stellacreasy

Sorry Walthamstow- am trying to get to my office but am afraid the entrance is blocked by this lot …to be clear, they aren’t constituents and they aren’t telling the truth either…and they won’t intimidate me either but hope you will bear with us for the disruption they cause to me and my staff!

Once everyone is exposed. Once the dying media is finally put to rest. By the end of these 4 years you will not only see the changing of the guard, you will see the overwhelming majority of the country fully embracing Donald Trump. You’ll call me crazy, you’ll be asking if I lost my mind. My response? Quite the contrary. You see Donald Trump has two purposes. One-To deliver his America First agenda, unite the American people, and to return our country to prestige on the world stage. He’s brought in trillions of dollars in investments to our country which guarantees an insurmountable number of robust jobs back to America. He’s revitalized our military and shown the world firsthand what American might is all about with his historic entry into Venezuela and his takedown of Iran His second purpose is to not only restore our Justice System but to bring those down who are responsible for tearing it apart. All the corruption, all the freebies, all money allocated for bullshit is done. Trump is exposing filth in real time and the corrupt media will be left with two choices. Report the truth or sign off the air forever. As Trumps term reaches year 3, I feel by then Trump will gain the confidence of the majority of the country from both parties. There will be no no denying the accomplishments he is bringing to this country. Why do you think he fought so hard with jerkoff Powell to lower interest rates? He knows that will be the fuse, once lit it will stimulate our economy better than his monumental first term. I truly believe once the Dems and the dirty Republicans are all exposed hopefully leading to many arrests and indictments, the media who are paid to protect the evil will have no choice but to cover everything Trump in a positive fashion being forced to report the truth. Call it a pipe dream, call it whatever you like but the house of cards will be crumbling and that is when the Democrat party along with the rigged media will be put to sleep. It all starts and ends with Trump delivering what he’s promised to the American people. A great economy. Once interest rates come down, illegals are removed, the floodgates for American jobs will be open for business for all Americans of all colors. We are MAGA. We don’t discriminate. We are for all Americans thriving. We are about loyalty. We are for love thy neighbor and it all starts with your faith in God. That power of faith and Trump delivering for the American people is a recipe that spells success. It reminds us all about what America was and will be once again. There is a reason Trump was spared from that bullet fatally ending him. Call it Divine Intervention. Call it what you like but with all the shots the Trump haters have taken at him he still stands tall delivering for the American people. Something is protecting Trump and it is much more than luck. The American people are starting to open their eyes. Our biggest fight is within. We must get our house in order. It starts by ridding those who are against everything we stand for. It starts by clearing house and getting rid of the do nothing RINOs, Thune and Johnson. It starts with accountability with or without Bondi Forget what the media says. Trump is loved across the world. They line up just to get a glimpse of his passing car. That is love. That is respect. They all believe in this man. We the People all believe in this man. Trump is the chosen one. As time passes the doubters will realize everything the Dems and media sold them was nothing but bullshit. They will realize Trump is here to help all Americans not destroy them. It will be at that time the love for Trump will finally catch on. Then our restoration of our America will be complete. Believe in the power of God. Believe in the power of Trump. Don’t be surprised when the people of this great country call for another 4 years. That’s how special this man is. That’s the power he brings. God Bless. My two cents

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, will reach 1 light-day from Earth this year in November. Voyager 1 has been flying for nearly 50 years at 38,000 mph. One light day means radio signals traveling at the speed of light take 24 hours to reach it. When engineers send a command to Voyager 1, they wait two full days for a response one day out, one day back. Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 powered by a plutonium RTG that generates roughly 4 watts of usable power today less than an LED bulb. On that power budget it is transmitting data across 24 light hours of interstellar space to a 70 meter antenna on Earth. It has now traveled farther from Earth than any human made object in history, moving at 17km per second, and it still calls home every day. The most distant thing humanity has ever touched is a 47 year-old spacecraft running on 4 watts, and we can still hear it.

Britain Is Sleepwalking Into Lebanon. Lebanon did not fall overnight. It was once the most cosmopolitan, pluralist state in the Arab world. Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East. A functioning democracy. A free press. A Christian majority that built a nation generous enough to welcome those who came. It believed that openness would be met with openness. That tolerance would be reciprocated. That good faith was a universal language. It wasn't. It never is. The Palestinians arrived after 1948 and in their hundreds of thousands after 1970, expelled from Jordan with their militias intact. The Lebanese state, too timid to enforce its own sovereignty, allowed armed factions to operate as a state within a state. Then Iran exported its revolution westward and Hezbollah was born, funded from Tehran, running its own hospitals, schools, courts and welfare networks. It made the Lebanese state optional for an entire community. Every accommodation encouraged the next demand. Every retreat was read as weakness, because it was. The civil war that followed lasted fifteen years and killed 150,000 people. But the war was merely the violent expression of something that had already happened. The state had lost its monopoly on violence. Communities had retreated into armed confessional blocs. The centre had hollowed out. Lebanon was already two countries sharing a flag but not a future. The Christians didn't lose because they were cruel. They lost because they were naive. They believed demographic generosity could be squared with political stability. They believed armed factions could be absorbed into a civic order. Power follows population. Identity hardens under pressure. Every community with a coherent creed will eventually act on its interests. The moral high ground is not a defence. In Lebanon it became a grave marker. Now look at Britain. Since 2018, boats have arrived on the Kent coast carrying tens of thousands of men, the overwhelming majority unvetted and undocumented, from Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Eritrea. They are housed and supported at public expense while the state performs the pantomime of processing them. Anyone who raises the subject is accused of racism before the sentence is finished. This is not immigration. It is the progressive dissolution of Britain's right to determine who enters its own territory. The parallel institutions are already here. Sharia courts operating alongside civil law. Educational environments teaching loyalty to the Ummah rather than to Britain. Areas where policing is negotiation, investigations are quietly dropped, and the state modifies its own behaviour for fear of communal reaction. In Lebanon they called it accommodation. They kept calling it accommodation right up until the checkpoints went up. The electoral bloc pressure is already here. Candidates selected on the basis of foreign conflicts. Representatives answering to communal leaderships rather than constituents. The institutional failure is already here. The Charity Commission investigated the Islamic Centre of England for three years. Little changed. Universities host vigils for mass murderers and hold nobody accountable. Prevent is applied selectively. Everyone knows it. Nobody says it. Lebanon did not collapse because its enemies were strong. It collapsed because its institutions were weak. Because it confused tolerance with the abandonment of standards. Because it believed the centre would hold without anyone holding it. Britain is not Lebanon yet. But Lebanon wasn't Lebanon yet, once. It drifted. Demographics shifted. Parallel loyalties hardened. The state lost the nerve to enforce a single standard of law. Bit by bit the centre hollowed out. We are drifting. The question is whether anyone in authority will admit it. Before the drift becomes a current too strong to swim against. "Power follows population. Identity hardens under pressure. Every community with a coherent creed will eventually act on its interests."

To be absolutely clear, the looming fertiliser and food price crisis has not happened to us. We have done this to ourselves. In 2014, I worked with the UK’s shale gas sector and the fertiliser industry. Our warning was very simple: without domestic gas, you lose ammonia; lose ammonia, you lose fertiliser; lose fertiliser, you hit food supply. Ammonia is also needed to make... explosives - which are quite handy when you need to re-arm. Westminster, green campaigners and national media journalists scoffed. It was dismissed by anti-fracking campaigners as “scraping the barrel”. Then reality intervened in 2021–22 with the war in Ukraine. In June 2022, fertiliser producers went into administration because they could not secure feedstocks at viable prices. By 2023, CF Fertilisers (which acquired Grow How) announced the permanent closure of its UK operations. And now, in 2026, we are told the problem is Donald Trump and disruption to the Strait of Hormuz. This is classic obscurantism. Shift the focus to the trigger. Avoid the structural cause: domestic energy policy, climate policy (Net Zero) and deindustrialisation. And continue to deny the potential of shale and the North Sea. Our media and political elites do this because confronting the actual cause is too uncomfortable. Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats all chose, over time, to make this country more dependent. Not always explicitly, not always deliberately, but consistently. Sabotage fracking. Ban it in 2019. Vandalise the North Sea with the EPL. Allow energy-intensive industry, including fertiliser, to be offshored. Accept higher costs and greater reliance on imports as the price of policy. And if you are Ed Davey, boast to journalists that you are “proud” to have played your part in sabotaging the sector as Energy Secretary. SW1 can dress it up however they like. They can continue to point to geopolitics, wars, foreign leaders. But the chain was known in the 2010s. The risks were flagged. The capacity was allowed to wither anyway. Now the whole country will pay for it. See the @NWTaskforce briefing note from 2014 here: d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/nwenergy/pages…

Good evening Stella. How very revealing. You posted a video of yourself dancing at a silent disco in Walthamstow, then got upset when it went viral and received a huge negative reaction. Patrick Christys didn’t “demand” anything, he simply offered you a polite right of reply to address the backlash. Yet here you are, framing it as some outrageous attack while claiming you’re too busy with “important constituency work” to appear on the programme. How very convenient. The British public isn’t angry because you went to a disco. They’re angry because while the country faces record immigration, grooming gang scandals, knife crime, energy bills through the roof, and an NHS in crisis, one of their elected representatives thinks it’s a good idea to post herself prancing around like everything is fine. You are not “out of touch” because you went dancing. You are out of touch because you thought the public needed to see it. Patrick Christys was right to highlight it. The temerity isn’t his for asking, it’s yours for thinking you’re above scrutiny. The British public sees you clearly now, Stella Creasy a tone-deaf, self-important MP who lectures everyone else while completely detached from the struggles of the people who pay her salary. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

28 MARCH 2026: THE DAY LONDON WELCOMED THE ENEMY On this date, the mask was not merely removed, it was deliberately cast aside. What was presented to the world as a great popular uprising was in reality a carefully coordinated parade of the British political class’s most compromised elements. Trade unions, NGOs, Stand Up To Racism, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Antifa networks, LGBTQ activist organisations, Muslim Association of Britain, CAGE, Extinction Rebellion affiliates, and dozens of other funded radical entities marched shoulder to shoulder with MPs including Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Diane Abbott, Stella Creasy, Dawn Butler, John McDonnell, Richard Burgon, Rebecca Long Bailey, Nadia Whittome, Apsana Begum, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Clive Lewis, Ian Lavery and the full Green Party leadership under Zack Polanski. They came not to speak for the British people, but to declare war upon them. THIS WAS NOT PROTEST. THIS WAS OCCUPATION BY PROXY. Yesterday, the enemy within showed its full strength in the open, funded, organised, and emboldened while the native population of these islands watched the streets of their capital taken over by those who despise them. LET THIS DATE BE REMEMBERED. 28 MARCH 2026 WAS THE DAY THE TRAITORS, THE INFILTRATORS, THE FOREIGN-ALIGNED RADICALS AND THEIR DOMESTIC ENABLERS STOOD TOGETHER AND REVEALED THEMSELVES WITHOUT SHAME. They are not the voice of the people. They are the voice of those who hate the people. And the British people will not forget. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

The Hormuz crisis is the precipitating factor in the current energy crisis, but the underlying cause is too little oil and gas production outside the Persian Gulf. Had the world spent the past decade building the oil, gas, LNG, pipeline, and fertilizer infrastructure that engineers designed and companies proposed, the Hormuz crisis would still be a serious geopolitical event, but it would not threaten to cause a recession. North America — The Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a 600-mile natural gas line from West Virginia to North Carolina, saw its cost double from $4.5 billion to $8 billion during years of environmental litigation before Duke Energy and Dominion Energy cancelled it in July 2020. — The Constitution Pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York died the same year. — The PennEast Pipeline won its case at the United States Supreme Court in 2021 and still could not get built because New Jersey refused to issue state permits. — In Canada, TransCanada abandoned the $15.7 billion Energy East pipeline in 2017 after the National Energy Board required an unprecedented review of upstream and downstream emissions. — In January 2024, the Biden administration paused all pending approvals for LNG export terminals shipping to non-free-trade-agreement countries, freezing projects representing tens of billions of cubic feet per day of potential capacity. — Venture Global’s CP2 terminal in Louisiana, designed for 20 million tonnes per annum, sat in regulatory limbo for over a year. — NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG in Texas, with 48 MTPA of planned capacity, stalled alongside it. — PTT Global Chemical’s proposed $10 billion ethane cracker in Belmont County, Ohio, first announced in 2015, remains on indefinite hold after failing to attract financing partners amid climate-driven investor sentiment. — Across the US Gulf Coast, nearly 60% of planned plastic and petrochemical production projects sit on hold. — LNG Canada, the Shell-led terminal at Kitimat, British Columbia, took over six years from construction start to first cargo, with its pipeline running 263% over budget. Environmental review, Indigenous disputes, and contractor cost escalation all contributed. — Pieridae Energy’s Goldboro LNG project in Nova Scotia, a 10 MTPA facility first proposed in 2012, was abandoned in November 2023 after more than a decade of permitting and financing obstacles. Australia — Australia’s Santos’s Barossa gas project was halted midway through construction after a Federal Court ruling overturned its environmental approval. — Woodside’s Scarborough project faces ongoing litigation from the Australian Conservation Foundation seeking to block it on climate grounds. Africa — Perhaps nowhere has the damage been more consequential than in Africa. At COP26 in 2021, wealthy nations pledged to halt overseas development finance for gas projects, a commitment that fell hardest on the continent least responsible for climate change and most in need of energy infrastructure. — The World Bank stopped financing oil and gas extraction in 2019 and imposed restrictive conditions on downstream gas projects. — The European Investment Bank announced a complete ban on unabated fossil fuel financing by the end of 2021, with its president declaring that “gas is over.” — At least 21 other development finance institutions followed suit. As a result: — TotalEnergies’ Mozambique LNG project sat under force majeure for four and a half years after the UK Export Credit Agency and other backers withdrew climate-motivated financing. — The East African Crude Oil Pipeline lost financing commitments from more than 30 major international banks under pressure from climatists. Europe — France prevented the completion of a third gas interconnector with Spain, citing climate neutrality goals. — The United Kingdom imposed a moratorium on fracking in 2019 despite sitting atop one of Europe’s most promising shale gas formations. — Germany, which shuttered its last three nuclear plants in April 2023, compounded its gas dependency by refusing to develop domestic shale resources. — CF Industries permanently shut the UK’s largest ammonia plant at Billingham, a facility that also produced 60% of Britain’s food-grade CO2. — Yara International curtailed output across plants in France, Italy, and Belgium before permanently closing its 400,000 tonne per year ammonia facility at Tertre, Belgium, in October 2024. These closures occurred because European climate policy made gas too expensive for the domestic industry to survive.

Claudia Webbe, Independent MP for Leicester East, imagine being the kind of deeply disturbed, psychotic predator who, day after day for 18 long months, stalked and tormented her boyfriend’s lover like a deranged obsessive. Silent phone calls in the dead of night, calling her a “slag”, threatening to throw acid in her face, and vowing to send naked photos of her to her own children. Only a truly sick, twisted mind could sustain that level of venomous cruelty for so long. Pure moral sewage. While she was busy indulging her psychotic vendetta, her own constituency of Leicester East quietly rotted under her watch. Grooming gang scandals, spiralling knife crime, community breakdown, and deep deprivation, all festering while Claudia Webbe spent more time grandstanding on national “anti-racism” marches and Palestine activism than actually serving the people who elected her. Leicester East didn’t get a champion. It got a convicted stalker who used her position as a stage for her personal obsessions and ideological crusades. And yet here she is this convicted acid-threatener, revenge-porn stalker, pathological liar, and self-appointed Palestinian crusader, still pushing propaganda on the 28th March march and positioning herself as some kind of moral guardian. You’re only spewing out this vile garbage so your own kind can cheer at it, because normal Brits look at you and feel nothing but pure, seething disgust. You are a walking disgrace to this country. You are not the voice of the people. You are the voice of the people who hate the people. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

Half a million in London today. The largest anti-far right march in British history. 56 billionaires own more than 27 million of us. They built the crisis, bankrolled the hate, and bought Reform UK. The streets belong to us - not to Farage, not to Musk, not to their money. x.com/PSCupdates/sta…

What a profound little paragraph ...... "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~ Dr. Adrian Rogers

You are NOT alone. Millions of British people are watching our country fall apart and thinking: “This isn’t the Britain I grew up in.” It didn’t happen overnight. It started with Blair — mass immigration, globalisation, and the slow surrender of our borders and identity. Every single time the public voted for lower immigration… the politicians ignored us. Every. Single. Time. We got sick of Labour, voted Brexit, and trusted the system to deliver. Instead we got a fudged Brexit, Boris and — shockingly — even HIGHER immigration than under Labour. Then came the last election. Record low turnout. A grey, boring Starmer somehow limped into No.10 and immediately became the most unpopular Prime Minister in living memory. His cabinet? A bunch of student politicians with zero business experience and even less common sense. Pathetic. Then Nigel Farage gave us hope. The man who fought for Brexit. But Reform UK has become Tory Mark 2 — welcoming back the exact same MPs and advisors who helped create the mess we’re in. Same faces. Same failures. Same betrayal. It looked like there was no future. But now there’s a real alternative the what’s gone before @RupertLowe10 — one of the hardest-working, no-nonsense MPs in Parliament — has launched @RestoreBritain_ What started as a movement is now the fastest-growing political force in the UK. He’s not another slick politician. He’s fearless. He says what millions of us are actually thinking. And he can be trusted. Restore Britain isn’t about left or right. It’s about putting British people first again. Stopping the madness. Fixing the borders. Restoring our streets, our services, our pride. Decades of elected fools have broken this country. Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain are here to fix it. This is our chance. Join Restore Britain today. Tell your friends. Share this thread. The silent majority is waking up. Let’s take our country back. 🇬🇧 Join Here ➡️ restorebritain.org.uk/join_us #RestoreBritain #RupertLowe

A Parliament of Charity Workers and Lobbyists. In a Time of War. Of 238 new Labour MPs elected in July 2024, 72 worked in the charitable sector, 72 were political employees and 70 worked in communications or lobbying. Roughly ninety percent have never worked in defence, manufacturing, engineering, medicine or law enforcement. A parliamentary source quoted in the Sunday Times put it plainly. If only we had the same number with defence or military experience, maybe we'd be in a different place. Maybe. But the problem runs deeper than defence spending. It runs to the question of what kind of person ends up in parliament, what professional formation shapes their instincts, and whose interests they are constitutionally equipped to represent. Charity sector workers are trained to see the world through the lens of vulnerable groups, international obligations and institutional compassion. Political employees are trained to manage narratives and avoid uncomfortable truths. Communications and lobbying professionals are trained to advance the interests of whoever is paying them. Not one of those professional backgrounds prepares you for the question of how to defend a sovereign nation, manage a border, hold a foreign state accountable or protect a citizen from an Iranian proxy group that is firebombing Jewish ambulances on British streets. The parliament that responded to the Golders Green firebombing by debating the language used to describe it is a parliament staffed by people whose entire professional lives have trained them to manage perception rather than confront reality. The government that rolled out an anti-Muslim hostility definition while twenty Iranian backed terrorist plots were being planned on British streets is a government whose instinct is accommodation rather than accountability. The thirty six MPs who wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding Nick Timothy's investigation were not all acting from professional instinct. Several have documented histories of antisemitic language or associations. Others represent constituencies where the Muslim vote is the primary electoral consideration. The Sunday Times source suggests the problem is defence spending priorities. It is that. But it is also the Trafalgar Square response, where Keir Starmer reached for Tommy Robinson rather than engaging with a theological argument he knew he could not answer. It is the Attorney General deploying his Jewish identity to provide cover for a false equivalence he knew to be false. It is the parliamentary machinery mobilised to silence the people naming what is happening while the people doing it operate without consequence. All of it flows from the same source. A political class whose professional formation is compassion, accommodation and message management, governing in a moment that requires clarity, resolve and the willingness to say plainly what the evidence shows. Britain is not short of intelligence assessments. MI5 has thwarted twenty Iranian plots. The Walney report documented Iranian influence operations in the charitable sector. The security services know what is happening. The problem is not knowledge. It is the absence of the professional formation, the instincts, the language and the willingness that would allow the people in power to act on what they know. Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies. They were never going to see it coming. And even now that it has arrived, on the streets of Golders Green, in the WhatsApp groups of the Green Party, on the Embankment where death to America was chanted on a Sunday afternoon, they are still reaching for the tools their professional lives gave them. Compassion. Accommodation. Message management. And the instruction not to take the bait. "Ninety percent of the new Labour intake came from charities, political offices and communications agencies."
