Come on @Tesco!!! You buy a steak for £11 for a special occasion, looks lovely until you turn it over and realise half of it is fat and sinew. No time to return it so have to pretty much cut it in half to make it edible. Finest my ass!! Do better and stop tricking customers!!

Centre for Migration Control

Our country is in a dark and dangerous place. In the last week we have seen: Multiple stabbings in North London - allegedly orchestrated by an Islamist group. A huge police raid on the premises of an Islamic sect in Cheshire for alleged sex offences and forced marriages. Two Afghans charged with rape in Plymouth. A Sri Lankan hotel migrant charged with grooming and raping a teenage girl. An Iraqi charged with sexual assault in Stockport. An Egyptian illegal migrant laughing as he is convicted for rape. An Iranian rapist avoiding prison and instead required to undertake a 'consent programme'. The Iranian embassy call for a British-based Iranians to join a "martyrdom programme". What have politicians done to our country?

I'm an ex-Muslim. I left Islam when it was safe for me to do so. The punishment for apostasy in Islam is death. The UK wants to enforce an Islamophobia bill which silences ex-Muslims from sharing our experiences. This would be another nail in the coffin for freedom of speech

@everymovieandtv “This movies shows why schools need to have multiple armed guards.” No. This movie shows why guns should be banned.

Why oh why doesn’t our establishment accept that its only moral obligation is to the British state and the British people? Not to global welfare. Not to international liberalism. To us, and our country, and our self-government. That is it. The moment they do that, so many of the issues which plague our society become easier to manage. Immigration is no longer a question of benefitting the largest number of global citizens but about boosting the British economy while keeping British people safe. Foreign relations is not about promoting obscure minority rights in far off lands but about securing British interests wherever necessary. And most of all we drop the idea that every culture in the world is the same and therefore anybody can fit in here, and celebrate the fact that Britain has a highly distinct, highly evolved culture all of its own that we want to cherish and protect. What’s so difficult about that?

Every 12 DAYS, China's carbon emissions exceed Australia's total annual emissions. Consequently, Australia's efforts to achieve net zero emissions would be offset by China's emissions in just two weeks. Net Zero is a scam of massive proportions!

@callme_Chari @RoyalFamily Clearly you don’t understand protocol. It’s the Archbishop of Canterbury who issues a message at Easter, not the monarch.

The Man Who Paid In & The Man Who Paid Nothing. Meet Frank, the man who paid in. Frank turned 80 last winter. He grafted 52 years as a builder in Manchester, his hands and back are broken from laying bricks in pouring rain. Every week he paid his National Insurance. Never claimed benefits. Never broke the law. He raised two kids on a council estate, paid his taxes and did his bit for the country he loves. Now he shuffles to the post office in the same coat he’s worn since 2018. His old Nokia phone barely holds the charge. His State Pension is £241.30 a week, just over £12,500 a year, but after gaps, Frank gets less. He counts every penny. Some weeks it’s heating or eating. Last winter around 2,500 people in England died from cold associated causes. Frank keeps the thermostat at 15 degrees and wears jumpers indoors. "I’m not living," he tells his neighbour. "I’m just existing." His wife, Margaret, has been in a care home for two years, dementia stealing her away. Frank struggles to keep their old car on the road for weekly visits. One more breakdown and those trips could end. Every pension day is the same. Frank walks past the bookies where young fighting age men fresh off small boats shout, laugh and slap down stacks of cash twice as thick as his weekly pension. He keeps his head down, clutching his wallet, praying nobody follows him home. His street no longer feels like his street. Fewer familiar faces. Foreign languages. The corner shop is now a Turkish barbers. He feels all alone in the city he once helped build. Meet Ahmed, the man who paid nothing. Ahmed arrived on a dinghy last summer, one of 41,472 Channel crossings in 2025, mostly young men from Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Sudan. He tossed his documents into the sea, then claimed asylum the moment the dinghy touched the beach. No passport. No papers. No contributions. The Home Office puts him in a hotel. Heating on full. Three meals a day. Security on the door.Ahmed strolls the streets in new clothes and the latest iPhone, using free bus shuttles twice a day, drinking and laughing with friends outside the same bookies Frank avoids. He broke immigration rules entering the country uninvited. Once granted asylum, the door opens to UK benefits and housing. Frank paid in all his life and obeyed every rule. He built the Britain that now houses Ahmed. Ahmed has paid nothing and doesn't obey the rules, he receives shelter, warmth, food, free transport and pocket money while Frank rations food, huddles under blankets to keep warm and constantly worries about money. Tonight as Ahmed relaxes in a warm hotel room with new Nike trainers by the bed, wondering what’s for dinner. Frank sits in his cold home wondering why a lifetime of hard work brings only deprivation. This story is repeating in towns and cities across the country. This isn’t fairness. This is a betrayal. #UKNews #UKPolitics #StopTheBoats

@realninawysocka It’s protocol for the Archbishop of Canterbury, not the monarch, to issue an Easter message. Queen Elizabeth II only broke with this once, during Covid.

No Easter message from the King. Is it a big deal… or are people just overreacting?

Fascinating letter in @Telegraph from Airey Neave’s family today. Perhaps this lead to what the Government must surely have been hoping to avoid, a case of unintended consequences? Let’s hope so. The government’s dreadful, vindictive, one-sided, terrorist rewarding, victim blaming and history-rewriting bill may actually come back to bite them if it allows, thorough the courts, for Neave’s killers and many other murderers like them to finally face justice. @williams_rje

Dear Sadiq Khan, I think some of the prejudice to do with 'singling out Muslims' is to to with their stated intention to kill 'infidels', expecially the bit about beheading them You see, the other religions don't promise that
Sadiq Khan@SadiqKhan

British values mean defending everyone’s right to practise their faith freely. In London, I’m proud Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and others can celebrate in Trafalgar Square. Singling out Muslims isn’t ‘British values’ - it’s prejudice. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Fr Paul@revpaulwhite·
This morning I was reflecting on the figure of Barabbas. It is easy to simply feel aggrieved that the crowd chose to free to 'wrong' person, to let the criminal go free and to send the innocent man to die on the cross. But this is, of course, the whole point of the story. If we put ourselves into the position of Barabbas then we were imprisoned and doomed to die, but the innocent Jesus is sent to the cross in our place, and we are set free. It was a miscarriage of justice. Barabbas did not get what he deserved and neither did Jesus. But neither do we, for exactly the same reason. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
