The view from Malton

@Sabiha1278 Yes.

I am literally shaking. Some teenager threw a rock off an overpass and did this to my truck. I caught him, and his dad had the nerve to say, "He’s just a kid being a kid, I’ll give you $50 for the 'inconvenience'." $50?? This is a specialized windshield with sensors! He told me I was "ruining a child’s future" by calling the police. I feel like he’s raising a criminal and expects me to pay for it. Do I press full charges?

@jameschappers Oh, really?

Brexiteers constantly try to dismiss polls showing a clear majority of voters want to rejoin the EU by saying they’ll change their minds when it becomes clear the UK would have to join the euro and Schengen. Tonight Michel Barnier makes clear our old opt outs would be reinstated

@ConspiracyD101 @getbitcoin108 @JChimirie66677 Oh for gods sake. I’m not embarrassed. Just bored. Go pester someone else. 👋👋

@MaltonView @getbitcoin108 @JChimirie66677 No. I told you not to embarrass yourself didn’t I? You’ve had all this time to check why there is two dates and you couldn’t be bothered. Would you like to be spoon fed information or do you want to find out yourself?

When You Can't Beat Reform, Change The Rules. Labour Just Did. There is a line in a democracy that, once crossed, changes everything. When those in power begin adjusting the rules of the game to determine its outcome, the game is no longer democracy. It is managed succession. That line was crossed again on Tuesday night. Two days before the Makerfield by-election, Labour rushed a change to the mayoral voting system through the House of Lords. Regional mayors will now be elected using the supplementary vote system rather than first past the post. The change applies immediately. It will govern whoever replaces Andy Burnham as Mayor of Greater Manchester if he wins on Thursday and stands down. The government's defence is that it is simply restoring the system used before Boris Johnson changed it in 2021. That argument requires the public to believe that a change Labour could have introduced at any point in two years of government became urgent on Tuesday evening, forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect. Lord Hayward, a Conservative peer and experienced pollster, was precise in the Lords. There is no other justification for the haste, he said, other than that it solves the Labour Party's problems and prevents Reform winning a mayoralty. Not clumsy. Not rushed. Designed. The mechanics explain why. Under first past the post, Reform could win the Greater Manchester mayoralty on a plurality of votes in a fragmented field, precisely as it won all eight council wards in May's local elections with around fifty percent of the vote. Under the supplementary vote system, voters express a first and second preference. Lib Dem and Green voters, given a second preference, will direct those votes to Labour overwhelmingly. The change does not affect Thursday's by-election. It affects the mayoral contest that follows it, constructing an anti-Reform coalition from the second preferences of smaller parties that Reform itself cannot access. Lord Jackson identified the wider implication. This is potentially a strategy for a progressive alliance being rolled out ahead of a general election, he said, with the aim of locking out the Conservatives and Reform from power. Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation. The supplementary vote is the local pilot for a national project. Pool second preferences, lock out the right, govern indefinitely on a minority of first preference votes. This is not the first time. Earlier this year Labour delayed local elections after the Electoral Commission stated explicitly that the justification was not legitimate, that extending mandates damages public confidence and creates a conflict of interest by allowing those in power to decide how long they may remain there without consent. The Commission's objection was noted and ignored. Reform demolished Labour anyway. Now the same instinct has been applied to a different mechanism. Not cancellation this time. Electoral system change, deployed with surgical precision forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect. Governments confident in their mandate do not need to change the rules two days before the ballot. They face the electorate and take their chances. The timing of Tuesday night's Lords motion is not a coincidence. It is a confession. The voters of Makerfield vote on Thursday. The question of who governs Greater Manchester after that, and under what rules, was settled in the Lords on Tuesday. Nobody voted for that. "Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation."

Well, Zarah, you didn’t go to a local comprehensive. You went to a highly selective grammar school for girls. And we all paid for that, too.

Elon Musk: ”I think there are great things in every culture. We don’t want the German culture to disappear. We don’t want French culture to disappear. We don’t want Korean culture to disappear, or Japan, or America, or anywhere. I think we should be very cautious about having some sort of global mixing pot, because every place will be the same, and there won’t be any unique cultures in the world. Which I think would make the world worse. So I think we need to preserve these country cultures, and that’s the future that I think is better. I think that most people would agree is better. We shouldn’t have cultures disappear. And currently, based on the current birth rates and the sort of so-called multiculturalism and globalism, what we’re actually seeing is the dilution of individual cultures and the destruction and death of individual cultures, which I think is terrible for the future.”

… and more.

In the year 2000, the average Brit was about as wealthy as the average American. Today the American is over fifty percent richer. Strip London out, and large parts of Britain are now level with Mississippi, the poorest state in America, the one they use as the benchmark for failure. How did we fall this far this fast? Choice. Theirs, not yours. They gave you the highest energy bills in the developed world, layer on layer of red tape strangling anyone who tries to build something, and a state that grows while the people funding it shrink. The same political class now wants to bind us tighter to a stagnant Europe and turn its back on the one major economy still actually growing. This was not bad luck. It was a decision made over your head. And you paid for it. Not just in money, but in the years, the holidays, the time with your kids you never got back, while you grafted just to stay still. You were robbed of a better life. And nobody ever asked you.

@MrDavX Of course it is.

What do you think? Yes or No? 👇

Imprisonment - and never hold a position of authority ever again.

I have to say that Clarkson's Farm is one of the finest pieces of television ever created. I started watching it for Jeremy doing stupid Clarksonesque shit, but then it became something deeper and more important to an entire community of Farmers across the UK, and subsequently to us, those who forgot how important farmers are to our country. Clarkson himself, never afraid of being made to look like a knob, opened our eyes and his to the warts and all reality of farming. The show laughs and cries at and with him. Crafted drama could never carry the same pathos as watching a Journalist becoming a farmer.

イスラム学者 「たとえあなたが強姦犯、児童虐待者、殺人犯、テロリスト、あるいは麻薬密売人であっても、 イスラム教徒であり、礼拝を行っているのであれば、アッラーの目には、 一度も犯罪を犯したことのない異教徒よりも道徳的に優れているとみなされる」らしい こんな連中と共存はできない

A father in the UK discovered his daughter had been kidnapped and was being abused by a Pakistani grooming gang. Desperate to save her, he went to the property where she was being held. Instead of helping him rescue his own child, British police arrived and arrested the father. This is the same pattern exposed in the grooming gang scandals for years: authorities prioritizing political correctness, “community relations,” and fears of racism accusations over protecting vulnerable British girls. The victims and their families are abandoned while the perpetrators are often shielded. This level of institutional failure is unforgivable.

Henry Nowak is murdered by an immigrant, his family, and the police. A man is nearly beheaded by an immigrant. A report shows 250,000 UK children have been raped by immigrants. UK PM Keir Starmer responds with a social media ban, digital ID, and proposed VPN ban. Why? He wants the Muslim vote. A sick man.

“I am here to rule you. To rule Trump, Elon Musk, Netanyahu, and Jews. Why are you proud of UK? This is my land, it belongs to Allah,” says a recently arrived refugee without documents, living for free in a British hotel. This is their mentality. For them, it’s a religious war.

Hey @UKLabour The EU had a vote yesterday. Remember when you absolutely slated us for suggesting detention centres when we get into No.10? You called us racists and compared the policy to concentration camps? Well....here's what was voted in favour of yesterday by 418 to 218...' The European Parliament has approved tougher migration rules that will grant authorities much broader detention powers and allow for the creation of deportation centres outside the bloc. MEPs have voted in favour of introducing 'return hubs' outside the EU for people whose asylum seeker applications have been rejected by individual member states.' 'Under the now agreed rules, this will include sending unaccompanied minors whose asylum applications have been unsuccessful to third countries outside the EU'. 'Illegal immigrants will receive a formal return order and will generally be given up to 30 days to leave voluntarily.' 'Those who do not, or who pose a security risk or are thought to be at risk of absconding, can be detained for up to two years.' So....my question is....if the EU can do it across 27 member states....why can't we? @BBCBreaking @SkyNews @GBNEWS @itvnews @GMB @The_TUC @unisontheunion @unitetheunion and all the others who called reform racists so let’s hear your outrage now!

How DARE you fly a British flag on Britain!!! Lib Dem’s say it ‘causes distress’ and it’s a health and safety issue. And they want a high court to agree! meaning up to 2 years in prison …. For a flag! A British flag, in Britain, and it’s the World Cup. I have nothing 🤡

Credit to @Asmongold and others who are fighting against the establishment to raise the issue of the most inhumane, abhorrent, racist criminal events that the west has ever seen during peacetime. The people who are silent are complicit in these horrors and, it shouldn't need to be said but it does, these crimes are ongoing in the UK, every single day in almost every single town and city.

Afroditi Latinopoulou, a fearless young party leader in Greece elected to the European Parliament, delivered yet another powerful lesson to the globalists at the EU. She left them stunned and speechless: “Europe has become unrecognizable, filled with Mohammeds and Mahmouds who hate us in the name of Allah […] Socialists want to Islamize Europe. We need to stop the subsidies now and deport them all!” This is exactly what millions of Europeans are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud. Decades of mass Islamic immigration have turned parts of Europe into unrecognizable zones filled with parallel societies, rising crime, grooming gangs, terror attacks, and open hatred toward Western values and people. The socialists and globalists who engineered this disaster continue to push open borders and subsidies that only encourage more invasion and less assimilation.

The Left: “Believe All Women!” British Women: “250,000+ of us were systematically raped and tortured by mostly Pakistani men from the 1950s to now with help from our police, social workers, NHS staff and politicians.” The Left: “Yea, not you.”

@MasterMaliq They blame the religion that specifically prescribes it. But you apparently think it’s selective. Interesting.

A Muslim man abuses his wife. People blame Islam. Interesting.
