Andy Burn'em blaming Mrs Thatcher for de-nationalising companies in energy, water, oil etc which resulted in foreign ownership is completely disingenuous, and frankly dishonest or just plain ignorant. What Burn'em WON'T tell you is that Mrs Thatcher ensured that her government retained what were known as 'Golden Shares' in these companies. These allowed the government to stop foreign takeovers and to have a big say in how they operated. Guess what though?🤔 The EU objected to these Golden Shares through their 'Free Movement of Capital' clause - Article 63 TFEU. So John Major started to sell them off accordingly BUT the vast majority were sold off by TONY BLAIR and LABOUR. So the finger for lack of government control in this area needs to be pointed at Tony Blair and Labour, NOT Margaret Thatcher. So I am calling out Andy Burn'em as a liar.

365 years of temperature data from central England, the world's longest running climate record, show no trend. Despite a six-fold rise in population and a surge in CO2, January temperatures have barely shifted since 1600. Likewise for July, the hottest month of the year, temperatures are virtually unchanged. The warmest winters on record happened in the 1700s, the 1800s, and the early 1900s, long before modern emissions. Any warming is slow, natural, with the slight modern uptick likely linked to 1) the urban heat island effect, and 2) earth's gradual recovery from the little ice age. If CO2 really controlled the climate, this chart (see video) would shoot up on the right, but it doesn't...

A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago. He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like. His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds. "You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall." He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes. The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him. Here's every setting he changed 🧵

The OBR projects a typical low wage migrant will cost the British taxpayer ~£600,000 if they live to the UK average life expectancy of 82. Every low wage migrant allowed to settle wipes out the entire lifetime income tax contribution of a British household.

We were told mass migration was necessary, because it would pay for pensions. Now the government is forced to cut pensions, to pay for mass migration.

Shabana Mahmood's new "safe and legal routes", allowing hundreds of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers, sponsored by mosques and NGOs, to settle in Britain, is based on the 2023 Fabian Society proposal, Lawful and Fair: Building A Better Migration System. The paper prohibits deportations and says that democracy does not mean "that every policy must command a majority" of public support. Sponsors will receive taxpayer subsidies to support the migrants, and migrants must repay £10,000 in housing costs — but this can come from benefits, also paid by British taxpayers. This is while they are given brand new homes in small villages, despite the Home Office admitting that they pose a threat to schools and nurseries. Mahmood also quietly reversed the ban on illegal migrants gaining British citizenship, saying it was "outside their control" that they paid a people smuggler to ferry them to Britain. Immigration policy is a crucial part of their gradual socialist revolution. It is why Labour will never respect the public's wishes to see immigration stopped and reversed. The next government must commit not just to sending everyone imported via this scheme back, but to stripping citizenship from illegal migrants and the Boriswave. Otherwise, we will be stuck with these people, and their costs and crimes, forever.

The UK last built a public water reservoir in 1992. The population has increased by over 10 million in the intervening years. Including a surge of immigration. Now, the state has the cheek to announce a hosepipe ban. Why is that necessary? Because no infrastructure has been built to cope with the expanding population. It rained for the whole of January but not enough reservoirs to catch the water. Our governments have been absolutely and unrelentingly crap. Short-termist. Only interested in importing cheap labour. Not a care for the people who live here and want things to work as they do in a civilized country. The next reservoir, in Havant, is not scheduled for completion till the early 2030s. Prepare for more hosepipe bans and collapsing sewers. Britain urgently needs an effective ruling class before we slide into a failed state.

Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK·
🚨Pakistan has declared it will not take back the Rochdale Monster - Shabir Ahmed - “under any circumstances”. Over the last 20 years Tory and Labour governments have sent £6 BILLION of your money in foreign aid to Pakistan in real terms. They issued 2 MILLION visas to Pakistani nationals. All in the name of “soft power”. Yet the Rochdale Monster - Shabir Ahmed - convicted of raping 30 girls as young as 12 - “cannot be deported” because Pakistan is refusing to take him back. How POWERFUL do you feel right now? The Tory Labour uniparty have betrayed hard working Brits, sent our treasure abroad and allowed the rape of British girls by foreign nationals. Do not fall for the Tory and Labour talking heads and their assets in the press pretending they’re angry. They sold you out. They are traitors to their country. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

🚨 Auditors have REFUSED to sign off the Government’s accounts. That comes directly from the National Audit Office. They’ve issued what’s known as a disclaimer of opinion. That’s audit speak for: “We can’t verify the numbers.” This is the same Government that has: 💰 Put taxes up by £70 billion. 💰 Borrowed £270 billion 💰 Told us there still isn’t enough money to properly fund our Armed Forces. Yet their own auditors are saying they can’t verify the accounts. And remember… This is the same National Audit Office that has found up to £81 billion a year is lost through fraud and error. Can you imagine if this was a private business? It would be shutdown and investigated There are those who want to tax us more and give these people even more money. I have a different idea. How about we start looking into where all the money is actually going? Because if the auditors are refusing to sign off the accounts… …and the National Audit Office says up to £81 billion is lost through fraud and error every year… …perhaps the problem isn’t that taxpayers aren’t paying enough. Perhaps it’s that nobody seems to know where the money is going.

Labour wants to FORCE you to invest your pension money into UK projects, even if there is little prospect of a return It will force pension managers to put your retirement savings into “state approved” categories of investment and call it “patriotic duty” It isn’t! It’s theft
