2/2 .@caroleaussie I am not sure why a democracy needs to vibrate, but I think all honest obserfvers would concede that US democracy is plagued by campaign contributions, crude celebrity and many other faults.
Carole@CaroleAussie

@ClarkeMicah @Rickardo66 I'm sure Peter Hitchens thinks he's being clever here but this one of the more asinine comments he has made on this topic. America, for all its faults, is a vibrant democracy while Iran is a brutal repressive Islamic regime.

You can wipe your smug tone. I'm offering an explanation since you obviously don't know. YES every civilization starts with agriculture. Which is why they are behind: Fertile Crescent domestication of wheat, barley, peas, etc. began ~10,000-9,000 BCE. Africa's main crops (sorghum, millet, yams) started later, mostly ~5,000-2,000 BCE. Thousands of years behind, to be exact.

@RupertLowe10 @campbellclaret Rupert has shown he’s scared of doing interviews unless they’re soft ball rubbish like @AndrewGold_ok where it’s just two people agreeing with each other. He can’t stand his views up. It’s populist nonsense telling people what they want to hear

Free speech Rupert! My view on yours. Ps I note you didn’t respond to our invite to come on and discuss all of this. Amazing how people like you and Nigel really don’t like robust intelligent conversation and examination of your own views. Is it enough just to have Musk pumping it all out for you?
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10

Alastair Campbell has just accused me of having 'extreme views'... Starting an illegal war based on a pack of lies causing the unnecessary death of so many British soldiers is the extreme position, in my view. I just want my country back - there's nothing 'extreme' about that.

@JChimirie66677 Do you believe the figures the French put out? We've seen so much footage of them standing, doing nothing while the migrants run to their boats. If they were actually doing the job, surely very few boats would succeed. What do you think?

The Spanish Playbook. And Why Starmer Is Reading It The French border deal expired at midnight on Tuesday. No new agreement was reached. Britain is now paying £16.5 million for a two month emergency extension while negotiations continue. When the current three year deal began in 2023, French forces were intercepting 46.9 percent of Channel crossings. That figure has fallen to 33.1 percent, the lowest since small boat crossings began. Britain has paid £475 million for a deal under which French interception rates have dropped by nearly a third. Nigel Farage's assessment is blunt and difficult to refute. If you cross the Channel illegally you have over a 90 percent chance of remaining in the United Kingdom. That is not a border. It is a welcome mat with a processing queue attached. The government's response this week has been to announce that it is moving 10,000 migrants out of hotels and into communities. Houses of multiple occupation. Army barracks. Local housing stock. The Home Office calls this restoring control. What it is, is settlement. Hotels are temporary. Communities are permanent. You do not move people into residential accommodation, register them with GPs, enrol their children in local schools and integrate them into housing stock if you intend to deport them. You do it when you have already decided they are staying and you are managing the presentation of that decision. The £10 billion asylum accommodation contract stretching to 2039 makes the same point without ambiguity. No government signs a thirteen year contract for a problem it intends to solve. Now look at Spain. Today, Pedro Sanchez's socialist government opened applications for the mass regularisation of 500,000 undocumented migrants. Legal residence. Work permits. Access to healthcare and social security. Bypassing parliament entirely through a Royal Decree. Sanchez calls it dignity, community and justice. His opponents call it electoral engineering, converting an undocumented population into a future voting bloc before the next election. The question worth asking about Britain is not whether this government intends to manage its undocumented population permanently. The contracts stretching to 2039 answer that. The question is whether, following the Spanish template, it intends to regularise that population before the next general election. The electoral arithmetic is not subtle. The demographics of the small boat crossing population, the communities into which they are being dispersed and the seats those communities fall within, are not a coincidence. Appeals against rejected asylum claims have nearly doubled in a year to over 100,000. The deportation crackdown uses Blair era legislation at half the rate Blair used it. The safe countries list excludes Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Eritrea and Somalia. The men most likely to arrive unvetted are almost entirely unaffected. This is not a government that has lost control of its borders. The contracts prove it never intended to hold them. The dispersal programme proves it has decided they are staying. And the Spanish precedent suggests it may be preparing to make that permanent before you get the chance to vote on it. "Sanchez calls it dignity, community and justice. His opponents call it electoral engineering, converting an undocumented population into a future voting bloc before the next election."

How dare you? Just how dare you?? I want to cry with anger reading this post. Let alone those beautiful girls families. You skipped to Southport, lobbed a wreath in the direction of all the other tributes. Ran away and called everyone FAR RIGHT that were heartbroken, angry and scared for their own children. You have caused the biggest divide this country has ever seen. You locked people up for being angry and scared, some of which never came out alive. You actively withheld information about that murderer and his family. You knew the level of failure that led to that thing taking the lives of children and injuring many more. You forbade any other MP to raise questions about that murderer or the situation. You doubled down and blamed us! Distraught mums and worried parents. If it was possible to despise you anymore I do, having read this post.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer

The brutal, senseless murders of Bebe, Elsie and Alice marked one of the darkest moments in our country’s history. The report today is truly harrowing and profoundly disturbing. It sets out systematic failures that led to this terrible event. I’ve been overwhelmed by the bravery and determination of their families and while nothing will ever bring these three little girls back, I’m determined to make the fundamental changes needed to keep the public safe. I will do everything I can to honour the memory of Bebe, Elsie, and Alice.

The United Kingdom has stripped a person born in the country of citizenship for the first time, The Daily Mirror reports. The case concerns former police officer Mark Bullen. The decision was made on national security grounds. Bullen has long been living in Russia. He obtained a Russian passport, works in St. Petersburg, and is linked to the Zenit football club. He had previously taken part in exchange programs with Russian police.

@boot15_vu Agree. Minor quibble "Chamberlain" is a lazy shorthand for cowardice and unpreparedness, unfair. He was instrumental in setting up the war cabinet (appointing Churchill to it) and as PM building up the military and war production. Chamberlain was as a God compared to Starmer.

Part 2/2 Trump, a timely and easy scapegoat, gets blamed for “showing how exposed we are”. Bollocks. He’s just holding up the mirror. Starmer’s deflecting and gaslighting instead of owning the mess. Grotesque. Iran exposed the naked emperor: drone on sovereign UK soil at Akrotiri. Shadow fleet tankers sail the Channel while the Navy watches. Starmer’s response? Empty threats, sound bites and victory-lap photo-ops. Paper tiger. I never believed I’d loathe someone more than Blair & Campbell, but there we go! Worse – this has exposed the problems other cultures bring. Namely Islam. It’s muddied the waters. Starmer is appeasing his block voters at the expense of the country. Chamberlain on steroids – he can’t stop a dinghy but he’ll broker Middle East peace while pandering to the pro-Palestine mob. FullKitWanker diplomacy while the real threats grow domestically and globally. The ultimate slap in the fucking face to every veteran: We went to the Middle East to fight the enemy. Yet our own government gave them safe passage home after they fought against us. They now walk freely amongst us. More Muslims born in Britain travelled to the ME to fight against us than stood by us – and it will only get worse. Disgusting betrayal. Proof? Starmer welcomed a mass-murdering terrorist – the new Syrian President – with open arms at 10 Downing Street. Less than 2 years ago he was Al Qaeda with a huge bounty on his head. Starmer has handed the Syrian regime £350+ million of British taxpayers’ money. While our military is hollowed out. While the enemy we bled to defeat gets the red carpet. This is what “leadership” looks like now. Fuck off! And we haven’t even mentioned Starmer’s grotesque witch-hunt of veterans. As a barrister he worked for free to reshape human rights law and push for mandatory investigations into our troops in Iraq and Northern Ireland. That opened the floodgates to years of harassment, reinvestigations and court cases against lads who’d already been cleared – some dragged through hell for decades. Johnny Mercer and countless veterans have called it exactly what it is: a witch-hunt. Utterly rancid. And the shameless cunt proves it today. 28 years after the Good Friday Agreement, Starmer posts celebrating it as one of Labour’s “proudest achievements” while he’s the same man relentlessly hunting the very veterans who served in Northern Ireland – the lads who helped deliver that so-called peace. No shame. Zero. He owes every single one of them a public apology and he’ll never give it. Inside RAF units it’s the same cancer. Station Commanders obsessed with DEI targets and woke agendas instead of warfighting. Some elevated on quotas – zero for the mission. Pension-trapped cowards daren’t speak up. The rest are just spineless. No lessons learnt. Munitions gutted. Recruitment in the toilet. Chasing rainbows while the world arms for war. WAR FIGHTER FIRST. Full stop. The fix is brutal: Fire the quota kings and DEI zealots. End the pension-trapped silence. Rebuild the culture around one mission only: winning wars. Slash the bloated MoD/civil service and fund the frontline. Real procurement. Get the right people in for the task. Ones with real expertise & experience. Real stockpiles. Real leadership. MoD and Ministers have failed their duty. Starmer’s gaslighting changes nothing. Hold the lot to account. I served 30+ years, 15 overseas, multiple ops, Battlespace Manager. I lived this betrayal and I’m still furious. More whistleblowers needed. The serving lads know the truth. Britain deserves better than a hollow force, spineless politicians, and imported threats. Warfighter first. Always. The Tower awaits the traitors. End. 🇬🇧 Cc. @haynesdeborah @DrChrisParry @COLRICHARDKEMP @antmiddleton @nicholadrummond @RobertClark87 @afneil @RupertLowe10 @Gabriel64869839 @UKDefJournal @_HenryBolton

UK 🇬🇧 Military 🧵 Part 1. The UK military didn’t “decline”. It was deliberately gutted. The peace dividend was national suicide. Here’s exactly how, when and why it all went to shit – and why the MoD, the civil service, and every single government (especially Blair & Starmer’s) have blood on their hands. 30+ year veteran thread. No more bullshit. Early 90s. I’m in 18 Group Maritime Ops (now PJHQ). Real assets – Nimrods, proper RN escort fleet – tracking Soviet subs that never stopped probing us. Russians didn’t take a peace dividend. Our governments did. Scrapping Nimrods, hollowing the fleet, pretending the threat vanished. Cupboard’s been empty ever since. We’re sitting ducks. Literally! What a fkn shambles. Iraq proved it in blood. No body armour. Open-top Snatch Land Rovers – rolling coffins. Labour sent us to war like that. Yanks nicknamed us “the Borrowers”. 457 of our lads died. Would’ve been far more without American kit and fast air. Chilcot laid it bare. Zero lessons learned. When British troops were in contact – whether in Iraq, Helmand or beyond – they’d be praying for American fast air, tankers and enablers to keep them alive. That’s not knocking our own pilots – far from it. Finbar Monahan DFC and countless RAF heroes showed incredible bravery and ingenuity under fire. But the brutal reality is the scale and sustainment gap our hollowed-out force created. I saw it from the Battlespace Manager seat. We leaned on the Yanks because successive governments left us no choice. While the military was shrunk to the bone, the MoD and civil service bloated like a politicians ego. Civil servants multiplied, costing us a fortune, delivering sweet fuck all experience or value. We’ve been properly duped. Every government destroys the original model and swings wildly the other way. The system is broken. Procurement is still a fucking joke. Military: “We need a dog.” MoD: “Meetings.” Years later: “Here’s a cat. Teach it to bark.” 🐶 = 🐱 I lived this shambles. Left in 2021. Same clowns today. Leadership rot everywhere. Gavin Williamson pushed woke ideology and hand-picked Mike Wigston as CAS. Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak – every single one owns a slice. Same applies to every Defence Secretary. Let’s talk about the Afghan schemes another day Ben Wallace. Tories slashed the military with Options for Change. Labour did Iraq on the cheap. Now Starmer’s at the helm making excuses instead of fixing the real problems. End of Part 1/2 – The rot runs deep and cost lives. Part 2 coming straight after: Trump holds up the mirror, Starmer gaslights, the Middle East betrayal, the cancer inside, and the brutal fix we need.

A new political party that a bunch of unknown amateurs think will save Britain is standing just … 10 people in Great Yarmouth. While the actual party that will save Britain, that just beat Labour in Manchester, that won the local elections last year, and is number 1 in the national polls is standing … 5,000 people across the country. That’s the difference. Never forget that going viral online is not the same thing as building a serious political machine. Britain is in Last Chance Saloon. We don’t have time for inexperienced amateurs. We need political power. That’s the only way we save this country. Voting Reform on May 7th is the only way we save this country.

They'd need to bring in steel and welders and design something to fit, which would be a weeks sort of problem not months.
