Net Stupid Zero In pictures …. Making us poorer

I've spoken to quite a few people recently who still hate Margaret Thatcher for what she supposedly did to the coal mining industry 40 years ago, but they fully support Mad Red Ed Milliband destroying the UK oil and gas industry. Strange people.

@markofsoton @RadiumChaser @YouGov Labour are not centrist by a long way.

@RadiumChaser @YouGov Greens and the Lib Dems are in a bind..nimby greenism is not going to survive NATO denial at GE, likewise one national liberalism is fragile could see a Tugendhat Tory party eating both their rural seats. Libs need to go for actual liberalism, devo & anti-labour centralism.

Our latest Westminster voting intention (29-30 March 2026) has the Lib Dems on their lowest figure recorded by YouGov this parliament Reform UK: 23% (no change from 22-23 Mar) Greens: 19% (+1) Conservatives: 19% (+2) Labour: 18% (-1) Lib Dems: 12% (-1)

UK energy policy 👇🏼 We own half the North Sea oil cow, but we've gone "net zero vegan," locked it in the shed with sky-high taxes, then buy milk from Norway's identical cow next door... and smugly announce we're saving the planet ♻️ Meanwhile, Norway's cow is still happily producing, and we're paying top dollar for what used to be our own dairy 🤷‍♂️ Let's End this Madness, let's start drilling 🇬🇧🛢️

The supply of oil will be severely affected by the current situation in the Middle East. We are so lucky in this country to have an abundant supply of this commodity constantly on tap from our own North Sea reserves. It's just a matter of sheer luck that we're sat next to literally billions of barrels of oil providing us with energy security for decades. Now, just imagine if a government decided not to utilise this bounty and instead decided to completely ignore it's existence in favour of relying on other countries to supply it to us at greatly inflated prices. That would be insane.

The best save I’ve seen in a long time. Incredible, Jordan Pickford. 👏

@NickPates i think the players are trying but they are not good enough and playing a system that clearly doesn't work by a manager who is incapable at this level.

The 1200 that travelled deserve so much better. The decline is embarrassing, players not bothered, Gary and the board continue to pick up the 💰 and bury their heads in the sand. What a total mess

@LeagueOne25 scrub wilshire of the list for a start!

These managers are currently occupying the top 10 Who is the best manager and and is getting the best out of their players? Brian Barry-Murphy Michael Skubala Steven Schumacher Dave Challinor Graham Alexander Liam Manning Leam Richardson Alex Revell Michael Duff Jack Wilshere

@LutonNews_LTFC so easy to defend against and so boring to watch. get the ball forward and stop trying to play 'the pep way' with very average players.

JW: "We don’t want to pass it around the back just to pass it around the back, we never talk about that. We want to find the right passing lane and then go forward. You can see that with the goal, that’s two passes and we cut through them, so if the spaces are there, let’s go."

@___GJS___ is there one player apart from clicker who would get in the team who were last in league 1 ? i think we we are weaker in almost every single position.

Is there a player in our current squad, with the exception of Clicker, who would run through a wall for the manager/fans/club?? NO is the answer, no leaders in this team what so ever! #LTFC

The real reason they want a cashless society.

Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer exposed as £1.2million property-hoarding hypocrite The Gorton and Denton by-election hopeful owns a lucrative £1.2 million real estate portfolio, including a £736,000 second home bought in August 2024. She publicly slams second homeowners for “hoarding” properties and rails against landlords, while her party demands the abolition of private renting and aggressive rent controls. Spencer bought her first home at 24 with help from her mother and has boasted online about outbidding first-time buyers and flipping properties for profit. Peak champagne socialism: preach equality and revolution while quietly stacking a property empire most Brits could only dream of.

@Deeno567 @BedfordHatter firstly NJ wouldn't leave charlton to come back, secondly i don't blame him for leaving for bigger jobs as did pleat, name me a better manager we have had since bfj?

@BedfordHatter Fuck NJ get Warnock in to sort this shit show out

Now Sheehan and Macca would seem a much better option 🤔

@andyhawkington @LutonNews_LTFC Not having it regarding brown.. he was and always was poor.

@LutonNews_LTFC Makes you wonder if our recruitment team are identifying the talent, but the club culture etc isn't helping get the best out of them? Joe Taylor should be in that category too. And Alli. Nordås. Probably Brown.

A brace for Bim Pepple who makes it eight goals in nine games for Plymouth as they hammer Cardiff 5-2 at Home Park this afternoon. 11 for the season now too after not scoring in his opening 10 appearances. One that got away for the Hatters?

@DonnyLebowski @MrsMcGoo83 sorry, just can't see jw inspiring the dressing room, nothing has improved with him in charge, he has shipped out some and brought in some, but same bland, boring football.

@MrsMcGoo83 JW has been sold something totally different to what he was told

Sack JW and bring back NJ. FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF. I refuse to accept that the manager merry go round is the only way forward.

@HattersNews @alikalhamadi I'm looking forward to seeing the best from most of them!

Luton chief looking forward to seeing the best of @alikalhamadi lutontoday.co.uk/sport/football…

Let’s get one thing straight before they gaslight you into swallowing this. This is NOT just about “age verification” so kids can’t scroll TikTok. The under-16s social media ban, and the under-18s VPN ban, is digital verification for everyone; because the only way to enforce it is to make every single person prove their age, prove their identity, and “check in” with the State before accessing the modern internet. And yes… you already know where it leads. OneLogin. A centralised identity system designed to collect your credentials and your biometrics (face, iris, fingerprint) and bind them to a single government account. This ban is not the end goal. It is one verification type. One tiny draconian token. One single piece of the Digital ID puzzle. And the equation remains the same: OneLogin + GOV Wallet = Digital ID. Age verification will become one token on that wallet, but first, before the wallet is fully normalised, before it’s “rolled out” to every citizen through exclusion and coercion, they’ll do what they always do: They’ll introduce the gate first. To access a VPN, a social media site, or even an AI tool, you will be forced to “prove” you are over 16 or 18 — and the proof won’t be a private check, or a local device setting, or a parental control. It will be a government check. A government login. A government permission slip. You will have to “check in” with GOV OneLogin to access the internet like a normal person — and soon enough a token for this will be issued into the GOV Wallet, just like the proposed BritCard token that has now allegedly been “scrapped.” This is the same system, the same architecture, the same rollout pattern... just with a different sticker slapped on the front. And once the token exists, it becomes the default. Once it becomes the default, it becomes the requirement. Once it becomes the requirement, it becomes the leash. Because what they’re building is not an age gate. It’s a permission gate. A surveillance gate. A system where your ability to access platforms, services, information, communication — your ability to exist online — becomes conditional on your compliance with a credential check that is logged, tracked, and centrally controlled. They will see what you do. When you do it. What you search. What you access. What you post. And people will still be saying, with a straight face: “Well, it’s a good thing under-16s are being banned from social media… they’ll be safer.” That’s the bait. Then you hear Starmer say: “How will parents police this alone?” And notice what he’s really saying. He is not empowering parents. He is positioning the government next to parents, granting the State the same “authority” to parent your child, to decide what is healthy, what is harmful, what is permitted, what is “wellbeing,” and what must be restricted. The same government that has lied to you for years about safety. The same government that signs away your rights in the name of protection. The same government that cannot define a woman, cannot secure a border, cannot arrest a p3dophile (rather employs and promotes them), cannot run a hospital — but somehow wants you to believe it can be trusted to police your child’s mind. And if you think this is going through “proper process,” think again. A month ago they announced a consultation on the under-16s ban. That consultation is a red herring. Because Starmer’s little phrase “Fast Track” is just PR language for something much uglier: Henry VIII powers. Powers that allow ministers to change legislation without parliamentary scrutiny, without debate, without any democratic friction. And that means the actual rules — the ones that govern your data, your access, your verification, your wallet, your permissions — will not be written on the floor of the House. They will be written by an unelected civil servant in a closed room, and rubber-stamped by a Secretary of State. The consultation is not democracy. It is the hologram of democracy. Designed to make you feel heard while the law is already coded, the architecture already built, and the enforcement mechanism already chosen. And it gets worse. Because this ban is being routed through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill; a bill that will receive Royal Assent before the consultation even ends. So what exactly are you “consulting” on? A decision that’s already been made. A system that’s already being implemented. A lock that’s already being installed on your front door while they ask you what colour you’d like the handle to be. Then there’s the Unique Identifier for ALL children. They will sell it as “tracking attendance.” But it isn’t an attendance system. It is a digital tether. A permanent state identifier for your child, designed to follow them across systems, databases, services, education, healthcare, “wellbeing,” behavioural monitoring, and digital permissions. And once you combine a Unique Identifier with digital tokens, with “digital wellbeing” regulation, with AI-driven scoring, you have built something monstrous: A system where a child’s “Wellbeing Score” can drop — determined by government-approved metrics, possibly processed by government AI — and the State can remotely revoke their digital tokens. Effectively deleting their social existence until they comply. No access. No platform. No digital participation. No “privileges.” Just compliance. And here’s the part people are missing: They are granting themselves the power to amend the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill without proper parliamentary scrutiny and without waiting for the consultation to end. They are giving the Secretary of State delegated powers to regulate “digital wellbeing” which is a euphemism so broad you could drive an authoritarian regime through it. They can amend laws at any time. They can expand definitions at any time. They can widen the net at any time. Meaning the Prime Minister and Secretaries of State become the architects and the judges. The lawmakers and the enforcers. And Henry VIII powers are named after a tyrant for a reason. Because they were designed for a monarch who forced Parliament to pass laws and accept personal proclamations. That is the lineage of the power Starmer is dressing up as “Fast Tracking.” This isn’t safeguarding. It’s centralisation. And it doesn’t stop there. The other legislation being pulled into this system is the Crime and Policing Bill which is progressing as we speak and the Online Safety Act 2023 — both of which contain mechanisms to expand and amend enforcement without passing fresh primary legislation. Meaning they can tighten the screws without the public ever noticing. No new “big scary bill.” No headline. No national debate. Just silent regulatory expansion. A little more coercion. A little more surveillance. A little more permissioning. Until one day you wake up and the internet — the place you work, learn, communicate, bank, shop, organise, speak, and live — requires you to present a government token just to enter. And you’ll be told it’s normal. You’ll be told it’s safety. You’ll be told it’s “for the children.” This consultation is a farce. The law is being passed. Age verification for all will be forced upon us unless we act now, and unless people stop staring at the headline and start seeing the architecture. This is not even the start of mission creep. This is another step. Another spoke. Another token. Another gate. And yes, there are other ways to improve online safety. Every person over 16 is issued with a National Insurance number. There are privacy-preserving options. There are local-device checks. There are non-centralised approaches. But that is not the point. Because the point is not safety. The point is control. This is part of the digital gulag. The panopticon. A credentialed society where your ability to participate is conditional, permissioned, and revocable... and where the State holds the master key. Linked below is another important post about the Digital ID stack that everyone needs to understand...

Journalist Alex Newman delivers a flawless 90-second summary of the climate agenda: "The notion that CO₂ is pollution is absolutely preposterous... But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO₂ is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO₂ emissions." "Every single aspect of your life, then, if we submit to the idea that CO₂ is pollution, then comes under the regulatory control of the people who claim to be saving us from pollution."

@BasilTheGreat this government, the last government all in it together. corrupt.

This was the moment the UK voted AGAINST having an inquiry into the Muslim Rape Gangs A horrifically dark moment in UK history We will never forget those that did this And they will be damned for all eternity
