What does it matter if Starmer goes or stays? His successor won’t know how to grow the economy Won’t cut state spending Won’t stop the boats Won’t offend its Muslim client group Won’t stand up for working people against “progressive” crap. Labour is the problem.

1958: a British fishmonger had cod, haddock, plaice, sole, herring, mackerel, sprats, kippers, smoked haddock, eels, oysters, mussels, cockles, whelks, brown shrimp, and crab on his slab. All landed within the week. All from British waters. 2026: a British supermarket has tilapia from Vietnam, salmon from a Norwegian feedlot, and a tray of "white fish bites" of unspecified species. The North Sea is still there. The boats are still in the harbour. Somewhere between 1958 and now, the fish stopped reaching the customer.

Repost!🙌🏼

Bradford matters. Demographically, it is the youngest city in Europe. The scene of the worst sectarian riots in Britain this century. Under Labour, it became a test-bed for a policy of multiculturalism which insisted all cultures and languages were of equal value. That policy has been a disaster for a city which, 150 years ago, was one of England's most prosperous. More than anywhere else in Britain, Bradford exemplifies the incompatibility of 'Baradari' kinship networks with Western freedoms. It is why the city has the highest incidence of first-cousin marriage in the UK, with the worst rates of birth abnormalities, as a result. It was where, in 1989, a novel written by Salman Rushdie - and deemed 'blasphemous' by Iran - was publicly burned by a mob outside the city hall. It was a seminal moment: when the British State chose not to stand up for the right to offend. Bradford is a city where the white working class has been routinely ignored, caricatured as racist and pushed into ever-shrinking ethnic enclaves. Labour deserved to lose power in Bradford. The pity is that they didn't lose it decades ago. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is an April Fool joke. If it isn't then it explains why so many are voting for Reform - likely the only Party who would stop this utter madness.

A student from India who does not hold British citizenship and is here on a temporary visa has just been elected to the Scottish parliament to serve a four-year term (salary £80,000 per year). How in God’s name can something like this be allowed to happen? Our democracy is sick.

🇬🇧 Most British schoolchildren are taught about Magna Carta. They are taught it was sealed in twelve fifteen at Runnymede. They are taught it is the foundation of English liberty. They are taught it is one of the most important documents in human history. They are not taught what came next. They are not taught about the eighty years between twelve fifteen and twelve ninety-five when ordinary Englishmen forced three successive kings to write down, for the first time in any kingdom in medieval Europe, what English law was, what English liberty was, and how an English king must govern. They are not taught about the Charter of the Forest, which restored the right to graze, gather firewood, and live on common land, and which remained in force for seven hundred and fifty-four years. They are not taught about the Provisions of Oxford in twelve fifty-eight, often called England's first written constitution, which placed the king under a council of fifteen and required Parliament to meet three times a year. They are not taught about the Provisions of Westminster in twelve fifty-nine, which subjected the barons themselves to the same law they had forced upon the king. They are not taught about Simon de Montfort, an earl born in France who died for England, who summoned the first Parliament in English history to include ordinary commoners alongside the great lords. They are not taught about the Statute of Marlborough in twelve sixty-seven, which is the oldest piece of statute law in the United Kingdom still in force today. ⚖️ Seven hundred and fifty-nine years old. If you've ever taken a debt to court in England, you've used it. 🏠 If you've ever rented a home, you've been protected by it. 👑 If a creditor can't lawfully drag your possessions into the street to settle what you owe, that's because of a law signed seven hundred and fifty-nine years ago. They are not taught about the Model Parliament of twelve ninety-five, summoned by Edward the First, which became the shape of every English Parliament since. Eighty years. Three successive kings. The first written constitution in any kingdom in medieval Europe. It was not given to them. It was not handed down from God or king or Pope. ✍️ It was written. By Englishmen. For England. 🇬🇧 The British write their own history. They always have. This one needed more than a thread. The full story is in our video, watch it below 👇 Help us remember who we are. Help us remember every British achievement. 👇🙏 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

A change of Leader irrelevant. It's policy changes people are wanting. Stop squandering money on welfare/foreign aid/supporting illegal immigrants and spend it on Defence, security of baseload power, utility company nationalisation (for free), crumbling schools/hospitals etc

What about 'regenerative' cover crop farming? There's an article in the Y Post today about a farm using this - has been for several years. No ploughing? Small amount of insecticides.

This guy is here on a temporary three year student visa. He just won a 5 year term in the Scottish Parliament. He is currently crowdfunding for another temporary visa Mental. Absolutely mental

"Sugar-free" is code for "we replaced sugar with something even worse for you." "Fat-free" is code for "we took the fat out and packed it with sugar to make up for the taste."

Between both Reform and the Conservatives, they now have a majority to control Bradford Council. Their first motion, at the first council meeting, must be to write to the National Rape Gang Inquiry and DEMAND that Bradford be confirmed as a city under investigation.

The River Washburn is a river in Yorkshire, rising in the uplands of the Yorkshire Dales before flowing south-east to join the River Wharfe. From its source just south of Stump Cross Caverns, to its meeting with the River Wharfe near Pool-in-Wharfedale, is a little over 16 miles.

A crown so delicate that the flowers seem to float in your hair, made nearly 4000 years ago.... Unearthed untouched in the tomb of Princess Khenmet at Dahshur, this exquisite gold diadem is a masterpiece of ancient craftsmanship. Woven from interlaced gold wires, it holds nearly two hundred tiny flowers, each with a carnelian center and five petals inlaid with turquoise. These blossoms are arranged around clusters shaped like lotus blossoms and secured with pins so fine the whole works must have seemed like shimmering blossoms among her hair. The diadem comes from the 12th Dynasty of Egypt, during the Middle Kingdom, under the reign of Amenemhat II. Princess Khenmet shared her tomb with her sister Ita in a burial complex near the pyramid of Amenemhat II. Her parentage is not absolutely certain, but her position and burial goods strongly suggest she was royalty. What makes this crown especially breathtaking is its lightness. The gold floral network is so delicate that each flower might have moved with the breeze, shimmering against her head as though scattered petals. These kinds of adornments were more than just jewelry. They were statements of status, artistry, and belief, symbols meant to accompany royalty into the afterlife. Though the diadem was found in perfect funerary context, scholars still debate whether Khenmet ever wore it in life or if it was made solely to be buried with her. Either way, the craftsmanship reveals just how ski*led Egyptian goldsmiths had become, working with gold, carnelian, and turquoise to create pieces that were beautiful, symbolic, and technically demanding. Strange Fact: The design uses “cross-like” clusters of lotus blossoms which are not crosses in the Western sense but represent flower clusters, a reminder that images we think we recognize in ancient artifacts often carry very different meanings in their own culture #archaeohistories

Activist: "You can graze sheep underneath solar panels. It's called agrivoltaics." Farmer: "I've read the brochures." Activist: "Best of both worlds." Farmer: "The panels shade the sward. Productive species die back. What grows is what tolerates shade and compaction. Sheep won't finish on it." Activist: "But the trials show it works." Farmer: "The trials run three years and measure ewe presence. Not lamb growth rates. Not finishing weights. Not what the soil looks like in year fifteen." Activist: "It's still better than nothing." Farmer: "It's a 30% stocking rate, a steel frame I can't plough around, panel-cleaning chemicals running into the watercourse, and a 40-year lease I can't break." Activist: "But you're getting energy AND lamb." Farmer: "I'm getting a third of the lamb, a maintenance contract, and a field my grandson can't farm." Activist: "You're being negative." Farmer: "I'm watching a thousand-year-old way of feeding people get traded for twenty-five years of subsidised electricity. Negative would be the polite word."

Yet another example of the big lie, Yorkshire Water's shareholders and not investing a penny over the next 5 years it's all coming from customers, funded directly from bill payers pockets. Next time someone tells you otherwise show them this.

There's a joke that barn owls must have been stoked when humans invented barns. The reality is darker. Barn owls are now heavily reliant on human structures (barns, silos, sheds, nest boxes) because we've destroyed most of their natural nesting habitat. Modern farming, development, and the loss of large trees have taken away their original homes. In many places, the majority of barn owls now nest in man-made structures or the nest boxes people put up to help them. They're incredibly effective rodent hunters, but they need safe, dark cavities to raise their young. Without us providing (or preserving) those spots, their populations drop fast. So yeah, we kind of owe them the barns. And the nest boxes. And the untouched old trees. The owls do good work for us, we just made their housing situation a lot harder.
